nope
should have thought more before purchasing; doesn’t work at all
United StatesSimple and functional
What else can I really say about this app? I’ve been using it for a few years perhaps and it’s been perfect to my needs: super lightweight, sits in my menu bar and scrobbles everything from iTunes I play. I can click the icon to see what I’ve been recently scrobbling, but I can’t remember it ever missing a track. Well worth the $3 if all you do with last.fm is use it as a record of your listening. Honestly wish such an elegant solution existed on iOS as well.
United StatesCorrupted data and uncaring developer
This app, when it wasn’t corrupting my data, performed fine. Unfortunately, Apple’s authentication service occasionally fails or logs you out, and guess what this app does when it can’t validate its DRM? Silently scrobbles everything as a single Nickelback song. It doesn’t tell you this. You discover it, on your own, after several hundred scrobbles. You then have to delete them, one by one, from Last.fm. You’ll never get those scrobbles back. I researched a bit and found that when a few users complained to the developer, they basically shrugged or pointed the finger at Apple. This is unacceptable in my view. We are not pirates, we gave you our money through the app store, so you better make sure your DRM works 100% of the time. The acceptable approach? Just show a popup if you can’t validate. That’s the RESPECTABLE thing to do. If you’re like me and desire to track your scrobbles precisely, please learn from my mistake — stay far, far away from this application.
United Statesdoesn’t connect, won’t work, don’t but it!
It simply doesn’t work. The app won’t connect to my last.fm account so it can’t do anything. Don’t waste your money.
United StatesDoesnt Work!!!
I paid three dollard for this And it doesn’t work!! It keeps saying that the token is no good. Can’t even quit the app!! Do NOT BUY THIs! Waste of money. If it odesn’t have avalid token it should not be in the Apple Store. Poo on Apple for putting stuff in store that does not work!!!
United StatesNickelback
This is a good minimalistic scrobbler. However, I wish there were a way to disable Spotify scrobbling. I like the software for scrobbling iTunes but find that the built-in Spotify scrobbling does a better job of scrobbling songs played there. The reason for 2 stars is that due to an annoying bug, the software scrobbled "How You Remind Me" by Nickelback continuously over the course of a day. Like the other reviewer, I purchased the app and had to suffer because of a bug in their anti-piracy measures. Not cool.
United StatesWorks well, but one "feature" really miffed me
I've been using this app for a number of months and it works well for me. Clean and simple, all I need. Only complaint that I have is with an anti-piracy measure the developer has taken. If the copy is not genuine, the app will scrobble every track played as a single Nickleback song. I appreciate a good joke as much as the next guy, but I happen to stumble upon this when one of my computers' App Store session expired. I lost a few HUNDRED tracks scrobbled to this because it thought the copy was not genuine due to the time out. How about instead of being "cute" or "passive-aggressive", you actually warn your genuine users that there was a problem authenticating the software. All it took was a simple reauth and relaunch... Minus two stars for the transparency, unfortunately.
