Song Stats for Apple Music 4+

I love the app, but…

I’ve had this app for like 3 years now, and my only complaint is the way the skips are counted. It might not seem like a big deal, but it’s really been bothering me recently. I don’t know if it’s always been this way, and I’m sure it hasn’t because I have songs I listen to a ton that have like 0 skips, and I know for a fact I didn’t work my way around this for 3 years. When I decide to listen to another song and I haven’t played the song already for son already for 30 seconds, the song gets counted as a skip. The only way around this is if I play a song for 30 seconds or add songs to my next queue. I’m sure it’s a recent issue because the songs most affected by this are songs I’ve recently added to my library. Keep Driving by Harry Styles has been in my library since it came out, and it’s my 2nd most played song with over 2k plays. That song only has 1 skip. But pretty isn’t pretty by Olivia Rodrigo has around 500 plays and 18 skips, and it just came out last month. I don’t know if it’s possible, but I wish for the app to only count skips if I actually press the skip button and not because I clicked on another song.

It’s good but one thing..

After I downloaded this app I was SOOOO happy to see how many times i’ve listened to, skipped, what date i listened to, any album, song, playlist, whatever. But a few days ago, I was looking at a song i’ve recently been listening to. I watched it hit 100 plays as I was listening to it. The next day in the morningtime, I checked my all time plays and it said 98. I was like “Okay maybe it’s a glitch”, so I just thought nothing of it. This morning I woke up and saw my all time plays was at 367 cause yes, I listen to the song that much, pretty much throughout the entire day. But just now I checked my all time plays and it says 234!! It deducted plays from me 😭 And that’s very annoying cause I wanna show people my plays to show them I listen to the song more than them (lol) but now I basically have nothing to show. How can you guys fix this?

Developer Response ,

Thanks for the feedback. The data for all-time plays comes straight from Apple Music but I’m sorry to hear that this is happening. It can sometimes jump around a bit if you have multiple devices that you listed on, although I’ve never seen jumps that large before. Hopefully it will resolve itself after a few days.

Phenomenal

Let me just start off by saying I never review apps, like ever. But last year I spent so much time trying to find an accurate music statistic app for Apple Music, and there were next to none that were of good quality. That was, until I found this app. It has so many features and tons of different stats to look at that you wouldn’t have even thought of. Even without the premium version there are still so many areas that you can access and utilize. Everything from individual song plays to entire artists and genres. Not to mention the layout is super sleek and easy to navigate. I look forward to using this app more in the future!
