stats.fm for Spotify Music App 12+

Great for music discovery, but clunky and buggy

I’m giving it five stars because it’s a great music discovery app. I’ve added over 75 songs to my library in less than a week thanks to the social feature.
If the app had better UI I probably would have found a lot more new music by now but the entire app is a bit poorly designed if I’m being honest. There are many features but they all exist in their own silos. For example they have leaderboards with your friends, but only on an artist’s page.
They tell you what your friends are listening to right now but only on their pages so if you want a quick view for discovery you can’t. You have to manually click on each of their pages individually.
On top of all of the features feeling like spaghetti thrown at a wall with no considerations for how they work together, the app is BUGGY. Things are always broken or not working properly on the first click which is annoying.
Again giving it 5 stars bc I’ll take any tool, no matter how inefficient, for music discovery but I do hope they hire a UI/UX designer at some stage. If this app decided to go all in to enabling music discovery I wouldn’t even mind paying monthly personally

Yes! But…

I really enjoy this little app. Admittedly, I often forget I even have it, but when I DO remember, I get so excited to see how all my stats have changed. This latest soulmate feature is so much fun and I can’t wait to nag all of my friends into getting it just so they can link up with other users whose tastes are similar. My only complaint is actually the primary reason I got the app: tracking song streams. Being able to see individual song streams AT ALL is a huge plus, but I would literally give my whole left kidney to be able to see song streams in playlist view, without having to click on each individual entry. I wouldn’t even particularly mind if the playlist limit had to stay under ~150 songs. I can always split up my playlists and rejoin them after, but as someone who is constantly consuming new music, I desperately want a quick way to determine which new songs I’ve hardly listened to—if at all—and which ones I’ve heard a dozen times but evidently haven’t left an impression. It would make sorting everything out lightyears easier 😩🙏🙏

Awesome App!

Overall if you get the premium version and import your data, this app is amazing, the way your data is shown is super cool and really fun to mess around with. However, I do have a couple small issues that could be solved to make this better. When I click on an artist and look at my most streamed albums from them, it first off always shows all of the albums that artist has been featured on or produced, but I only want to see the albums they have created, not anyone else’s because I only care about their personal albums and it also makes everything messy to look at. And secondly, almost every album is shown to have 2 different versions of itself, idk if it’s because my data is weird, but it’s super annoying because it’s showing multiple versions and stream numbers for one album and it just makes it look super crappy and hard to read. Really the only other problem I have with this is album covers, a lot of the songs have really weird album covers put on them when they should just be the original album covers on each track, it doesn’t bother me a lot but it just makes everything look unprofessional and bad looking on an app that is otherwise very clean cut.
