■ NowPlaying Albums
Remember when listening to music meant immersing yourself in a complete album, experiencing each track as part of an artist’s larger vision? NowPlaying’s new Albums feature brings that experience back, reimagining how we engage with music in the streaming era.
While playlists and algorithms have their place, they’ve fundamentally changed how we consume music. NowPlaying Albums takes a bold stance by focusing exclusively on albums, encouraging listeners to explore music as complete works rather than isolated tracks. This approach isn’t just about nostalgia – it’s about experiencing music the way artists intended.
After launching this as a core feature for the Apple TV app, we realized this experience is more important to us than ever. We truly believe that Albums deserve to be the main focus again and are happy to now bring this experience to Apple Watch, iPhone and iPad.
We present you an album based on your listening history & library, selections from Rolling Stone’s prestigious Top 500 list, previous featured albums and some other secrets recommendation variables. You’ll discover great new albums, re-discover forgotten albums and the only options you have is to play or skip them.
It’s like having a knowledgeable friend suggesting your next listening session.

NowPlaying Reviews
Vinyl, CD, and Digital Scrobbling
All of my music listening habits are tracked using the apps’ feature called SongDisplay, which uses Shazaam to identify the song then tracks your habits in Last.fm. This app does more than you can ask for and it does it well. I have not used many other features because I was searching for a way to track my vinyl listening habits on a digital platform.
What am I missing here?
This app has one main purpose as I see it, and that is to improve the display of the song currently playing on your device. Only… that’s not what it does. Sure, you can start up the app and choose Now Playing and see a pretty cool view of the song that is now playing. But when the song changes, this app doesn’t seem to be aware that a different song is “now playing.” You have to terminate this app and restart it so that the currently playing song is shown onscreen. I know this can’t be the intended design so is this maybe a bug? Whatever it is I hope it’s fixed right quick because the app in its current state is useless. Incidentally this issue is present for every device I’ve tried so far, from iPhone to iPad to Apple TV.
Monthly subscription is not an option
I wanted to test it out for a month. Even though the subscription options in the app show a monthly option, a user cannot proceed to select and pay for the app that way. Only the annual option or lifetime option are active. This technical disconnect between what’s displayed versus what works doesn’t give me a lot of confidence.
Amazing/awesome app
This is a super great music app I recommend I really love knowing more about music I listen to and other things that I can do in this app. But keep updating the app if there’s bugs, glitches, etc from people that saw and told you about I really want to see more from this app it’s a super great app I recommend using this app for anything about music that you can do.
Nice app.
If you are looking for the ‘behind the scenes’ info about a track or artist that Shazam lacks, you probably would enjoy this app. The developer is responsive and actively maintaining/improving the app. Another gem of this app is the Display feature, especially on an iPad and optionally mirroring to an Apple TV. This is quite nice if you listen to Internet radio streams that don’t have metadata, as it provides continuously updated track/artist info of what is currently playing.
Compatibility with older iPads
At the moment the app requires iOS 17, but ideally we would like to run the app full time on deprecated hardware rather than on new devices. Any possibility of enabling the AppStore to allow downloads of previous versions?
Works off and on
When it works, it works well. Access to microphone is allowed. After trying several times, it works sporadically. It will stop listening by itself, or it decides to listen and work. Would be nice if lyrics came up automatically when the song does, instead of having to navigate to lyrics.
Shazam is way better and faster
Played 2 songs and never found even the title…. Whatever glad it was free
music app i didn't realize i needed
this is so nice for setting up on an idle extra ipad an leave it running catching any audio everywhere automatically in a way that feels much more natural than shazam or other "look up current playing track info" app.
