Appmuse

Doesn’t do what it says.

Wish this was more integrated into Apple Music, though I certainly can't blame this app for that. Main gripe right now, is that when I click View Details on Musicsmart within apple music, it takes me to the albun page, not the song page. It should be the song, not the albun, as I'm.clicking "share song". Just an unnecessary step to click tracks, find the song you are listening to, and then view notes. Wished it took you to the exact song Show more

This app connects you with nothing resembling actual liner notes. No information concerning musicians, performance dates, etc (although you do appear to get composer’s name). I looked up Van Morrison’s “Roll with the Punches.” I learned that the musician on that album is Van Morrison. Nothing about anyone else on the album. If you were hoping that at last an app had solved the missing liner notes problem, this isn’t it. Show more

I purchased this app hoping to get musician credits. The best I found was a link to allmusic, which I could have done without spending $1.99. How hard can it be to include this information??? Show more

I so often hear obvious instruments that are not credited on tracks. I actually blame Apple for not including liner notes and credits from the begining. Seems nearly “criminal” to sell works without full credits. Show more

I really wish this would work within music. The instructions shows that it will, but when I follow them I am unable to add it in the share menu. I’m on the latest iOS 14.3. I’ve tried twice by deleting and reinstalling. The app’s settings should allow one to keep attempting, but alas... So I find myself using it on its own, reading liner notes while not being able to listen to the tracks. Please make it easier!! Show more

Cant recommend this app enough! Perfect for when you want to find out who’s playing on a track. Perfect for finding out when a song in a playlist was released. Dev is quick to reply to questions. Cheers! Show more

I was looking for something like IMDB for music; who wrote lyrics , who played drums, where/when it was recorded. Nothing like that. Also appears to just work with mainstream music Show more

Nice add if you use AppleMusic as your primary music source. If it ain’t in AppleMusic then this app won’t find the info. The industry needs to get into the act and provide real liner notes and art with an album like they used to with vinyl. Show more

The app whisks you off to the Metacritic website which has never encountered Beethoven, the little known composer. This is certainly helpful for Prince, etc. but you can find additional recording information anywhere. A great idea but the apo will need a wider scope for a variety of tastes. Show more

I really appreciate the developer for creating this app, which addresses a glaring hole left by Apple Music. How Apple could create their extensive product catalog and simply omit all information about a given album and artist is beyond belief. For me, we should be able to find out songwriter, album/track musicians and liner notes. I am an older music lover know and that that information was listed on album covers of the time, so I guess the problem is that the information was never transcribed to a database. Again I appreciate the effort and will continue using the app, hoping some happy day to see updates. Show more

I am an audio engineer and I LOVE being able to see who mixed a song. The new feature to start playing a playlist of a mixer’s top songs is insanely cool. Huge thank you to the developer for the work they are putting into this! Show more

This app is indispensable for any Apple Music user and music lovers in general. So good that I would not be surprised if Apple eventually purchases this app and incorporates it into Apple Music for everyone. Show more

I love this app. It tells you so much info like who has covered songs which I love.

Hit or miss. Hardly any correct information in jazz or classical tracks. 9 out of 10 times there is either incorrect or no information at all. Obviously the MacStories and other press reviewers only listen to pop and hip hop and recent albums at that. Very disappointed. Hopes this gets fixed. Show more

Seriously, it’s two bucks.

I learn new things about the songs in my library that I never knew before. It makes me feel more engaged with the music I have in my library. This app is a must download if you have a large library of music. Keep it up with the updates! Show more

I’m not sure if my expectations were too high from all the glowing reviews, but I’m really bummed this app does not deliver. I really enjoy finding new songs in Apple Music playlists. Traditionally, I’ll hear something new and search on the internet for more info about the song and artist, usually starting with Wikipedia. Almost every song I’ve tried only shows the track listing for the album. No really information about the song itself or the artist. Would be great to even see the Wikipedia information show up, at the very least. Show more

Great app if you want the convenience of looking for more in depth information on an album/song

Wanted to love this app... and all the glowing reviews enticed me to give it a try...and what’s not to like...if it did what it said this would have been a stellar app... but unfortunately it didn’t deliver...have no idea why there were 5 star reviews... you can’t even search...yikes! And the lack of info on so many well known albums is baffling.. The best part of this experience is at least the developer did respond to an inquiry... However there needs a lot and I mean a lot of fixing before this app is a buyable product. Many other sources until then... Show more
