## Review summary

Users like the analytics, social sharing, and the Airfest-style recap, but reliability and provider coverage are recurring concerns. Common issues include missing YouTube Music support, recurring Airfest/recap and widget failures, laggy or inaccurate listening data, intrusive Roast Me overlay, and weak account-merge support. Overall, the app is fun and feature-rich when functioning, but stability and provider coverage need work.

### Pros

- Rich analytics including minutes listened, most played artists, replay counts, and listening history.
- Strong social features: share songs/history with friends and compare music tastes.
- Airfest/recap concept with a week-long concert theme is fun and engaging.
- Generally performs core functions well and provides a Wrapped-like experience.

### Cons

- Missing support for YouTube Music (and other providers) despite multiple requests.
- Airfest/recap and widget outages: recap not loading or broken, and widgets can fail for periods.
- Reliability and timing glitches: slow to track, never shows currently playing song, deleted items reappear.
- Intrusive Roast Me UI that auto-pops up and disrupts use.
- Account merge issues and weak support for resolving cross-service transfers.
