Features & Capabilities

Albums is the Apple Music player that puts you in control of your music. Whether you want a quick shuffle or meticulous sorting, it treats your library with care. Use Quick Selection to shuffle, browse a grid of album art, or pick an album and move through tracks with album-focused controls. Enjoy Now Playing, Collection, and Quick Collection widgets, CarPlay support, and iCloud sync so you can pick up where you left off on any device. You can also add album notes and rely on strong Siri interactions and App Intents for accessibility.

Premium Tools for Power Users include Substantial Stats with weekly, monthly, and yearly reports and customizable charts; Last.fm compatibility to scrobble in real time or import history; and deep customization through Insight Collections, color theming, and personal collections. See richer discovery with production credits from MusicBrainz and Discogs, and explore related labels and producers. Note: Premium features require Albums Premium. The app can optionally integrate with Apple Health to create Workout Jams by matching listening history to exercise data—enable this in the Insights tab.

User Reviews

Reviewers consistently praise Albums for its album-first playback, powerful library organization, and rich discovery features (insights, This Day in History, Last.fm). Many cite its polished UI, widgets, and cross-device use, and note the developer's ongoing improvements. Common drawbacks include data accuracy problems with metadata (MusicBrainz/Discogs) and hard-to-fix album art, the inability to import local files directly (requiring Apple Music library), a paywall that hides many features, and iPadOS-specific issues such as Stage Manager resizing and limited fullscreen artwork. Overall, a strong tool for serious album listeners with some platform and data issues.

Pros

Album-centric playback that helps rediscover favorites.
Rich feature set and customization (credits, Last.fm, insights, age-based playlists, auto-download credits).
Strong library organization and cross-device catalog management.
Visually pleasing UI with useful widgets and cross-device support.
Active, responsive developer with ongoing improvements.

Cons

Metadata accuracy issues and difficulty correcting data (wrong release years, incorrect album art; MusicBrainz/Discogs data).
Inability to import local files directly; relies on Apple Music library rather than direct file import.
Paywall hides many features, limiting functionality for non-lifetime users.
iPadOS-specific issues (Stage Manager resizing bug; lack of full-screen album art; some UI/settings friction on iPad).

Recent reviews

Since adding this I’ve found it to be the perfect tool for my music listening habits. It’s super user friendly and being able to shuffle my Apple Music library by album is exactly what I have been looking for forever. My one wish is that I could set it up to play random albums after listening to an album of my own selection other than just having the music cease. Also, while it’s not necessary but it would be cool for nerd like me to have an option to post their listening list’s to their Instagram stories. Other than those small things this app is pretty perfect.

This is almost perfect, I love the insights and notes in the app. My only wish is that I can make a “Slow” Collection. Basically a collection built up manually; album by album hand selected rather than filtered. If you can mix in playlists that’d be cool too. But please, please let me hand select albums for a collection! Edit: The developer informed me that Tags works perfectly for this. I’ve also realized that regular (Apple Music) playlists can play whole albums too; which is super useful for other people’s playlists.
