Now Boarding: TuneTransit v1.9 - Spotify Upgrades, Search Improvements, UI Refinements, and Bug Fixes! Since our Aurora upgrade last month, we have been hard at work in making the TuneTransit experience even better for our riders. Beyond that however, we are also making upgrades to our infrastructure that will allow TuneTransit to continue operating at full capacity well into the future. In order to continue providing an optimal experience for all of our supported platforms, we knew that we had to be creative in how we work behind the scenes to ensure the same experience you know and love, but with improvements all around. In this update, we have notably upgraded our Spotify search engine to be more resilient, accurate, and in some cases faster than our previous releases! As Spotify continues to modernize their platform, this new engine allows us to continue supporting their platform in the near term while also ensuring compatibility with future releases on both sides. NOTE: With this change, all TuneTransit users will need to be on Version 1.9 by March 9th to ensure continued compatibility with Spotify searches -- so be sure to get this one installed ASAP! Of course, we also have made notable improvements across the TuneTransit experience such as improvements to our search engine, refinements to our Aurora UI, and bug fixes across the board. So without further ado... let's get started! This update contains the following new features, bug fixes, and improvements: New Features: - Introducing our new Spotify engine! This upgrade delivers accuracy and resiliency for Spotify searches across the board, all while maintaining the same TuneTransit experience. As stated before, support for Spotify searches on previous TuneTransit versions will be deprecated in early March, so make sure to update as soon as possible! Improvements: - Loading bubbles have been added to the Search Results screen to indicate the progress of searches in TuneTransit. - Users now have the ability to exit a search that is still in progress. - Searches will now prefer results that are not in compilation albums, meaning that TuneTransit now maintains the album/EP/single release that the artist intended. - Searches will now run on multiple platforms for tracks/albums from Apple Music simultaneously to get results faster. - UI improvements have been made across the board to improve tab animations and transitions. - The tutorial for adding your Last.fm username has been modified to make directions clearer, notably when completing the steps provided. Bug Fixes: - We fixed a bug where TuneTransit would not repair album artwork on the Search Results screen. - We fixed a bug where TuneTransit would sometimes show an additional selection screen when searching a track/album. - We fixed a bug where TuneTransit would not persist corrected album artwork in the cache, resulting in missing/incorrect artwork in certain situations. - We fixed a bug where TuneTransit would sometimes choose incorrect album artwork in the 'Jump Back In' section on the Search Tab. - We fixed a bug where TuneTransit would sometimes duplicate searches in the 'Jump Back In' section on the Search Tab. - We fixed a bug where TuneTransit would sometimes crash when selecting a Recently Played track on the Search Tab. - We fixed a bug where TuneTransit would sometimes post the same Apple Music track to the Station Feed twice when the app is open. - We fixed a bug where TuneTransit would sometimes miss posting an Apple Music track to the Station Feed when the app is open. - We fixed a bug where the navigation bar on iPhone would still sometimes lag when switching tabs. - We fixed a bug where the Close button was truncated on iPhone for certain views in TuneTransit. As always, thank you for using TuneTransit and we look forward to continuing to deliver a seamless music sharing experience!

Introducing TuneTransit v1.8.5: Vision Pro Support, Stability Upgrades, and Bug Fixes! As 2026 continues, we strive to continue delivering an optimal experience for all of our riders, no matter if they have been with us since Day 1 or have just joined us yesterday. Of course, this means that we also want to bring TuneTransit to new devices and form factors to meet you where you are at. In this update, we are thrilled to announce that we are adding another device to the TuneTransit compatibility list - Vision Pro! While some may say that we could have introduced this when we launched, we wanted to take the time to make the experience on Vision Pro feel seamless and compliment the beauty of visionOS. This means that TuneTransit runs natively and delivers a familiar but new experience on our Aurora platform, and we can't wait for you to try it out. Of course, for all TuneTransit users, Version 1.8.5 also includes several stability upgrades and bug fixes that continue to improve the user experience since our last major update arrived last month -- so be sure to install this one as soon as possible! This update contains the following new features, bug fixes, and improvements: New Features: - TuneTransit is now on Vision Pro! Along with bringing over the same functionality you would expect from our main app, this version introduces a special feature called TuneVerse.

Try it out today! Improvements: - Several stability upgrades have been made across the board, which should result in a better experience overall (performance, album artwork loading, feed syncing, etc.). - Several visual improvements have been made across TuneTransit to improve our Aurora design and better support smaller devices. Bug Fixes: - We fixed several bugs across TuneTransit that resulted in possible stability and performance issues. - We fixed several bugs where TuneTransit Station would be too aggressive in syncing with our backend for listening activity, resulting in app lag in certain situations. - We fixed several bugs where album artwork would not retrieve properly for Apple Music users on all TuneTransit tabs. - We fixed a bug where a glitched loading screen would appear when searching a song from our Now Playing screen and/or from our Recently Played section on the Search tab. - We fixed a bug where the transition animation for switching between tabs on iPhone would lag in certain situations. - We fixed a bug where the What's New screens for Version 1.8 would not appear properly on smaller iPad devices. - We fixed a bug where our new TuneTransit app screenshots for iPhone would sometimes appear on the App Store incorrectly.

Boarding Now: TuneTransit v1.8.2 - Bug fixes and improvements! Our major update released last week was a huge change for our TuneTransit riders! Aurora signifies the path ahead for our design, but through it all, we also want to make sure that the TuneTransit experience is as stable and memorable as it has always been. Version 1.8.2 continues that mission with a handful of bug fixes and improvements recommended for all TuneTransit users. Of course... we want to make sure that we still have some new surprises in store as well! With that in mind, this update contains the following bug fixes and improvements: Improvements: - We have added a new double tap action to our Search tab icon on iPhone! By double tapping the Search icon after a search has completed, this will immediately route you back to the main Search page to kick off your next search. This improvement was inspired by our power users, so be sure to check it out to make your searching experience that much faster! - We have upgraded the design of our Smart Links to match our new Aurora redesign! Any smart links that are generated will now have a modified design with subtle improvements and styling reminiscent of the main app. - We have refactored our TuneTransit backend logic to deliver improved stability and performance across the TuneTransit experience.

Boarding Now: TuneTransit v1.6 - Major Performance Upgrades, iPad Redesign, Messages Revamp, and more! The holidays are just around the corner, and as part of our end of year goals, we wanted to do everything we can to improve our rider experience. In the last few updates, we've cleaned our stations and polished the TuneTransit rails... but while we like doing what we can in the moment, we also strive to make even more impactful upgrades on the ride as well. Think of this update as maintaining the experience you know and love, but making it extremely more smooth and efficient! For our latest major update, our focus was about enhancing and improving the app that we have built through all of its iterations since this summer.

Now Boarding: TuneTransit v1.5.2 - Bug fixes and improvements! When we release these sorts of updates, we stop and think to ourselves... what does a bug fix truly mean? Is it spraying the TuneTransit stations with bug spray? Is it fixing our train cars for a better rider experience? Maybe it means we need to write a 500 word response on the importance of fixing bugs.... This update serves primarily as a bug fix and improvement update for our users that utilize YouTube Music and Tidal. As we have been working on our next major update, we have identified some improvements that could be made in our overall engine -- so we figured, why wait? This update contains the following bug fixes and improvements: Improvements: - For tracks that do not exist on YouTube Music but have 'Official Audio' on YouTube, we have provided those results labeled separately in our Find Music results. (This result will not carry over to generating a smart link as it is not an official YouTube Music track) - We have refactored our code for YouTube Music and Tidal searches to produce results that are more accurate in less time than previous versions.

Now Boarding: TuneTransit v1.5.1 - Stability improvements and bug fixes! When we release these sorts of updates, we stop and think to ourselves... what does stability truly mean?

All that to say, this is an update with a ton of stability improvements and bug fixes! Due to the amount of bug fixes and improvements that we made in this update, we could not miss our opportunity to monologue and make your day that much brighter.

Now Boarding: TuneTransit v1.5 - Introducing Music Feed, Redesigned Widgets, and a performance upgrade! With this update, we knew that we needed to ramp up efficiency, improve performance, and deliver features that make TuneTransit different than its competitors. This app was designed to optimize and empower users to share music in the moment, and with this release, we wanted to take that experience to the next level. By releasing our new Music Feed, redesigning our widgets to make searches much faster, and improving the overall experience of our core engine through performance upgrades, TuneTransit levels up in a big way!(And yes, it even skips Version 1.4 in the process) This update contains the following new features, bug fixes, and improvements: New Features: - TuneTransit has a new tab.... and it's called the Music Feed! While it clearly needs a better name [that we are workshopping as we speak], we created a new experience that allows you to add your friends and view the music that they have been listening to, regardless of where they listen. This feature is right off the production line, so please provide any feedback and expect continued improvements past this initial release! (Available for TuneTransit Premium users on Apple Music, Spotify, and Tidal) - TuneTransit Widgets aren't just looking a bit different... they are re-engineered from the inside out!

Bug Fixes: - We fixed a bug where there was no Tidal result for some tracks due to fallback searches not taking place for Tidal. - We fixed a bug where YouTube Music searches for tracks with more than one artist would not return an acceptable result. - We fixed a rare situation where our TuneTransit AI engine would not initialize for Tidal searches and create poor search results. - The TuneTransit widget now tracks Apple Music better than it did before with improved quality and status checks. - The Last.fm setup screen has been modified to include a Connect button to prevent connection attempts before the full username is entered. - Several other bug fixes were made across the app and backend to improve the app experience. Additionally, due to unavailability of API solutions for all supported platforms, this version removes the TuneTransit Playlists feature for the time being. As always, thank you for using TuneTransit and we look forward to continuing to deliver a seamless music sharing experience!

This update is jam-packed with these new features, improvements, and bug fixes: New Features: - Introducing Smart Links!

These exports also come with QR codes that navigate to the TuneTransit share links also introduced in this update. (Available for TuneTransit Premium users) - Introducing Last.fm support! With this support, all TuneTransit users can now accurately sync their currently playing song on Spotify to TuneTransit.

Introducing TuneTransit v1.1 - the first major update to TuneTransit! Since releasing TuneTransit last month, we've been hard at work on how to improve your experience and make TuneTransit your first choice for sharing music with your friends, whether it's in the moment or after you've had a chance to listen to the latest hits. This update contains these new features, improvements, and bug fixes: - New Feature: TuneTransit now uses AI! This AI functionality exists entirely behind the scenes, but it has allowed for even more accuracy when it comes to matching songs, albums, and even YouTube videos. Confidence is key with TuneTransit, and this feature helps ensure that in your musical adventures. - New Feature: Manual searches are now possible in TuneTransit! This new functionality on the Transfer tab allows you to manually enter the song title that you're looking for (along with the artist if desired) to allow TuneTransit to search for the music that you'd like to share/transfer. With manual searches, we believe that our users will be more empowered to share in the moment, even if they don't have a link to the song themselves yet. - Improvement: Sharing in TuneTransit has been optimized with direct sharing icons for each streaming platform, allowing you to get to sharing with your friends that much faster. - Bug Fix: Songs from F1 The Movie are now found by successfully utilizing AI and an improved fallback search. - Bug Fix: Songs that do not have an Apple Music or Spotify link will not display as being able to be shared on the Transfer and Saved tabs. - Bug Fix: TuneTransit can now properly regionally parse Spotify links from other countries to improve global compatibility. As always, thank you for using TuneTransit and we look forward to continuing to deliver a seamless music sharing experience!
