Description
Albums lets you collect and add your favourite music albums as widgets to your home screen, acting as fast shortcuts to listen to them on your preferred music streaming service.
This app aims to bring back some of the feel of collecting and playing vinyl records. No longer are you going through the rounds of opening an app, searching for an artist, fighting network connections, finding the album, picking a song to start… etc., just tap them on your home screen, play, and enjoy!
- Search for and collect your favourite albums.
- Customize your album widgets with many different styles, colours, and settings.
- Display them all as a digital collection and celebrate the artwork that makes so many records timeless classics.

Ratings and Reviews
If Apple won’t add pinning to Apple Music…
…I guess pinning albums to my home screen is the next best thing. Hoping this makes it easier to find my favorite albums, which have a tendency to get buried in my library whenever I add new things I want to listen to. App seems well designed and seems to perform really well.
Playlist pinning feature is buggy
So far, I have only been successful in putting one playlist as a widget in iOS 17.4.1. I can import others via the share button in the playlist, but when I try to put a playlist on the home screen as a widget, the widget comes up blank and tapping on it just takes me to the Albums app. It does look like playlists show up in the random widget, but I’d like to be able to have specific playlists selectable from the home screen. I’ve had this app for a while and really enjoyed having individual albums out there, but I’d much rather have playlists.
Great app for lack of album section in AM
Apple Music really needs a dedicated section for full albums vs albums where you pulled a single from…
This app fixes that and has a cool widget too! Love it
