AlbumLove

We love albums & vinyl!

$1.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Your albums, your musical friends and the best music press in one place. Discover records via OOR, Pitchfork (and so many more), friends, and share what you're spinning. Albums deserve better than a playlist. AlbumLove is the equivalent of the record player at your home. Spin the black circle right on your phone. Hold and manage your beloved albums in one place, listen to new albums as you wish, and share them with your friends. Your trusted music sources on the web help you listen to music that is within your taste. SPIN: WHAT ARE YOU PUTTING ON? Open the app and there it is: a pile of sleeves, chosen for you. Throw the top one to an edge: Hit, Grower, Not for me or Not yet. No stars, no scores, just an honest answer. Tap a sleeve to see why it's there. Not sure what to play? "From the Old Box" digs up a forgotten favourite from your own collection. CATCH EVERY TIP, WHEREVER YOU HEAR IT A friend mentions a record, you spot a sleeve in a shop, a song plays in a café. Catch it in seconds: - Share a link, review or message from any app straight into AlbumLove - Snap a photo of a sleeve and AlbumLove finds the album - Let AlbumLove listen and recognise what's playing - Or just ask Siri, without even opening the app Everything you catch waits in Unspun until you have a night with time to listen. Records that aren't out yet are tried again automatically. ON REPEAT: YOUR TASTE, SORTING ITSELF Every record you keep lands on a wall of covers, warmest first. Play it and it heats up; leave it alone and it slowly fades. A few quick "which one grabs you more?" duels settle the order, so you never have to rank anything by hand. Add your birth year and see which decades shaped your taste. FRIENDS WHO GET YOU See what your friends are spinning and share your own finds in the feed. AlbumLove quietly learns whose taste is close to yours and whose tips work for you. Only the records you love get shared; what you pass on stays private. INSPIRED BY THE BEST MUSIC PRESS Follow the sources you trust, like OOR, Pitchfork, Stereogum and Krenten uit de Pop. Browse their reviews, best-of lists and year lists, including OOR's monthly First Eleven, and choose how often new picks reach your feed: right away, daily, weekly or monthly. Extra source bundles are available in the app. LISTEN RIGHT AWAY Play any album with Apple Music without leaving the app. A mini player stays at hand while the full player takes on the colours of the cover. MADE FOR COVER ART Big, full-bleed artwork everywhere, colours drawn from the sleeve itself, and notifications that put the cover first. SHARE IT WITH THE WORLD Turn an album or a whole list into a beautiful share card for Instagram, TikTok or X, with or without a moving cover. YOUR COLLECTION, YOUR LISTS Keep your favourite albums together and build your own year lists and themed lists. AlbumLove. For people who still listen to albums from start to finish.

Found for you Every Thursday, AlbumLove now picks a handful of new albums you might otherwise miss. It looks for records that critics and your friends are paying attention to, and that sit close to the music you already love. Each suggestion tells you why it was chosen: the album of yours it sits next to, the styles they share, and who wrote about it, with a link to the review. Tap + to catch it, or press and hold to say "Not for me". You choose how many you get each week (3 to 12, or off). There are no badges and no notifications, and the set isn't topped up during the week: it stays a tip, not a feed. A new Catch screen Catch now opens on this week's Found for you, shown as large sleeves you can flip through like a record crate. Below it, Unspun appears as a fanned stack of what's waiting for you. Who tipped you? "Where did you hear it?" no longer sits above the search field. Instead, after you catch an album, you can say who tipped you, with your friends shown first. Weeks later, when the record comes round in Spin, the card will say "Tom tipped this on 14 October". More reliable syncing Fixed an issue where verdicts, catches and plays could stop syncing to your account. Everything that was waiting on your phone has been sent. Settings Choose how many Found for you albums you get under Settings → Spin.
