Your streak steps out of hiding. • Your listening streak now lives at the top of the Today screen. Ember when today's album is already in motion, quiet gray when the chain is waiting on you. Listening keeps it alive, not just rating, and an unfinished today never breaks it. • Logged an album by mistake? Open any entry in your History and remove it. The rating and its note go for good, and Drop still remembers never to serve you that album, so cleaning up a slip can't cause a repeat. • Searching in "Log albums you know" got much sharper. Some records hide from the album search entirely, so Drop now reads the song results as evidence: when the tracks agree on an album, that album jumps to the top of the list. If you ever hunted for an album you know is real and got everything but it, that's fixed. The remove button came straight from the feedback form, days after the logging feature shipped. That's the loop working. Keep the reports coming. One album a day. Still private, still yours. Thanks for listening.

You had a whole listening life before Drop. Now you can tell it so. • Log albums you know: in your profile, search any album you've already heard and log it. Drop will never serve it as a drop, and if you rate it while you're there, a 4 or better starts steering tomorrow's picks immediately. New users especially: a few minutes of logging teaches Drop your taste faster than weeks of daily ratings. • On Spotify? Your profile now points you somewhere useful. Instead of forever asking you to connect Apple Music, the header invites you to bring your Spotify listening in, which is the thing that actually sharpens your picks. • Clearer import messages: when a stats.fm lookup can't find you, Drop now tells you exactly what's wrong, whether the username doesn't exist yet or the account is brand new and still pulling in your plays. The album log came straight from the feedback form: "I've gotten 2 albums I've listened to already." Not anymore. Keep the reports coming. One album a day. Still private, still yours. Thanks for listening.

One album a day means one. Never twice. • Fixed: a few of you were served an album you'd already rated. Under the hood, the same record can carry two different catalog IDs depending on how Drop found it, and the "never repeat" check compared them too literally. It now recognizes an album across every identity it might wear, and your rated and skipped albums are also matched by name, so even a re-issue with a brand new ID stays out. • Small bonus from the same fix: "Give it another chance" on a skipped album now works reliably in the rare case where the fix above would have left it stuck. Reported by a reader two weeks into their streak. Keep the reports coming, they make the app better for everyone. One album a day. Still private, still yours. Thanks for listening.

You can't listen to an album that isn't out yet. Drop knows that now. • The daily drop now checks the release date. A few of you were handed albums that don't come out until fall, which made for an impossible day. If it isn't out, it can't be your drop. • Artists with only a pre-order to their name now say "Nothing new out yet" instead of claiming you've heard their whole catalog. Thanks to the reader who reported this with the exact album and release date. That's a perfect bug report. One album a day. Still private, still yours. Thanks for listening.

Life happens. Now the album survives it. • Rate it late: a drop you opened but never got around to rating no longer vanishes at midnight. It waits in your profile, and rating it there counts fully: your journal, your milestones, and what Drop learns about your taste. • Days you never got to stopped costing you albums. A drop you never even revealed quietly returns to the pool for another day instead of being spent unseen. • Rating with VoiceOver in the new list works the way it should: adjust the stars, then save. The first swipe no longer commits half a star. This one came straight from the feedback form. Keep it coming. One album a day. Still private, still yours. Thanks for listening.

The picks got smarter, and two rough edges are gone. • Drop now learns from what you rate, not just the artists you name. Give an album four stars or more and it becomes a starting point: Drop goes looking for records close to that record, and the card tells you which album earned the pick. • Better neighbours. Finding music through the record you loved instead of through its artist turns up real contemporaries, not the same few names that always sit beside that artist. • "Open in Spotify" now opens the album. No more landing on a search page and hunting for the record yourself. • Import fix: if you typed your display name or pasted a Spotify link, Drop now tells you exactly what it needs instead of just saying it could not find you. One album a day. Still private, still yours. Thanks for listening.

You can already tell Drop a genre you want to get into. Now you can name an artist. • Getting into an artist: pick someone you've been meaning to explore, and Drop walks their catalog most-loved-first, one record at a time, until you've been through it. Then it hands them to your favorites. • It lives right beside your explore genres. Free, up to three at once with Drop+. • A quiet moment when you finish a catalog, because getting through a whole artist is worth marking. One album a day. Still private, still yours. Thanks for listening.

A polish pass, start to finish. • Your profile got a full reorganization. What Drop knows about you sits together at the top, the levers that shape your drops share one card, and the whole page is a third shorter. • Preferences grew up: where albums open and your daily reminder now share one tidy card, and the reminder time is a proper button that unfolds a picker in place. • Skipped albums are now real cards with a real "Give it another chance" button. • A round of copy cleanup across the app. Same voice, cleaner sentences. One album a day. Still private, still yours. Thanks for listening.

This one is mostly built from your feedback forms. Keep them coming. • Milestones: your journal counts toward something now. Cross 10, 25, 50, 100 albums and Drop marks the moment. Your next target sits quietly at the top of History. • Skipped albums: everything you passed on now lives in your profile, each with a "Give it another chance" button. Tastes change. • Named a favorite artist? Drop now picks from the world around them, never their own records. You know those already. • Greatest hits collections are out of the pool for good. One album a day means a real album. • Blocking an artist now covers their collaboration records too. One album a day. Still private, still yours. Thanks for listening.

The number one request since launch: bring your Spotify taste into Drop. • On Spotify? Set up a free stats.fm account, tell Drop your username, and your top artists become the taste your drops are picked from. About two minutes, right from onboarding or your profile. • Drop reads your top artists once and thinks for itself from there. Everything stays on your device, and the username is used for the lookup and forgotten. • Half stars were always there; now a small hint under the stars says so. • Journal fixes: a couple of rare cases where "I know this" could touch the wrong entry are gone for good. One album a day. Still private, still yours. Thanks for listening.

Your first week just got better. Drop now makes sure your early picks show real range, so a narrow starting taste does not mean the same corner of music every day. And no matter how long you have been here: never the same artist twice in a week, never the same genre three days running. New for Drop+: block any artist for good. Search from your profile, or block one right after passing on a drop. Also in this update: a warmer welcome for new listeners and polish throughout. One album, chosen for you, every day.

Small fixes and polish. One album, chosen for you, every day.

A couple of nice touches. • Drop+ is easier to find now, and clearer about what it gives you. • New: you can send me feature suggestions right from the app. It's just me making Drop, and I read every one. • Polish and fixes throughout. One album, chosen for you, every day.

What's New (1.0.6) A drop that never stops — and a promise kept. • Fixed: Drop+ Lifetime purchases are now recognized properly, including past ones. If you bought Lifetime and the app kept asking you to upgrade anyway, this update makes it right automatically — no action needed. Sorry about that, and thank you to the member who caught it. • Drop+ Lifetime is now available: everything in Drop+, one purchase, forever. • A new loading animation. Watch closely — the splash of today's album rises to become tomorrow's drop. One drop, one pool, no seam. • Polish and stability throughout. One album, chosen for you, every day.

What's New (version 1.0.5) Keeping up with your daily album just got easier. • Daily reminders are now on by default — you'll get a nudge when each day's drop is ready. Pick your time, or turn them off, anytime in Profile. • A gentler first day: after your first rating, Drop offers a reminder for tomorrow instead of interrupting the moment. • Fixed a first-launch glitch where today's album could briefly change before you revealed it, plus the occasional flash while loading. • Polish and stability throughout. One album, chosen for you, every day.

A round of polish for the daily ritual. • Your drops color the room now — as you reveal the album, the screen takes on a soft glow drawn from its cover. • Tilt your phone and the cover catches the light, like a record in your hands. • Rate straight from your lock screen — a gentle nudge as the album's wrapping up means your verdict is always one tap away. • A cleaner, more personal profile, with a greeting to match the time of day. • Built for everyone: VoiceOver support across the app, text that scales to any size, and clearer contrast throughout. • A fresh take on the moment your next drop is loading — plus a lighter, smoother feel everywhere. One album a day. Still private, still yours. Thanks for listening.

Smoother daily reveal, faster everywhere, fewer rough edges. Same deal: one album a day, you don't get to pick it.

This one's about letting everyone sit with the record. • VoiceOver, all the way through — every album, rating, and screen now reads aloud, and you can set your half-star rating with a single swipe. • Text that scales with you — turn up your text size and the whole app reflows to match, from the daily drop to your journal. Nothing gets clipped. • Lighter and calmer — the drop and your journal load smoother, with less working away in the background. • A little more glass — on iOS 26, the drop's surface picks up Apple's new Liquid Glass as it ripples open. • Plus a pass of polish: clearer labels, bigger tap targets, and small fixes throughout. One album a day. Still private, still yours. Thanks for listening.

Welcome to DROP — your first album lands today. One record a day, chosen for your taste. Tap to reveal it, listen all the way through, then rate it to sharpen tomorrow's pick. Everything you rate becomes a private journal that's yours alone. One thing worth knowing: once you've opened a drop, it waits for your verdict before the next one arrives. One album at a time — the way records were meant to be heard. This is version one. If something feels off, we're listening.
