It was an update but it’s actually a downgrade. To add the latest “great” feature, Follow Labels, Concerts has been removed. Who follows entire Labels? That’s completely useless! And now to find a concert you have to select artists, then select an artist, then select the menu, then select Search Events! Which then takes you to the Songkick website! And then it only shows you events for that artist! So if you want to see concerts near you, you have to then enter the city or cities you want to search? That’s a huge amount of effort compared to the old PAID way where the app used your location and showed you events for multiple cities within selected miles from you. So Concerts is useless now and that purchase was a waste of money! You might as well just download the Songkick app and save yourself a bunch of steps! This app just lost half its useful functionality and half its value. 2 stars because the Releases feature still works well.
The Concerts feature had to be removed because Songkick changed some policies regarding the number of requests I can make to the API. Because of this change, further integration with Songkick will not be possible.To try to make up for the functionality that was lost, users that had purchased the Filter Concerts feature will now have free access to following record labels. Although it's a completely different functionality, some users might find value in it.Following record labels was one of the most requested feature I had in my backlog so, although you may not find it very useful, lots of other users think differently. So I'm glad I was able to finally implement it.
