Features

New playback controls and progress bar design!

Bug fixes

Fixed some memory leaks

Scrobble count on profile tab now updated correctly (unless you scrobble elsewhere)

Do not display corrections in the client (it wasn't respecting the website setting and was causing a few issues)

'Similar Artist' header in the track metadata view is now a link to more similar artists on the site

There is now a warning/explanation in the iPod scrobble confirmation dialog when you have red/invalid iPod scrobbles

Now shows the correct modifier keys on Windows for the raise/hide Scrobbler option

Mute now works from the system tray and menu option

The last page of the wizard now doesn't say we've imported your listening history, if we haven't

Fixed an issue where the tray icon would be invisible if the first run wizard tour was skipped

Less logging (there was an issue with log file sizes getting very big)

User Reviews of Last.fm:

It actually tracks the songs really well now, used to be a nightmare a few years ago cause I had to reopen the app every few hours and even then it would sometimes stop tracking... Now I just check that it's working once or twice a day, and usually it's working fine! Some songs are being put under ridiculous artist names tho... For example my favorite Doja Cat song is "Doja Cat & The Weeknd" in last.fm, that's kind of annoying.

User for 20+ years of the website. Definitely the best platform to track your music plays. Don't take the 1 star reviews seriously, they're from people who were using scripts to inflate the stats of their fav artist. They got rate limited and got mad (poor kidz) Thanks last.fm!

Five years later in back to say absolutely love the update giving us quick access to the listening reports. Nice fancy graphs and nuggets of info. It's great to use. That prob 5yr ago obviously sorted itself in the end. Big increase in stars now. App not letting me sign in. I know my details are correct because ive signed in on other devices to check. Please sort this out asap. I am a longtime last fm user.

I was enjoying this app. But now everytime I try to open it up it crashes, and it has been like that for a few months now. Going to keep the app in case it gets an update and is fixed. Either than that app is cool and I recommend it. Also just an easy way to view some quick stats when on your phone and not at your computer. *Update* I gave it one last go at deleting and re-downloading the app. It worked this time. Rating is now 5 stars.
