App summary

Analyze keywords

Let us track your favourite artists and send you notification alerts when they release new music on Spotify, or when we discover any upcoming releases for them!

To set up a new account, just hit the Sign Up button, follow the instructions and then login to your Spotify account. We will scan for the artists that you follow. A list of the latest new releases will then be available in the app. If we find any upcoming releases for them we will also display these in the app.

If you've enabled push notifications then we'll notify you when we find new and upcoming releases for your artists.

New music releases are by default added to a playlist which we create within your Spotify account so that you have one easy place to listen to new music. You can change this option at any time from the Settings screen.

We sync the artists you follow on Spotify before we check for new releases, so if you have followed new artists then they'll get included when we scan for new releases.

Please note: you cannot listen to the releases within the app - you do this within Spotify as usual.

Was a fantastic app however hey made this app reliant on a subscription without properly explaining this to existing users instead it came across as them palming it off saying your trial has ended, despite there never being a subscription before. This really is a great app, and with recent communications from the app dev, he seems like a sound guy - this change was very just poorly communicated. The sub is pretty well priced, still considering trying it out.

They changed their model from before. Historically, I had crabhands adding to a Spotify playlist with the artists I followed. Now, I require a subscription to have the app do that. I will immediately be searching for a competitor who will do the same without a subscription, and I will not be reconsidering crabhands unless they backtrack on this new model.

New UI looks nice, very clean. Upcoming releases works! App is no longer free, cheap tho. Bugs and errors from the update have been fixed really quickly, good job devs! Love this app The feature to remove releases, after some time, from your crabhands Spotify playlist does not work. Only problem now
