MusicHarbor for Android

I really like this app, compared to Spotify’s notifications of new releases (i.e The Bell). The only issue though, is that under the bell icon in Spotify, new singles from new albums appear regularly. However, on Music Harbor, if the new single is not released as a “standalone” single and instead just unlocked from the new album, then for some reason it does not appear in the new releases. So therefore I will miss the release of the song because of that, if I don’t check Spotify also (which I’d like to not have to do because I prefer Google Music). An example would be, Lorna Shore has a new album coming in October. They released another single yesterday. It showed up under Spotify’s bell notification, but in the music harbor app, it did not show anything was released from them, so I would have never known.

Must be ran by a record label because on the outside it’s everything you’ve dreamt of but just before you sign the dotted line they let you know the app is indeed $6. WHO CARES IF YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE APP FOR FREE IF IT COSTS MONEY AFTER YOU DOWNLOAD IT? $6 won’t break anyone but I really don’t like financial surprises of any sort because it tells you exactly who you’re dealing with. I would have purchased this had it been made clear it was $6 up front.

This app does not seem to do anything. I cannot import artists from Spotify or Google Music.

Have you ever come across an artist on Google Music and you wanted to follow them to get all their releases? Then you realize that Google Music doesn’t have that feature? Well this is the app for you! MusicHarbor gives you all the social things that Google Music doesn’t currently have. You can follow artists, you can follow labels (if you upgrade the app) and you can add them to your playlists in Google Music. I love it and think it’s great, so much so that I actually paid the upgrade to the pro version because I want to support this developer and the app. Five stars all across the way and I highly suggest that you get this app as soon as possible!

The free version is great and the paid upgrades are worth it for the extra control. This is a nice application to make sure you stay up to date with releases from your favorite artists. There are a few very minor updates that I would like to see, like some more inteligent categorization of live albums, or automatic hiding of duplicate albums that only difffer by letter casing, but this is way better than relying on Spotify or Google Music to let me know when new music has been released.
