crabhands: new music releases

crabhands

About this app

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.

Ratings and reviews

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

Re-review: I'm changing my highest praise 5★ review to a tentative 2★s. Like last.fm before it… so goes Crabhands, It seems. I suppose I expected it - I just didn't want to think it would happen. So, it looks like CRABHANDS may be repeating the online success-model path that dooms great apps and is requiring a new account signup/redownload etc. to move users to the PAY ONLY site. The old app, we're told, is usable until NOV, but it's already failed to functionn on my PC & on all of devices.

AN absolutely incredible app to use in order to track new releases from artists you like. It connects using Spotify, and updates you on the releases based on that. DO NOT use Facebook to sign into Spotify in this app. It leaves you unable to log in and get your updates at all. Otherwise; I've used this app for about half a decade if not longer, and haven't come across any other issues. Good stuff.
