PlayTally lets users explore their Apple Music History, Stats and Trends - Published on 09/22/20

Indie developer, Mike Clay announces the pre-release of PlayTally, a new app that allows users to dive deeper into their Apple Music statistics and create customized Replay-style playlists of their top songs. PlayTally creates its own time-stamped playback records using the new background tasks API introduced in iOS 13. Users can view their listening history, focus on specific dates, see recent activity for songs or artists, and create playlists. It is expected to be released October 15, 2020.

Toronto, Ontario - Independent developer, Mike Clay announced today the pre-release of PlayTally, a new app that allows users to dive deeper into their Apple Music statistics and create customized Replay-style playlists of their top songs. It is his second Apple Music expansion pack, following popular smart playlist generator Miximum.

Unlike competitive apps that simply display library information, PlayTally creates its own time-stamped playback records (similar to a last.fm scrobble) using the new background tasks API introduced in iOS 13. Users can view their listening history, focus on specific dates, see recent activity for songs or artists, and create playlists.

As more playback data is collected, PlayTally analyzes it to create dynamic playlists of the users top songs, much like Apple's Replay playlist. Unlike Replay however, which consists of the users top songs year-to-date, PlayTally's PlayBack lists can be calculated for any date range, allowing users to see their top songs of the summer, past week or all time. PlayBack lists are also calculated dynamically, so there is no waiting for weekly updates from Apple.

Developer Mike Clay says an early beta tester summed it up best. "They asked me, 'so is this basically like an integrated last.fm for my Apple Music?' And that's exactly what it's like. I wanted to provide that sort of tracking without having to have an account and share that data with a company. With PlayTally, that data never leaves the users device and/or personal iCloud storage."

The app also adds a bit of fun with listening awards heavily inspired by Apple Watch fitness challenges. As users continue to use Apple Music they unlock badges for number of songs and time listened, adding and loving songs in their library, or by listening on specific dates. There's also a daily listening "personal best" to try to beat.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 13.0 or later
* 13.6 MB

Pricing and Availability:
PlayTally is now available for pre-order and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Music category. It is expected to be released October 15, 2020. For more information, contact Mike Clay.
