Spotify is responsible for launching a tool every Christmas. A tool that allows users to analyze the use they have made of their platform and elaborate graphs and statistics of which their songs and artists have been most listened to that year, as well as offering you a playlist with music that you probably like.
However, Apple Music subscribers cannot access this summary because Apple did not create the tool. Thanks to Alex Santarelli, a developer, Apple Music subscribers will be able to access part of the 2018 summary thanks to a new app called Music Year in Review.
Relive your year on Apple Music with Music Year in Review
This kind of tools unofficial They have a limitation which is the non-endorsement of the results. However, it is a beginning to put pressure on Apple Music to launch a tool that allows us to summarize the year in songs, artists and number of minutes we have spent listening to music.
Alex Santarelli posted Music Year in Review under the name of his startup called ilnnovate. The application requires iOS 11 or higher And, although it is a very young app, the results it offers are good, but quite limited. It is a free app, and can only be used by Apple Music subscribers. That is, you must have an active subscription at the time we agree to make the summary of the year.
Once we log in to the app, it will capture the data and launch us three results: the number of minutes we have spent listening to music, the Top 5 of both artists and songs, and the most listened to genres. The developer ensures that do not store any personal data, rather, they only store the data obtained from minutes, artists and songs to create, according to them, a musical demographic map in Apple Music.
In this application, we do not share your data, nor do we sell your data or allow third parties to access your data at all. They are kept completely internal and will be used for our own applications. The only data we keep is your email, the top five artists, the top five songs, and the main genre. This is not used for advertising of any kind. It's just so we can create a general music demographic of Apple Music listeners.
