That’s right. I’ve decided to make the app free for the time being. The plan is to add some super awesome paid features in upcoming releases, but the core functionality of Listenr will remain available pro bono. Much thanks to everyone who supported me by purchasing the app over the last few months. Now on to the new features:
The two big ones this time are Last.fm Scrobbling and Search. Also, all avatars and post metadata is stored locally on your phone, so this should result in a snappier experience.
To enable Last.fm scrobbling, just head on over to the Settings App, and under Listenr, flip the switch to ON. The next time you open the app, you’ll be asked once for your credentials. Rest assured, Listenr never stores your Last.fm password.
Enjoy! Leave a nice review if you dig the app. And if not, pop me an email or a Tumblr message. I’m always open to suggestions.
Huzzah! And I’m working on reblog support, among other things, as I type this.

Now that summer’s upon us, I’m trying to increment the app more rapidly. I didn’t announce the arrival of Listenr 1.1 because, frankly, it was a bit of an embarrassment. Soon after its approval, I discovered a nasty bug that caused the application to crash consistently on specific blog pages….
This is what I’ve been spending a fair chunk of my evening time on this past week.
On the note of catching bugs, I’d like to extend an invitation to you, dear reader, to beta test upcoming versions of Listenr. Sign up here. Testflight is pretty magical. I’m looking for thoughtful, specific feedback and reproducible bug reports.

Hao and I are thrilled to announce that Listenr has been submitted to the App Store. Hopefully it’ll be in your hands in a week’s time.
Follow this blog or our Twitter account to be notified of its availability.
This is what I’ve been working on over winter break with my buddy Hao Lian. It’s a music player for audio posts on Tumblr. For now, it’s restricted to songs in your Dashboard and Liked posts.
I fear I might be out of the country when it hits the App Store. I leave for Israel on the 3rd. Here’s to hoping for a quick, painless review process.
