Finally, visible play count while mobile! – Song Data Review

My original review: I've long used play count in iTunes on Mac and Windows laptops and desktops to track what I listen to most and compare how quickly new music bubbles to the top and what artists and songs reliably stay at the top of my choices to play. Since buying an iPhone last year, it has been greatly freeing to no longer be tethered to my computer while listening but it has been frustrating to lose visibility to how many times I've played songs, other than through relative comparisons in play count-based playlists. Finally, the SongData app restores that visibility! I'm guessing that this app hooks into data in memory for the current song being played and that's why it only shows the current song being played and not a list of songs in the library and their play counts, but that is a vast improvement over no visibility. Accepting that limitation, this app is more than sufficient and does what it does perfectly. Update 2018-09-04: Thankfully, the iOS Music app has restored the ability to see (and set!) star ratings. I still use this app occasionally to see the last time I played a song and the play count. It is solid and does what it does very well, and the feature to show album art at screen width is a nice perk.
