ListenBrainz Android just had its latest release out yesterday and it is all about stability. For the past few months users have been complaining about stability or the app where they would experience sudden crashes and UI being broken at multiple places which resulted in overall bad experience. Our app was not compatible with changes in Android 15 as well which was a big let down.
We decided to put a stop (not entirely) on adding new features (porting features from website) and just work on squashing small pesky bugs all over the app and are still going for it.
We have fixes around:
- Login
- Profile
- BrainzPlayer
- Listen Submission Service
- Overall Performance
Given all these, we also added Created For You
page in Profile and is available for every one to try out.
Big thanks to all the contributors which put in their effort to making the app stable and better than before.
Next steps
We already know what issues are there with the app and are going to go for a spear headed approach where our objectives are clear moving forward.
