A pattern on Instagram showcasing album tracks as shop invoices started a pattern after developer Michelle Liu launched ‘Receiptify.’ While Apple Music users might utilize the service in a restricted capability from 2020-2023– the capability was gotten rid of in 2015.
Liu presented Receiptify in 2020 as a special method to display Spotify information in a shop invoice format. The app can process listening information from the other day, last month, or the last 6 months– providing a PNG picture of a Spotify users’ listening history. As Liu continued to establish the app over the last couple of years, she included minimal assistance for Apple Music.
The Apple Music API just supported ‘Heavy Rotation’ tracks, returning information about a users’ most-played tracks, albums, and playlists in an undefined duration. Spotify in fact provides listening dates through its API, so the Receiptify for Apple Music generator was constantly a little less comprehensive than its Spotify equivalent.
Receiptify was upgraded in 2023 to eliminate the Apple Music link at some point in between February 16– 27. In its location, Liu consists of a link to Tune My Music, which enables users to move playlists in between Apple Music and Spotify.
Since 2024– the link to Tune My Music is gone and just Spotify and Last.fm stay. It promises that Liu got a sponsorship from Tune My Music to put a link to its playlist transfer services– foregoing the Apple Music API link entirely.
As an outcome, Apple Music no longer deals with Receiptify. Because Liu made the code offered openly and totally free by means of GitHub, a number of Receiptify knock-offs have actually appeared on the iOS App Store. They make use of code composed by Liu, however still just provide the very same fundamental functions of the Receiptify site with the included addition of in-app purchases varying from $1.99 to $34.99.
Receiptify does not work straight with Apple Music any longer and even when it did, it was just in minimal capability. Anybody who wishes to produce among these images to share amongst pals will require to do so utilizing Spotify or Last.fm information. It’s worth keeping in mind that Apple Music information can be ‘scrobbled’ to Last.fm, however just if the tune is contributed to your individual collection.
