Frequently asked
Do I need an Apple Music subscription?
Yes. Dropwatch reads the artists in your Apple Music library and plays releases through Apple Music, so an active subscription is required.
Why does Dropwatch ask for Media & Apple Music access?
That permission lets the app read the artists in your library so it can find their new releases. Nothing leaves your device except the lookups needed to fetch release details from Apple. You can manage this in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Media & Apple Music.
The first scan is taking a while. Is that normal?
For large libraries the first scan can take time because it checks every artist you follow. It runs in the background and resumes where it left off, so you can leave the app and come back — progress is saved. You can watch the count under Settings.
Can I use Dropwatch in the car?
Yes — Dropwatch supports CarPlay, so you can browse and play your new releases while driving.
How do I stop following an artist?
Open the Artists tab and toggle off any artist you don't want included in scans.
