Gigs, the latest iOS app from indie developer Hidde van der Ploeg, aims to transform your scattered concert memories into a cohesive and accessible archive. With its user-friendly interface and robust features, it promises to be more than just another music app; it’s a personal journey through time, encapsulated in your favourite tunes.
The key to Gigs’ magic lies in its ability to import all manner of concert-related content—from tickets to screenshots, even website links. Once these elements are added, the app’s AI technology takes over, meticulously organizing and filling out detailed listings for each event. This not only helps fans keep track but also encourages them to revisit cherished memories or discover new ones.
Once all your concerts are logged in, Gigs offers a wealth of functionalities such as syncing dates with your calendar, setting reminders for upcoming shows, and providing set list information. The app even prompts users to rate their experience post-event, ensuring a continuous flow of personal data that can be mined for insights. With its stats dashboard, users can explore trends over time, celebrating milestones like seeing 10 concerts or passing the 1,000-show mark.
For those already tracking their music history elsewhere, Gigs offers seamless integration through its account linking feature. This ensures that no concert goes unrecorded and allows for a comprehensive view of your musical journey. The app’s design is sleek and modern, with Home Screen widgets providing convenient access to upcoming events. Siri integration further enhances usability, allowing users to check on concerts or rate shows via voice commands.
While the basic version of Gigs is free, unlocking additional features requires a monthly or yearly subscription. These perks include data export, deeper insights, and unlimited storage for photos and videos. For those who are die-hard concert-goers, bundling Gigs with NowPlaying offers further discounts, making it an even more attractive option.
