How does chart tracking work?

Chart tracking is a feature that monitors your music charts for changes in the background. It uses iOS notifications to keep you updated on changes in your tracked charts. The frequency of updates is managed by iOS based on how often you use the app - regular app usage ensures more timely tracking updates. To maintain consistent tracking, it's recommended to open the app periodically.

What does the number badge on the app icon mean?

The badge number on the app icon shows the number of tracks you have scrobbled since you last opened the app. This helps you keep track of your listening activity even when not actively using the app.
