Loved for its catalog, hated for crashes, ads and AI-filled shuffle.
Still better than Spotify
it has literally every song ever
has very good recommendations
YouTube premium carrying over to YT music is the greatest subscription ever
this app crashes on my daily
There is an add each time before and after a single song
Why do I have to pay for it to be in the background?
it starts over after a hundred songs or so
It's flooded with garbage AI-generated music
make it so that the whole playlist is actually shuffled
Just wish this was free to play in the background
there's no way to filter out AI music
App needs to be optimized for the iPhone Duo
Should add the equaliser
Fix crashes and mid-song stops, then make shuffle play whole playlists.
A reliable, ad-light, free-background-play player with real shuffle and AI filtering; target unhappy Premium-paying crash victims.
