Too Costly
Too much $$$ to make this app functional
What happened?!?
The old app was so great then after the last 3-4 months of updates it’s become extremely laggy, takes literally 5-10 seconds to start playing a song, constantly tells me I haven’t downloaded a song when it’s already downloaded and in a playlist......
This app WAS amazing, so good, idk what’s happened but the updates have basically ruined it for me, hopefully this gets sorted in future updates. I will be leaving after 1 more if nothing has improved.

Chaotic
New design is nicer sure but it’s harder to listen to certain kinds of songs like clicking on a song that’s recommended or recently listened to and getting similar songs, now it’s just going into a recent song and every song playing after it is the same songs and not random anymore. It’s like its just one playlist.

Disgusting
I am appalled by this business model.
There are already well established services and apps.
This brings nothing new.
It actually lacks everything that makes a streaming app good.
If you want the stuff that makes it better you actually have to pay and you still get a subpar app.
TLDR
Google is making you pay way too much for something you can find in other apps for much less moolah...and it still sucks...

eh
yeah, nice that it’s free but it’s even worse than spotify with the premium features. isn’t the point of a music app to listen while the phone’s locked??
Money
I like how it functions but not how you need to pay for everything like listening to it while it’s closed
MESS!
The library and preferences from Google Play Music do not transfer to YouTube Music. Instead of sticking with Google Play Music or just rebranding the service, Google decided to go for the messiest transition in their history.
Very buggy and missing basics
Very disappointed with this app so far:
1) When downloading playlists, the album art is pixelated for EVERY track. I can’t find a way to fix this.
2) Even though the setting for downloading videos is switched on - it will only download audio and not videos for offline use.
3) Despite having a gigabit Internet connection, downloads are incredibly slow. Almost 3 hours for just 2GB of content. On Google Play music, 2GB will take around 15 mins to download on my iPhone.
4) What’s the point of adding something to your library? Where does it go? This app feels rushed.

Why Did You Remove The Feature That Allowed Us To Find Remixes From The “More” Button?
(Updated On Exp) Starting to love this new look actually. I can see the songs I enjoy replaying come up well at the top section. What was great before was tapping a track that I’ll enjoy, and wondering - what would some remixes/covered/related tracks sound like. The older “more” button or what the current “i”/“Information” button had previously done this. It was awesome! I was hooked. I could find so many great songs from other artists/DJs and so on by finding a great hit, then tapping those buttons. Now those features aren’t to be found.
I don’t feel confident paying because I can get the same great hits/music from streaming services that I’ve never tried before. I was a student for all the time I’ve used it (1.5 years) as well - so I really do love the app!
It’s harsh pressing the info button and seeing nothing.

Content winner, though lacking some polish and features
Hands down, the most music of any service. If it's a song that was recorded by humans it's probably in here. And will at some point come across your station. End of the day that's what matters most to me for a music service. Exposure to content. That said, the app is missing a few minor convenience features present in other similar services. My biggest peeve, no Windows PC music only mode. I listen to music a lot at work and would prefer not to eat bandwidth for videos I'm not watching. While in power the app has no option to keep the screen on meaning I have to unlock my phone to thumb a song down while driving. And the most minor, no way to thumb down a song that's not currently playing, gotta stop playing the current track, start playing the other one, then thumb it down. Also, why no access to comments?
