  • Please fix the new home page interface!

    This app has, by far, been my most used app for years. But recently there has been one change that I greatly dislike and it’s very frustrating. The new home interface has made it extremely hard to find new music or music similar to the stuff I listen to. It’s just a bunch of random playlists of stuff I’ve usually already heard. It’s not useful at all. It’s actually quite counterproductive. I can’t jump back in to albums, playlists or artist either. It’s just an eternal scroll of random stuff. And if I want to look at songs I’ve been playing the most recently or any playlist like that, I have to go search for it in other pages. It’s very disappointing and it would be awesome if you guys could rectify this situation.
    On another note, I can only press the green shuffle button one time and if I want to reshuffle have to go out of the playlists press something else and then go back in. It’s very frustrating, especially for someone like me who was hundreds, sometimes thousands of songs on my playlists (yes I am very obsessed with music 😂). Please fix these things.

  • The new Home Screen is terrible on Mobile

    Never written a review for anything but this has prompted me. I’ve been a premium user for a few years now on the mobile app and the Home Screen was as close to perfect as I could have expected . I would use the top half of it 90% of the time and that was good enough because it would offer easy visual access to new music and recommendations. Very little scrolling was required due to the plethora of options that could be viewed at one time without scrolling. Now that everything is larger only 2 listening options are available to be viewed without scrolling. 2 options per scroll is a huge step backwards and it’s completely wasted space on the screen. I’m wasting time browsing through music I don’t care about when I was able to scroll twice in the past and find something interesting. The new format also randomly inserts music I’ve just listened to into the mix to fill space, which is frustrating and pointless. At least make the old format an option in the settings. This new format has made finding new music more difficult than ever and it’s unintuitive. By far the worst update the app has ever had. This isn’t going to bring anyone over from Apple Music or Pandora and I’m not sure who the target audience is for this. Senior citizens maybe?

  • It tracked my location…that’s kinda freaky

    Ok so I took a one week vacation to Virginia and about 4 days in I noticed I was getting ads to become a lifeguard at Virginia Beach…I live a good nine hours away from there so that means it tracked my location. I don’t remember ever allowing it to do this. I mean I got ads for my home state before but I never thought anything of it. It took it about 3 days after I got home before the ads switched back to my home state. To be honest I was kind of freaked out about this… Other than that this app was pretty good. I mean there were long ads that occurred frequently and you couldn’t skip them. But other than that I liked it. Wish I would have been made aware that it tracks my location though..

    Edit: So ads are now getting ridiculous :/ I don’t use this app as often as I used to so I’ve noticed when I get on I get more ads. I just got 5 one minute ads in a row after just listening to one song. When I first got this app I loved the ad system because it would give you an ad and then give you 30 minutes of ad free listening. Now it gives you multiple ads in a row after pretty much every song. I realize that it has to have ads since it is the free version but this is overkill. I do wish if they were going to give such long ads that there could be an option to skip it.

  • Best App

    This app is by far the best music service I’ve ever used. (Music platforms I’ve used premium for: SoundCloud, Apple Music) Out of all of the platforms I’ve used, this one trumps all of them by having the greatest variety of songs. Literally all of my music is on here, including covers, nightcore, pop, rock, indie, alternative, rap, and foreign genres like kpop and jpop. It also has the lyrics automatically displayed and as someone who likes to sing and sometimes read for better lyrics comprehension, this is a great feature to have! Of course I have premium but I’ve used the free version for a considerable amount of time, and I can say that it’s definitely worth it to get premium for no ads, unlimited skips, and infinite playlist customization. I love listening to playlists I’ve created on this app! I have over 20 of them so far. This feature is awesome; you can share playlists with friends (and even collaborate with them on playlists too!), put a custom cover image, add a description, and add whatever songs you want. I like this feature because then I don’t have to manually change songs every time one ends. The fact that you can download songs is great too, and this app works on very low bandwidth so if you’re on a plane that offers wifi you can listen without having to worry. Overall I’d say if you’re considering going premium, this app is a must have! But if you want the free version, just know you’ll have limited control over what you play and when you play it.

  • Download this!!!!!!!!!!!!

    SEARCH UP: songs that get you in a mood (And it’s by Robin) Thats my playlist!!! It has those songs that get you in that cruella de vil mood; it’s public so go listen to it!!

    This is obviously a 5 star app, no ads and you can create as many playlists as you want with as many songs as you want, of course there is the payment you have to make but there are no ads so I think it’s a good choice (and you can download your playlist and listen offline👏🏼) However I noticed that you can only add all songs on a playlist made by the songwriter of those songs (for example I was making a kidzbop playlist as a joke btw and I noticed I could put all of the songs from a playlist full of kidzbop songs at once when the playlist was made by kidzbop, but I couldn’t do that when it wasn’t made by kidzbop! I think it’s a great idea that you can do that feature but it would be even better if you could do that for all playlists!

    Thanks for reading! (Look up that playlist!!!) Also sorry if it was a tad hard to understand what I was talking about I don’t really have a great way with words! Bye!

  • Good, but…

    The app is very popular, and probably the best rated out there, if you’re on a bigger device, like a Laptop or PC, I would mostly recommend using it there. When your on a smaller device, like a phone, as someone who doesn’t have premium, it can be very annoying. It may add extra songs in a playlist, wether you’ve listened to them or not. I like listening to music when I’m writing something, or doing homework, but the song adding irritates me and I always get distracted due to this problem. When I have my laptop around me, for example at home, I might put music in the background while doing an assignment. The adds aren’t too bad in my opinion, they don’t last too long or pop up too often, but you can only switch songs a few times a day, and even then it doesn’t chose a song from that playlist. The app is easy to use and easily learn for new users, and I do use it often.

    Overall, I may switch in the future. The app is ok, but has many disappointments.

    2/5.

  • Amazing app.

    One of the best apps I’ve ever got, this app helps me deal with my anxiety and I can express myself listening to all different songs, and finding songs that are from movies!! ( anyone who hasn’t bought premium yet, I recommend it as your next purchase, I am able to listen to music offline where ever I am! It’s amazing ) I recommend this app, I would really like if there was a facility to stop playing your music at a time, sometimes at night I listen to music and I fall asleep to it and I wake up to music in my ears. I would really appreciate if there was a button were you could choose to set alarms for how long a playlist plays. That would be very useful, whoever doesn’t have this app already should get it, it’s so good and free!!

    Thank you for reading! <3

  • I loved it at first.. But I might switch back to SoundCloud

    I originally got on this app because my friends told me it was so much better. If you are on a computer or iPad, this app is absolutely amazing. The app recommends songs to you, makes custom playlists, and has an overall great experience. But if you are like me, who likes to listen to music anywhere on your phone, it’s absolutely unbearable to use it for free. After my free trial with premium, I tried starting my playlist while it was on shuffle. I got very confused on why I couldn’t play my songs in order, and then I realized it was because I didn’t have premium, I was very disappointed in this app. I was listening to one of my favorite songs and wanted to replay it, but I realized I wasn’t able to. I searched up the song to try and see if I could listen to it again, and instead it gave me a shuffle playlist with 20 other songs I would be forced to listen to. You also get limited skips a day, which I find completely unreasonable. This app has a few positive features, like how it recommends new sons based on your playlist, but what’s the point if you can barely even listen to it? In my opinion, on mobile, this app is completely “pay to win.” I don’t see any point in it being free if it’s awful on your phone, which I feel is much easier and convenient to listen on, and this app definitely took advantage of that. For mobile users like me, I don’t recommend this app.

  • JIGGLE JIGGLE

    Louis Theroux, Duke & Jones
    Jiggle, jiggle
    My money don't jiggle, jiggle, it folds
    I'd like to see you wiggle, wiggle, for sure
    It makes me wanna dribble, dribble, you know
    Riding in my Fiat
    You really have to see it
    Six feet two in a compact
    No slack but luckily the seats go back
    I've got a knack to relax, in my mind
    Sipping some red, red wine
    Shepherd's Bush
    My compact push
    Notting Hill Gate
    My Fiat skates
    With a crate of Cabernet
    But not today
    Because I gotta drive
    I wanna stay alive
    Not 'cause it's illicit
    Do I have to get explicit?
    As a matter of fact
    I sip on the 'gnac
    With Big and Reece
    200 diamonds in their piece
    I'm trying to get mine
    So I can shine
    Jiggle, jiggle
    I like to see you, wiggle, wiggle
    Jiggle, jiggle
    I like to see you, wiggle, wiggle
    My money don't jiggle, jiggle, it folds
    I'd like to see you wiggle, wiggle, for sure
    It makes me wanna dribble, dribble, you know
    Riding in my Fiat
    You really have to see it
    Six feet two in a compact
    No slack but luckily the seats go back
    I've got a knack to relax, in my mind
    Sipping some red, red wine
    I think that went really well, don't you?
    I enjoyed it, nice being in the booth
    So unless you have anything else, that's a wrap
    (Jiggle, jiggle)
    (I like to see you, wiggle, wiggle)
    (Jiggle, jiggle)
    (I like to see you, wiggle, wiggle)

  • Sticky Songs

    I wish I could give it 5 stars but I can’t. I’ve used the app for years now and this only really started happening a year ago or at least like 6 months ago. But songs that I’ve played a lot ie the songs I really like just don’t play. Or it takes a couple tries for them to start, going back and forth between a song I start to play, just so I can try to try start the song I actually want to hear, and the song I really want to listen to can just be annoying. I feel like I put up with it for long enough that some of the songs that I had no issues with before are now completely locked. I really don’t want to happen to my current favorite songs because it just makes me switch away from my favorite genres and find something that while being good doesn’t have the same sort of liveliness of true discovery. Instead it’s a bit of a feeling of relief like making it out school when it’s evacuated. That may not be the best way to look at it though, a little insensitive if anything else, but I’m just trying to say that it’s forced. It’s not something that I want or need to do, and the thing that’s making me have this musical exodus is the fact that my songs aren’t playing properly.
