  • Amazing but....

    This app is literally the best thing EVER!!!! (No joke). I love that I can listen to heaps of music whenever I want for FREE! A lot of people say that premium is a complete waste of money, but honestly it is such a good spend. You will not be disappointed. The one slight problem that I have is that for the sleep timer settings, you can only choose from 5mins, 10mins, 15mins, 30mins, 45mins and 1 hour. Their should be a custom setting, where you set your own sleep timer. For example, some nights, I want my podcast or music to play for 2 hours, but I can only have 1 hour. Please fix this. Other than that, amazing, and keep up the good work!

  • not bad music source but could be better

    Okay, i have been using this app for a while and have experienced lots of weird things. First i want to talk about the shuffle thing. you can shuffle songs so that it picks random songs in any playlist, but thats where my huge problem is. you cant pick specific songs you just have to listen to the playlist until it plays that song. and if you have shuffle mode on for a little bit then you cant turn it off.. so, shuffle mode has a lot of disadvantages. I cant get rid of shuffle mode so I saw another glitch. Lets say that i decided to make my own playlist, I make it and other songs are added just because of shuffle mode, but you can add songs to get rid of them. Okay, then my playlist “ends” and then RANDOM songs play.. I have to play a different playlist now. and sometimes if i return to the one that i was playing the song is still there, and if i skip it more random songs will start playing, then i have to wait a whole HOUR to get more skips. I feel like non premium users should have more freedom of doing what they want. oh, and with shuffle mode on, you cant pick a song or make it into a loop. and like i said, after a little bit you cant turn shuffle mode off. So yeah, this app could definitely improve more things. Also, please don’t take what i'm saying the wrong way. Thank you for reading, and it would be a pleasure if one of these got fixed! Byee!!❤️

  • Glitch

    I like this app and I actually like that it suggests other songs to listen to because I like finding new music that fits into my category. I’m even okay with the only six skips an hour thing because I’m not picky and I have multiple playlists I can listen to. However, for some reason every time I’m listening to the music nowadays the app will randomly exit out and stop playing music. I have to physically get back into the app just to restart the song I’d been listening to, and it always starts back up at like 0:07, so I’ll listen to like 3/4 of the song AGAIN just for it to cut out and I have to restart the process over. Just now I listened to the same song seven times in a row without completion. This is a consistent problem that’s pushed me to write a review (which I don’t normally do). I’ve even gone online to see what I can do to fix it and tried all the suggestions (exiting out of all other apps, completely logging out of my account and logging back in, etc.) and it still does it. Like I said, I can make do with the small amount of skips per hour and even the suggestive songs to my playlists but this is getting ridiculous since I can’t even do what the app is made for. 👎

  • It keeps stopping

    A problem I frequently have is that when listening to my music, the songs will randomly stop playing and when I go to hit play again, the app restarts. Sometimes admittedly, it’s just because my app needs updated, but it will also do that completely randomly at times. What is with that? I’ll continue playing my music again, and not only will the song restart, but it also cuts off again but even earlier than it did before. It’s honestly extremely annoying and very difficult to deal with when I’m working either at home or at my job. Nine times out of ten, I’d have to close the app completely, and wait thirty to ninety minutes before my music will play uninterrupted again. It’s incredibly frustrating, especially since all I want is to play some music.

    Another thing is six skips per hour? Really? That’s so incredibly annoying, and it makes it worse when I’m wasting all my skips on the stupid suggested tracks you give me. I don’t want to listen to that!? If you absolutely HAVE to put something in, play more of the same artist at least. It’s so annoying to only have six skips and waste them all on music that I never wanted to hear in the first place. The worst part is, even if I go to a different playlist and come back, it continues playing the suggested track. I don’t want it! On that note, I also don’t want the extra songs you put in my playlists. I take one track off, another gets added. If I wanted that song in my playlist, I’d put it there.

  • Pretty good but...

    It’s a pretty good app, you can get a lot of music and make your own playlists so that’s nice. It also has good sound quality and does it’s best to stabilize sound so you don’t get really jarred by the start of a new song.
    My complaints are that there is a bug that just stops your music even when your internet connection is great. It often happens when your phone screen is locked, and sometimes when you open your phone and go to the app it has completely crashed, other times it has just paused it for some reason.
    My other complaint is more trivial, and it is about the auto play of recommended songs. I understand that the app is designed to act like a radio station, where you can’t really choose which songs you play and some will be played that are relating to the genre. However, I just really hate this feature, especially when I am playing songs from a artist that I really like however it is in a genre that I generally hate. Ideally the recommend song would be close enough to the artist’s style that the user might like the song as well even though they don’t like the genre, however that hasn’t been the case yet for me.

    Other than my two complaints, this app is pretty great and I recommend it.

  • Daily drive algorithms glitchy

    This is a good app, I use it everyday and subscribe to premium. I’d give it 5 stars if only the daily drive worked more effectively but it’s filled with issues.
    First, there are no options for news choices, yes, the abc is a no brainer, but what happened to the squiz and betoota? They’re both excellent! Love me Betoota news! And why can’t I choose to remove some of the lousy news broadcasts selected for me? And why not allow me to select news sources from overseas?
    Second, and this has made it hardly worth even bothering with, it chooses the same fifty or so songs everyday. Most of which have been deselected long ago, but they still show up, so what I end up with is a dozen songs I really like but would rather not hear every single day and a bunch of boring headlines I could read in a Murdoch rag with no real presenter charm or depth.
    What’s the solution here?

  • New update

    Hello! I love this app a lot because of its playlist ability but I do not like the new update. In the update they changed how playlists work and how the artist areas and songs are played. My main problem with the new update is the fact that you can’t play the songs you have inside a playlist you can only play the playlist and it will shuffle through the songs you have in that playlist. Most of the time when I use a playlist I categorize songs that make me feel a certain way so when I’m feeling that emotion I can go into that playlist and listen to the song I want; however with the new update I can’t pick which song I start with and it really annoys me. I also hate all the new options and how much guess work has to happen. I much prefer the old set up and navigation to the new one and would like there to be some kind of settings option to go back to the old version or to just scrap this dumpster fire of a new set up all together.

    To any readers of this I’m sorry if a lot of what I said was repeated or doesn’t make sense I’m not the best at expressing how I feel about something through words I just really needed to talk about how much I hate this update.

  • Organising

    I wish you would be able to organise your playlists on the app as well as on a monitor.

    I’m the type of person who likes to arrange and rearrange the order of my playlists and to be able to categorise them into folders. By all of this you can only do on the desktop. It would be a great addition to be able to do this on the mobile app as well to increase ease and decrease hassle. Often times I would be using the app but would need to intentionally go on my laptop just to make a simple adjustment in order of my playlist.

  • Lack of options, randomly censored songs

    This app is really annoying in the sense that I can’t organize my music the way I used to. The “Genre” option doesn’t even exist. If you want to organize by artist/album it has to download your artist/album’s songs. It’s just a bunch of ridiculous extra buttons that I shouldn’t ever need to deal with.

    My least favorite thing about this app is, songs will randomly become censored without warning. That means, I was in a huge Johnny Cash phase, and had listened to “A Boy Named Sue” like a hundred times, then one day, the line goes from “I’m the son of a ***** that named you Sue” to “I’m the [BLEEEEEEEEEEEEP] that named you Sue”. Like WHY. All of my songs are fine, but one day suddenly one will be censored after enjoying it for months. I’m paying for this service, and have no parental settings or anything turned on to make that happen on my end. This should not ever happen.

    Besides that, it’s decent enough as a music app. Music comes out fine, making playlists is easy, they do have a wide selection of music, and even have personalized playlists that aren’t so bad a lot of the time. I can organize my songs in any order I want to. Sure, if I want songs organized by genre, I have to make an entire separate playlist or just listen to a pre-made playlist with songs that I don’t even care about that I have to constantly skip and skip and skip, but hey, at least it’s somewhat possible.

  • Good but could be better

    I’m rating this app three stars because overall it’s quite a good app - you can listen to lots of songs, download podcasts for free, and they have almost every song, but sometimes the adverts can be really annoying and long for the free version, and also I really don’t like the fact that it doesn’t always work on mobile data. Like it’s almost a luck of the draw - will it work or will it not? I find that quite irritating as I like listening to music when I’m out and about. I also don’t like that the 6 skips an hour doesn’t always work. Like an hour after I’ve used the last skip it still won’t skip tracks. I mean it’s still a good app, and it’s understandable that there are ads and stuff, but I just really hate the fact it doesn’t work on by mobile data. Other than that, quite a good app with 6 skips an hour which is better than no skips. Would recommend getting if you’re not willing to pay for anything!
