Leave a Review Freegal Music
Love this FREE app and music!
Sooooo many songs and artists!! If it doesn’t work in India, seems kinda unfair to give it 1 star. It states, clearly, that it’s for use through your Public Library. Probably not available Internationally!!
I think it’s fun, and love downloading 5 free songs a week. FREE!!! How can you beat it? Thank you!!!!!Show lessGaylefriend2

Thanks for the great review!Afraid to install new Updates
1. The last time I updated the app, the “Wish List” option was gone and with it went my entire “Wish List”. It had to be researched again, taking hours.
2. The Wish List was gone and replaced by “Favorites”, but when songs are downloaded from the Favorites, they are not automatically removed from Favorites like previously with “Wish List”. Now, I need to individually choose songs to “Remove from Favorites”. Still, they visually remain after removing until the App is closed and re-opened.
3. Also, when moving songs from Search to Favorites, the app puts several of each song (ie. I save 3 songs, but 15 appear on the Fav list).
4. The App catalog of songs & artists is not completely cross-referenced. A search for a song title might yield one list, while a search of the original artist may not even contain the same song and vice versa. Also, a searched for song that yields “no results” can sometimes be found in it’s original form on a “Best of …” album.
All in all, I still very much appreciate what I get for free… but it frequently takes some extra work on my end. Thanks and keep working on it!!Show lessAbiyoyo1952

Very sorry for the issues you are facing. We would be happy to help you if you email us at support@help.libraryideas.com.Revamped Look, STILL BROKEN
DoD Library patrons STILL can’t stream with the app when stationed overseas (when we could use it most). So frustrating. DoD should pull the contract and find another provider.The Unlettered Non-Prophet
Wide selection of songs and artist but look out for covers
I just came back to Freegal after being away for a long while. I was away because honestly, I forgot about it. You only get a few song a week but hey, they are free! You have to have the time and patience to sort through and find the songs and artists and listen to it completely before you download it. I love that they give you a wishlist for when you’ve met your limit for the week you can add to your wishlist for the next week. Like I said, it takes a lot of time but if you hang in there you can build a great collection and sort them into playlist.Show lessLil_Jill

Thank you for your review. Enjoy reading & keep supporting us :) One of the biggest features we added was recommendations. When you download or stream a song we update you with other artist, albums or songs you might like. Let us know how that is working for you at support@help.libraryideas.com.Update: Recent update removed local playlists
My first review was accurate at two stars. The app was updated to make the local playlists accessible. Based on this update I changed my rating to four stars.
Original review:
It used to be a 4 star app for me. Not perfect but workable. I had created a few playlists of downloaded songs and enjoyed them. Just updated to the new version and personal playlists are gone. This makes it far less useful.Show lessFfyler

Sorry for the inconvenience, however, if you update your application to the latest version, you should see how your playlists return. For more help, send us an email to support@help.libraryideas.com.Was great until recent update
I downloaded 5 songs a week for several years. I organized them into playlists by genre . It was great. But in the last month there was an update that not only eliminated the ability to add new songs to playlists, it deleted all existing playlists - three years worth gone!
Edit - app has been updated again, and downloaded playlists are back. ThanksShow lessjrlbeach

Used to be great until 6 days ago. Now I cannot make or use my old downloaded playlists. What happen?no way thats stupid
It’s slow, now it’s worse
This app is free, so it is what it is. The update is not an improvement. You can no longer sort your downloads so you might be able to find something specificdumb name1
Please please please
My playlist were not lost after updating to the latest version however by this time I would expect you had finally solved this app’s biggest flaw that really makes it practically unusable: more often than not playback stops between tracks when iPhone is locked. This is incredibly frustrating and oftentimes doesn’t even resume after unlocking but only after closing and relaunching the app, if at all. Please makes this priority 1 to be fixed.Show lessJD&FD
