  • Ok but…

    This app is pretty nice! It is free with no ads. But lots of good songs are missing. And it is too slow. You can only get five downloads per week. It has been FOREVER and only have a few songs!
  • Patience

    You must have patience using this app. It’s free through libraries, but you have to work at it. You get 5 downloads a week, and after a year you have a good set of songs. There is unlimited streaming, and you can load songs there, but you need internet access to play streaming. I have found a lot of interesting songs and musicians through Freegal, as it seems anyone can upload their music. It is missing a lot of great performers but you can find almost any song. Just takes awhile to find just the right version.

  • Library cancelled

    The Spokane Library system has discontinued this service. We enjoyed it for many years. How can we continue to get it?
    Thanks, Gary
  • Okay but needs some work

    Annoying and borderline clunky interface but considering it is “free” downloadable music it is tough to complain too much. I had no technical issues. Music quality doesn’t seem to be HD but is good enough for most users I think.
  • Great

    Great app and you can download music so you can Liston on the road. But they are missing lots of artists it I have tried to find.
  • Freegal is a glitchy cash grab

    Freegal is awful. Poor selection, glitchy, terrible user interface, and difficult to transfer files to listen in another app. They charge public library systems exorbitant rates for sub par performance, capitalizing in many cases on the libraries’ lack of tech savvy.

    0/10 do not recommend, and strongly recommend libraries find another way to get music to their patrons.

  • Music pauses when app not in foreground

    On iPhone SE 2, music always pauses if the phone sleeps or if it is not the foreground app. I don’t have this problem on an older iPhone 6. Very frustrating, especially when driving.
  • Great

    This app works very well with no crashes. I noticed in some reviews people complaining about the selection of music not being as good as they would like. I would like to remind them this is app is free. If you want all the latest music then you have to pay and use some other app. For being a free app, it works well and has a reasonably good selection of music, videos and audiobooks. I love the app!

  • Audio quality is much better than desktop

    I have been downloading songs off the freegal website for months now with access from my library card. However, the audio streaming quality on the desktop website always left something to be desired. The audio quality on the app is much better!

    The music selection on here can be a bit eclectic, but I have still found lots of great stuff! A good way to search out good or popular songs is to check the playlists different public libraries put together. And it’s all free! (well, payed for by taxes. Support your public libraries for great services like this!)

  • The Future of Music

    So I downloaded this app a few months ago and it has been amazing. Great design, almost no glitches, awesome interface, good music, and all for free! This would be the dream app except for one minor problem. It’s selection of songs does not include pop music bands such as Taylor Swift, Imagine Dragons, etc. Overall though, this app is amazing and should be used by everybody. It even has a good selection of other genres such as rock and alternative. I highly recommend this app to everybody who likes alternative, rock, rap, latin, and even old-school hip-hop. This is definitely the future of music.
