Downloaded music keeps disappearing cannot re-download.
Music I pay for and download to iPad keeps disappearing. I thought it was happening with songs I have doubled up on with different albums. Now it is happening with songs I have one item. Apple tried to sort problem but keeps happening. Don’t know why I waste time and money. Only have mobile data internet which is very expensive. Sick and tired of re-downloading the song if I can. Most of time can’t redownload the songs.

Great album
I can’t believe the sophistication of the lyrics! You will go places!
Still a great way to manage music
iTunes is still a great way to support your favourite artists and buy their music.
App Store practices need updating
Two things wrong with Apple and their App Store. First, a horrible “free” app can be swarmed with good reviews from bots. Apple has not done anything to stop this.
Secondly, if an app was once good, it gets to keep all reviews no matter how horrible it went. I’ve seen apps that started out wonderfully. No ads, no IAP, works perfectly and great customer support. Then, ads start appearing. There’s IAP to remove the ads, that costs more than a subscription to a streaming service. Looking at you Weather Channel. They get to keep all the good reviews from the beginning, which can be in the hundreds of thousands, no matter how horrible it becomes.
Apple, you need to start erasing all reviews if a once completely free app adds IAP. And again if one goes from $1 a month to $5+. The old reviews do not get changed and devs are taking advantage of it. You’re better than this. You were one for the people that bought your technology and I’ve seen a shift in the wrong direction, that only cares about profit from these people. You once knew your customers were the reason you made it this far, now we’re just a number. And that’s why your sales are no where near what they should be. And you’ll never get there again at this rate.

Song wouldn’t work
Had to down load a song twice
Restoring Purchases So Broken
To save storage space I cleared all downloaded music off my phone. Whoops, forgot my alarms were songs, but no big deal I’ll redownload. Went to iTunes app, those specific songs weren’t listed in downloads. Searched for those songs and they were marked as purchased, but if you click on the word purchased nothing happens. Tried looking in my Apple ID for any sort of option, tried looking in things like Hidden Purchases, nothing! Someone online suggested playing several seconds of the song so it appears in “Previewed.” That worked and when it shows up there it has a price and asks if you want to buy it. When you say yes and double click to download it says you already purchased it and makes you enter your password manually. Then it FINALLY lets you download. iTunes has always been pretty broken, but this is so stupid. Not to mention the Purchased list shows 202 songs, but I know my actual purchases over the last decade are over 500 songs.

Awesome music App.
It’s been over four years since I was on Apple Tunes.
This was due to a fraudulent action, so I placed a block on Apple.
Anyway back to the review, wow have I missed this excellent Application.
Great variety of music , from country music to Dance, Pop, Rock, Classical; basically the full works.
For the price it’s well worth it, at nearly £3 a week it’s a give away membership; what would you get for that amount in this day and age??

Taking away the ability to buy films!
itunes until this week allowed for customers to purchase films and shows they wanted to. Now it only allows them to purchase music unless you managed to save films on a wish list (delete that by the way). Apple now wants us to purchase movies on their AppleTV app. fine, but certain shows and movies immediately defer to other streaming services with no option for purchase. It’s all dependent on those services, we already knew that our ability to buy films and TV on iTunes was basically a “license” to the right to watch these programs, but now I can’t even buy what I want unless I buy another streaming service that may not even have what I want after a few months. It’s not fair spending more money on a monthly basis for less content . It’s extremely lame of Apple and other companies to continue to prioritize streaming over a customer being able to actually purchase what they want, I should be able to purchase what I want with my own money.

Search engine refuses to work or just shows irrelevant results
Really frustrating experience now. Searches often do nothing or show a popular list which couldn’t be further from what I typed in. Then when I click on something I get pop up Apple Music ad. I never want subscription model, this forced approach is not going to persuade me rather it will make me stop using Apple / iPhone / iPad / Apple TV. It’s a flawed system controlled by useless algorithms.

Please don’t take this away from us
I’m glad it still works for music. I can buy an album or songs and it just appears in the Music app. I don’t want to rent music anymore. I bought albums all my life until the 2010s and now I’ve gone back to buying music again. I like knowing that my favorite albums won’t suddenly be taken down or moved to another platform.
I’m sad that movies and TV have been moved to Apple TV, because I liked the simplicity of visiting a single store for music, movies and TV. But I guess I should be grateful that we can still buy movies instead of literally everything being gated behind a subscription.
