Don’t waste your time ### 1/5 — Used to be great *2025-08-15, version 2.34* I was just raving to a friend about this app so I open it up to show them only to discover that everything has changed. This app used to be excellent at parsing plain text and creating playlists. Now every interaction I have with the app just results in a timeout. I would be happy to subscribe if any of it worked. ### 1/5 — Bad product. Doesn’t work. *2025-06-25, version 2.34* I immediately canceled my subscription to this AI playlist generator after a frustrating experience. Every single attempt to create a playlist, five in total, resulted in an error code. The "AI" aspect was completely absent; the app seemed only capable of generating incredibly basic and useless playlists, like one simply titled "Songs." There was absolutely no evidence of artificial intelligence at work, unless it's designed to cleverly select the error messages that prevent it from delivering on its core promise. Save your money—this app is a waste of time and cash. ### 2/5 — could be better *2025-06-22* expensive plan and not available in local language like telugu hindi in india and should have youtube music support tooo i think ### 1/5 — Worthless *2025-05-16, version 2.34* 19 songs that stink? ### 1/5 — Horrible App *2025-05-13, version 2.34* It worked great the first time I tried it through chatGPT. Now it won’t connect to Amazon it won’t upload to Apple but it happens to work great with Spotify who sponsors them. Hmm. 🧐 ### 1/5 — Failing *2025-04-19, version 2.34* Keeps failing to communicate with Apple Music. ### 1/5 — Just as bad as the apple recommendations *2025-03-18, version 2.34* Terrible and no better than whatever the Apple Music algorithm does. Forking over data to whomever this and Apple for nothing. ### 1/5 — Buggy, slow, inaccurate, and expensive. What’s the point? *2025-03-03* A year later in 2025, this app still misses the mark. I tried it again and asked it to make a 100 song playlist of 80s b-sides, deep cuts, and forgotten favorites. It spit back 27 songs that are the most popular 80s songs ever. I don’t know what AI they are using but it’s terrible. If I ask ChatGPT for the same playlist, it gives me exactly 100 songs that match the request perfectly. Honestly it’s 1000x better to generate playlists using ChatGPT and then import that list of songs into Apple Music using the free TuneMyMusic service. It’s also quicker — this app is painfully slow, and throws errors more often than not. I emailed the developer asking if they had any advice about why it’s giving me tracks that don’t fit what I’m asking for, but after 5 days they didn’t respond. Original review: I tried several features of this app when it first launched and again in Nov 2023. It’s ridiculously buggy and slow. I tried creating a couple playlists just now and after waiting 3 minutes for a response, I gave up. Same with finding “friends of artists”, no response in a reasonable amount of time. When the full ChatGPT4 Turbo with custom GPT assistants is $20/mo and has unlimited uses (not just playlist creation), why would I spend $2.99/mo for this app? Especially when ChatGPT can spit out a playlist for me in about 10 seconds vs this app taking 3+ minutes? Also, ChatGPT directly makes MUCH better playlists, and is interactive so you can tailor it to your personal preferences. I find that this app generates completely predictable playlists of hit songs that I’ve heard thousands of times, even if I prompt it to make a playlist of “b-sides and discovery”… while the same prompt on ChatGPT directly generates a playlist full of surprises. **Developer response:** Sorry about your experience, ChatGPT has been having a lot of outages this week with the release of their new models which has been affecting playlistai performance. If you email me at brett@playlistai.app I can credit you with more playlists ### 1/5 — Wow 4 songs, what a playlist. *2025-03-03, version 2.34* Not much of a playlist maker. ### 1/5 — Buggy and purely not worth the money *2025-02-11* I don’t review often but i find it outrageous how such an app that is extremely slow an barely works is trying to be sold to me for 50 a year. the recommendations, when they work aren’t even good either. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time *2025-02-05, version 2.34* The only options you get are Amazon music which constantly pops up to subscribe to Amazon music unlimited, Spotify? Which I do not use, and another I have never heard of. It will not let you use Apple Music and the others listed aren’t supported. Terrible app. One of the worst “AI” things I’ve seen. Don’t waste your time. ### 1/5 — Good, but expensive *2025-01-30* Work really well, but you can only create 4 playlist and then it blocks you unless you pay a full year ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2025-12-23* Poor poor poor ### 1/5 — Slow and bad app *2025-12-21, version 2.34* every time I put songs into the thing there is an error or it just gives me the most freedom songs ever ### 1/5 — BPMs innacurate *2025-12-18, version 2.34* Was recommended to me to help make playlists as a spin instructor. I tried making two different playlists with prompts that included a specific bpm range ie “2000s club hits in 85-95 BPM”. The playlist had songs from 120BPM to 110BPM and all over the place. Will not even finish the trial. ### 1/5 — Absolutely disappointing *2025-12-12* Completely unable to find songs I know exist on Apple Music 100%… ### 1/5 — No better than what Apple Music can already do *2025-12-11* This app was advertised as being able to filter and sort songs, but it’s very basic no better than what you can do with Apple Music. I was trying to only add songs from certain years and it was unable to do that. I’m glad I didn’t pay for a whole year only a week to try it out. ### 1/5 — App needs a lot of work. *2025-12-10* The app needs a lot of work. For starters, when I’m trying to create a playlist, it won’t let me create it because it says I’ve reached the playlist limit and then it won’t tell me how many playlist you can create. Second of all, most apps allow you to create more than two of whatever you’re trying to create. I love the app because it created two Great playlist I like, but the issue is with everything that’s with those two main issues I’m gonna have to give it a one star review. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-12-01* Does not work, you prompt it and get completely different outputs if it generates anything at all and the playlist is like 10 songs long ### 1/5 — Dead App *2025-10-20* This app hasn't been updated in year, doesn't work anymore and is more than likely dead in the water. I wish Apple would removed dead and inactive apps or let users know when the creator has abandoned the app and to download at our own caution. It gets stuck in a loop and never creates playlists anymore. I'm guessing the backend is dead and the app is still up for no reason. ### 1/5 — Can't find songs *2025-10-18* The app tries to create a playlist but ultimately fails saying "Error finding songs" even when I use one of the template prompts. I'm using Spotify.. ### 1/5 — No better than Spotify ai *2025-09-01, version 2.34* Does nothing that the built in Spotify ai can’t already do. Tried using it to discover new artists but all it did was give artists I already listen to ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great so far *2026-03-07* I’ve only had it for about two or three days and this makes my playlist for me, it saves so much time. Love it. ### 5/5 — Music to enjoy *2026-02-10, version 2.34* Easy ### 5/5 — Out of this World!!! *2025-12-26* I wish I’d. I sited this sooner. Just pick your vibe and era to your liking; discuss with AI and voila, a ten track playlist of thumping beats!! ### 5/5 — It just works *2025-11-17* I got taken in by another app, so subscribed to this with a bit of trepidation. Turns out to be an awesome app that does everything it promises. I use it daily. Worth every penny. ### 5/5 — The goat *2025-04-30, version 2.34* Thanks a ton for making this app ### 5/5 — Bluffant hallucinant ! *2025-04-18* Cette appli est diaboliquement efficace ! C’est très énervant 🤪 ### 5/5 — Does exactly as it’s told *2025-03-29, version 2.34* See title ### 5/5 — Great free trial *2024-08-23, version 2.31* Created playlist and easy to use UI. ### 5/5 — Everyone needs this!! *2024-04-05, version 2.31* Made the perfect 20 sec playlist for the nyc earthquake ### 5/5 — Saves so much time *2024-03-28, version 2.31* Love making playlists based on my top artists and quick ones with the ai chat --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
