### 3/5 — Cmon… do something

*2026-08-08, version 3.9.6*

Stats don’t add up most of the time. App features feel behind compared to another competitive platform.  Apple is my favorite platform in many things, but with my music, not so much as of yet. Hoping that will change soon.

### 1/5 — 2.2 stars lol

*2026-08-05, version 3.9.6*

It scans FaceID then asks for your password 😂😂😂 Lifetime data crashes the app. I can’t believe apple stands behind a 2-star app. Even with faceID it makes me log in every time. It’s always logging me out and requiring 2FA. Stop with the constant logouts! Just remember me!! Please don’t forget me. Please.

### 1/5 — What's the point?

*2026-08-01, version 3.9.6*

When I released my records, I made sure the metadata was attached to them. I am associated with metadata identifying me as the artist with a code beginning with "FUH" which indicates me as an American artist. Yet a Brazilian artist that came after me, and using my (legal) name shows up under my Apple for Artists account, but the app provides no way to rectify it. What a pain. Deleting.

### 1/5 — Incredibly unreliable

*2026-07-25, version 3.9.6*

If I can login, which usually doesn’t happen because it just runs me around in circles…

### 1/5 — Unauthenticated

*2026-07-18, version 3.9.6*

I have had no luck to verify my artist account because the app won't verify Instagram, Facebook, or my distributor.

### 1/5 — It doesn’t let you sign in

*2026-07-04, version 3.9.6*

I tried signing in and it said apple account or password invalid and I literally typed in the right one

### 2/5 — A sad shell of an app

*2026-06-20, version 3.9.6*

I love Apple Music. It's my preferred platform to stream music, so you can imagine my disappointment with Apple Music for Artists and its lack of content. It's not like one thing turns me away from the app, but a collective:

First, there are so many desktop-exclusive features. I would rather there be no app at all than a halfway done one. We need support for all features on mobile!

Second, there are so many little bugs that make the app annoying to use. When i press the big banner "Get ready for release week" to promote my stuff, it just doesn't work. It takes me to the "add as a favorite" promo. And it constantly signs me out for no reason, which is really annoying.

Lastly, the missed potential. I think this app could be used to add animated album art to your releases. I'm tired of it being an "exclusive" feature that a lot of distributors make you pay for. Could've added the ability to submit a video for your artist profile. Could've built in better analytics or the ability to presubmit content for playlists. So much missed opportunity which is a shame coming from Apple! Spotify for Artists has so much more going for it...

### 1/5 — So awful

*2026-06-19, version 3.9.6*

The worst ever

### 1/5 — Getting set up

*2026-06-09, version 3.9.6*

I think the verifications were a little too much, and they should let you change the phone number your sending it to, as a first timer, I can’t get in at all and I was so excited! 😡😢

### 1/5 — Mbruh

*2026-05-27, version 3.9.5*

No matter what I’ve done the app has been completely unusable for nearly 3 years. I have a new phone btw.

### 1/5 — Spotify for Artist

*2026-05-21*

You guys have so much revenue generation please make a application like spotify for artist

### 1/5 — It's broken

*2026-05-11, version 3.9.5*

It won't let me sign in to the app

### 1/5 — 2.2 stars lol

*2026-04-29, version 3.9.3*

It scans FaceID then asks for your password 😂😂😂 Lifetime data crashes the app. I can’t believe apple stands behind a 2-star app. Even with faceID it makes me log in every time. It’s always logging me out and requiring 2FA. Stop with the constant logouts! Just remember me!! Please don’t forget me.

### 2/5 — Issues

*2026-04-27, version 3.9.3*

App concept is good, but it takes forever to claim artists page

### 1/5 — Can’t use it

*2026-04-22, version 3.7.4*

I don’t know why you’d make it in accessible for older phones

### 2/5 — Taking away streams

*2026-04-20, version 3.9.3*

This isn’t the 1st or 2nd time I’ve had to contact support because over 4 million of my streams vanished.

### 1/5 — Keeps signing out

*2026-04-19, version 3.9.3*

Since the update to Liquid Glass, I get logged out of my Apple account every time I close the app. Signing in every time is extremely annoying.

I can login on web but can’t on the app … no error / no way to bypass the loop …

### 1/5 — Can’t even sign in

*2026-08-17, version 3.9.6*

I deleted the app to re install and it’s still on my phone. Tried searching for the app on my phone and it’s gone.

Looks like they don’t want you to be successful and have an account lol 


Zero stars

### 1/5 — Can’t Sign

*2026-08-13, version 3.9.6*

Honestly abysmal service especially since you think it’s appropriate to increase prices on apple music when we can’t even simply sign into an account to manage music we create or post, sad.!

### 1/5 — Log In Issue

*2026-08-13, version 3.9.6*

Won’t let me log in, even with a passkey and the RIGHT password, I try over and over again, the app doesn’t work. It only lets me log in through my PC with the same password that I type on this app. Just confusing and weird.

### 1/5 — Apple artist app

*2026-08-08, version 3.9.6*

The app sucks very little support and no one knows what to do when you call apple support every one just has a passive tone with stupid question after sharing screen and seeing the problems in real time

### 1/5 — Bugged

*2026-08-08, version 3.9.6*

Stuck in a login loop

### 1/5 — Terrible at every single function

### 5/5 — It’s great

*2026-08-08, version 3.9.6*

It’s great, however I think some more features/data/information would be nice/useful. Not sure why the app is rated so low 🤷‍♂️

### 5/5 — best app ever jk update the app apple

*2026-05-09, version 3.9.5*

Now

### 5/5 — My Music is scattered.

*2026-04-24, version 3.7.4*

I’ve uploaded my music for years, and have always used ReverbNation to do so, the same account since 2010 and now my music has random artist albums and songs from other countries. All my albums, singles and tracks are on other people accounts, Apple and Spotify, even YouTube and I don’t know how to bring them back to mine and remove theirs. If someone has had this issue and fixed it, please help.

### 5/5 — No complaints
