Bunk! ### 1/5 — Permission issue *2025-11-14, version 2.2* Why does this app need my library to show the charts ### 1/5 — Preview songs only *2025-11-14, version 2.2* All the reviews are shills The app requires you to buy Apple Music to hear full songs and all the top songs are pop or light dentist office listening Total waste of a download. 15? 30? Seconds of a song is a waste. Fake reviews ### 1/5 — Requires an Apple Music subscription *2025-11-14, version 2.2* Doesn’t say anywhere in description that it only works if you already subscribe to Apple Music. ### 1/5 — Free *2025-11-13, version 2.2* Your supposed to be free for lifetime that your not owning up you are sending me an Apple paywall! PS unrig the reviews coward ### 1/5 — racism *2025-11-13, version 2.2* If there were zero stars, I would have given them to you. Why didn't you give Iran one?! You and Apple's policies are shameless, dishonorable, and inhumane. Thanks 😁 ### 3/5 — Requires Apple Music for full songs *2025-11-17, version 2.2* UPDATE: Yes, to respond to the dev- that would be awesome to save even just the samples, to have a list of interesting music to refer to and possibly buy, later. I own some iTunes songs - I would like to be able to buy single tracks of songs I found here, and even better, play the current tracks/songs I already own. If that were added I would definitely enjoy this app more. ORIGINAL: It’s fun to glance at what songs are popular right now in other countries/ listen to samples of those songs, but that’s all I could do with it. It is far more useful if you have an Apple Music subscription. Without it, this app just becomes an ad for Apple Music- tapping the heart button to favorite pulls up an ad for Apple Music, tapping the ‘full song’ button does the same. There is no way to save the music you come across that you do like- not even the short sample versions. ### 3/5 — Needs Apple Music Subscription *2025-11-14, version 2.2* I am disappointed by the app, because it does not play the whole song, just the preview. You need to pay for a Apple Music subscription to listen to the entire song. ### 3/5 — Requires Apple Music for full songs *2025-11-13* It’s fun to glance at what songs are popular right now in other countries/ listen to samples of those songs, but that’s all I could do with it.

Would you like to save the song sample previews that you like even without apple music subscription? Unfortunately apple does not allow to play full songs or create playlists for users with no active subscription, therefore having no subscription to Music limits functionality. Hope you understand. If you still like the app and have improvement suggestions, please feel free to send a message! ### 4/5 — Limited options for extended *2026-02-08, version 2.2.2* Cool concept and smart way to dive into music charts. For those who don’t use Apple Music, why don’t you also provide Spotify and YouTube links to the songs. It’s very restrictive in the use of the app at this time. ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Surprisingly good *2025-09-16, version 2.0* This is a surprisingly cool app that’s easy to use. It’s a really cool concept that works surprisingly well. Will be using! :) ### 5/5 — Cool app *2025-09-13, version 2.0* The concept is really cool, and very streamlined. I find it really interesting to see the differences in the musical culture around the world! ### 5/5 — Great *2025-05-10, version 1.01* great ### 5/5 — Einzigartige Song App! *2025-05-05, version 1.01* Geniale Idee mit der Song Discovery über die Weltkarte. Sehr spielerisch gestaltet mit einem sehr guten Design wie man es eigentlich nur von Apple kennt! Dazu noch eine riesige Auswahl a Songs und Playlisten. Definitiv 5 Sterne! Beste Song App! ### 5/5 — Speed searching *2025-04-23, version 1.01* Great and comfortable --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
