UI isn’t compatible to iPad

Barely can set sleep timer on iPad. The timer list is only partially shown on iPad.

Poor sound

Great coverage of albums but, no matter what data connection I use (WiFi or 4g) the audio quality is terrible. It sounds ‘robotic’ and glitchy as if it’s buffering or over compressed . If I listen via the web/browser the sound is fine, so I can only conclude the problem is the app 😣

Search button is gone

Please, fix the problem on phone and pad application! There's no way to search any longer!

Essential app

Great app with a fantastic selection of music. Would be nice if it supported dark mode and interactive widgets.

login session ends too quickly

Are you afraid of people stealing money from your app? Login expires ridiculously fast. Cannot even finish a symphony
