Ratings and reviews

Great information, great quality, buggy as can be - worst issue is that the app often (nearly always) loses my place when paused, restarting a track and sometimes a whole piece. It would also be nice to be able to cast, though Bluetooth serves as a workable substitute, and the lack of downloading is unfortunate. But the pause issue is bafflingly stupid for such a simple function.

Exceptional streaming service, horrible Android app. I am stuck using it because no other streaming service comes close but the level of bugs and missing features is embarrassing. Most frequently it will lose your spot or display a track that's not playing. Major missing features: Offline downloads Android Auto Audio casting I realize the app is probably better on iPhone but the horrible Android app is inexcusable when I'm paying a monthly subscription.

Good, not very sturdy. There are some great explanations of classical music styles, almost like a podcast, but if you pause them (or any track) it starts over. I get that android is not Apple, but why not add a reliable pause feature? Sometimes the play button is unreliable.
