Truly mind-boggling that this is supposed to compete with Spotify and Apple Music. Slowest user interface BY FAR (just try scrolling a long playlist), god-awful recommendations, sketchy sound quality, and essentially no differentiating features. What the heck? Adding insult to injury, it's essentially unusable on Google TV and Android Auto -- can't play entire albums without crashing and when it doesn't crash it ignores your request and just starts playing random garbage from its awful recommendation engine.

Absolute pile of trash. As usual with Google they've decided to kill a perfectly good thing (GPM) and introduce a monstrosity for absolutely no reason. The UI is trash, integration of a personal library/uploads makes no sense, playlist sorting makes no sense, alphabetization of artists is dumb (how have we not learned that bands that start with "the" don't go to T), and the functioning on the new Chromecast is abysmal. There does not seem to be a way to search just music in YTM on the Chromecast, with search results including primarily live performances rather than populating search results with albums, singles, etc. Once again, this is an absolute pile of trash. After years of refusing to use Spotify because GPM was actually a good app, I'm immediately transitioning to Spotify.

I wish Google would have taken the best aspects of Google Play Music and integrated them into YouTube music before mandating users transfer. I know change is difficult (and I am willing to continue to learn YT Music's interface), but on a mobile device (Pixel 3XL), it is frustrating to say the least. If Google, as a developer, reads this review, please consider adding the "Downloads Only" feature from Google Play Music into the YouTube music app UI. I have a laundry list of features/functions from Google Play Music I would like to see integrated into YT Music, but the most important one is "Downloads Only" feature. The ability to limit my data usage when not connected to wifi was amazing. With YouTube music, if a song that isn't downloaded to my device comes up, the app just stops playing. With everything going on, and my budget having to be stretched further and further, the ability to limit my data usage is paramount. I don't have the luxury of paying extra for an unlimited data plan right now. The one "splurge" I have every month is my YouTube Premium subscription. I can't give it up since it is the only I can continue to have a family plan. Because of this, I am not able/willing to switch to a different music service. I would hope that Google listens to its users/customers and considers what is being asked. Google has the opportunity to make the YT Music app great if it would just incorporate what people loved about the Google Play Music app. Google - please do the right thing and help your users out.
