Ratings and reviews

I really wish my "downloaded" music didn't constantly get frozen in buffering. Every hour or so I have to take out my phone and skip a song that refuses to play. Even if it wasn't downloaded I have great signal most of the time, so it's obviously a problem with their UI/music player. It's been broken for the last five years, so I doubt it'll get fixed any time soon.

Audio and algo are good but I like the UI for Spotify better, apple music feels a lot more clunky. I also don't like that you can't use the app on mobile as a controller for other devices on android. The app is also not optimized for Android in general. I often have to restart my whole phone because apple music refuses to play my music, which is especially annoying when I'm driving. So, I have to wait until my car comes to a complete stop to restart my phone and GPS just to listen to music. 👎

When I last used Apple Music on Android in 2015, the app barely worked and I quickly gave up with it. In 2026, it is far better and at the time of writing I am on a 3 month free trial, but I am seriously considering keeping it after. I do wish it was able to locate and play on device music which would make things a lot easier for me, rather than having another app to do this specific task.
