Ratings and reviews

Overall app is decent. Good catalog, easy user experience. Taking off two stars because 1) the algorithm is pretty mediocre. Difficult to hear new music, it tries to replay you the same songs over and over again to where. Sometimes you have to thumbs down a song just to get it out of playlist. 2) They added what they think is a feature a few months ago where if you open the app it overrides whatever is casting already -terrible experience if two adults live in the same house and listen to music.

Google Play music was way better. The radio features always play the same obscure bands but don't add much variety. It's also difficult to skip songs with the menu collapsed (you have to make it full-screen). There are a few other things about layout that annoy me, but it all may just be personal preference. Now that they're copying Netflix's family plan nonsense of having to live in the same household I will definitely be switching to a better service.

Simply put, the app has improved over the years. But for right now, until the annoying casting recommendation bar over the album artwork is removed, this review will remain 1 star for this invasive and poorly designed feature. Edit: issues remain and algorithm has seen zero improvements. Only use this app if you like exactly 5 songs and don't ever want to hear another
