Ratings and reviews

I think it's a great idea but the app doesn't let me sign in at all. I set up a username and password and signed in but it still asks me to sign in or sign up. I've reinstalled it several times. I've been trying for a few days. Without being able to use the normal features like favoriting songs this app is pretty boring and pointless. I would love to change my rating if I could actually explore this app.

Love the music and have used hypem since high school. Unfortunately the app has never been perfect. Frequently crashes for no apparent reason when playing music in the background. Ocasionally gets stuck while trying to load a song and requires a restart or two. Still paying cause the idea is great.

Update: I've been using the app extensively for years and love all of the fresh music. They fixed all of my complaints from my last review years ago. Thanks for all the work! --- The app will stop playing music after a couple tracks if left in the background. I have to constantly go back to the app to resume playing. Also, sad to see the ads even after I paid for the app before it went free.

What's new
