Ratings and reviews

pros: pretty much any song or podcast you can think of is on here. it's decently user-friendly and the user interface is well-designed. cons: good GOD the ads are obnoxious. unless you have premium, you get hit with anywhere between 1-5+ ads after 2 songs, and random songs will start playing occasionally too because playlists don't loop back to the beginning. the player gets buggy and audio will stop playing for no reason randomly, and you have to reopen the app to fix it.

Adpocalypse; It used to be my favorite music app, but apparently they're determined to push their paid version. Hadn't used it in a while for tunes. Just Rogan and podcasts like that. Those are fine. However, when playing music it will literally play 2, maybe 3 songs then 4 ads. Rinse and repeat. Really makes for an annoying experience, especially since it is the same ads over and over. I'm done using it for music. This is why I buy CDs. Yes, I'm that guy. Whatever, no ads on my ol MP3 player.

Spotify is a wannabe social media app now. The user interface, especially in regards to podcasts, severely hinders navigation and finding what I need. It is not useful at all to scroll down music or podcasts "pages" one by one. Especially when much of it is unsolicited recommendations. The sound and video previews are also distracting. I wish I had kept my version of this app from about a year ago and never updated it.
