Google Play Music App Reviews

Fine but multiple bugs

It’s a good music app! Can download for offline and all the yada-yada. But there are 3 things that annoy me: 1) Sometimes I’ll download a single from an album but then a little while later download the whole album. It doesn’t download the single(s) I already download and instead creates separate albums; 1 for the singles and 1) for the rest of the album. So I have the same album separated into 2 separate albums. 2) NEED to filter out the censored content. C’mon now! Nothing worse than listening to the censored version except maybe unknowingly downloading the censored version and being unable to fix it 3) This is perhaps the most annoying, but when I delete songs from a playlist, it won’t delete the song I swipe to delete. It will delete either the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd song above the song I select. It completely baffles me

No support for iMessage/Sharing?

I noticed that there was no functionality for sharing music, links, or even iMessage. This would be a great feature! Coming previously from Android, I was able to share a link to the song so that even those without the Google Play Music app could see what I shared.

Great App But Only One Problem

Love the app and have been using for over a year or maybe two now, but lately i have been running into this problem that when i want to delete something out of a playlist it deletes the song that is one or two above it. This frustrates me because then i have to figure out how to get the song deleted that i actually wanted to delete and add the new song back and on top of that remembering what song i deleted out of the many in my playlist l. If this bug is fix it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks You.

Needs an overhaul

I love this service, and the attractive subscription model with YouTube Red. I love the fact that I can upload my library to the cloud and have it anywhere with me. Small things that get annoying: • UI needs a facelift. This real outdated layout on the Now Playing screen zooms in to fit the center of the artwork into the vertical layout of the screen. Why even display artwork at that point? The controls could use a little space, or you could add more options down there if you simply made the artwork a standard square. • Search bar is real dumb. The recent search terms that come up are titles and names I looked up once months ago. What’s the point of that? • Even if an album or playlist is offlined, the app will fail to load it in a low coverage area, or even if the app is set to Downloaded Only. Why even have the option to download or display only downloaded music if we can only sometimes access it in low coverage? Tiny little updates could make this app even better than Spotify but lack of attention to detail is holding this app back.

Delete the right songs

I can’t delete the song I want gone from my playlist, it’s very frustrating to have a song you want gone from your playlists but the song you don’t want is still there. This needs to be fix it’s not helping anything at all

Its OK, needs a ton of work

Hey Google! This time dont erase my review! Ive had to write several reviews now and its getting rather shady of you. So stop it! One thing I wish is that the album art wasnt zoomed in. It makes the interface look absolutely horrible and the zooming is so bad on some albums that you cant make out anything on the album. Another gripe is how awful the UI is. Skipping songs is terrible. Sometimes when you skip songs it will pause for like 10-20 seconds, not play the next song but start the song right after that. And sometimes it just doesnt play the next song at all. You have to press play and then it wont play that song but the next one. This app has been around since long before Apple Music yet Apple is king over Google in regards to this app, UI and playability. When I had Apple Music, I could skip a song and the next song would play in a second or two. With Play Music there is that issue above and the lag and music pauses and error messages and the app just quitting that I wonder if Play Music is truly a Google product. I thought Google was innovative and knew what they were doing? Guess not. This app is definitely not ready for primetime. Cant wait to restart Apple Music again. I miss an actual, working music player. Even Spotify is way better than this!

Unable to sign in

Hey, It’s not working on my iPhone SE :/ it says “it’s easy to get an account. Search for google play music and sign up on our website.” BUT, i already have a google account. And also signed in too. What might be the problem?

Removal

When I try to delete a song from my play list it deletes random songs and not the song I want removed

Really Needs an Update!

The service is great. Plus, when you subscribe (in the US) you get YouTube Red, too. So much more content than through a service like Spotify. However, Spotifys interface is light years better. Cant search playlists for specific songs, cant order playlists differently (on mobile), interface is buggy and laggy (on iPhone X). Again, the incredible amount of content you get access to makes it worth, but it would be an easy 5 stars if the apps presentation was better. I know you have it in you, Google.

Autoplay

Hello, just wondering if Google play has an auto play feature/option when the app is launched/opened? Any feedback would be amazing. Love the app by the way.

Wont Play Whole Playlist

Will play an entire playlist on my phone, once I cast to a google home speaker group it only plays the same 5 songs out of a 30 song playlist. New problem. Very disappointed I bought these google home speakers.

They lie

Google will show you what it wants you to see. They will try to control you and you research. They know where you go and they see you went you’ve been good or bad. Just as Santa, google is there. To know everything about you, and sell it.

Chromecast music connection broken

Used to work great, but since last update iOS app refuses to connect. A Buick beep to indicate its trying, then immediately disconnects. Multiple reboots of router and devices as well as resorting to factory reset of all devices has not resolved. Chromecast device has valid IP, and is seen in the home app as ready to cast, but will not connect. Canceling play service and relegating Chromecast device to basement box of flawed tech.

Love the app

I’ve been using this app for like 7/8 years. I have the family plan and my family all love it as well. The only ask I have, is to create and app for the Apple Watch. Since you can now download music to listen offline, that’ll work for ppl that only have a Bluetooth watch. But if you have connected you can listen both ways. I’d like to leave my phone when I’m working out.

Great app just needs the podcast genre

I have had the subscription going on 3 years now and love it cause it allows me to listen on any device I want; computer, phone, over my car, on my laptop. anywhere I want. But feel like I’m missing out cause I like to listen to podcasts while I drudge out my day out at work. But can’t Listen to my podcasts on my favorite audio streaming service

Probably the buggiest app on my phone

Is so inconsistent it makes me consider cancelling my subscription. Scrolling through song lists is jumpy. Intermittently decides to not cast to my Google home speaker. Has trouble downloading playlists for offline playback. The list goes on. 2 stars because it exists.

Playlist Issue

I enjoy most of what this app has to offer, but creating playlists can be a pain. Other apps allow you to add multiple songs into a playlist at once, but Play requires you to add individual songs one at a time which takes forever and can be frustrating. Hopefully they fix this, but otherwise it is worth using this app.

only use since i pay for youtube red

it has lots of content but i do not get the ease and fluidity i had with spotify premium

fix playlist edits

annoying that everytime you edit playlists and move songs around they go right back to how they were when you oress “done”

Crashes

I like the app but sometimes the music I have in my library crashes when I download it for offline play. I will restart the app and still have this issue.
