Very disappointing
- Really bad stuttering, especially while scrolling. This doesn’t happen on any other app on my phone, but framerate drops alarmingly when scrolling through songs
- Album art doesn’t show up in offline mode when you bring it into the full screen playback mode (swiping up from the song on the bottom). I understand that this may save space to just download the thumbnails, but seriously no option to let them work in offline mode? It can’t be that much space....
- No option to download songs by themself for some reason. They have to be part of a downloaded playlist or you have to download the entire album
- The “songs” tab is confusing. It looks like it shows all of the songs you have but aren’t in playlists (but can be downloaded as an album). It’s confusing
- When you are not in offline mode, the time scrubbing bar in the lock screen rarely works. Usually it just sits at 0:00 even though music is playing.
- Lots of other bugs like the one above, especially with the lock screen widget. Very unpredictable.
Honestly, this is very disappointing for something from Google. I haven’t used a single app more slow and buggy than this. I hope Google gets their act together with their mobile apps.
