Google Play Music App Reviews

I really really REALLY like the interface for Google Play Music. It is a little more minimal than Spotify or Apple Music, a little less busy if you will. The web interface for desktop is slick and fast. Knocks the socks off competitors. Would love to see “add albums from this artist to my library” feature. Uploading my own music is easier than Apple Music. Love how well that works. Things that would make it 5-Star: Logical album sorting: Search for a band - you get one illogical way of sorting an album. Tap the band and you get another illogical sorting. I’d prefer albums be sorted chronologically with singles separated from full-lengths and EP’s. Last.fm Integration: I’d like to be able to scribble to Last.Fm natively (both web and iOS). Better Search History: I search for the band “The Black Dahlia Murder” 4 times a day. When I start typing ‘bl’ I’d like to have my recent search pull up. I think it tries to do this but fails. Daily Playlists: basically copy Spotify’s feature that mixes a genre of your recent listens with a sprinkle of new stuff for you. GPM: I’d be willing to help improve the iOS versions any way I can! I have a background in coding and could probably implement most of my feature requests.

I pay you money for this?? And now radio station downloads are gone?! What happens over at google? Do you all just sit there strategizing ways to dig up and further assault the corpse of Songza? You bought it, ruined it, and now proceed to desecrate it more with every sad update? How can this app be such a constant, perpetual disaster? UPDATE: App still has major problems and new ones introduced with each update, but isnt it interesting how you can no longer see reviews separated by version history? Reviews for up to two years ago have nothing to do with the myriad of issues and flaws introduced in various "updates" since. Be wary.

Constantly pauses without actually hitting the pause button. I have to hit pause then play to get it to work again. Sometimes it gets frozen.

Used to be my go to music app but the constant freezing, inability to play downloaded albums while doing other stuff on the phone, and constant buggy issues have now made it unusable for me.

It’s great. Plenty of variety. Good speed. Only problem I have is when I plug my iPhone 5s into my car via USB port in my stereo, it gets stuck in the middle of playing and just says loading on the screen of stereo. Or sometimes it’ll stop playing google music and start playing Apple Music. Overall, really good. And getting better.

I LOVE THIS

Keeps on pausing on its own when I open another app or open this app itself

UPDATED REVIEW: App has drastically gone down hill. I love Google Play Music but the iOS app is a disaster. Always stopping and crashing. Old review: Google Play Music is the best music service available. Ive tried Spotify, Pandora, iTunes, etc., and Play Music is by far the best. Paid subscription is compatible to iTunes pricing, however, Play Music comes bundled with YouTube Red (which is $9.99 a month by itself). For one price you get Play Music and YouTube Red, which means ad free music AND videos. YouTube without ads is glorious. Plus, you can upload up to 50,000 songs to the Play cloud to stream to up to 10 of your devices. The Family plan is great. $16 for 6 members. Each member can upload 50,000 songs and stream to 10 devices. Its as if each member has their own account. Its awesome.

I switched from android to apple for a bit and was glad they had a app for my music but it has one bug that I’ve noticed and really bothers me it happens whenever I open up the app and I have music playing the music will just cut off idk if I’m the only who has this but it sure kills my listening experience when your music just turns off

I love the selection and diversity of this apps library. My only complaint is it tends to replay the same song or artist on shuffle to the point where I think that it is just replaying a forced play list. Also when I start skipping song sometimes it pauses the music or just shuts down completely. That’s the big one. Other than that it’s awesome. And if you get the YouTube red deal it is super cheap as a bundle.

Yesterday Google Play was working perfectly and after I updated to iOS11 the app started to get buggy. Only problem: Every time I leave or bring up the app, the music stops playing. It can be quite frustrating especially when I listen to music while I’m at work and I’m focused and it stops playing when I turn the phone off

The app is even more buggy than previous versions. App crashes incessantly now, even with local music. App unusable

These two apps are pretty much the same except for ONE BIG DIFFERENCE... Apple Music offers the lyrics to songs by clicking the properties of the song youre playing... right at your finger tips... Google we need to get with the times!!!! Theres no reason not to offer lyrics when you have them available on your google search engine as if it were coming from google music. Why not integrate this capability to Google Play Music while listening? Its very inconvenient to have to get out of the app to go to the search engine to search for lyrics... lyrics that apparently lead me right back to Google Play. Seems like a simple connection on the Google Play Music interface?! Dont you think? This is a deal breaker for me... as much as I love Google Play Music I may have to move on... It doesnt make any sense when you clearly have it available...!!! Ill come back to give it 5 stars once this problem is fixed...

Please support Apple Watch! Thank you!

I’m literally about to unsubscribe and uninstall because every time I go to another app, open this app, or press the power button the music stops playing

Update the resolution for iPad pro 10.5

Love google music but iOS app is terrible. No equalizer and music sometimes stop randomly.

I will be listening to music and it will stop, the app will crash and my phone will go blank like its turned off.

I like the app, but you cant find or listen to podcasts on it from what I can tell
