Google Play Music App Reviews

As stated by so many others, the app plays a few seconds of music and then pauses. Also it occasionally randomly skips to he next song.

Aside from some minor interface changes, this app streams music just as well as its counterpart on android. I cant complain much, although my personally uploaded music does not play back gapless like it does on android (even on a cheap 75 dollar phone). In fact, the pause between songs is pretty long. Takes you out of the zone during a mix.

This Is an awesome app but, Sometimes I cant play music on other apps. D:

Great app. Prefer it over other streaming services for combination with YouTube Red.

Very glitchy and not responsive. Responds poorly to touch input resulting in input errors. Poor scrolling and playback performance. Does not cache previously loaded thumbnails as expected. Takes a long time to get home screen into a ready state.

Yeah I admit that I worked for Google and receiving a lot of phone calls in regards to rhis music app. Im thinking why they publish this one without testing it in the first place right? Why the admin needs to create this stupid app? To ruin all our day? Just to make money? Shame on you Google!

Ive used and loved google play music for over a year. It used to run very smooth on my ipad 3rd gen, but after the latest update its extremely slow and glitchy. Here are some things Ive noticed since the last update. - it takes a few seconds before you can scroll up and down after changing screens, as if the app has frozen - songs occasionally jump to next track partway through a song - album arwork takes exceptionally long to load in, if it ever does - artwork sometimes shows wrong picture for an album, showing artwork for other songs in the queue - attempting to play a song sometimes continues to play the currently playing song, yet the artwork and song name updates to the song you tried to play Ive uninstalled the app and reinstalled to see if it would fix the issues, but alas. Its so frustrating because Google Play music has the best selection of all the music streaming services Ive tried. It used to have the best app as well, but this one is barely usable now.

Those two girl very good!

The algorithms google uses to select songs based on a given artist are above and beyond all other internet radio services. If it werent for the glitchy app, then Id give it 5 stars. The radio is truly the best in the game. Its turned me on to all kinds of new music that I never found on Apple or spotify

Has so far been the most reliable music app even vs any native app If it keeps it up it will be my main media app

The Google Play Music app forcibly unpauses if you pause during an ad. It is reasonable that a music app would require the listener to play back a full ad before moving to the next song, but it is not reasonable that the ad can’t be paused part way through. Unpausing audio and forcing sound out of the user’s speakers is actively hostile against the user and crosses a line that, in my case, resulted in immediate deletion of this app. Nothing about the size of the music library, the quality of playlist curation, etc. factors into consideration for review as long as this practice is in place.

There are occasional glitches like some of the other reviews say, but I could easily get over that if I had the ability to change songs or at least adjust the volume with my Apple Watch. Im holding out hope for that.

delete my thumbs up list again and i will end your app

Better than the rest

Really good

App stops playing when the apps plays in the background. You got to re open app and keep hitting play in order for the player to start playing music again. VERY ANNOYING. This needs to be fixed ASAP.

Good app. Only issue is when streaming music library it takes a long time for music to play. And it drains the battery really fast

I have exclusively used Google play music for the past several years. The latest update broke the app so that music would freeze after 10 seconds or so. I was able to get around this by reinstalling the app. Unfortunately that meant re downloading my library. The download function seems broke. I connect to wifi and nothing happens the songs just sit there waiting to download. Pita

Songs take a bit to load even on fast wifi. 5 stars for improvement? Speed and bugs are just about it:) there is no way to subscribe from an iPhone:(

I switched to an iPhone from a Samsung S7 and now everything is wrong with google play music the music will pause and it doesnt have the same features it has on the samasung I think google play should fix google play music for the iPhone bc people are still paying yall money for your music app so the least yall can do is give us good quality just as if this was a Samsung
