Google Play Music App Reviews

Using it for family. Takes a little getting used to the app navigation.

I created a playlist of my own music, 388 songs. I went back into app 3 days after and noticed only about 20% of the songs downloaded. This also occurs on my iPad with Google Play Music. The app itself is great for non downloads. Streaming I have had no issues. Ive also backed up over 3,000 songs where Apple charges $25 yearly for iTunes Match, which I also pay for. Downloading music from iTunes and my playlists is flawless. My reason for 3 stars is the download for offline listening needs to be fixed. My internet speed at home is 50 MBPS, no other connected devices have issues with movies or streaming. ***Update*** Still having above issue of songs never downloading to devices. New issue as others are reporting, over 10 second delay of music starting, or playing next song after a song ends. I have a work Android phone and songs download very fast and entire playlists. Hopefully iOS version is fixed at some point.

Ever since i downloaded this app i thought it was going to be fast and play other songs. It did and its much better than pandora because pandora just plays the same things over and over again. But it keeps lagging and im getting annoyed.

Polished app and deep artist roster

Nice, easy, ... Happy to use it.

I recently switched from Android to iPhone and this version of the app doesnt alert you when you add duplicate songs to a playlist, which I find really annoying tbh.

App needs improvement , it should. E more simple to use , it has a lot of music but the app its not the best , some of my downloaded music for offline usage dont start automatically , you would have to foward the song a litle bit , i decided to give it a try over spotify other than that it works.

UI is super clean and functional. Recommendations are extremely good – it knows my tastes way better than Spotify ever did. Plus your sub removes YouTube ads. ?

Love this App, Wish it has Last.fm support!

The music selection isnt bad, but the ads are frequent and play overtop of the song that is currently playing or will play seemingly out of nowhere (when there is no music playing and app is running in the background).

I have a gigabit connection and this app takes 5-10 seconds to load each song. Most of the time it wont even load. If you skip a song while its frozen, the previous song will play. Ill stick with Spotify

Im shocked at how well this app works. Easygoing search options and decent sound. The UI is simple and easy to navigate, if you are a subscriber you will be satisfied.

Ive been using this over the Apple Music player because I can upload all my music for free and stream instead of take up space on my phone. That service is great but the app is just ok. The main issue is its buggy. Ill have a huge playlist that I am playing in sequence and it will decide to hop back to the beginning frequently. Plus frequent music stopping and will have to flip back and forth to get to play. Many problems occur with skipping or down voting a song. Recommended interface changes: -ability to hide down voted songs from ever playing. - ability to share music within family share - option to not stretch album art and instead show whole album art - show album name when playing - auto generate playlists - detect duplicate songs in playlist and give option to add or not

It stops to play the next song when you switch from Wifi to LTE, this app is not suitable when playing music while driving unless you switch off Wifi before driving away from home. You may able to play the next song after a few tries, but the sound quality is degraded for some strange reasons, even if I set the quality on high for every network conditions.

I love the service. 50,000 songs can be uploaded from my personal library (I have a lot of music) completely free. The problem is that even though the music is there it can take 10-30 seconds for a song to start, if it even does, and then it might freeze in the middle. More than once I have had to force quit the app and try again but then the app itself takes about 5 seconds to open. Its weirdly delayed. There isnt any way to edit the music tags in the app. You have to go online to manage your library.

I want to rate it 5 stars due to the concept and if I where to rate it a year ago it would be great but has progressively gotten more and more adds. The concept of being able to download and store your music for offline listening is great but when I have issues with that is when I become angry because I dont like to say apple does it better

They need to make all the new music on Friday accessible in a playlist like Spotify does. They need to quit cropping album covers. Its not artistic to show only half of what the original artist intended you to see. Chromecast casting crops it even more. A fresh discover weekly playlist would be great. Again, like Spotify. In fact, its very hard to justify using this app instead of Spotify except for that Im on the $7.99 per month deal so its a bit cheaper for me.

This versions freezes randomly after each 4-5songs. I have to hit song scroll to restart music play each time, very annoying. Please fix it.

Music downloaded from the app must be able to be downloaded/synced on the Android wear just like an android phone!
