YouTube Music App Reviews

Good app. One Dealbreaker Flaw. This app is pretty cool. It has a ton of music, videos, playlist, etc. I was even impressed at the fact that if you play an album such as Pink Floyd for example there is no to second pause between the songs. Everything flows from one to the next as it should. What drives me absolutely crazy about this app however is that on any artist, playlist, or song that you start with clicking shuffle is not really shuffling in random order.I put on a huge playlist for workouts and click shuffle, however I quickly realized that it shuffles in the same preset orderEvery time. If I click shuffle 20 times today and two days from now click shuffle 20 times again on the same playlist it will be the same exact first song, second song, third song etc. My understanding is that this has been a complaint for years and has not been fixed. It’s enough for me to quit premium service.

Well It Plays Music. Only came to this app because they shut down Google Play Music, which was the best music app around. And since they transferred my playlists, I switched. However, when you choose a band or genre for their radio feature, it plays the most basic, popular, every song you’ve ever heard playlist possible, and only goes for so long then repeats all those same songs again. And if you choose any band from the 80’s, plays all the same songs. Any band from the 90’s, plays the same songs, and so forth. Then when it can’t figure out what songs to play, it throws random songs in the playlist that don’t even match the radio you chose. Definitely not run by musicians. Just plays to the crowd of basic people that just want to hear the same songs over and over. Please figure this out. When I chatted with them about this poor feature, they just said go into my history and delete the songs I don’t want to hear. So obviously not understanding because they probably don’t listen to music. Fix it google

One “tiny” complaint. Ok, so this app is great if you just wanna listen to music, which I like to do. So I opened the app, and it asked my if I wanted to start my free trial. I said no, because I wanted to save it. Then I exited the app because I didn’t want to use it yet. So that happened yesterday, and when I went on the app today, it said my free trial was ending soon. I checked if I had Premium, and apparently I did. Why did it give me Premium? I didn’t want to use the free trial yet. When I had YT Music on my old iPad, it let me choose when I wanted to use the free trail. And the “Try Premium today” thing doesn’t have a exit button. The only thing you can do is press the button, or exit the app. Apparently both result in YT Premium now, so either it’s a glitch, or on purpose. Anyway, beside this wall of one complaint, the app is pretty good. I like how you can shuffle the playlist and it recommends you more songs. Well, have a good day.

It was bad, yet i gave it another try, it is still bad or even worst. Ok. Google is a huge company. Their experience that this specific service offers is so inadequate and even frustrating for a company this big. Do not sign up for the “free” month premium tryout. They will charge you a month ahead within a couple of days (you’re basically stuck with it for 2 months, and if you like it, great, but if you don’t, well here we are). And if you do it through iTunes, it is impossible, I mean impossible, to request a refund on google’s platform, although of course google being mediocre and buggy as they are (their stuff is just buggy all the time, they can’t ever charge for it), they do not explain how to. You have to go through iTunes to request a refund. Just listen to their commercials keep clicking in “still watching” buttons which are so dumb, and go about your business without having to pay for Google services with dollars; instead keep paying for them with your privacy, and ad time as you always have done lol.

Poor substitute. The company offered free music storage to its users, in exchange users agreed to allow Google to use the music they uploaded to build their music library. Google took note of similar artists a user might listen to and built their recommendation engine off of that data. They acquired competitors solely to put them out of business and eliminate the competition. They stifled innovation at every turn, and users kept quiet because they still felt the relationship was mutually beneficial. But as soon as Google had milked as much date from the users libraries as they could, they eliminated the service, and in its place coughed up this garbage that in no way is an equal substitute for what they killed. Now if you want to listen to your music that you spent years cultivating and curating, you either need to pay up $150 a year, or listen to an advertisement after every single song, with no ability to cache music for offline play. Are you an advertising business ? A music streaming company? A phone manufacturer? You can’t be all of the above and still prioritize the best interest of the customer.

Very glitchy. Endlessly stuck downloading one of my playlists at 99%. Most of it is already downloaded. Actually sometimes it takes a while to update the playlist and download newer songs. Can’t remove songs from collaborative playlists if not owner. Also it doesn’t always display the right song playing. For example. It’s playing thriller by Michael Jackson but in the notifications it says some other song. Also while connected to my cars aux it always repeats songs at least once. Can’t turn it off even if the setting is off. It’s not always compatible with the Ford Focus software. Also I should mention that I’m on free trial. So basically premium. But it’s not worth real money. Also you can’t search songs in downloaded. For example I downloaded 2000 songs and I want to find music by Yung Gravy, I can’t search for it. Also sometimes the “play next” list is glitched and doesn’t show. Also I made a Siri shortcut where it plays a playlist but it’s the same order everytime. There’s no option to shuffle

1 thing. I’ve been a longtime user and the best thing about YT Music is that you can access/play songs that aren’t available on any of the other platforms through videos from YT. They can be added to playlists just like any other track. That’s really the only advantage they have over the comp. I’ve tried a lot of the other popular streaming services but always come back to YT Music after finding that a decent amount of the music I listen to is unavailable. For me, that’s a big deal. 4 star worthy. The rest of the app & experience - meh. The recommendations/music discovery are average but on par with the other services. The “Start Radio” is hit or miss but rarely continues the musical theme that initiated the process. It’ll also use songs already in my library or playlist. But every now and then, the YT gods will bless me with a gem. I really wish they would allow search strictly within a playlist and enable some sort of light mode. Shuffle is mediocre and seems to recycle the same order pretty regularly.

Consistently Inconsistent. As a delivery driver, it’s nice to have some music while working. Also as a delivery driver, I’m constantly getting in and out of my car for pickups and deliveries and also have to plug in and unplug my phone from my Apple CarPlay every time. And every single time I unplug then plug in my phone, this app shuts down and doesn’t keep my queue in music playlists. Sometimes I will be unplugged for a minute or two and even then, it restarts the app and I’ll have to restart my playlists again over and over. 90% of the time it does this, the other 10% is when it miraculously stays open without refreshing. I like the app because it’s good to have it with the benefit of my premium subscription. I hope I’m not the only one who experiences this. It’s real frustrating that this app can be this incompetent and unreliable, doesn’t help make the premium subscription worth it either. I just wish they fixed this.

Save to play list. On the front page, same as play and forward there should be a button to save this song to the playlist. She don’t have to go into the and use passcode to enter the phone so you can save a song it should be done on the first page as well It’s unfortunate that you cannot go to the previous song that is a very stupid not to be able to go back to the previous song or the previous track it is a ridiculous that you have to go to history to find the last song that you were playing what kind ofGenius had that idea to take away rewind the previous track please fix that I have problems please play my playlist Recently Playing music from my playlist. If eight play this has 400 songs and plays maybe 30 or 40 of them app constantly repeats the same and music. It doesn’t go through the whole 400 songs are in the playlist.

Great app with a good amount of bugs that mess up the greatness of the app.. Another song now unavailable to play only on my playlist, like I can search it up and it’s there and fine to listen to but my playlist refuses to see it as a valid song. On top of that videos are being converted to the original audio which could be good if I wanted it done but when I’m listening to two songs mashed up I don’t want the mash up to be converted into the regular song that’s first in the mash up. We get it you can tell where the songs originated from but I wanna hear my mash up. Only other thing I have to complain about is the song I’m listening to not showing up on the playing now screen, it’s usually the whole playlist switching songs despite one being playing(all visuals but still annoying) that or the song I’m trying to play isn’t the one being played when I click on that song in my playlist. I could provide more detailed counts of everything I listed if the devs need it but this app is really great in terms of catalog and variety, it’s in desperate need of a hot fix.

Musi. Lost playlist. The app is fine, amazing even, but I only got this app because I used to have the app called Musi. Interestingly I still had access to the app even though it was deleted off the AppStore although I had forgotten about that and decided to offload the app since it wasn’t working due to internet connection and thought that would fix it since I’m impatient. I wouldn’t be as bothered if it wasn’t that there is 1 playlist on that app I truly care about and it’s a playlist called “fav songs” it’s had over 2000+ songs in that playlist over the years. All I want is to have that playlist back or just a few screenshots of the all the songs in that playlist so I can add them here. I honestly don’t expect that yall even have the ability to do that since yall don’t exactly own the app it would just be nice to recover my playlist again. On the other hand, I do love the app as it’s a similar format I’m used to. I’m just grieving over my old playlist since it was only a few days ago lol. But if yall can or can’t actually do that I’d like to know in a feedback response to this if that isn’t too much to ask. Anyways have a lovely day!

Good but definitely has some issues. I’ve been using YT music for years, its pretty nice. But… I do have issues where I can remove songs off playlist or even edit them. Like it will let me do it and I’ll save, but it never truly saves. Also weirdly I’ll have it glitch out and close the app half way through a song on my playlist. Then for some reason the app always wants to start the song halfway through the song where it glitched out. So I have to keep setting the playtime to 0 every time I play that song. Don’t know how to fix it, tried looking it up and well I can’t find any way to solve this issue. So I went on the YTmusic website and removed the song that way. I tried adding it back on my playlist to see if it would fix and it didn’t. Another thing that’s weird when I use the website the song doesn’t start half way through but the app still does. It makes me sad.. :(

The Power of Music. Music has always been important to me. When I was very young my parents introduced me to Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and Patsy Cline along with many other great musicians. They planted that seed before I could talk. Later I discovered Three Dog Night and “Jeremiah Was A Bullfrog,” Neil Diamond and “Crackling Rosie”, (which my mother broke my record because she thought Neil was saying, “ Crabby Old Lady!) Then came “Sugar on Sunday” and “I Think We’re Alone Now”, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Blue Oyster Cult and of course you know the rest! Music has been my best friend throughout my life. It moves me, it motivates me, it makes me cry, “Eleanor Rigby”… I didn’t mean to write a book here, I have made music important to my children (5), and my grandchildren, (11), I am 65 and I plan on teaching my great grandchildren the joy of music. Thank you for all the wonderful music you have given me the privilege to explore and enjoy!

Quality of life here is utter garbage. It’s a functional app. That’s the best I can say. Music is stored on here and you can listen to it. The library is about the standard with the bonus of being able to save videos for the tracks you can’t find. But the good stuff ends there. Opening the app brings you to a home with your playlists. Psyche. It takes you a page featuring “listen again” and auto-generated playlists. You have to click to go to your library, then select playlists or albums from there. It’s not the end of the world but it gets tedious. Speaking of albums, it only registers you as having the album if you save the ENTIRE album. If you just have one song it won’t show up. The biggest offender is how playlists work. In them you can search for tracks to add or take auto-generated suggestions. However you CANNOT simply go through your library and check every song you want to add. You have to add every single song manually. And it’s more tedious than you can imagine.

Clunky app. “Offline” downloads aren’t.. I’ve paid for a subscription for this app for several years and it’s improvements have been marginal, at best. In a word, this app is clunky. On it’s face, it’s a basic app that plays music. But it doesn’t even do that well. For instance… If you dislike a song, you would think that the app wouldn’t play that song for you ever again. After all, this is a premium subscription you’re paying for, not a trial. You can skip through songs, but best believe the app will continue to recommend that song or play it for you, despite still showing your previously “thumbs down” review of it. Among the things especially bothersome about this app are the fact that you have to be connected to the internet to listen. You would think that if you “downloaded” a song or an album that it would be available to play offline, right? Wrong. The app just buffers until you get cell service again before it will start playing anything. Lastly, of those “downloaded” songs, you have to hit PLAY with each song-it won’t automatically play the next song in your downloaded list, EVEN IF you’re listening to an album! Have the developers of this app never used another music app? This should be common sense/basic functions for a music app like this… Do better.

Good Google Play music transfer, other things to improve. I’m super happy they finally allowed the transfer of our Google Play music playlists, but using this as my main music app is going to need a few improvements if I’m being honest. First, the app can be glitchy when loading info the current song playing, and sometimes I have to close the app fully to get it to work. Secondly, if you are going to have a feature of having lyrics built into the app, please update it to where you know any song made within the last 30-40 years at the minimum will load no matter the genre or artist, no matter how popular or not the song is (in it’s current state it feels like a beta rather than a fully released music app.) I enjoy it overall but am looking forward to improvements moving forward.

Needs improvement.. I love this app. I have a couple comments that I hope are heard for the sole purpose of improving this already great music listening experience. I would like to see an option to “save a radio station” based on a song you started a station on. Also - I think the AI needs a major tweak. I’ve always felt like once you start a radio station and - you LOVE it - until this one song comes on that you really don’t like - and you select thumbs down - then every song after is just worse and worse. The logic after a thumbs down should go back to original radio station request track. It shouldn’t start playing weird and different tracks. I listen to songs I don’t like because if I skip them I know the whole station logic is ruined.

Is song available or not?!. It’s annoying how a song I had downloaded becomes unavailable, without me knowing, but what I really can’t stand is when a now unavailable song stops my whole shuffle play. When a song is no longer available it’s there, but it’s not there? Like if I have my downloaded music playing on shuffle & a song isn’t available anymore, I guess it’s still in my downloads & when it comes to that song it’ll just stop playing. Half the time I am not near my phone or have it on me, especially when I’m working. Then I have to stop what I’m doing, walk to it, or climb down a hill just to switch songs. If it’s not available, then it should automatically be deleted or at least not make my music playing come to a halt! Why can’t it just skip that song & keep going?! Happens all the time! So frustrating!!

Good but not perfect. I like the app I’ve used it for a while and can say there are definitely a few problems. You can’t listen to your music in the background meaning you have to leave your phone open on the app at all times in order to listen to music (Unless you have premium). The app’s pretty buggy too not playing songs without having to close and reopen the app or just stopping the song entirely. It doesn’t help that the app ask me to buy premium everytime I close the app willingly or not. Also why are some songs unable to save to my playlist because “This action is turned off for content made for kids?” Like bruv I just want to listen to The Power Rangers: S.P.D extended intro but I can’t even do that because it’s “Made for kids” when did we start restricting who can save what music to their playlist?

To Admins. As a premium member I have a humble request, I would greatly appreciate if you add a repeat button on the songs which never ends, I am a professional singer and many times during the day I want to listen the same song again and again and again while doing something else with my hands, if there is repeat button then u just press it once and it will repeat by itself unless you press it again, I would love to have that, also the same feature like utube has, where u can do forward or backward a song 10 sec, 20 sec or 40 secs. We do it manually now by sliding the slider, I would be more than happy. Hope my humble request will reach to you. I can say that you guys are doing a great job by maintaining utube and utube music app, it is a great service to humanity. Keep it up. My Best regards M Talwar

The new update created a new bug. So, supposedly instead of fixing the “only one song in a DOWNLOADED playlist when not using the app while before driving “ it now crashes in the middle of the first song just when the car is barely moving to a certain speed. It doesn’t do that if your listening to music while working or just chilling, only on a moving car. Also the random button doesn’t really randomize the music in the playlist. I noticed this whenever it lands on certain songs and it starts playing on a particular order. I missed how you can just press the randomizer button to get random songs. Now it only randomizes every other press, losing the point of the button. And when you have the randomize button on and you do something else for a bit before coming back to the app, it’ll unrandomize itself, losing whatever particular order it had when it was randomize. Please go back to the previous patch til you fix this! I don’t like listening to the radio while driving.

This app is below average. Using this app since it’s replacing google play. I don’t like that it takes forever to connect to my Bluetooth it seems to always have a lag and the music buffers in the beginning too. I never experienced this with google play. Maybe the music videos are still loading in the background even though it’s on “music only” mode. I also really dislike that my music never picks up where it left off when I’m done. I have to manually go and search for my song every time I restart my car or anytime I come back to the app really. I’ve tried not closing the app on my home screen but it didn’t make a difference. Sometimes my playlists can get long and searching for a song toward the middle is annoying. I do like that I can find any song that’s on YT on here though, sometimes google play would not offer songs YT music has offered. This app is constantly crashing for me after a year of using it now and I am not impressed by any of their updates so far

Basic features are a failure. I truly don't understand how this app is rated so well. It fails in the most basic of ways, making using it a continually frustrating experience. When viewing Library by Artist, instead of showing the Albums by that artist like every music app ever, including Google Play Music, it just lists all the songs by that artist. "YT Music" and "Uploads" are separated when. Looking at your library, so you have to look in two different places to see all the content from a single artist. Loop preference does not persist between queues, so when you start a new album or playlist, if you want it to loop, you have to select that EACH TIME. You can view Downloads just fine if you have service, but if you're in a low service area, the app will just sit at a loading screen forever, blocking access to everything, unless you turn on airplane mode. It's a mess. The only marginal improvement on Google Play Music has been consistent album art when in offline mode (it'd just disappear in GPM for some reason). This app needs SO MUCH WORK and seems to have been designed by a team that has never worked on this type of app before, or simply doesn't get UX at all. Being forced to replace GPM with this is incredibly frustrating.

App displaying wrong song. This is probably one of the best music apps that I have used because it is so easy to use and the music catalog is truly unmatched. However, there is a couple things that need to be addressed before this is the PERFECT app. One being that if you are playing music for an extended period of time, the app has a tendency of not letting you be able to skip to the next song (even if you are a premium user) and the only way to get it back to normal is to exit and close the app entirely and then open it again. Sometimes it works the first time and other times you have to repeat that process which is pretty annoying. Another annoying thing is that when you go to listen to a playlist for a few minutes to a few hours, sometimes the songs you want to play won’t play at all, instead it will play the very FIRST song that you have added to that playlist. Even if you get the song you want to play to actually start playing, the artist and song that you have as the first song in your playlist with now be the name of the song that you’re playing (even though it’s clearly not the one you wanted to listen to!) Either that or the picture/album cover will be messed around in that same aspect. Kind of a long read, I know, but these are a few of the visual and auditorial issues you may come across while using this app and I truly wish that these would get addressed. Like I said earlier it would be the PERFECT music app if these were fixed!

No new songs, not worth the money for membership. No good song recommendations, all it does is play your like songs over and over, and then finally when you get a new song it usually not a good one some weird type of stuff that just isn’t worth the membership, and to top it off you shouldn’t need to pay to have music in the back ground I should be able to have my phone off without a membership, honestly if they did that it would probably bring in a lot more people so that’s an idea and if no one likes it to bad this is an honest review and this is only my opinion not anyone else’s but it’s not a good music app, unless you have money, and even then it’s challenging to find new and good songs, which is just a pure disappointment., edit: changed from 3 star to 1 star app is to frustrating, this is just ridiculous if I could would give a .5 star if possible

Used to love this app. I can’t stand this app anymore. I’m half tempted to cancel my subscription and go somewhere else for my music even though all of my music is here. Most of the time I can’t even play through one song without it crashing and force closing itself. Which isn’t a big deal if it does it every now and then but it’s not. I use this app every single day and throughout the day it crashes about 30-40 time for me. And it’s never once then you get a break. When it does crash and you reopen the app to restart your music for you drive in the car and it will crash 4 or 5 time back to back. And naturally it will only do it about halfway through the song. And I have talked to some people that I know personally that use this app for music as well and they are experiencing the same problems. If this were my app I’d be ashamed to have my name on it. Absolutely pitiful.

Waste of time and space!. There are so many things wrong with this app! While playing a song and switch to the video option the song will start over randomly. When going back to song option the album/song image will be larger than allowed seeing only a partial image and won’t let me close the screen. Have to manually close app and reopen. When shuffle playing liked songs and I scroll through the list and play a song the next song played will be whatever is first in the list. When I skip the song using the arrow button it still shows the same song playing when a different song is actually playing. App will randomly close out and I have to reopen it manually and start all over again. Widget doesn’t show anything on it, only a filled outline in black of the of the overall widget dimensions and a smaller square in grey where the album/song image would be. I’m assuming, don’t know cause I can’t see it. Does this for any one of the widget types. This is what I can think of off the top of my head.

Great music. I love this app so much, it gives you such great music and a hole bunch of great artists, it gives you like a couple day free triel which is fine I enjoy that a lot. The one thing though is that sometimes it can give you a like 1 minute long add and you can’t skip, sometimes it doesn’t bother me but that’s the one thing that gets me, this app also has a lot of my favorite artists like Sabrina carpenter, Juice Wrld, etc. for all those 1 star reviews, I don’t think your telling the truth because I’ve tried a lot of the reviews and what the people are saying and it is not true al least not for me, so if your gonna write a review about a app that is this good maybe try a different app before leaving the reviews because I really like this app and so do other millions of 5 star 4 star reviews, so don’t try to ruin this app by those hate comments or bad reviews. I get it you might of had a bad experience but maybe try again. You only fail when you stop trying, so try this app again and maybe your experience will be better. Amazing app!!!!

Cash Grab. If you’re coming from Google Play and if you’re already paying for a Google Play subscription, then this app may be perfectly suited to you. If you’re migrating from the free version of Google Play, you’re likely going to be very unhappy. The app seems specifically designed to annoy the user with as many roadblocks to enjoying their music as possible in order to force them into purchasing a subscription. The app will not run in the background without a subscription, so forget about using it in the car and having a gps running at the same time. Advertisements are played in between nearly every song, including music you already purchased. Often these would be video ads so if you’re on a limited data plan, that’s going to hurt. Downloading your music is a premium feature as well. YouTube’s global head of music, Lyon Cohen, stated in an interview at SXSW “There’s a lot more people in our funnel that we can frustrate and seduce to become subscribers,” and it appears he’s making good on that. Google Play generated income off me in their free service by playing ads on their radio, which I was fine with and presumably by taking a cut of the sale whenever I purchased an album from them, which I was also fine with. However, I won’t be bullied into paying for a subscription. I’ve transferred my music to another service and will not be purchasing further music through Google/YouTube which is a shame as I felt Google Play was really well done.

This app has serious issues. I started using YouRube Music several years ago because it had music that wasn’t available through other streaming services. Now that the others have caught up in genres like indie, classical, and K-pop, I’m seriously considering leaving YT Music due to the long-standing, unresolved app issues. 1. Shuffle play does not work. I would expect a playlist to play randomly and thus to hear all songs an equal number of times, but some songs are definitely played frequently and some songs in the playlist never or rarely come up with random/shuffle play. Other music streaming apps have a shuffle/random play option that actually works. 2. Songs are randomly swapped out for other versions. For example, a song I’ve added to a playlist in its studio recorded version will suddenly we swapped out for a live concert version of the song, or a mixed version/special release, or even a different language. This is extremely irritating.

Love it. First music service I’ve paid for and I love it. Even the free version with ads is still more complacent than all the other music platforms, not to mention how it includes free access to any music, the ability to play in whatever order, play next, and many more, all you can even do without paying. That’s honestly why I tried it in the first place because it was already so good free but then the premium makes it ten times better. Love the personal mixes, love the radios, and absolutely love the offline mistake. However, my one and only peeve is that sometimes my offline mixtape gets stuck downloading a track and then doesn’t finish at all, currently whenever that happens I just uninstall/reinstall. But other than that I’m happy to pay for this music service, something I really never saw myself doing.

Solid, but could definitely use some detailed improvements.. This is definitely a solid music app and the algorithm that is used when creating a radio station and overall recommendations is top tier. With every pro is a con and with that said, I have noticed a few things that I think should be improved upon. Firstly, this app force closes entirely too much for it to sustain a claim of the best music app. I'm not sure what is causing it but there's nothing worse than finally trying to get into a groove and then dead silence because the app shut itself down. It's happened to me no less than 10 times today alone, including after I did the most recent update. Next, I'm not sure how this happens, but playlists with an extensive amount of songs on them (which I have several of) seem to have this error where if you scroll down into the playlist and choose a song to play, it'll play it but the song name and title will be the first song in the playlist, which will then play the 2nd song afterwards instead of the actual next song that is supposed to play after the one you selected. Lastly, this isn't a complete negative but I think the playlist cap should be increased from 5,000. If I had my way, double it. Overall, this is a great app that I have used since Google Play Music was discontinued but there is always room for improvement.

You Tube music & Music videos. I use this nearly everyday. I was a teenager in 1970, the greatest era music will ever know, I can find all of that energizing music here, on this app. It is rare when there is a signal problem, it does happen but If I put a number on it and the reason Is usually loss of Wi-Fi and I’m usually in the same location when it happens to me. Occasionally maybe twice a week it may stop and it just takes a touch of my phone to restart it all in all its a non issue, if you receive a call it will stop and as soon as the call is over it picks back up where it stopped. I personally love it can’t stump it(I can find about any song I’ve ever looked for. Concert footage fantastic takes me back to my happy place. I could go on but I need to hear some great rock and roll now!

Randomize Button??. I love the app. But they removed the randomize button. Now you have to jump though hoops to randomize your muisc. You have to push the three dots to the side of the playlist then press radom, or press play THEN press the random button there. Randomizing your music the second way garentees that the first will ALWASE be the same. 👎I mean, come on Google. Even Apple Music has the randomizer button. I get thet it streamlines the look but when im on the road i dont want to have to get my pasenger to randomize my muisc. I have 200+ songs in my liked playlist and dont want to listen to them in the order that i liked them. Theres also music i liked ages ago that i would like to listen to eventually. Put the randomizer button back man. 4⭐️ Because its were my music is. 4👎 For the design change. Seriously. If there was a way to downgrade the app so i can get the randomizer button back i would do it in a heartbeat.

So bad. This is by far the worst app for listening to music that I have ever used. (And I have the paid subscription.) It takes a gazillion clicks to find my recent or commonly used playlists. I don’t get on the app to use mixes some rando made, I get on to listen to MY LISTS and to find new releases. Why do I have to click like five times to reach my playlists???? And even then it doesn’t show me the ones I’ve lost recently played, only the ones I’ve recently edited! The playlists are not sorted alphabetically. If I want to remove songs from a queue or move them to another playlist, it’s impossible to select more than one song at once—I HATE THIS ESPECIALLY. Such a basic and inexcusable oversight they’ve had months to fix. And if I’m already listening to a list I’ve downloaded and then I leave WiFi, it complains to me that it has no connection and needs to go to downloads, and makes me click through multiple times just to find again and shuffle the list I’m already listening to. Just awful. Also google play used to show me how many times I’ve listened to each song, and that’s what I looked at to find my favorite songs of the year. I don’t want a 2020 list they make for me, I want to make my own list! Why can’t they provide this basic thing that was already offered on google play? The web app is equally frustrating. I can’t believe we actually pay them to provide this abysmal level of service.

Great app, big flaws. This is my all time favorite music app, and I wish I could give it 5 stars.. but there’s a couple things that are preventing that at the current moment. Firstly, it’s 2021 and there’s still no lyrics tab? I understand that it’s not always possible to be accurate 100% of the time, or maybe it’s a file size issue, but Apple Music does it and it works just fine. It’s extremely annoying to constantly switch apps to my browser, so I can read the lyrics, and I had to pay to even be able to do that in the first place. Secondly, and this is BY FAR my biggest pet peeve ever. When I go out of my way to rearrange my playlist to perfectly fit my mood at the time and I accidentally click on a song to start a station instead of adding it to the queue. Maybe add a warning, like “hey you’re about to lose that whole playlist arrangement you spent an hour on, are you sure you want to continue?” (Yet, another thing Apple Music does) I never thought Apple would be better at listening to their customers than google but here we are.

Content winner, though lacking some polish and features. Hands down, the most music of any service. If it's a song that was recorded by humans it's probably in here. And will at some point come across your station. End of the day that's what matters most to me for a music service. Exposure to content. That said, the app is missing a few minor convenience features present in other similar services. My biggest peeve, no Windows PC music only mode. I listen to music a lot at work and would prefer not to eat bandwidth for videos I'm not watching. While in power the app has no option to keep the screen on meaning I have to unlock my phone to thumb a song down while driving. And the most minor, no way to thumb down a song that's not currently playing, gotta stop playing the current track, start playing the other one, then thumb it down. Also, why no access to comments?

Great app but needs improvement. I love this app. I have a premium membership I’ve been paying for one for a long time. I love the platform so I don’t mind paying a couple extra bucks a month to use the premium benefits of this app. There are a few issues though. If I run out of premium you guys absolutely flood me with ads way more then you need to which aggravates me a little bit and also ever since this new update the app has been crashing left and right and I’ll be listening to a playlist and you won’t be able to view half the songs in the playlist. Before the update the app was fine but after it kinda got messed up. All this app needs is a few bugs repaired and then it will be fine otherwise I love this app. Also it would be smart for you guys to keep political ads off of your website too because I know that people don’t want to see that regardless of where they stand on the political spectrum.

Neat app, but a few improvements could be useful.. I give this four stars because it’s an amazing app, and I’ve been using it on my Lenovo / Google Home smart clock to fall asleep. As well as I like it, there are a few things that I would like to be added. For one, when I ask it to play a certain person or music company that I like, for example Waterflame, or Danimal Cannon, I want it to just play those songs. I’m tired of skipping songs to the point where I can’t even skip anything without a membership. Second of all, stop flooding your ads with membership advertisements! It’s annoying to me because imagine hearing after every single song: “Buy our membership!” And I would also like the option to not play certain songs, because after a while it plays lo-fi music or old school hip-hop, but I don’t want that to happen. Again, this is a great app, but these things are something that could be considered in the future. I look forward to using this more.

Love this app for sure but…. Not a fan of going into my library and seeing a bunch of artists instead of just my playlists. When I subscribe to an artist it pops up on the library, but when I checked the ones listed, I’m not even subscribed to them. It’s like it keeps pages of artists I’ve searched but I don’t want that. When I click on my library I just want to see my playlists, I hate when artist pages get in the mix because then things get hard for me to find. I shouldn’t have to use a filter in order to see JUST my playlists. Another thing that’s been aggravating me is how when I find edited versions of an original song and it doesn’t save in my playlist as the edited version. For example, I love this one song but I hate how long the intro to it is. When I actually found the same song WITHOUT the intro, I tried saving it into my playlist but when I check, it’s literally the song with the long intro included. Is this a glitch?

Excellent if you have Premium, frustrating if you don’t. I’ve been using YT music for about six months right now. For the majority of that time, I used the free-with-ads version, and that’s where my docking a star from this review comes from. This service has too many ads, especially in the last few months. It’s impossible to play a song without being forced to watch an ad (usually unskippable) or two or three. I got so fed up that I caved and started paying for Premium—which turned out to be a great decision. It’s amazing! Not only are there no ads, but you also get free downloads and listening with the screen off. And yes, I know that’s normal for a premium subscription of any music service, I just got so used to the free version that this just feels so freeing. If you can pay for Premium, then get this app! But if not, don’t. Find a less maddening alternative.

You can listen to music with this. Yes it is true, you can use this app to listen to music, shocking. However if you move your phone while in the app, cause you have to be in app to hear the music unless you pay, the music tends to minimize and you can accidentally tap on and start playing a different song. Also the quick picks feature is neat, though it will recommend some music that I haven’t listened to in 5 months and at that I barely listened to at all, I was listening the the cure, tilted my phone and accidentally started playing lemon demon, and there isn’t a way that I know of to hop back into what you were listening to, idk make the back button for songs at the start of a queue be able to take you back to your last queue, problem solved. Also allow the option to turn off tilt controls, I cannot think of a place or time when I would be glad that they are there, cause I could just drag my finger down the screen. Plus some artists either have their discography hidden (Bob Dylan for example) or just not there (see Jimi Hendrix), why is that

GLITCHY and CONFUSING as heck. I wouldn't be very upset about how they are getting rid of Google Play Music if this app wasn't so crappy of a replacement. It is super glitchy, freezes way too often, doesn't let me download many things that were downloadable on Google Play Music, and it still hasn't downloaded the playlists that for which I initiated the downloads weeks ago...I mean come on! Google certainly has the resources to make this app so much better, so since it is hopeless that they will change their minds on getting rid of Google Play Music (which I heavily endorsed for the years that I used it and spent hours upon hours building up my library etc, and have been the DJ at work and many gatherings personal and professional), PLEASE GET THIS APP FULLY FUNCTIONAL related to my complaints above!!!!!!! UPDATE AFTER USING THIS CRAPP FOR OVER A YEAR: I think this (crapp) app has gotten worse somehow 😢😪😫 It has frozen a dozen times after playing DOWNLOADED songs during my cries country trip today. And it takes about a minute to get its bearings to even begin paying anything for EVEN THOUGH IT’S DOWNLOADED let alone the fact that I’ve got FULL 5G SERVICE 🤮

App is good, but far from perfect. At times when you start the app or an individual song in a playlist, it will either A) load an incomplete version of your playlist or B) load the audio from one song and display the cover art and name of another. If a playlist long enough and you choose a song far back enough in said playlist, the app just won’t bother to load the entire playlist into your queue. You can get around this by initially selecting a song further into the playlist and then going back in you queue. Sometimes you’ll see the name and cover art of the song you intended to listen to, but hear the actual audio from a completely different song. Once again, this can be fixed by going to a different part of the queue and going back to the song you originally meant to listen to.

Get rid of the explicit warnings. I know there are songs that I listen to that talk about depression and self destructive behaviors. Im old enough to listen to that. There is a setting that turns on the “filter explicit content” filter, so why do I have to be reminded that the song is “explicit and may contain topics about self harm and suicide and blah blah blah”. Stop interrupting my listening experience. When the warning pops up, it completely stops playing music until you skip the song, or close the warning. And this is a big issue when I’m driving, because i don’t know if I have bad internet, or it’s stuck on one of those songs, which pulls my attention off the road, and puts me in a bad mood. Im glad that the warnings only really pop up on the more popular songs, because if it didn’t, 50% of my playlist will constantly be halted by some dumb warning.

Continuous Glitches. The app is having multiple glitches and no matter how many times the glitches are reported NOTHING is being done to fix it. How do you increase the price of service and simultaneously degrade the quality of the product and customer service? The app does not close out the playlist being listed to. As a result, the algorithms gets scrambled and it no longer plays music according to the station created or music genre selected. It will start playing meditation music mixed in with reggae and so forth. When it’s not glitching out in that way, it’s repeating the same song (while not programmed to repeat) or it doesn’t generate a playlist at all and only has 1 song on a playlist. I have updated my phone several times delete and reinstall the app and have gone through every trouble shooting step possible to no avail. NOTHING gets fixed when you report a problem to customer service anymore or report a problem. THIS USED TO BE MY FAVORITE MUSIC APP. NOW ITS ON ITS WAY TO THE TRASH BIN AND IM LOOKING INTO WHICH COMPANY I’D LIKE TO SWITCH TO AND END MY SUBSCRIPTION. I’m trying to be patient but there has been no improvement and it seems they just do not care like they used to… Sad. I was actually looking to upgrade my plan but not with this kind of service.

Missing Google play music. In all honesty I switched over to this app with a really open mind because I figured it would work about the same as Google play music. But I've been disappointed in certain functions. I mostly listen to my music while I'm driving so the download-only feature is really important. On Google, you could toggle your downloads on and off and then sort by artist if you wanted. I've noticed on this app that if you want to listen to downloads you can either choose one individual album or you can shuffle all of your songs. This is frustrating to me. The other thing I'm not thrilled about is the really bad lag when I skip a song or two. And this is still if I'm only listening to my downloaded music so there is no reason for the app to act like it's buffering or whatever the problem is here?? I really wanted to like this app. I did. But it's got some pretty major issues and they had a long time to sort this out before making everyone switch over.

Google needs to do some work if so many people are paying for this app. The only thing good about this app now is that you’re able to download your songs. I work in areas with little to no reception a lot of times and having downloaded music really makes the difference. The app has a lot of issues though. My main complaint and most annoying thing is when you search for an artist or song it will start playing songs normally, but comes 4 or 5 songs in it just plays the same song over and over and over or just goes into a loop of the same songs, does not matter if it’s a playlist or an album or just a random search. It will display different song names and album arts on songs that have nothing to do with what you are listening to. No matter what type of music you select it will automatically choose the same artists and songs for every search every time and it drives me crazy. I feel this app just is not worth the subscription price. 3.99 is top price for what it’s worth.

Missing one thing…. Overall very good. Has everything I’ve ever looked for. Has worked flawlessly on every device I’ve used. Even the controls integrate across devices. But… The Library, the albums and songs you add to your collection, cannot be organized. It is simply one long list in newest-first order. You can’t group them by genre, decade, etc. You can’t create folders either. If, like me, you add your very favorites at first, then continue to add as you remember less popular music or discover new music, you end up with a list of hundreds that is a mess. And it’s a LONG scroll to get to the first albums entered which, again, are probably your favorites. It is faster and easier to just search for what you want each time you want to play something than use the Library. That’s annoying. And makes the Library useless and meaningless.

Good to avoid YT shorts :D. It’s good in everything except of 2 things: 1) bugs - on iPhone the screen gets stuck in horizontal layout when you accidentally turn you phone sideways; windows (different clickable parts of the interface) get overlayed so you cannot click on something you need. You have to restart the app which is super annoying. 2) browser interface - it’s YT music, I want to see the list of music in my current playlist, not an image/label of the song that is playing right now. If browser is in full screen, you can see the list of songs in the right side. However, I usually use split view I loose a good chunk of the interface functionality (like/dislike and some more) and the list of songs relocates to the bottom of the screen under the songs image, which would be okay but the image part takes the entire screen and you cannot resize it. This makes it uncomfortable to use.

Stop automatically casting when opening. I’d like the option to choose if or where I’d like to listen when I open the app. If I’ve got my headphones in and open the app, it still automatically chooses one of the speakers I’ve listened on before. Very annoying as I don’t want sound blasting out when it’s bedtime and I just want to listen with headphones and not wake everyone up. In your attempt to be helpful and intuitive you’ve given me nothing I can opt out of.

I just wish that there were more videos. I have to be honest with myself that this was the best time of year for my kids and my family and my friends and my friends and my friends in my life to get a chance for me in a relationship with you I know I was going out of the way for them but you were a very special and generous.

No subscription feed :(. Please just add a subscription place so we can know when our favourite artists post. The new releases section just promotes new-ish releases from pop artists and not artists that I’ve subscribed to. If I want to find new releases from artists I’ve subscribed to I have to go through their profiles 1 by 1 and it’s so time consuming. If they did something like replace the explore section that nobody uses with a subscriptions section it would really make my day :)

Love it but would like to see a feature added. Would really love to see more support for Apple Watch and be able to (have the option) to stream from the watch. Eg. When going for a run being able to leave your phone behind and just rely on the watch for music. Yes you might increase your data use but here in Australia that’s not really an issue

Where is my Shuffle!!!. This app always remove shuffle button here and there after updates. This is so inconvenient. I mean you do have the shuffle function when you click "more" (the three dots), and I am happy that you have the shuffle function along with a huge bank of songs and artists, but can you please put the shuffle shortcut button back :) That would be a great help, for drivers in particular.

Good app but this bug needs fixing. So a lot of the time if I’m listening to music or leave the app running in the background it eventually pops up with the “are you stil watching?” Thing with the yes next to it, a lot of the time when I tap the yes to get rid of it, it doesn’t work. It’s annoying because I can’t use the arrow to get to the queue of songs that are going to play.

Love it!. A quick and easy way to choose, play and enjoy music for all ages. As seen evident at work (I’m in aged care) and it’s absolutely magical when you can have a resident singing along with you in joy, when you play their favourite song. Thanks for helping me, help others enjoy their beautiful memories and enjoy some serene music when required and allowing me a chance to unwind with music from the world over!

Mini player. Why did you change the mini player :( it was perfect already. I liked how I could just swipe down to turn off the song. One of the big reasons I use yt music over other platforms. Now I can’t do that 😔 and for some reason the search results suggestions are getting worse. It’s harder to get the song I’m looking for. I liked the old yt music 😔

Why do you have to pay exactly?. So I get the paying for the no ads thing but paying so you can go off the app is pretty annoying for me. I’m not able to pay for it because I still live with my parents, and a 3 hour drive while stuck in between two little brothers is annoying especially when their screaming is all you can hear. Overall it’s okay but I don’t really get the use if you have to stay on the app while listening to music.

Great but lost all downloaded tracks. This has been my go to streaming service for music and library is immensely vast than Apple Music . However , after using this service for over two years and having downloaded more than 1500+ tracks , today woken up to all of them being deleted. I have enough memory on my phone and allocated space on the app yet all gone overnight. Vastly disappointed guys! Anyway to get it back?

Good but could be much better. The App itself as of the time writing this, is working fine with no bugs spotted in the past couple of weeks. What would be amazing is if the added the functionality to create custom playlists with the music you have downloaded. Such as a playlist for going on a run, one solely dedicated to study or one for work. As of now, you can only use the potentially massive downloaded songs auto playlist or Albums that have been downloaded. A way to create playlists, or a way that isn’t potentially hidden, would be an amazing plus to the premium membership.

Current bug. The reason it’s still a 4 star is I love the app and use it daily but at the moment their are bugs that make me not want to use the app anymore such as; songs randomly getting removed from my playlists and I can’t add them back because when you click a song, it plays it but has the wrong title and artist so it’s adding the wrong thing

The free version overloads you with same ads constantly. Normally this would be a good app but the free version is so punishing with its advertising that keeps repeating the same ad over and over and over and over, and that it only works while the device is on makes it a poor version of all its competitors. Had to uninstall and goto an alternate free app that does a better job. But would go back if the ad rotation wasn’t so abusive.

Not good enough, more updates!. I only downloaded the app last night and there is lots of bugs in it. I use it on iPad and real-time lyrics is still not available 👎🏻. The screen goes blank when you are playing in player. That is just an annoying bug, which is frustrating if you use it regularly. I have seen real-time lyrics on mobile devices but it is still not on iPad. I wish the version was just the same on mobile devices. Sometimes I want to open the artist but is just displays a loading sign🤷🏻‍♂️ and says something went wrong even is there is nothing wrong with my connection to the internet. So please add real-time lyrics, not those lyrics like that doesn’t even mark where you are up to in the song. Please fix bugs because it is annoying when the screen goes blank. Thank you.

Functionally fine except for the recommendation system. It’s a fine music player, but having come from Google Play Music, I have to say the recommendation system is not very good. For example: - same songs recommended over and over - “tunnel vision” when it comes to artists and genres. Expanding on the second point, if I like one song by an artist outside of my normally preferred genres, it thinks I want to listen to everything by that artist and/or in the genre. Meanwhile, it happily ignores my 1000s of other likes of a different genre and artists. Like one song from a movie soundtrack? You must want to listen to every move sound track! Liked 1000s of early music songs? Got nothing new for you! For music discovery, this app is not good. I have more luck just searching for what I like. I guess I wouldn’t mind if I hadn’t had a much better experience with Google Play Music. It’s sad they dropped a superior product. Oh, I took an other star off for lack of customisation available in the UI. I don’t care about new music by the kids these days. I’m old! Get off my lawn!

Great App, but needs Apple Watch Support!. Started using YTM when I signed up for YT premium. Having access to songs both on the YTM and YT platform is terrific! However, YT offline integration with Apple Watch is NEEDED!!!! it’s the only thing letting YTM down for me. Using some really annoying workarounds to get offline music at the moment, and in the longer term may be something that pushes me to a different music streaming platform.

Help. Not really happy with the app, I used to be able to choose between song or video when I purchased premium music but I have now switched to a family subscription and can’t seem to choose between either as in I no longer have the option to choose. I’ve had my premium subscription a little over a year and have had no problems but since switching to family subscription there is nothing but problems

More forgetful than my demented nanna. This app will forget that you've found an awesome song or play list as soon as you pause it and put it in your pocket. Come back 30seconds later and the app opens up with a blank slate with nary an indication that you were partway through your song or play list. Please for the love of all that is holy make it persist some state so it can pick up where I left off, it surely can't be that hard.

Account issues. I’ve got the YT Music subscription. Happy for the most part. The app can recognise your account is logged in and playing on another device and will ask if you want to regain control or not but won’t continue from where you left off if you do choose to regain control 🤔 Also the radio or autoplay playlists are great, a bit repetitive but the app doesn’t have the option to choose similar, discover etc like you do on pc.

Needs an Album Button. Overall a pretty good UI experience. The one thing I constantly find annoying is requiring a couple of clicks to get to the relevant album for the current track, or the precision required to get to the artist for the current track. Would like to see some bigger and more clear prominent buttons for these options. Otherwise fairly good. Also would like a clearer way to get to History. Perhaps make a favourite function bar with customisable hot keys to favourite app functions. This could sit on all screens.

Disgusted. Bring back google play music. Or at least let us listen to Albums we have previously paid for in google music player store for free without adds. How can you justify forcing someone to pay a monthly cost to listen to music they have already previously paid for, this is robbery and extremely unfair. And yes I downloaded my music before you shut down google music player, but it didn’t download properly, there are songs missing or songs in the wrong order. I tried several times, but I am missing a lot of songs. Disappointed and disgusted in Google.

Still the worst UI on the iPad. Still missing the playlist from the now playing screen. The UI is just a port of the phone version and feels extremely bad on iPad. So many sub-menus. Zero use of the iPad’s screen. I have been using this app every day since it came out and it remains very frustrating to use. The updates have added nothing, in fact they removed features. They ‘patch’ it all the time without ever adding any functionality. The only feature they have added recently was a pointless social media comment section…. Just the thing you want while listening to music… :( Music selection is fine. Algorithm for suggesting music is fine. Would give this four stars if they back-date the now playing screen to when it was actually functional.

No resume play. After maybe 20 minutes of a paused song the app will maybe crash or it just forgets everything. You lose the song you were listening to and the playlist goes, you have to open the app again and it’ll send you to the homepage. If you were listening to a large playlist you can bet even on shuffle you will here a lot of the song you just heard.

Don’t be evil??. Yes, whatever happened to that slogan. I have no doubt that the transition from Google Play Music to YouTubeMusic makes complete commercial sense within the hallways of Google/Alphabet grand headquarters. But the coerced nature of this shift (including the delivery app and the way that music is navigated, managed and played) is an ugly outcome for those of us who invested time and money in the GPM ecosystem. Google could have readily adapted and transitioned the existing GPM music app to the YTM music library (the ostensible rationale for the move) but instead chose against this minimal impact strategy. The YTM user experience inevitably embraces google’s ability to push additional content recommendations - in our best interests of course (not). Well, now it’s done, and you’ll need to make up your own mind how much you’ll trust google with any other current and future product offerings.

Offline Playback Useless. Great app but with the latest update offline play is pretty much non existent. Every time you open up the app, it always has to ‘sync’ the offline playlists. Even when this is done and everything is downloaded, when you have no connection the app is useless, not even downloaded playlist will play until you establish an internet connection!

Amazing but just add a little more stuff. So basically I want to play music while playing Roblox the game but it does not work it turns off when I join a game I just want to put music and play Roblox but it doesn’t work this app is Amazing but now that I commented this please update :but it works only on offline games but not on online!😁⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’m suffering deeply but it could be worse. I like the app. Music selection is good and all that. However the queueing system is trash and i can download only download some of the songs in my playlist. As in it says that if i update the playlist it will remove previously downloaded songs. Personally, i just want my whole playlist downloaded. I haven’t been able to find a setting to change this. But overall its ok.

Useless App. After being forced off of Google Podcasts by them closing it and having them suggest this app instead - this seems like a backyard school project in comparison. Most of the podcasts i want. And they’re not unpopular ones, are just not available on here. The couple that were, show podcasts in random order and there is no sensible way to change this. At the rate of Google getting rid of all their good and trusted apps, I can seriously see them going out of business in the next few years. A real shame. Greed has killed off many a good business a this will surely follow

Took about 5 years, but. they finally added a sleep timer! Going to raise my review to a 4/5, now if they could bring better playlist editing (namely sorting from within the music app, and setting a default sort order to playlists) as well as more options for controlling the autoplay songs (eg. strictly only related tracks, maybe filter options to add conditions like release date, include/exclude artists, etc.) I'd be pretty happy with this as a music app.

Playlist sorting and menu display. Your playlist display and sorting leaves a lot to be desired. Can we add shuffle play to entire library? Can you show full display of each playlist instead of just showing 20 tracks and then the “20+”. Get with it people! You’re raking in millions upon millions of dollars per year with the smartest people in the world working for you but you still can’t lock down functions in one of your biggest apps. Far out guys. Get with it.

Music On this Amazing App.. This app(YouTube Music), is an amazing app where you can find many different music; all different genres and great features. I use this app all the time and it’s never let me down. I honestly rate this app 10/10. I recommend getting this app, getting premium and enjoying listening to this amazing music. This Music is in a great shape and sounds perfection. MUST GET THIS GREAT APP.

Happy but not satisfied. I am quite happy with the app over all. Have been using the app for quite a while now but I still want improvement when it comes to song suggestions when I pick one song and most of the times the songs that are repeated after that are quite same I wonder if we can get more combination of similar songs that belongs to same genre that would be good.

All your ads has added up in my bank account!. I have been paying for the top subscription once a month for over 6 months and I still have advertising would have but I have paid too much adding it all up now! then clicking subscribe for no ads then login in and it says your already subscribed to your account! No sh#!! But in fact I think you have given me more ads. You constantly take my money but you never take away the ads. Please refund all of my subscriptions. I think I’ve been loyal to the point of your just taking my money for granted. And I’m sure you will miss it!

Dale Doughton. I love my music. My daughter told me not to get it. That I couldn’t afford it on disability pension. It brings me so much joy. I need to learn how to work it a bit better, so it players my most favourite played songs in a row. Otherwise thank you. Why doesn’t it play my favourite songs in a row. Where can I go to learn how to use it better. Thanks

Great app use all the time and love it. Love the app however I’m not a fan of the algorithm that chooses the super mix it gives me great music. But it’s all the stuff that I’ve heard heaps of times before, it would be great to get some more songs that I haven’t heard before. Because I rarely get a good song that I haven’t heard yet. Maybe make a discovery mix where you hear songs similar to your taste but you’ve only heard once or no times

New Update. This new update that happened with ‘library’ is hella confusing, I can’t seem to find my actual ‘downloads’ playlist. Everything is messed up & unorganised, songs are put in random places & the other playlists are mixed into the songs, Please change it or fix it, but maybe I’m just had at looking

Improving. As a really really long term user from google music days and as the only music service to step BACKWARDS from streaming quality of 320kbs OR CD lossless and cancelling music sales it gets harder to stay. But over time it’s little tweaks have also made it more welcoming again it’s video or music to playlist integration it’s cover art lyrics and music info integration is better - except for its failure to fully cover a screen size and progressively morph about. The catalogue still big the youbetube premium twofa it’s most attractive feature.

⭐️⭐️⭐️. my main using player is YT music, it’s good apart from , I just play music from my ‘likes’ list, it would be awesome if you could through the likes list be able to have a genres button or something where something can help you look for the songs you have as I have over 2,500 something like that which isn’t much but I realised unlike iTunes YT music doesn’t have anything to help you locate a song or artist easier you just get the songs you’ve likes & the order you’ve likes them in, i think that’s the biggest thing missing straight up

It’s 2024 but for Google it’s 1998. + You cannot see if you are adding song that is already in the playlist - you get the message only once you click “add” + you cannot browse playlist on CarPlay if you have iPhone - cheap tactic to ruin iOS experience + you cannot forward or rewind music on CarPlay iOS as in you cannot specify how much Siri should forward for example. So you need to listen the whole mix you uploaded to get to for example 45th minute of it. + related button is broken and is giving results that have nothing to do with the song

App close when pause song. It’s being very annoying when receive a call and the music get pause the app just closing loosing the playlist order or live video time point. Even 10 sec in a call or paused it’s enough to get the app closed. Being so frustrated as I’m a premium member. Please fix it. Thank you

Pretty good but a few bugs. So I’ve use so it pretty much exclusively for the past few months and I really like it but theee are a few bugs and glitches. They come up every so often one of them is if you make a queue of songs and skip one after pausing it the whole queue will be wiped and leave only the song playing, Another is not being able to press play if you’ve turned the phone off and put it in pocket and pause it when you turn it on the screen will have the menu to play but pushing and button but skip will do nothing. Other than these bugs I’ve been quite happy with it and am using it as my main music app

Great access to music. I love how there is a straight forward search system that 90% of the time reliably gives me exactly what I search for, even if I don’t have the correct spelling the system always manages to get me what I want. The collection of songs are great and vast giving me songs on the regular to get study done and do exercise. Would 100% recommend to friends and family if they are looking for a reliable and great supply of music.

The App is excellent with a few buts. The music app is no doubt excellent when it comes to music and relevant suggestions. The only feature I would like to have added is multiple selection to delete upcoming songs in a queue. Currently user can only remove 1 song at a time from the queue and the queue reloads with each delete. If you try to go any faster while deleting, the app may become unresponsive at times. It is not a big deal breaker but the option to multi select and remove would just make it wonderful

App layout has changed. Yesterday the layout of the app changed on me. Prior to that, when I would open the app ‘Listen Again’ and ‘Quick Picks’ were at the top of the page, making it easy to change songs to one’s I listen to constantly and enjoy. Now, they’re almost at the very bottom. It’s annoying having to scroll all the way down just to quickly select a song that I’ve previously listened to. On top of that, I have to scroll down each time I want to choose a song from either list—it does not maintain where you are on the page and constantly goes back to the top. Please change it back.

My opinion. It’s a good app to use to distract or to do stuff, Me and my family use it on our phones, google homes and even computers and laptops. It helps distracting me from stuff. And it helps my brother, he has autism and he listens to a lot of music. I recommend it a lot for people who like music in general or people who just need a distraction!

Good point on the variety of of the functionalities offered by YTB Music. The app has lots of functionalities and it makes it the best music app for my use. I really like to be able to watch DJ sets and add them to my playlists. Could offer a better sound quality and a cheaper subscription as they are by far the most expensive.

This game well music app is terrible. I’m giving this game a 2 because it only works when it wants to it’s the same thing with the super Mario 64 camera basically only only works when it wants to and here’s how it goes how come I can play coconut mall on my iPad then shut the tab and it keeps playing but with anything else it just shuts off completely so that’s one of the reasons next one is it always makes me go to that website well app even though I don’t have it and that’s the only two reasons so you should take that into consideration please do that otherwise I’m giving you zero next time.

Review + feature suggestion.. Love this app, the recommendations are spot on. The only feature I would like to see is the ability to reverse/flip your playlist from newest to oldest, rather than being stuck on oldest to newest. I think this would be an affective and satisfying feature. Basically, would love to listen to my playlist the other way around, right now the only options are oldest to newest, radio or shuffle.

Downloaded songs. I love this app it really works well for me however I don’t like how the downloaded songs system has changes in the last year. I used to be able to pay premium and download my songs to play offline however now I can download The songs but can only play them if I first have internet to do so. This doesn’t always work as I am in a rural spot with little to no signal. So when I want to listen to music I have to find signal to get my downloaded list to load before I can listen offline and it’s really becoming an issue for me.

It has a bug, a really annoying one. I have subscribed and un subscribed a few times now, I love the app when it works properly which is most of the time but I’ve had an issue which has repeated itself more than once now. I start to play a song and it plays for for 3-5 seconds then it has no sound for 3-5 seconds… the song plays again for 3-5 seconds then no sound for 3-5 seconds and this repeats itself over and over again to the point where you turn it off because you can’t use the app.

Alexa and Google Home. Streaming support to Alexa and google home. This app is seriously behind when comrade to Spotify or Apple Music. No support for Alexa streaming seriously?

Money. I like how it functions but not how you need to pay for everything like listening to it while it’s closed

Terrible !!!. I used to love YouTube music and used it all the time now with the updates I don’t even get to control the music I listen to??? Sure I get to close the app and still listen but I don’t even like what I get to listen to. This is just terrible..

Horrible app. Most horrible app for music you can’t pick a song. you can only turn on the radio now so you can’t listen to the songs you want so what’s the point in having a search bar

absolute dogwater without premium. without premium this is literally just youtube except it only has music, and i can’t play any songs i like because it just puts on a bunch of related songs the moment i select something. there are no advantages to this unless you use premium. you can’t even listen to music without the app open, which just completely defeats the purpose of having a music app in the first place. unless you’re willing to waste money on premium when you could easily just go to spotify instead, there is absolutely no reason to download this app.

expensive comparing with apple & Spotify. So Expensive, I would rather choose Spotify over this.unless,they introduce ‘’audio only’’ option otherwise it’s overrated.

was good. was a genuinely good alternative to spotify since without premium you could LISTEN TO THE SONGS YOU WANTED TO but now it just plays a random song no matter what you click unless you spend money sigh back to soundcloud once again sad

Need a subscription to play any music. I downloaded YT music and tried playing a playlist of my favourite songs on it, instead it just asked for me to pay a subscription for YT premium just to play on demand music 👎👎

Horrible. I absolutely hate this app. Can’t believe Google is taking away Play. And I’m paying for Premium, too. Playlists are confusing, “moods” is very limited and there is no “activity” filter. The other day I was listening to kids music with my young children and next on the playlist was Drake... ?! Hey Google, get your algorithm right.

Worst version of Spotify. Bad

MESS!. The library and preferences from Google Play Music do not transfer to YouTube Music. Instead of sticking with Google Play Music or just rebranding the service, Google decided to go for the messiest transition in their history.

Not good. First thing that’s super upsetting is I have to keep my phone unlocked to listen to music. You guys should fix it up like the other apps and make it more accessible when locked. Also the video idea is cool but it kills my data. The app has the potential to be the best music app because the music algorithm they set for you is better than Spotify but there’s all these little obstacles that make it difficult to use.

Awful music. Awful app messy layout too much to look at all at once messy uncontrolled selections always making you listen to artists that pay for views I don’t want to give sympathy to pathetic artists that don’t deserve any recognition everything is drugs and sex it’s disgusting awful truly awful app

They’ve blocked Palestinian songs.. If you search any song about Palestine you are unable to hear it as they’ve removed anything with the word Falastini, Falastine, Palestine.

Deleting this app after 5 min. A music app that stops the music as soon as you close the app??? Unless you pay $160/year! What’s the point and why do I need a second YouTube app if they both do the same thing? No thanks!

Devs, Clean Your House. This app SUCKS. The only reason I use it is because it has the largest music library and I can find almost every song I’ve ever liked. HOWEVER, NOTHING else works in the app. The wrong song will play with the wrong artwork, with the wrong title of the song, with the wrong track length. It takes up to a minute to load your library when other apps takes seconds. Not only that but you CANT SEARCH offline!! Wanna hear that specific song? Hope it plays next cause you ain’t searching for it…decided you don’t like a song? GOOD LUCK deleting it from a playlist…ITS NOT AN OPTION. The amount of bugs on this app and the developers don’t fix it. The only reason to use it is for the amount of music available. Nuff’ said. (Edit: NOT enough said apparently as today I’m listening to a playlist and everytime I skip a song it takes me right back to the beginning of the playlist. THIS APP SUCKS)

Fantastic. This app is the best music app that I have found. With premium it is even better than Apple Music but it is almost free

Horibble. I downloaded this app and sighned in then it started saying sighn in error. I tried closing it then deleting it and re downloading it and it still didn’t work this app is a pice of crap

Like it!. I have YouTube Premium so I get the better side of things, but with YouTube Premium, the app is so much better and comfortable to use. I can download songs and listen to the offline and turn the screen off and still listen, just like Apple Music. Like the app so far!

Not working as expected. Click on song. Get random other song. Deleting 2 min after installing.

Google play transition. The transition from google play to youtube music is just abysmal. There is no option to purchase individual songs or albums like before. You can only stream music, which you can’t even turn your screen off for unless you pay for premium. This is youtube’s bad take on spotify and I would not recommend it at all. If you want to stream music for free or as a subscription, apple music and spotify are far superior options. I have spent hundreds of dollars building a library on google play and I hate to see that I can no longer expand said library because of this transition. I will be switching to spotify because I am left with no other option.

Disgusting. I am appalled by this business model. There are already well established services and apps. This brings nothing new. It actually lacks everything that makes a streaming app good. If you want the stuff that makes it better you actually have to pay and you still get a subpar app. TLDR Google is making you pay way too much for something you can find in other apps for much less moolah...and it still sucks...

It was good. Since the new update you can’t listen to the song you choose and instead you start a radio? But we can have background music. but overall 1 step forward 2 steps back

eh. yeah, nice that it’s free but it’s even worse than spotify with the premium features. isn’t the point of a music app to listen while the phone’s locked??

Frustrating. Does you tube realize how incredibly frustrating it is to click on a song and have them play EVERY OTHER SONG BUT THAT SONG YOU CLICKED ON???!!!! All it does is make me delete the app. Zero chance I’m paying you for what was previously free. Screw you you tube music

Yikes. If you asked me a few years ago to rate it, i'd give it 5 stars. Now in order to do anything you need to pay for the subscription. Waste of my time.

Beta version. So many things missing. Update. So many things still missing or just not working. Maybe an Alpha version after all.

LMAOAOA. I was excited to finally see that I could literally listen to all the music on YouTube that I can’t find on Spotify until I read that u have to buy the premium version for background playing. Lolol what a joke.

You need money for this app. It’s like asking if someone if they want a certain food, they agree, and you still say you don’t want it. Oh you wanted to listen to this song? That’s too bad because you don’t have premium.

Worthless unless you pay 12$/month. This app is absolutely ridiculous. Without the premium, you cant even listen to your own music : It loads the radio, wich is everything but the thing you wanted. Plus, there’s even more ads than the regular youtube application… Just use youtube at this point or another music app…

Waste. Is this even different from YouTube at all besides the fact it’s JUST music. Like if I wanted to listen to music and need to keep my phone on I’d just open it in YouTube.

Why do we need to pay to listen to music?!. Horrible app music helps me stimulate and I am not paying 160 dollars just to listen to musicians😡

So much worse than Google Play. The most frustrating thing is that it never remembers the song I left off at and then I have to navigate a 200 song playlist to figure out where I was. This is made worse if you shuffle a playlist. For the love of god please track the song position in iPhone storage so it can resume where I left off.

Annoyingly money hungry. Asks you to go for premium every time u open the app.even if u have a song playing and come back to it after 30 secs .

Dont bother. Waste of money, app will crash when you download over 10 songs, finally got up to 100 songs and once the app crashes it deletes them all every time

Bruh.. I’ve been on youtube music for a 2 years now, but randomly now if you leave the app, the music stops?? If i wanted to make my music stop when I close the app, I’ll just go onto youtube! Fix this ASAP

MONEY. This is proof that google has been bought out by EA

New updates make it awful. Following the standard of Spotify, YouTube music makes you listen to whatever song they choose for you unless you upgrade. You can’t control your play list, or even if you listen to your actual playlist as they add in other songs. It’s full of ads and is just generally terrible. The paid version only offers what the free version should. Instead of competing in a market they’ve lowered their standards to meet the base of what other apps are doing. Gross.

Suggestions to make the app better. I love the Mixtape personalized for me, it gets the songs that are related to the song I usually listen to. And when I search a song to play it, the next songs are the ones that I like too. The algorithm for finding the music you will love is excellent. 1) However, they have to work on fixing the downloads 2) Sorting by artist name/ song title/ album/ genre. 3) Make lyrics available 4) You should also allow us to search for the artisr/ song / lyrics in the album/playlist too since we put a lot of songs in it and sometimes forget what the title is or the artist name. 5) Top 50 songs of each country 6) Able to select songs so we can delete or add/remove to playlist, etc

Too Costly. Too much $$$ to make this app functional

Not even the track I want!. When I click on a song, I plays something totally different, from a DIFFERENT ARTIST. Do I have to absolutely pay premium to have the basic? Why bother when I have iTunes. If I want a specific song that isn’t there I’ll go on regular YouTube.

The new update is terrible.. Bring it back to when it was free of your choice to play whatever you wanted! We didn’t really care for ads but I guess that’s what caused this update for money huh :/

Not as advertised. Might be good if you want to pay the monthly premium, but free version you device has to be on and in the app in order to work. Drains battery quick and turns off unless you have premium package. Zero stars from me I’d rather have the google play music back.

Update. I used to use this app daily, I sat through all the adds, left the app open etc so I could do my schoolwork. I’m most likely going to delete it now. They just updated it so you can’t pick which song is playing next, everything is a “radio” now. Previously I would have given it 5 stars, not being able to close the app without paying is annoying but made sense. They need to make money somehow, but this is going too far, I switched from Spotify because I could choose the song. I am a musician and not being able to pick the song so I can play with it means this is useless now. I also have mental illnesses and certain songs calm me down, certain songs help me do work etc. Now I can’t pick, I would happily change my review if this update is reversed but for now it’s staying.

Liar. Promised to include free background play for Canadians beginning Nov 3rd 2021, 2 days have passed, still nothing happened.

New update Ruined the App. The update from 19 March 2022 completely ruined the listening experience. I didn’t mind the ads or the requests for upgrade, but now whenever I click a song it takes me to a radio of that artists songs instead of the song I want. No longer can see what’s going to play next. No longer can listen to the music I liked. No more shuffle on the list that I created. Why bother using this app at all now?! Should just make it an app only available to youtube subscribers if you’re going to take away all functionality. Completely useless app now.

Disappointing Transition. Was forced to transfer to YouTube Music from Google Play and I hate this new app. The interface is totally chaotic — it’s difficult to narrow down navigation and it’s too stimulating, even with the black background. I don’t like how other users personal playlists are mixed with YT Music’s playlists, and I don’t like how my own playlists are mixed with premades. I also don’t care for the videos. If I wanted to watch something, I’d go to YouTube... I don’t need the prompt to watch. I also just spent 10 minutes reorganizing a personal playlist by artist’s name and when I exited, it completely reset. Waste of my time. Even the web-interface sucks. You can’t sort your playlists by title, artist, etc. I liked how Google Play had genres, moods, decades sorted — this new way has no organization and less channels. I pay $15 a month for my family to use this app — it certainly doesn’t feel like it comes from Google.

Don’t download. This app is great if you like being screwed over. This is not a good deal. I can’t access music I’ve downloaded if I move off of the app unless I give google my money. NO THANKS. I’ll use a different service. Google is rich enough why should I pay them to listen to my music.

BTS DESERVE BETTER. first of all it’s already a bad app because you literally can’t do anything until you pay and plus they are snakes who took away almost 100 million views from ON by bts I hate the app even more now

No background play in Canada. They said they’d release background play in Canada on nov3. Updated and no background play.

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

I deleted it.. After being on less than an hour I noticed it had nothing better to offer than any other streaming. So, I went to sign out. Well, they can't have you sign out. So, they make signing in as easy as opening your eyes. But, signing out? Well, you're on your own trying to find the exit in a house of mirrors. I believe it would be criminal if I went into a brick & mortar store & they happily let me in but removed the exit to keep me from leaving. Plus, when I did find how to sign out, they told me I would be signed out of all other Google apps on my device. Why, does a business think this is a good way to treat customers. They sign you in without asking, then penalize you for signing out. Why, shoot yourself in the foot of any potential for me to come back? Tech is holding us for ransom as it is. I signed out & will not be back, if I can help it. Treat your customers like you would want them to treat you. It's how Walmart became so big. I'm out, like anyone cares...

I have a suggestion. As much as I love using this app, I have an annoyance that's isn't necessarily the fault of the app. Most music tends to fluctuate in volume intensity. I don't enjoy listening to my classical music only to throw my headphones off because one of them happens to start loudly nearly bursting my eardrums. I believe that some form of internal compressor mode can be used to help alleviate this problem. My suggestion is that this compressor program would have a setting where you choose the maximum level of volume intensity you can handle relative to the volume of the phone/device. This may reduce the quality of the audio, but if it doesn't force me to get tinnitus, then it's all good for me. I don't know if this is an impossibility, but I hope this might be something worth looking into.

PLEASE remove the banners on the bottom that cover the "up next, lyrics, related" buttons.. When you add a song to a playlist or remove from a playlist a small banner pops up and blocks the buttons slowing the user down from their workflow. Please move the banner to the top of the screen so that it doesn't interfere with workflow. To emphasise the confirmation banner appears at the bottom of the screen and temporarily overlays the action buttons. This interrupts workflow — especially when managing multiple songs quickly — because the banner blocks the UI elements needed for the next action. Suggested fix: Move the banner to the top of the screen (or use a non-blocking notification style) so it doesn’t interfere with the buttons below. This is a small change that would meaningfully improve the experience for users who actively manage their libraries and songs. Thanks for considering it.

Love it but could use work. I have been using this app for year's and it's an amazing app. I love the fact that I can listen to my downloaded music when I don't have service. But there are a few things that need work. First off I hate that when I answer a call it kicks me off of my music. Like it used to just pause it and I could resume my music after the call but now I have to go back to the app and restart my mix and it's super annoying when that happens while I'm driving. Another thing is that have to keep re-downloading the same playlist over and over again. I already downloaded the songs so why do I have to keep downloading the same content... Other than that I love this app.

Aight music app. I use this app to listen to all my music. However there are some songs that aren’t available on this platform but are available elsewhere. But one of the things that bothers me is the fact that there isn’t no features to listen to music on a playlist from oldest added to newest added. Because I don’t want to have to scroll all the way to the bottom of my playlist to listen to old songs I added. Also some other features that would be nice to have is the ability to filter through songs in your playlist so kind of like a search bar or options to help sort by music. Also another thing that would be nice is the option or ability that you can turn on or off to find new music not based on music you listen to already so you can find and explore new music from people you probably haven’t heard of.

Frustrating. I pay for this app and have become more and more frustrated. I have been dealing with the same issues for over a year now and sometimes it decides to work so I have kept paying for the app but the app will just randomly stop playing music and close out. Everything takes forever to load especially my list of downloaded songs which I should have access to even without WiFi but it doesn’t even work with WiFi. The most annoying thing to me lately is I cannot search for songs, it won’t even act like it’s loading, it just sits there on a black screen. I try to close the app and restart it and will do that multiple times with no resolution so then I just get frustrated and end up picking from my recently listened to music. I have put so many hours into downloading music so that I can listen to it when I don’t have service but I am very close to cancelling and going with a different music app.

Needs improvement. I’m not sure what’s been going on with this app? I’ve used it for years and love it however, recently it’s just buggy and doesn’t load. I would open the app and it would show a black screen, couldn’t search music or anything. Finally the page loads normally and can play music but playlists, downloads, etc. won’t load. If you want to download a song or add it to a playlist you have to hit the button over and over again or refresh the page to get it to work. Also what is the point of having a downloadable offline playlist if you can’t listen to it offline? The premium subscription price gets increased while the functionality of the app degrades. How does this make any sense? This app is a headache anymore, I don’t want to have to go to another music app and make playlists all over again there but that’s what it looks like it’s coming to.

Opinion. First off I like the app and only got it out of curiosity. But it’s a good app, the only problems are that now EVERY single time I go on and get a notification and go to a different app and the music stops because I don’t have premium and don’t care to get it and I go back on the app it’s always a “do you want premium” back. No I don’t. I don’t care for it. And every time I clear the app I ALWAYS get a notification a few moments later asking if I want premium. It’s annoying and I’m so close to considering deleting the app because now every time I say no to the premium thing every song now I get an add not every few songs like it used to be. It’s annoying and I’m really thinking of just deleting the app because I don’t want to be listening to music and after every song have an add. Fix it please.

To The Chief Musician. I love the variety of talent. There is an err in lyrical content. This country is under God. The use of profanity, defamation of women, and promotion of drugs along with multiple slanders ruins some experiences. Yet. There is talent to be had in listening. One cannot grasp and control the culture of people. They stray. That’s it. Will I love music and continue to listen? Yes. How else would I find you somewhere whispering in someone’s ears while they fight their spiritual battles? I pray I am not overbearing upon the soapbox today. I love you and our friendship with Christ as we know Him. I’m feeling blessed today. I pray in my heart that you do too. Good luck if you ever need such a saying upon ye. I love us. The Body Of Christ. We are looking for Him. Farewell. Wherever you are. Love Casey Alan Collins.

You Tube music & Music videos. I use this nearly everyday. I was a teenager in 1970, the greatest era music will ever know, I can find all of that energizing music here, on this app. It is rare when there is a signal problem, it does happen but If I put a number on it and the reason Is usually loss of Wi-Fi and I’m usually in the same location when it happens to me. Occasionally maybe twice a week it may stop and it just takes a touch of my phone to restart it all in all its a non issue, if you receive a call it will stop and as soon as the call is over it picks back up where it stopped. I personally love it can’t stump it(I can find about any song I’ve ever looked for. Concert footage fantastic takes me back to my happy place. I could go on but I need to hear some great rock and roll now!

Good but definitely has some issues. I’ve been using YT music for years, its pretty nice. But… I do have issues where I can remove songs off playlist or even edit them. Like it will let me do it and I’ll save, but it never truly saves. Also weirdly I’ll have it glitch out and close the app half way through a song on my playlist. Then for some reason the app always wants to start the song halfway through the song where it glitched out. So I have to keep setting the playtime to 0 every time I play that song. Don’t know how to fix it, tried looking it up and well I can’t find any way to solve this issue. So I went on the YTmusic website and removed the song that way. I tried adding it back on my playlist to see if it would fix and it didn’t. Another thing that’s weird when I use the website the song doesn’t start half way through but the app still does. It makes me sad.. :(

You Tube Music. Hands down blows away any other music application and they just get better and better I love that they can make you up your own compilation from what data they gather from your musical history also love the offline storage so just in case you can’t get a signal or can’t afford to pay your bill there is a song collection that they have downloaded for you again based on your history and your playlists and the best part is that it’s free unfortunately some things you have to get the subscription to enjoy like no ads and endless music even when you hop on another app they still let the music keep playing. AMAZING I’ve been using this app since it popped out and don’t plan on giving up my spot for anyone else I love this app!!

you did better. the app is working much faster and just performing better i’m really enjoying using it again and not having it feel like starting a 60 year old car but the UI still needs an upgrade and there is a plethora of things that you could do you improve the app like make it so you can look at your playlist when making a radio got yourself is you don’t have got leave every two second a and restart you r entire selection, it implement an ai into the app is tell is when you click on start a radio on your favorite song it actually check a and make a sure that the songs it’s going to play are even slightly related. but that’s just a few problems i have alll and all the app has been improved so thank you very much

App is good, but far from perfect. At times when you start the app or an individual song in a playlist, it will either A) load an incomplete version of your playlist or B) load the audio from one song and display the cover art and name of another. If a playlist long enough and you choose a song far back enough in said playlist, the app just won’t bother to load the entire playlist into your queue. You can get around this by initially selecting a song further into the playlist and then going back in you queue. Sometimes you’ll see the name and cover art of the song you intended to listen to, but hear the actual audio from a completely different song. Once again, this can be fixed by going to a different part of the queue and going back to the song you originally meant to listen to.

5 year user. this app seems like the best thing since sliced bread. it's a joke. ever since they fired that one team a few years back, the one in charge of the updates, all they care about it pushing you "music heard in shorts".... no algorithm updating, there's a new glitch everyday (i'm not exaggerating, today was the display glitching and becoming unusable when you tilt your phone, yesterday it kept crashing) and then there's problems that are consistently not fixed such as when you raise your phone and it turns on, the music automatically softens and doesn't come back until you restart the app(this could be a setting in my phone but i've looked and looked and can't find it, this issue is by far the most aggravating, like i go to check a notification, then i have to stop the song and restart the app) this used to be by far the best music streaming app. now it's one of the worst you can use. I am not looking forward to transferring my hundreds of playlists back to apple music.

Takes too long to play music. When I first open the app it takes around 10 minutes from the time I search for a song for any search results to pull up. Imagine paying for premium services and you can’t even have music play when you need it because the app is broken. Same for downloaded songs. I thought the entire point of downloading songs was to have music to play when you had no service. I lose service, go to song downloads, wait 10 minutes for the library to pull up before I can even select something. For someone that spends much time on the road this app is pointless if I have to drive in silence and/or keep looking down at my phone because the app doesn’t work. I’ll be switching here shortly if this isn’t fixed.

Great but there is one issue. I have a playlist titled “Music” on the account “Opium Radioactive” or “@OpiumRadioactive” that has 250+ songs and it doesn’t generate all of the songs when I start it from the start of the playlist, I don’t believe anyone has done this, but I think I’m the first. I have to start it at the end of the playlist before listening to the playlist in shuffle mode, and on the song 3G in the playlist, it doesn’t generate the all of the playlist, it goes from song “TRAGIC” to “goosebumps” and misses tons of songs. Like I said, I think this is the first time anyone has had this large of a playlist before. I would like to have an extension to generate the whole playlist even though the playlist may be 1000+ songs long

Why did we get a step down?!. I honestly am very disappointed and will probably cancel my subscription because of how bad this app is. Google Play was so easy to find your playlists and organize them and even just find songs in you playlist. Now it takes multiple clicks to find my liked songs (which I had downloaded but then the app bugged out and said I had no downloaded playlists even though my phone storage said I had 12 gb of music downloaded). The app crashes way too many times while using it. There have been multiple occasions where I will pause my music to take a phone call and when I end my call, the app will restart and stop my music playback. Other times my downloaded playlists will reply the same song over and over again and my playlist will disappear. These problems force me to cancel my family plan and switch to an alternative even though I really don’t like any other options, I am forced to do so based on how long these problems have been around.

Forget previous review...I love this app. Update: I figured I’d leave the prior review there to show how stupid I am... just don’t touch the screen so hard and those songs will move all over the place with incredible ease. I figured it out by accident.... moron moment over... love this app now more than ever... love love love Look, I love this service because it has literally every song/cover/live version etc. of everything.... however, I spend all day making these playlists that I cannot rearrange!!!!! I click edit, the equal sign (I don’t know what else to call it) appears on the left and I have to touch that thing like 87 times before I can get it just right so the stupid menu doesn’t come up instead. I HATE IT. It is literally so frustrating it makes me not even want to use the app. I’ve had to resort to deleting things that I want to be at the end of the playlist and then adding them again just to get them to where I want. Please please please fix this or make it easier or bigger or something. It’s literally a crapshoot on whether I can touch it just right so I can pull it up or down in the playlist. I can’t be the only one this annoys. That would shock me to the core....

Not user friendly. Very little effort put into development.. The amount of features that should obviously be in this app that are not is literally insane, it continues to surprise me how many features aren’t in this. It is very annoying how long downloads take to load, like seriously, they’re supposed to be downloaded. You also can’t pin playlists which is the most annoying feature about this. You also have to manually refresh your playlists to update what you have downloaded. The ai album covers for playlists is literally useless. Downloading doesn’t even work all the time, there’s a lot of times a few songs on a playlist of mine won’t download unless I remove the whole playlist as a download multiple times till it’s downloaded. I could go on all day about how this is not efficient to use for music if you actually are a frequent user. Don’t buy it or use it. I’m only stuck with it cuz my dad pays for it.

Annoying bugs. I love the app but there always seems to be bugs. Like the songs in my playlist won’t just continue to the next track after a handful of songs have played ex ( 1-15 and then stops playing songs and also at time will revert to the first song in the playlist. If I pick a song far down my list and expect it to go to the next song on the list or I choose to skip to the next song it reverts to the first song in my playlist and it is highly annoying. And also when I click shuffle to get a random order of my songs in a playlist i seem to get the same songs or even better, songs that aren’t in the playlist at all after a short while!!! PLEASE FIX THESE BUGS. and the playlist forever having the downloading symbol as if songs are waiting to download the should have already downloaded

Good but no random shuffling. It's fine but is missing a lot of key things that other apps and services can do 10x better The main issues I've found are: - Not being able to choose a picture for playlists (it has to be some generic ai generated thing that never looks right or is what I want) - Shuffling isn't random. I wish it was an option to have "catered shuffling" or "random shuffling" cause I'm tired of the same 20 songs in my 900+ song playlist, I want to hear all of my music not just the same few over and over. - Bug where hitting shuffle again will play the SAME ORDER as previous shuffle, meaning I get the same exact lineup of the same songs when I just heard them an hour ago or the previous day in the same order - when songs get unlisted or removed it doesn't tell you what it was, making it impossible to replace the song (this is a big problem for Nintendo music specifically since they lack "official" music videos) - I wish you could add one song to multiple playlists, rather than having to click through for each playlist. When I discover an upbeat song I wanna put it in my everything and upbeat playlist, so let me select as many as I want then hit "confirm" rather than add to playlist, scroll, add. Add to playlist, scroll, add

Where are my playlists. What useless braindead halfwit decided to change the way playlists are listed so that the only way you can actually see all of them is by viewing them as recently changed. I named my playlists in a certain way so that when I view then a-z they’re all in a certain spot so I can change between them very quickly especially if I’m switching songs while driving. This completely useless change now forces me to view my playlists as recently changes and I now have no idea what order they’re in or where the one I want to go to is actually gonna be. Even if I do press playlists and list them a-z like it used to be then it straight up just cuts off a few of them at the bottom because I guess for whatever reason it can only list a certain amount when you sort them the way you want but when it’s sorted youtubes way it can list them all. What a great way to run your app. I wish zero star was possible

this app is great but. it could be better the “my mixtape” is just music that i went out of my way to find it music i have in my likes or downloads rarely is there new music in there that i haven't heard, along with that if my mixtape is supposed to be songs that i like and etc then don’t play different music at different times, in the morning it plays different music than in the afternoon and night which is okay but i like to hear everything and my morning music is the same as my night time and my afternoon music. Along with the play more music for me, if the new discover playlist or whatever it’s called is supposed to help me find new music it would be nice to make it more accurate I've never liked a song that played in that playlist and it’s not even the type of music i listen to and i’ll listen to anything. also it needs to be updated all the time not every Wednesday.

Content winner, though lacking some polish and features. Hands down, the most music of any service. If it's a song that was recorded by humans it's probably in here. And will at some point come across your station. End of the day that's what matters most to me for a music service. Exposure to content. That said, the app is missing a few minor convenience features present in other similar services. My biggest peeve, no Windows PC music only mode. I listen to music a lot at work and would prefer not to eat bandwidth for videos I'm not watching. While in power the app has no option to keep the screen on meaning I have to unlock my phone to thumb a song down while driving. And the most minor, no way to thumb down a song that's not currently playing, gotta stop playing the current track, start playing the other one, then thumb it down. Also, why no access to comments?

Best app ever recommend. I first got this app and it was amazing. I was as I’m watching Nicki Minaj and everyone else you can watch so much things you can watch Chi Chi, Choppa, Chubba and I love it so much I would recommend this app so much if you were looking for music and it has so many songs, listen to like I don’t know just when you get it you can pay if you want but you don’t have to cause you could just listen to it and I’ve got it even though a bunch but you should get this because it’s the best ever developers, please respond to thisI am enjoying this app so much developers please please please please please please respond it means so much to me. Thank you for listening to this very very very long message. Bye-bye and hope you all have a nice day.

Is song available or not?!. It’s annoying how a song I had downloaded becomes unavailable, without me knowing, but what I really can’t stand is when a now unavailable song stops my whole shuffle play. When a song is no longer available it’s there, but it’s not there? Like if I have my downloaded music playing on shuffle & a song isn’t available anymore, I guess it’s still in my downloads & when it comes to that song it’ll just stop playing. Half the time I am not near my phone or have it on me, especially when I’m working. Then I have to stop what I’m doing, walk to it, or climb down a hill just to switch songs. If it’s not available, then it should automatically be deleted or at least not make my music playing come to a halt! Why can’t it just skip that song & keep going?! Happens all the time! So frustrating!!

Get rid of the explicit warnings. I know there are songs that I listen to that talk about depression and self destructive behaviors. Im old enough to listen to that. There is a setting that turns on the “filter explicit content” filter, so why do I have to be reminded that the song is “explicit and may contain topics about self harm and suicide and blah blah blah”. Stop interrupting my listening experience. When the warning pops up, it completely stops playing music until you skip the song, or close the warning. And this is a big issue when I’m driving, because i don’t know if I have bad internet, or it’s stuck on one of those songs, which pulls my attention off the road, and puts me in a bad mood. Im glad that the warnings only really pop up on the more popular songs, because if it didn’t, 50% of my playlist will constantly be halted by some dumb warning.

This app has serious issues. I started using YouRube Music several years ago because it had music that wasn’t available through other streaming services. Now that the others have caught up in genres like indie, classical, and K-pop, I’m seriously considering leaving YT Music due to the long-standing, unresolved app issues. 1. Shuffle play does not work. I would expect a playlist to play randomly and thus to hear all songs an equal number of times, but some songs are definitely played frequently and some songs in the playlist never or rarely come up with random/shuffle play. Other music streaming apps have a shuffle/random play option that actually works. 2. Songs are randomly swapped out for other versions. For example, a song I’ve added to a playlist in its studio recorded version will suddenly we swapped out for a live concert version of the song, or a mixed version/special release, or even a different language. This is extremely irritating.

Agonizing.. No words to describe how horrendously optimized the mobile version of this app is. Frequent bugs a glitches mess with the display ratio, locking you out of necessary buttons to use the app. The autoplay is shockingly upsetting, playing the most generic and annoyingly popular music. The autoplay is soulless, I mean it in full. I’ve gotten ads mid song. Ads are okay, but mid song. The search engine often hides your keyboard randomly, needed to reset the app just to access it, which really slows down the music listening process. Car rides aren’t tolerable with this, having to maintain my phone and the road, for reasons only Christ could answer, you cannot let your phone be on any other page, let alone be turned off, without premium. Bootleg apps handle these issues better than a multi billion dollar company, Google. The developers responsible for this tragedy we call the forefront of technology, are, and I can’t stress this enough, agents of Satan. Please reflect on these issues.

Good but.... Been using the plataform for almost a year. It’s good but could have some improvements. Some of the songs are not recorded at the same volume so that creates a fluctuation when listening causing you to constantly adjust the volume. Second there’s no way (or at least I haven’t found it) to arrange the downloaded music into files in order to listen “offline”. Because you can have files, but they won’t play unless you are online. Offline you can arrange the songs in a “play next” but it won’t stay like that when you close the app. I would appreciate if someone tells me how to do this. Because I would like to have a “working out” file or “reading” file to listen offline.

Plz fix. I've been using yt music for about 3 years now, and I haven't had any major problems or issues until recently. Whenever I try to add a playlist to my queue it gets all messed up and won't play next, for example I listen to a song and want to add my playlist to the queue except it only adds 4 random songs from that playlist instead of the entire thing. Or it'll glitch out a lot and mess up what I'm listening too. I was usually pretty satisfied with the recommendation system but lately I'll click on one song from a popular artist and it will become my entire reccomended, versus when I want to get a specific artist I like but it won't reccomend me stuff like that. The other thing I was having problems with was the offline mode. It not only takes forever to load, but usually glitches out and doesn't work as well as it used to a while back.

Terrible 2023 Recap. I rarely review apps, but I have no clue how the 2023 recap was so bad. To start, the minutes were way off, as I listen to music on my two hour commute daily, which was the daily average. I listen to music while I work, while I study, while I drive, and even to fall asleep sometimes. So the daily average of 2 hours was my first sign it was inaccurate. Some people mentioned it only counts streamed music… which makes no sense at all - what’s the point of locally downloading songs if it stops tracking that entirely? The recap seemed to only have music I listened more to towards the end of the year. Overall, pretty disappointing because I was looking forward to those details. Other complaints would be the fact that there’s no filter options like most listened to song. That’s a big feature from google play music that’s STILL missing. As well as the separation of uploaded/downloaded music from the rest of the music sources.

Good but not perfect. I like the app I’ve used it for a while and can say there are definitely a few problems. You can’t listen to your music in the background meaning you have to leave your phone open on the app at all times in order to listen to music (Unless you have premium). The app’s pretty buggy too not playing songs without having to close and reopen the app or just stopping the song entirely. It doesn’t help that the app ask me to buy premium everytime I close the app willingly or not. Also why are some songs unable to save to my playlist because “This action is turned off for content made for kids?” Like bruv I just want to listen to The Power Rangers: S.P.D extended intro but I can’t even do that because it’s “Made for kids” when did we start restricting who can save what music to their playlist?

Can’t believe sorting playlist is not an option!. I’m using this app because all of the songs I love are on it. This is how it earned 3 stars. If the rating was for the app itself, it would earn 1 star. You can’t sort your playlist alphabetically, which means that I can’t find anything in my 1000+ song playlist. I spent over an hour sorting part of it manually, but it reset back to the original order, by date added. (Date added? Really?). In addition, you can’t remove a song while it’s playing, so I am stuck with all of the songs that I added by mistake, or in duplicate. Also, so stupid that you can’t put children’s songs in a playlist? How lame is that? It seems to be some sort of misguided attempt to protect children, but it’s moronic and makes it so much more difficult for parents to play the songs that their kids want to hear over and over….

Could be great, but…. This app would get 5 stars, but I am honestly getting tired of all the extra unnecessary ads. Not only are they more frequent, but 3 times longer. If I am in the middle of something and don’t have my hands free skip because I’m say, swimming, showering, etc. I sometimes have to wait almost 8 WHOLE MINUTES for 1 ad to be over. That is way too long for any ad. There’s absolutely no reason they should be any longer than 45sec. Also the suggested songs are always songs that I literally just listened to. Why would I pick a song that I just heard less than an hour ago? I wish it picked similar songs, or songs that I’ve never heard before instead of the same 10 songs. If these main issues get resolved I will gladly change me whole review, but until then, it gets no more than 3 stars.

If you have premium, just use the regular app. In the music app, sooooo many songs are “unavailable” and apparently you can still listen to the actual song outside of a certain playlist, which is obviously a bug. Hate that. My biggest problem is that there is a lot of music that is unfindable on the music app because, if it’s something like a video game soundtrack and it’s listed under “video games” instead of “music”, which means you can’t even find it on this app. Can’t listen to Teshno’s extended Spooky’s Jumpscare Mansion OST, which is something I listen to a LOT. Using the regular app is a pain, especially since it really clutters your YT interface on every device to have so many albums saved and playlists created, but it’s less of a pain than using the music app. Google, your a mega corporation, is it so much to ask that you fix your stupid app that millions of people use? Or is it because SOMEHOW you maintain 4.7 star rating that you will never see a reason to fix it?

Amazing app!!!. I use it every day for listening to music while driving and while I’m at work. The capability to download playlists offline and create my own playlists and radios are always an added bonus! The only downside to this app is, when I have it playing through CarPlay or sometimes even just listening with earbuds in, if I get a phone call or go to a different app for a few seconds with the music paused in the middle of a song the app kicks me back to the main screen for the app if that makes sense and I have to go back to the playlist I was listening too and find what song I left off on which may be a big fix eventually, hopefully fingers crossed but other than that I have no complaints with the app I love it!

Horrible organization. Once a song makes it in to your downloads, regardless of whether you liked, downloaded or listened to it, it never leaves. I have a few songs in my downloads that I can never get rid of and that list keeps growing due to unknown reasons. When you go to library, you can see downloaded songs but when when you click the three dots, there’s no option to remove a song from the library. No matter how many times you dislike or report a song once it enters your downloads, even without your consent, it stays forever. Also, if you download a library and add songs to that library don’t assume the song will automatically download. You have to click each individual song to download if you want to listen to it. It seems like the app is designed to force you to listen to songs you don’t like and try extra hard to make sure the songs you like actually end up playing.

Not working when offline. I’m not happy about the behavior under unstable cellular environment or offline. This is really common when you road trip. 1. When I’m playing online music (my mix) and driving into non-cellular coverage area, the music stops and it stops forever. It should continue playing my downloaded music automatically without me touching the screen. It’s dangerous to do so while driving and I cannot easily navigate to the download page (see #2). 2. When I suddenly lose the cellular connection and I want to play downloaded music, I need to navigate to the “Library” page. However, the app somehow still thinks I have the connection and tries to load the page. The page is stuck in that loading circle forever and I cannot head to the downloaded music page. The only way to get around it is to kill the app, go to Airplane mode, go back to that page, and now you can see the offline version. It’s so ironic that you have to have real network connection to play the downloaded music.

Really good app, Would totally recommend!. I really like this app and it’s really helpful and easy to use! When the app gives me my progress on the music I’ve been listening to, it actually gives me artists and songs I listen to and I can skip as many songs as I like! The only time the app gives me ads is when I’ve skipped some songs. And the app does recommend me most of the songs and artists I like but some songs aren’t really my thing but the main thing that would improve this app a LOT is if they added a setting where you can remove some of the tabs they recommend me because I’m getting a LOT of music that they are recommending me and it’s just a lot so yeah that’s all I have to say

It’s great because. It’s very organized and convenient. But there are a few problems: 1. When I move around songs in my playlists in this app, the changes don’t stay. 2. Some videos are treated as songs and show up in liked music, but some actual songs don’t make it onto here. I wish that I could report videos as “not songs” or remove from liked songs list but keep as liked videos on the other platform. And same with songs that aren’t registered and found on here. I wish there was an option to label yourself what songs you want to show up in this app. 3. Songs in playlists are actually the music videos, and you can’t tell the difference when looking in the album. Music videos sometimes have more sound effects and extra bits, so I have to search separately outside of the album to find the plain audio version. 4. This is both a helpful and annoying feature, but when you dislike a song, it immediately moves to the next song. I wish there was a way to turn that setting off/on. 5: Bug: For some reason, the screen with the album cover and the skip/play/pause/next song list buttons sometimes automatically moves down so that the browsing songs menu, or whatever menu is underneath there like playlist or album list etc, is there with the song you are listening to as a small rectangle at the bottom showing the name, picture and play/pause on that small sliver. I watch it do this all of the time by itself without me touching it and I have to move away from the album/playlist so my pants don’t accidentally switch to another song in that list. This is very annoying. Despite the many problems, this app is very convenient, and I don’t mind having to leave my phone on or not changing screens, because it’s only fair since I don’t have premium.

Why Did You Remove The Feature That Allowed Us To Find Remixes From The “More” Button?. (Updated On Exp) Starting to love this new look actually. I can see the songs I enjoy replaying come up well at the top section. What was great before was tapping a track that I’ll enjoy, and wondering - what would some remixes/covered/related tracks sound like. The older “more” button or what the current “i”/“Information” button had previously done this. It was awesome! I was hooked. I could find so many great songs from other artists/DJs and so on by finding a great hit, then tapping those buttons. Now those features aren’t to be found. I don’t feel confident paying because I can get the same great hits/music from streaming services that I’ve never tried before. I was a student for all the time I’ve used it (1.5 years) as well - so I really do love the app! It’s harsh pressing the info button and seeing nothing.

Cash Grab. If you’re coming from Google Play and if you’re already paying for a Google Play subscription, then this app may be perfectly suited to you. If you’re migrating from the free version of Google Play, you’re likely going to be very unhappy. The app seems specifically designed to annoy the user with as many roadblocks to enjoying their music as possible in order to force them into purchasing a subscription. The app will not run in the background without a subscription, so forget about using it in the car and having a gps running at the same time. Advertisements are played in between nearly every song, including music you already purchased. Often these would be video ads so if you’re on a limited data plan, that’s going to hurt. Downloading your music is a premium feature as well. YouTube’s global head of music, Lyon Cohen, stated in an interview at SXSW “There’s a lot more people in our funnel that we can frustrate and seduce to become subscribers,” and it appears he’s making good on that. Google Play generated income off me in their free service by playing ads on their radio, which I was fine with and presumably by taking a cut of the sale whenever I purchased an album from them, which I was also fine with. However, I won’t be bullied into paying for a subscription. I’ve transferred my music to another service and will not be purchasing further music through Google/YouTube which is a shame as I felt Google Play was really well done.

New update is garbage. I generally have been pretty happy with this app. I switched from Apple Music a couple years ago, and other than having to recollect all my music was pretty happy with my change over. However the quality of the app in the last year has seriously degraded. The newest update is absolutely awful. The app has never glitched more. Will take me so long to add a song to a playlist due to the plethora of glitches and slow reaction time. The algorithm has gotten worse over time as well. Hardly introduces new songs or similar songs to my liked category. Often will just play the same songs over and over again. I’m so tired of the quality of our entertainment services degrading year after year because they know we will continue to pay the money for because what else are we going to do short of living under a rock. Do better

Awful Algorithm. The only songs i listen to are kpop or alternative music. Maybe some rnb but only sza and chloe x halle. My entire recommendations are hip hop, rap, pop or tiktok songs. No matter how many songs or artists i dislike, time and time again, they only recommend them more. I can't tell you the amount of harry style, drake, taylor swift, lil wayne, kanye west music i have disliked yet they're all my only recommendations for "songs chosen for me". I maybe actually get 1 or 2 suggestions from artists i have consistently liked or music ive heard. No matter how many times i refresh, its always the same artists I don't listen to, with the same songs. I don't understand. Also they recently took away the feature where sliding down on the music you're listening to when in the app would stop the music, now it does literally nothing except go into the next song. Small thing that has been upsetting me as well. Please fix the algorithm to people I actually listen to for the love of god.

New Update Is Not IT. Deviated is an understatement to how upset I was when I saw the new update today. Nothing I regularly listen to is easily accessible to play (which is important if I’m driving). The first list of songs it wants me to listen to are long listens (some of those songs are by musicians I never listen to or consistently thumbs down). The over all organization and algorithm is terrible compared to how it was before (simple can be good and it was fine before). Now I have to ignore so many categories and scroll farther down to find quick picks which is what I mainly listen to. I’m only giving two stars because at least quick picks still exists. In conclusion, stop over complicating something that’s not even that complicated 🥲. PS. Maybe add a feature where we could customize in what order what we would like to view first like (radio albums, long listening, covers and remixes, live performances, quick picks, etc.)

I hate this. Google music this is not.. I was a Google music user, for years and years. Would have or not have subscription throughout, depending, but would always store my library online with it and use it. This... is awful. Trying to play your music library is painful, so deep in menus, and somehow I always end up being pulled into some mode of having to hear either ads or other songs / artists I don’t care about. Basically, this is the music app for people who don’t actually know anything about music. It’s for that guy who listens to “whatever” on Pandora. It’s not for people who like particular artists, or who have any love for albums. This service is a mess just like every other Google product has become over the years. Sad truth. Just wait until they abandon it.. because they always do that. Instead of fixing a few things on Google Music, they killed it and gave birth to this mess. I don’t need all this junk, I just wanted a music player. So, back to loading everything onto my device via iTunes I guess.

Could be better. This is a good app yes but I would love if I could just listen to music in the background of playing games or reading, I don’t mind ads but if people should download this app it’s probably because they want to listen to any of there favorite songs on here while doing something they shouldn’t have to get a preview or buy a membership just to listen to music in the background they should automatically have it as soon as they get it. I understand if you use the money to help the app but maybe change the listen to music in the background to no unlimited skips but like I said in the beginning it’s a good app it really is I like that I could listen to songs I can’t play on other apps but yeah great app just that’s what I feel like should change. :)

Good App, but has lingering bug and purposefully degrading user experience based on ads. Good-overall, has great song selection, playlists, and functionality. BUT, there’s a frustrating bug that’s been around for months! When a song transitions and an ad plays, the ad often stays in the background where you can hear it playing but don’t see it, forcing me to go back to the main menu and re-select the song to skip it. It’s dangerous while driving and I’ve submitted feedback requests to get it fixed and nothing after multiple updates. For advertisers note that YT will purposefully play your ads longer for fake reporting but in reality we are not by the phone to skip it or we would! By hearing your advertisement repeatedly after every song, trust me you are the last business I will go to.
