  1. [R2] LaMusica 5/5 · US Z: Excelente programación
  2. [R8] LaMusica 5/5 · US Morning show: The morning show starts my day on the right note. I have the volume blasting listening to all the great songs. The topics that the guys bring up are all very interesting. Eddie one is very intellectual. Smoochie of course always the controversial one in the show but this duo complement each other.
  3. [R11] LaMusica 5/5 · US El mejor programa RB: Tiene el mejor show Raúl Brindis y el mejor equipo con el por eso es el #1
  4. [R13] LaMusica 2/5 · US Home of El Barrio: While the content is fantastic, you can't access the programs as a podcast. To catch your favorite radio show, you'll need to transport yourself back to the 1990s and tune in at the designated radio time.
  5. [R1] LaMusica 1/5 · US Poor App: It doesn’t change stations without smashing. I have to close the app then open it again. Too much announcements when opening the app. Is a weak app.
  6. [R6] LaMusica 3/5 · US Good but…: Yo estaba conectado a la aplicación La Música todo el día. Me encanta El Despelote, What’s Up y El Reguero. Desafortunadamente, desde que hice el update a IOS 26, no he podido usarla. Cada vez que abro el app, el celular se sobre calienta de tal manera que hasta para de cargar. A la misma vez consume la batería en poco tiempo. Ojalá y puedan arreglar este problema.
  7. [R10] LaMusica 1/5 · US Interrumpiciones: Constantemente se interrumpe el programa, puede estar a mitad de segmento y se deja de escuchar o empieza a salir la cancion de la nena “la musica tv”
  8. [R12] LaMusica 3/5 · US Audio bug: When the app is launched it interferes with all audio from other apps on the phone, alarm won’t sound off, sound from IG reels die and others. I overslept because of it!
  9. [R7] LaMusica 1/5 · US No sirve: Son inconsistentes con su funcionamiento
  10. [R9] LaMusica 3/5 · US No comerciales al abrir la app: No me gusta que salgan comerciales al abrir la app, a veces quiero ver una noticia que está pasando y se pierden 10 segundos
  11. [R28] LaMusica 1/5 · US Anuncio en la pantalla principal: El problema de ese anuncio es que no me permite cambiar la aplicación porque no escucho las otras aplicaciones tengo que cerrarlo y por esa razón no lo estoy casi usando
  12. [R50] LaMusica 1/5 · US Propaganda: All of the sudden I get lots of advertising emails. That’s not why I signed up for. I don’t win anything and I get lots of trash email .., STOP IT !
  13. [R4] LaMusica 1/5 · US Audio Bug: I found a reproducible audio bug in v13.7.2, but the bug report form on the website also fails with ‘Something went wrong. Please try again.’” How can O report this?
  14. [R5] LaMusica 5/5 · US Updates: I love the app but a lot of the apps in the system need to be updated..
  15. [R16] LaMusica 1/5 · US Se frisa: Muy mala la app deben arreglarla se cae bastante
  16. [R58] LaMusica 1/5 · US Music: Way to many commercial’s
  17. [R64] Amazon Music 1/5 · US Worst music app ever: Horrible app doesn’t play the music or album you want it just shuffle to what ever
  18. [R65] Amazon Music 5/5 · US Love it: I hate when you have to hit shuffle to play the Song that you want, and this app doesn’t do that! I mean idk if it does if u don’t pay, but it’s not a bad price. And love that you can skip as many songs as you want
  19. [R74] Amazon Music 5/5 · US Good quality!: There’s no ads which I love and you don’t have to pay for it because there’s no ads, unlike other music playing platforms. I love the song variety and all of the abilities such as Queues, and Play Next.
  20. [R75] Amazon Music 3/5 · US Dislike Subscription Ads: I remember when I would ask Alexa to play a specific song by a specific artist, and it would play the song. At times, it’s telling me that in order to be able to do so I need to have the monthly subscription.
