  16. [R66] Apple Music 3/5 · US Apple Music: This app might be better then Spotify you have like as many skips as you need no ads and also the only bad thing about Apple Music is that at the end of the songs the like combined with each other song but yeah most of all it is pretty good love it you should try this app out
  17. [R74] Apple Music 5/5 · US Best music app: I never get any add I find every song that I want and and that’s all that matters to me

  19. [R101] Apple Music 5/5 · US <3: It's awesome, no adds, also very easy to use!!
  20. [R46] Edjing Mix 1/5 · US Warning: Don’t Update the app: Do you realize you can no longer record any of your mixes anymore. After over 10 years of being able to record your own mixes now you can’t. So the app is useless now.
  21. [R49] Edjing Mix 1/5 · US Years using this app what happened: This app has gone down now that you can’t save audio even if it’s music you uploaded from your own files that’s original
  22. [R61] Apple Music 1/5 · US Tim Cook needs to fix this glitch immediately.: The app starts when I get in my car, even though I DON’T have the app OPEN. So then I activated “require Face ID” to start. Even with my phone wallet cover closed this stupid app still starts playing. Search online and this has been an issue for over a year. Steve Jobs would have fired whoever was this careless. and FYI, Podcast app needs this
  23. [R63] Apple Music 3/5 · US Works okay but there’s an issue with controls: I removed the app from my iPhone 17 Pro Max because when I first connect USB to my car, even if Spotify is playing a song, the iPhone stops Spotify and plays a track from Apple Music. It plays the same Music track unless I delete it from my library. I’ve found a few issues with this app. First, when I deleted the Music track, it was one that I purchas
  24. [R81] Apple Music 3/5 · US Not All Bad: Great platform, great content, just wish the GUI was more functional. The new changes to the play bar are bizarre. Volume has been buried. I don’t like having to drill down to disable Random. The glass looks cool but let’s be honest, it’s not as functional. Feels like a step back.
  25. [R85] Apple Music 1/5 · US App still has syncing issues with iTunes on windows: It’s 2026, and this app still has annoying syncing issues with iTunes on windows. Album art gets switched around when syncing to the phone. Seriously, fix your apps.
