User reviews

Users appreciate the access to unique music content unavailable on other platforms, and some functional feature migration from Google Play Music. However, many criticize the app for poor audio quality, confusing UI dominated by music videos, and insufficient support for personal music uploads especially on Android TV. Key missing features include effective playlist management, album or artist search, and offline playback controls. The app also often crashes or fails to function properly on multiple devices including Android Auto and Chromecast, causing widespread dissatisfaction among longtime Google Play Music users.

Pros

Ability to access music not available on other streaming services due to YouTube's extensive library.
Successful migration of some features from Google Play Music to YouTube Music.
Integration with other Google products such as Chromecast and Google TV (though criticized in execution).

Cons

Poor audio quality compared to phone app and lack of option to switch between video and audio-only playback.
Inadequate support and playback issues for uploaded personal music files, especially on Android TV and Chromecast.
User interface is slow, unintuitive, and cluttered with YouTube videos mixed with music, causing confusion and a poor listening experience.
Lack of basic music app features like searching by album or artist, playlist management (such as rearranging or shuffling), and ability to remove unwanted songs or videos from playlists.
Frequent app crashes or failure to open promptly, along with poor functionality on Android Auto and Android TV including inability to shuffle playlists or play music exclusively. Also, lack of offline or 'downloads only' feature to limit data usage.

Love the app and services. The best part is that you can pull music from YouTube that's not available on other streaming services. My only issue is the Speed dial. Can't seem to remove songs not wanted or the feature completely. If my kids listen to a song or something on my account it end of in my speed dial. Just want the option to remove it.

audio quality is not as good at the phone app. no way to switch between video and audio only. cannot search for albums or artist, instead there is only the normal youtube video search. its a better experience (especially for audio quality) to just cast to your tv from your youtube music app on your phone
