User Reviews

Overall sentiment is mixed-to-negative. Pros mentioned include good audio quality, a large catalog, and playlist import, with some users preferring it to Spotify. The most cited downsides are disruptive UI updates that remove features, heavy ads (even for some premium users), high pricing, performance issues, and weak discovery. In short: the app has strength in sound and library but struggles with stability, pricing, and a churn of UI changes that frustrate users.

Pros

Good audio quality
Large catalog of songs
Ability to import/port playlists from other apps
Some users prefer it to Spotify in certain areas

Cons

Frequent UI/UX updates degrade usability and remove features (e.g., Up Next, Lyrics, Related)
Ad-heavy experience with multiple ads per song (even for some premium users)
High premium pricing / perceived low value
Performance issues like slow app speed and occasional crashes or interruptions
Weak or inconsistent music discovery/recommendations

I like this app, it’s fine. However if you’re switching from Spotify, there is no fade in. I have premium and there is no fade in/out, it was a VERY abrupt change and I’m still not satisfied with this app because of this.
