My niece recently got YouTube Music, and she said it has an excellent selection . . . she was even able to find special remixes of songs for the Zumba classes she teaches. On her advice, I did the free trial today. In less than an hour, I deleted YouTube Music from my iPhone.
What a piece of garbage software. Can't alphabetize songs in a playlist? Are you kidding me? This is a BASIC FUNCTION. Heck, Spotify lets me list the songs alphabetically OR in the order they were added, and it's simple to switch back and forth. There is an option to alphabetize playlists, but not to alphabetize the songs WITHIN the playlists? Absurd.
Also--and this is very annoying--pressing on the iPhone widget takes you DIRECTLY into previously played songs and starts playing automatically. That option would be okay if the widget also gave you the option to simply OPEN YouTube Music to the home page, without music automatically blaring in your face. The Spotify widget allows you to do either. That’s how you treat the customers who pay for your service: you give them choice and convenience. Imagine.
The only reason I considered YouTube music in the first place was the live, remix, and cover versions it offers. But who cares about the songs offered when I’m too annoyed by the app to even listen to them? I’ll stay with Spotify.
YouTube Music is a mess. It's frustrating and poorly designed. It is NOT user-friendly in the slightest. It’s a slap in the face to the customers who actually pay for your service and allow you to exist. Sort out your crap if you actually WANT customers. I’m glad I got this junk off my phone. Good riddance!
