Reviews for YouTube Music

← Back to YouTube Music

PLEASE add an alphabetical feature to playlists!! I had my playlist organized perfectly and I attempted to use the "newest first" option. Terrible idea. My playlist is now completly messed up and the hours I spent organizing are put to waste. This is extremely frustrating. I love using this app for music but this is not helpful. I would sincerely appreciate it if you added the option to order playlists in alphabetical order. It would make things a lot easier for myself and other who prefer this.

So, after using the app a bit much more, it's actually quite annoying. After the free 14 premium days experience, you notice how, after every ONE SINGLE song, an ad pops up afterward. Too much ads. The UI/ layout of the whole app can be inconsistent and therefore confusing. Ex: "Add to playlist" isn't in the same place when you're in the song you're playing or just in your watch history. Also just viewing your history is not a fast, quick, easy access, as in the library when on the home page.

This is the only app I'll use simply because I can actually build a library saving specific songs/albums and not just artists. And listen to exactly what I want when I want to, unlike Pandora or Spotify. I've been using this since it was originally Google Play Music. I wish they would make it so you can jump ahead on your artists list instead of endlessly scrolling. As well as organizing your music by genre and not just artists, songs, and Playlists.

I have YouTube Premium, which I only mention to give the most accurate and relevant review. I am not certain of the differences and how they impact the experience between Premium and Non-Premium. That being said, I adore the app. It's easy to navigate and laid out nicely. It's extremely similar to the "normal" YouTube but I love that it's for music only so there's no need to sift through videos that aren't related to music. It's common for there not to be a music video with the songs

YouTube music is my 1st choice when I want to listen to music. I can easily search for any song by title and musician and a very high percentage of time it is available. Most of the time it will play similar music for hours after that selection. However, occasionally the app doesn't recognize any or much related content. The thumbs up and down ratings help the app decide what to play but it doesn't limit it to selections you've rated.

It WAS great, until almost every song in "autoplay" or shuffle starting playing the clean version of songs. I'm am a 33-year-old grown man. I do not want to hear pauses every few seconds. This is extremely annoying and I saw I'm not the only one. PLEASE fix this ASAP before I cancel my subscription. $15/mo is already too expensive for a music app, especially since I already pay for YouTube Premium and YouTube TV. Very disappointed! Update: talked to a live agent today... trash!!!

I've been using YT Music for so long, love the ad-free music, the varieties, and the unlimited playlists you can make and how communitive it can be with AI and other playlists by others. But I've caught this one bug where the suggestion songs aren't playing it's music, instead, all the suggested songs play the first song listed on the playlist. I've tried restarting my phone, closing out of the app and pulling it back up, and refreshing yet nothing has helped.

It's an amazing app to use for music and helps download music, but I couldn't find the songs I was looking for. But it does have song recognition, and you're can pick your own songs. Although it doesn't recognize some songs and I hope they fix the app soon, but other than that, I recommend it. Way better than Spotify, Pandora, and other music apps

Recently, I started paying for Premium, because the idea of having my music with my screen off was too appealing. It used to be that I could go my whole work day across several apps with only one press of the play, unless i accidentally closed the app. Now, YT will stop itself not even halfway through the first song. It is a constant battle to hear the song stop, close my current app, open YTM, restart the song, go back to work, listen to maybe 2 songs and start all over. Terrible. Pirate.

For the last month (maybe longer), I've noticed my volume levels are significantly lower than they used to be. At first I thought it was just me, but this is consistent across my phone speakers, Pixel Buds, and car Bluetooth. Today, I discovered that clicking between songs rapidly results in the same track being played at different volume levels at random. Seriously? I don't know what kind of processing Google added, but there NEEDS to be an option to disable all of it. This is ridiculous.

HONESTLY, I'll never use another music app over this one. You can customize your playlists. If you search a song and click on it, it plays the actual song you searched, instead of a radio of other music that's similar to what you searched for. And if you're willing to pay for premium (it's worth it, on my life) you can do it all without ads AND listen to your fav songs/playlists in the background. This is such a well rounded app. You really can't go wrong

I use this app every day! I don't think I could do without it! I always need to have music going. I literally can't be still, I have ADHD! Being still can be weirdly painful. Having music going, I can always be dancing and wiggling about. 😁 Of all the other music apps, this one works best for me! Also, it keeps track of my likes and rarely recommends music that doesn't suit my tastes. I have premium, so there's no adds. Plus, I can lock my phone and still listen to my music!

I've been using YouTube Music since 2016, and I've been in love ever since! It's a great app overall, with so much music, it's practically endless with the app! I do have a suggestion, though. I have 2,297 songs in my liked Playlist, and sometimes I want to have a blast from the past or find a specific song in my liked Playlist. is there any way you could add a search bar, or maybe a genre UI (like spotify) to make finding liked music easier? I think it would be a great addition to the app!

I've been using YouTube Music since it was created, over a decade now. YouTube Music has played an essential role in the latter half of my life, and other than occasional frustration with the song recommendation algorithm, I think it's perfect. I just hope it doesn't choose to change everything and cram "AI" down our throats, the way other things have been doing. Keep practicing one kick 10,000 times instead of 10,000 kicks once, YouTube Music.

I've had the app about a year now, and I am a YouTube premium member. My favorite things are that (if available), you can see the lyrics or view the video. If you know where to click, you can view info about the album and all the artists' most popular songs (if available.) I don't like if an artist doesn't have an album cover they don't show listed in my Playlists? They deserve to be visibly listed somehow? My music turns off after awhile...? I hate that.

I really enjoy YouTube music, and it's actually a great app for listening to music! I'm not sure if most music app does this, but I especially enjoy my recaps that I get every three months. I'd say the app accurately tracks my listening time. I don't know if it's my headphones, but sometimes my music glitches, and there are often changes to the like button size etc that go back and forth, but I generally don't mind it. I definitely recommend this app to anyone wanting to listen to music!

The free version is actually horrendous. Ads after every song/play of a song, if you get an ad, skip it and then select another song, it gives you another ad, most ads have a drop-down box with a link to their website that prevents you from swiping the 'currently listening' box down to pick a different song, said drop-down box doesn't close automatically if the ad ends or is skipped. The literal only good thing about the free version is that you can listen to music, everything else is terrible

It's a great app for listening to music, and it does have a music-finding feature that works similarly to "Shazam"(sometimes better than "Shazam"). You can also see the lyrics of most songs, but I just came across the first song I've ever encountered that has incorrect lyrics, after years of using the app, and I couldn't find a way to report it. The song is "Thailand" by AliceBand.

Hands down, one of the best music streaming apps out there. YouTube Music separates itself from other music streaming apps by including YouTube music videos, lyric videos, and live performances uploaded to YouTube. The only thing I would love to see implemented is an easier way to add songs to the queue or "Play Next." I'd love to be able to swipe left or right on a song to add it to the queue or play it directly after, and have it NOT be changed when I hit shuffle.

Huge library for building play lists. Almost every song I could think of was available to me. Two minor gripes: 1. Tapping a notification for new music doesn't always get me to the relevant screen, and instead just opens the app to wherever I had it last. 2. I would like an "undo" feature if I am in the middle of a playlist and I accidentally queue up a different song while browsing the app. That way I can just go back to what I was playing without having songs I recently heard.
