Ratings and Reviews
Almost there
I’m quite happy with the app overall, I think it’s a great addition to the classical music browsing experience, but I feel like there are a couple features missing, such as:
- The ability to mark favourite works or recordings not only from the composer’s page, but from anywhere. There could be the options “add to favourite works” and “add to favourite recordings” in the three-dotted button.
- Once we’ve added a favourite recording, it’d be great to see it featured on the work’s page, just like the “Editor’s choice” that is featured on top. Same thing goes for a favourite work. It should be featured in the composer’s page as “Your favourited works”.
Nonetheless, it’s a great app and I hope to see new features like these in the future!
No HomePod support?
Out of the box, can’t play directly from my HomePod mini - only AirPlay? That seems like an oversight. This is disappointing, given Apple’s well known vertical integration model, but not surprising given their history with actually integrating their hardware and software half as well as they say they do.
Otherwise, I’m enjoying the new interface for Apple Music focused on the music I want to listen to instead of the always-present pop promotion in the main app.
iPad Version
This app works well on an iPhone but is quite poor as an iPad app as it does not fill the screen. Is it possible to create a version for the iPad?
