Ratings and Reviews
Room for improvement
Overall this is a really encouraging start. There is much that is great about this app for classical music compared to the iTunes app. But my top of the list feature please would be the ability to give feedback through the app - especially related to metadata/track labelling errors when a user finds them. Given the vast amount of available music it is unsurprising errors arise, and it’s not clear how I could report these (really not keen on being on Twitter if that is the only other way to give feedback)
Finally, a music streaming service does classical music right!
Streaming services have been inadequate for classical music, grouping so much under the single genre label, missing the distinctions between artists, composers, period and composers. I really like the many ways I can browse music here. It should possibly be a native app to iOS and the iPhone, so that no one misses out on this!
It would be good too to see an integration too with iTunes when signed in, to allow both my library and the general store be divided in these ways, and to pick up from a playlist between the app and iTunes.
It would also be good to have a history feature, to see what’s just been played as well as what’s ahead (as in the regular app).
Apple Classical
This App is brilliant. I am 77 and this is what I have been looking for my whole life. There is so much beautiful music here. I am listening to Verdi’s “Un Giorno di Regno” at the moment. I thought I would never hear it again after my LP collection was lost because my hearing detiorsted so much. Thanks to Apple, Bluetooth and good headphones I can hear my favourite mudic again. If I were forced to pick only one App it would be this.
