So this is the first time since 2016 or 17 that I came across this glitch. My phone got damaged and went to the App Store to replace it and once it was repaired I have to reinstall all my data, apps, etc, etc so back to having all my stuff, but as I was going to login to my account on Trending. It kick me out, thought nothing of it, try it again, but then a black screen is all I see then back to the Home Screen. “Odd?” I said and try it again. Same thing like the last time. Other time it functioned normally, until I go to settings and try logging into my account then automatically shut off and kick me out. I’m like “what’s going on?” There will be times where I can play music nothing happens just play the full music, but notice the screen when playing a music shows the loading circle thing and not playing the video but still plays music. There will be that circle bar that goes around the (back, play/pause, skip) doesn’t move. And again still playing the music. Please fix this. I truly enjoy this app a lot and gotten good music where other app doesn’t. Please and thank you!

honestly, I like the app, but then at the same time I kinda don’t like it because there are some flaws where it comes to performance of the app and whenever you’re trying to listen to songs off-line sometimes the whole music you downloaded or favorited disappears for like a whole 3-4 hours I know I’m not the only one with this problem because I know that this happened to my friends as well. I kinda need this app to be a little faster daily drive this app. It’s an amazing app. Don’t get me wrong, but I need this to be a little bit faster. Also, nobody uses the alarm option. And the equalizer doesn’t really work in my opinion. Also, whenever you’re trying to listen to music, it pauses out of nowhere. It gets really frustrating so what I normally do is restart my phone even though it’s not really my phone’s problem it’s the apps problem. I have a iPhone 11 and it runs perfectly fine, but then once every 2-3 months, the whole app freezes and it doesn’t work and whenever you’re trying to download music, it doesn’t download. Apparently you need to restart the app 5 to 6 times. In order to download the music or save the music. In conclusion, the app needs to be a little bit faster. Bug fixes performance updates more simpler in my opinion a little bit more minimalistic. I don’t like how it starts with the red maybe a new branding. Because trending has been going on for like what nine years or so or more thank you. Maybe this helps. Maybe I helped the developers. Please take this in consideration thank you.

Trending was a great app for playing music if even plays your music offline! Well on mine at least, either way I had this app for a yeah and a half. I deleted the app because of me needing storage however re-downloaded it and I regret it. I searched up my songs and it was good until it didn’t even show up my songs anymore when i searched it up. All it did was leave it blank which I found strange since it didn’t do this before, it mostly find songs that are more common instead than songs that are not as well known which they don’t even show up if they are not well known. Also there is ads, it takes around from 10-20 seconds for one to play, kind of disturbs me but I guess you can get used to it yet there weren’t as many ads as before. Overall,It mad me mad because the songs I used to hear I can’t find them anymore because the search won’t even show the songs and if it’s something that’s very common it shows the same one and you can’t find the different version most of the time, for example if you want to hear a slowed version of a song it will show the original version more likely. Either way maybe I just need to sign out? Furthermore, I just hope this gets resolved as soon as possible. Still like the app just not the fact of how some of my music doesn’t show up anymore. Add ons’: this app was good before but it isn’t the same anymore. Please FIX THIS.
Great app but not flawless

I love this app. It lets you make your own playlists see other playlists and has every song you could think of. I have made many different playlists with great music all from old to new and country to hip-hop. I also find it easy to figure out and easy to use. I understood it as soon as I got it. A lot easier to use then other music apps. But that’s the up-side. There are a few down-sides though. :( for example; let’s say you made a great playlist and have had it for a long time watch out because the app may just have a glitch and that’s all ruined and gone. Secondly, there are too many adds. Yes, I understand that is one way the get there money. But, pen time I was cleaning with my phone in my pocket and headphones in so I can bust out and clean fast for a party. What kept on happening was my music would stop over and over and over again so I would have to take my phone out of my pocket type in my password and ex-out the add and then my music would go again it delayed my cleaning and was just annoying. Music motivates me to do things and this was just making me frustrated and I didn’t know what to do. My suggestion is right when you first start listening to the first song in your playlist put the add there, or if you are adding songs to a playlist put an add there. I’m sure there have been other situations like this if you have a playlist for a party and the music stops then you have to go to your phone and speaker to exit the add and keep the party going. I’m going to get another easier app to listen to my playlist because yet again I have to clean and don’t want to get frustrated again. I hope the editors/creators will fix this so I can get this app that I loved so much once again. I hope this review will help.
