Download Apple Music Classical V4.1 APK From Android App Store Premium VIP Pro

Music streaming services usually don't cater to classical music listener, this one does, and it's brilliant at it

Nice content and superb organization for classical works, but Google Cast is broken (Cast works fine in the main Apple Music app).

cannot connect this app to my apple music in my vivo v29 phone (there was an error. please try later screen). Already sent a mail to apple support but not response yet. didn't expect this from apple, disappointed 😔

Useless for me. Doesn't work with Chromecast. Regular Apple Music app works fine.

Failed to connect to my Apple Music account. What is the point of this app? I will continue to listen to my music in the app that works.

Since the latest Apple Music update (B&W icon theme) Apple Music Classic can't be connected, which makes this app useless.

I just love classical instruments and music. What else can I say. This is probably the best place to find it..

Broken since last update. Something went wrong. Music app works, but not Classical.

HONEST AND GENUINE... GET OFF APPLE IMMEDIATELY...I JUST BINNED AN IPAD BECAUSE UPDATE LOCKED IT UP ABSOLUTELY AND COMPLETELY.... THIS COMPANY IS DOING THE LIGHT BULB CONSORTIUM SCAM ON ALL OF YOU... DO NOT EVER BUY APPLE. GENUINE WARNING ⚠️.avoid apple at all costs.. I hope you die apple (company)..

App is now fully broken. "There was an error, please try again later" appears and music cannot be played. However Apple Music still works. This app is a façade to attract classical fans but they don't care about it.

Literally more buggy than the Apple Music app, MASSIVE issues

Apple store USA content All the time app

PEAK GNG!

I love classical chess and classic!♥︎♥︎♥︎

Music is like a meditation of mind of every Cindy of living things.

Controls are limited compared to the regular. Why is there no shuffle play?

keeps pausing, skipping, not playing songs. sometimes crashes for no reason

I appreciate this particular niche app. As an audiophile this is a boon for me.

A oasis in the desert. Please never abandon this project.

Best variety of classical music for its lovers

Superb on iOS and Android

fantastic repertorio

perfect app for classic music

This is what separates Apple music from the other options for me.

open and connect

I'm glad this specialty niche is available via Apple Music. I don't always listen to classical but when I'm in the mood this has everything I need and so much more. In closing, it's really nice to get suggestions as to other things i might like to listen to at it expands my knowledge of this amazing genre.

the organization is very nice but the app crashes almost every day

High quality song

classical heaven

my like apk🥰

never knew a separate app for classical music would open up so much music I never knew off 😄

great app

Thank you.

classical all in one area. beautiful music

very good

constant sound cuts despite a good Internet connection

bad

Great 😃👍!!!!

Something went wrong. Try again... all the time ..

out of this world

App doesn't always work the way it should.

Best app possible for classical

so bad, at least play offline

I love it!

very elegant

best app out there to find classical music and get to know deeply about classical pieces

One of the best apps for discovering classical music and Symphony. The curated playlists are nice and enjoyable along with good visual aesthetics and at an affordable cost where you get apple music and classical bundled in one.

dignostic data sent over to Google and Apple with just a click of button along with sensitive data

Sublime.

Loads of different recordings of the same work. Plenty of chamber music. I'm really enjoying using this app.

It's a good idea to have a separate App, but Apple Music is quite good at showing new releases etc but looking for a new album today, had to use Google search first and noticed the catalogue number and label. Would be useful to search also by record label or catalogue number? also can't see how to download an album from the app? obviously can from the main Apple Music.

Also a great teaching tool for classical music...

the sound quality is so clear... it's just that some songs youd except are unavailable

This is a good app that functions effectively. However, the inability to control the app while driving presents an inconvenience. Integrating with Android Auto would significantly enhance usability, leading to increased adoption and a higher rating from me.

Best sound quality, far above Spotify and YouTube music.

the best

I cannot believe this is $12 per month. I wish I could exhaustively list each and every way this app fails, from its buggy interface to the infuriatingly frequent number of times it buffers and pauses the music for no apparent reason. The only "benefits" the app offers (that supposedly no other music app can) are a complete joke. The listening guides are only available for the most well known music, and provide no meaningful insight. Patronizing. Don't waste your money on this app.

excellent

Amazing app. I only wish it had a download option and more of the features of the main app.

As somebody new to classical music, this app is a godsend. I love the feature that tells you what's happening in the song instead of giving you lyrics. So helpful for a novice, such as myself.

very good UI and good info about pieces too!

love this with my apple music

excellent 👌

EDIT: The app now randomly skips the remainder of your current track if you leave it paused too long--unusable. Great information, great quality, buggy as can be - worst issue is that the app often (nearly always) loses my place when paused, restarting a track and sometimes a whole piece. It would also be nice to be able to cast, though Bluetooth serves as a workable substitute, and the lack of downloading is unfortunate. But the pause issue is bafflingly stupid for such a simple function.

great app, a little clunky at times.

Absolutely great

The Listening Guides and Editors Choice surpasses any streaming classical music site. The sound quality paired with Airpods have remarkable clarity. A lot of effort was put into this niche app and it came to fruition. Nice job Apple!

so nice and wonderful

Choc full of hideous mangled AI imagery. How hard is it to purchase a stock image?

an incredible and wonderful app for classical music lovers

the best classical music app since primephonic is gone...

Androidでは不安定

great app

I had no Idea about this app. I've had apple for years. I just found out about it by accident. what a fantastic find.

Doesn't have a parangon

Excellent app for classical music. The selection is to die for with categories and generes. The only disadvantage is that it does not load or play quickly. I guess it is because of the massive Meta data that loads with the albums. It also doesn't have a continuous play after the album ends. Apart from that I have absolutely no issues with it. The audio is excellent. I just love it being a classical guy.

keeps signing me out, which is nit much of a problem it's just a bit annoying. also sometimes refuses to play media for a while. other than that, great Android app

This classical music application offers a superior listening experience by managing tracks according to the authentic structure of movements and acts. Featuring an extensive library, the app organizes music into clear and explicit categories, allowing you to easily browse by composer, orchestra, and more.

Unavailable in your country. Apple Music is available, but not Apple Music Classical.

Hot garbage. Most of the time it does not want to actually play any tracks. I find I have to add it to my library, then use Apple Music to play it. A really stupid issue, since any music app needs to first and foremost PLAY music, not just be a glorified search tool for another app. At this point I only keep this app because it does make searching for classical music easier than Music does. But having to switch back and forth to play anything is really annoying. Edit: it crashes too.

good

somewhat fulfillingg

Worthless, will either Stop working in between a good song or won't play at all... being one the oldest music player / streaming apps in the industry with the worst performance...

Just not good.

Reliability is a big issue. Can't play a specific song from a long playlist from time to time. it seems to reload the whole list whenever I swipe back from a specific piece back to the playlist.

Refuses to connect to my Apple Music subscription. Worthless.

having trouble connecting to the app for the last two days. Apple music app is fine

Bless Set Free B-73 🎆 🎇 🙏 🙌 ✨️ ❤️

Best Music app for listening Classical Musics.

The selection of classical music is thin, and is very difficult to search for and enjoy even with this app.

it is horrible that the app does not have an interaction with Android auto, you cannot see what is playing and it is very unstable. love the content.

amazing experience with this app, I'm using it on an Android device

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Not sure about the low average but this app is great. I didn't understand why you need a separate app at first. I get it now.

still no native APPLE TV 4K app

The app needs to be better optimised for Android, it tends to jitter. Otherwise, it's a great idea.

★★★★★

Have had continuous issues with this app since 2024. It simply doesn't work. I can't load anything and suggests there is an internet connection problem. I can go through the normal apple music app and find the music no problem though and it plays fine. I can't understand how this app has been so unusable for so long. uninstalled it now and given up on it.

I changed from Spotify to apple Music to be able to have classical. 4 months now, and I still can't listen to a full song. It just pauses and skips. good idea, but very poor execution at least on android. I'm probably going back to Spotify

Great app when it worked. Out of the blue today, it just stopped playing music, and it stopped connecting to Apple Music for some reason. I cleared the catch, deleted app data, and went so far as to uninstall and reinstall the Apple Music Classical app. It says it is connected to Apple Music, but it still wants me to connect to Apple Music, and when I try to play a song, all I get is, "Sorry, something went wrong."

When music streaming became available, it fulfilled a childhood dream of mine: to have access to any music I could think of, and so much more. But this only applied to contemporary music like rock, metal, electronica, and of course jazz. Classical music just doesn't fit into the metadata architecture. This service is the first that gives me the same range extension for classical music that I once had for other genres. Finally, I can properly discover interpretations of a composer's work.

It's improving little by little. You came with the idea of offering the possibility to search by periods and well-known works. That's great for people new to classical music. But for the seasoned classical connoisseur, it would actually be great if you offered the possibility of searching by NOT so-well-known works. You can display it the way you want. Resurrected Voices, Echoes of Rediscovery, the Second Bloom, Canon Disruptors, Voices Beyond Europe, Hidden Masterpieces. Divide bass-baritone.

This app is completely useless, it has not functioned for months. Deleting and reinstalling does nothing. Apple seems to have abandoned it - there are plenty of reviews complaining of the same problem. Loved it when I first started using it - huge improvement in listening to classical music over the Apple Music app! Wish it would start working again.

I can browse any number of albums, radio stations, but nothing will play. Everything is 'Loading...', but never loads. I think Android users are exploited, we pay subscriptions, but are shortchanged re. app. Poor experience.

It's such a good idea to set up a classical app as it's a whole different ball game to rock and pop. But instead of understanding this, they set it up in a very similar way, for instance, recent releases, or new album. The app developers seem to be lacking any creative imagination. Artist essentials may work in other genres, but who really wants to hear one movement from a piece like Beethovens Ninth Symphony. also, unfortunately, the classical app merges with the rock version. Favs are shared.

Almost, there. The player could have a bit of a more simple layout, losing the separate play and pause buttons and just having a dual play pause button or progress button, with the fast forward to the right or below it and the rewind button to the left or above it. Back forward skip buttons could be ta slider, rather than two separate previous and next buttons. This layout as it is now, rather than my suggested layout makeso music player a bit of a screen hog and waste of space, but its Ok.

Really disappointing. I have been using the apple music app for many months and have been perfectly happy with how it's developed. I assumed this classical music app would work similarly. but it's impossible to cast to my Chromecast devices. absolutely essential for playing through hifi. The full screen 'now playing' screen only works sometimes (the screen you can fast forward), icons become unresponsive and don't work, 'add to library' is missing lots of the time. Shambles.

Apple Music Classic's song collection and quality are fantastic, far surpassing other streaming apps, even on Android. The premium song selection offers a pure cinematic experience. Completely switching to the Apple Music world. Thank you, Apple, for this amazing service!

Please add an option to exclude playback from this app from being used as suggestions the the main Apple music app. It's really annoying having classical songs pop up when playing though edm/rock/pop other song vibes (though the infinite play feature/personalized radios). On the bright side, the bug that caused the app to immediately crash upon entering search is finally fixed in version 2.2 (been occurring since v2 afaik)

Despite all the frustrations, this is genuinely a great app to listen to classical music. It has it's problems, and the problems are big, it's not the best app when it comes to playing music and lacks features like download and everything, but despite all that, it makes listening to classical music just so much easier. And the listening guides are very well written and fantastically curated. I cannot not recommend this app to anyone who's interested in classical music. Apple keeps on impressing.

(Edit for 2.1.1) Some things are currently missing or not working. This includes the missing download feature, browsing the playlists not working at all, tracks can't be added to the queue, and tracks sometimes not playing. If these things are getting addressed and we see continued support, this app will definitely be a worthy successor to Primephonic since the search is still the best that i have seen for classical music. It would also be nice if playlists would be separated from Apple Music.

It worked great and now it sucks. I don't understand what is going on. My the first thing I checked was to make sure that my subscription was paid up. Then I uninstalled and reinstalled it and then I force-stopped it and then I rebooted my phone and etc etc. So I just listen to my my stuff in in the regular Apple music app. Something is really weird. I've never had any trouble with it before. Pixel 9 Android user

Outstanding. This is a very well made app, with so much loving attention to detail & taxonomy & cross referenced to the hilt. Incredible amount of work has gone into this, and in the curation & snippets of information. Transcends just a streaming music experience. Oh yes, and what a fantastic music collection.

This is still full of bugs. Scrolling through albums is difficult, it only loads a certain amount, and then you have to scroll to the top and back down to load more, which can't be intended behavior. Also the booklets still aren't working at all, which is absurd for how long it's been and what a big feature they are. And there is no clear way to report and track bugs, Apple doesn't seem interested in problems with the app.

I think the concept of this app is amazing, I search for a symphony or opera and for some of the popular pieces there can be hundreds of recordings!!!! And I can search by composer, performer, orchestra, there is so much detail. I get to hear music in recommendations that I would never heard before. It gives me hope that classical music won't die out out as older generations pass on. I get there are a few bugs here and there but I also think people underestimate how important this app is.

An ad for this popped up while using Shazaam, so I thought that it was worth a try. I was hoping for something similar to Shazaam because classical songs can be hard to find since they don't have lyrics. You only have the option of searching by composer, instrument, etc. I understand that it is an Apple product, but if they're going to offer it for Android, then they should allow you to sign up using Facebook. I don't see creating an AppleID for one app.

Before, the app would crash about a fifth of the time. Now, it has stopped working completely. I haven't gotten it to play a piece in over a month, it just gets perpetually stuck on "loading." I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Nothing works.

UPDATE: Casting is totally unreliable, if it even works at all. How can functionality be getting worse with each new release? Metadata is great, reliability much less so. NEW REVIEW: This has stopped working today. It will not play any tracks. Apple Music is still working as expected. I un- & re-installed this app but with no improvement.

The buggiest app I have ever used! The idea of the application is great and I love it's curation but in the past two months the app has basically been useless on my phone. I press play on a song, it shows loading for eternity and nothing happens. I basically have to go to the main app to play classicals. The issues with this app need to be fixed ASAP. Otherwise, what's the point of it? Maybe convert it into a curation app for classical music if it cannot perform a basic play function.

App seems fixed for now, allowing playback again. However, I don't trust it wo t get broken again. I do love the app having a more helpful design to search by composer, piece, or numerous other ways than standard music apps use, which don't work well with classical music. Still no Chromecasting, so I have to use Bluetooth compression to go from my tablet to my sound system. So HiFi folks may want to be aware this app doesn't support wireless lossless on Android.

Often resets or if I pause and don't restart for a while it forgets where I am in a track before restarting. In terms of the concept it's solid - great to only have one subscription that gives you the properly organised meta data for classical as well as the option of the regular music app.

They seriously killed Primephonic for this? Apple could have easily made this basic experience without having to absorb what was once a fantastic service. And, as always, they neuter the Android experience by leaving out the ability to cast. At least Idagio is still around.

The app too often fails to work. When it does work, its great, but when it doesn't, it's rather useless. I currently can browse all the songs, but when you click play, it loads indefinitely and nothing plays. No matter what song I select morning plays. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app and still the same issue. Others have reported similar this happening in other reviews.

I love the vastly improved search and discovery features for classical music, but the technical playback capabilities are persistently limited and often broken. I keep the app installed so I can find classical music to add to my library, and then listen in the main app. Please merge the apps 🙏

I really love what this app is trying to do, it just has so many bugs it's often a pain to get it working. Sometimes it'll take minutes to stream one song and more often than not I've saved the entire album and swapped over to the normal apple music app for it to work straight away. I'd love this app to be more usable, just needs some more time in the oven.

App appears to be broken again. It will not play music, hanging on "loading..." after I hit play. I've even tried uninstalling and reinstalling after a reboot. This has worked in the past. I have even tried starting the track in Apple Music and then clicking the "play in Classical app" button. Nope, nothing works. It's good and broken

Exceptional streaming service, horrible Android app. I am stuck using it because no other streaming service comes close but the level of bugs and missing features is embarrassing. Most frequently it will lose your spot or display a track that's not playing. Major missing features: Offline downloads Android Auto Audio casting I realize the app is probably better on iPhone but the horrible Android app is inexcusable when I'm paying a monthly subscription.

Good, not very sturdy. There are some great explanations of classical music styles, almost like a podcast, but if you pause them (or any track) it starts over. I get that android is not Apple, but why not add a reliable pause feature? Sometimes the play button is unreliable.

Can not search my music in playlists. App starts to search music all over again, as if there is no playlist. Prefer to work in first Apple app. Classical app just a huge frustration. Furthermore - adding to a playlist is even more frustrating, because some playlists are not to be found under the already saved lists.

This would be a 5* app if only it were responsive... Without fail, I get stuck with an endless "loading" message when trying to play something. I'm lucky when it works as expected. It seems like I'm not the only one and it's been like this for AGES now. Come on now, I think we're entitled to some updates for this at this point. I often have to give up and go to YouTube. But I PAY for this

Pretty buggy. I've had it crash a handful of times, and it sometimes doesn't start to play a piece until after a few clicks. Despite that, it's still probably the best way to find and listen to classical music. How the app is designed is great; proper metadata means finding specific works or recordings is much easier. It's just the port to Android was clearly not given much care of attention

As of the latest update I can still add multiple tracks to the same playlist without a warning message. Removing 1 doubled track deletes all occurrences. Songs take a long time to buffer. If I pause a track and play it again 10 mins later, it rebuffers and starts from the beginning. Browse screen is no longer swipeable which makes for a horrible user experience each time the page refreshes. Favouriting a composer also favourites the current track that is playing, vice versa.

I downloaded this app less than hour ago, and from my limited experience with this app, I simply cannot stand it. Searching for music faves was like trying to do the butterfly stroke within a swimming pool filled with quick drying cement. What I did manage to find was of such poor sound quality that it doesn't justify paying £10.99 pm. Uninstalling!!!

Don't know what they did, but it works WAY better than it used to. It once broke completely on me, but clearing all app data and starting over seemed to fix it. Still clunky and less responsive than the mainline Apple Music app, but it's getting better.

There seems to be a recurring issue with the APPLE CLASSICAL MUSIC app. I thought it was going to be solved in an update, but so far it hasn't been fixed. Every time I try to browse my music in the artist section I cannot see all my artists. I can only see my Favorited/Starred artists. Every other section (songs, albums, composers) allows me to see the full library (both favorite and non-favorite). Why is this happening?

January 23, 2024: I can finally play music in here again. Keeping the review to 3 stars because I'm still mistrustful. January 2, 2024: This app USED to work most of the time but starting around December 2023, I can't search for anything and even if I manage to find an album, it refuses to play. Even after changing phones, I can't play any music. Apple, come on. Fix this mess.

Infuriatingly, although it is easy to Chromecast from Apple Music (Android) it is impossible to do so direct from Apple Music Classical. The workaround is to add the wanted track(s) or album(s) to your library, then open Apple Music - the library is shared - and play from there. What a kludge! Moreover, it is in fact easy enough to find and play classical albums and tracks from the main Apple Music app, so that the Classical variant is pretty much redundant

Right up my alley, but difficult to navigate and very buggy. Super concept, just needs work. I love that this finally exists. It's not easy to filter through classical on standard Apple Music, so I've really been enjoying this, although sometimes the navigation is very opposite what I would expect. Not super user friendly. But the sound quality is great, as is the library. That being said, it currently won't play music on my phone, at all. Rats!

Wow, I really WANT to love this app but it is so terrible. No Chromecast or Android Auto support. Very buggy - tracks will take ages to load and then will stop playing suddenly (if I go to the same album in apple music the play just fine) and for the last several weeks the play button literally doesn't work. Can't play a single album or track. The interface is great but completely worthless when you can't event play a track. Please do better Apple because this app could be so great!

Doesn't play any classical music at all. It needs Apple Music, another app, not free of course, in order to play anything at all. I don't want the other app, I want this one to be functional. I just want to dive into classical music, nothing else. This fails at such a basic level, it doesn't even deserve one star, and since it's deceptive, I want to request negative stars for this marketing tool.

Update: After a number of cycles of delete cache, app data, app, reinstall the app works again App stopped working as of Dec 2023 Android 14 update, Pixel 8 Pro. Tracks do not play when you press Play, accessing library results in a "Something went wrong" message. Apple Music does work and will play tracks that won't play in Classical. I very much miss Primephonics which was a great app for exploring the classical repertoire (and had deeper catalog of classical recordings than Apple Music has).

Stopped working; search and playback no longer work and no error code is provided. I suspect it has something to do with backend changes Apple hastily made in their ongoing fight with Beeper. I am a paying subscriber and I lost about a month of service so far. Fix it.

App has become unusable. Started fine. Now"stuck" on one piece, though it won't play it. Can't play anything else either. Have uninstalled and reinstalled four times. Turned phone off and on four times. Sorry to say the software application is in very bad shape.

I absolutely love the idea of having a separate app for classical music. The playlists that are consistently updated are a nice touch. I do wish that it was less buggy though. I do understand that it was made for Apple phones and I have a Samsung but I expected at least a little bit of effort on that transfer over. Sometimes the music won't even play. I wish I could rate this higher but until the app has atleast a little bit of functionality, I will be uninstalling.

Broken app as of last update. Searching or clicking on any category of your library results in "Something went wrong" error. It's unusable now. Uninstalled and reinstalled with same issue. Also, when it did work, unlike Apple music you can't add music to queue or use Chromecast, making it better for searching classical music but not in actually playing it.

No ability to stream to another device such as chromecast except the main app does this. App isn't even available on Apple 4kTV which can utilise atmos, so no idea why it is not on there either. Also used to be a good feature where you could select all recent titles from labels such as DG, Sony etc, now cam only do this for titles that are 6 months old for some reason. Apple music is far superior in sound quality to Spotify its disappointing the app doesn't do the basics

As usual Apple over promises and under delivers. So much still missing compared to Primephonic that it took over and killed off more than two years ago. We were promised an improvement but this app is definitely not it. No shuffle option, essential for long playlists of stand alone songs for example. No genre based radio stations to introduce music we might like. No music notes etc etc. Lazy and insulting.

The app was functioning alright until lately, when no tracks could be played, and the search bar does not work - showing the "Something went wrong" error page. And it's not only on this device, but also on another device (Samsung S21 FE 5G). Disappointing! Update: The error is overcomed by disconnecting and reconnecting to Apple Music. The chat support helped, but only with the second guy.

One big drawback for me is the lack of any functionality to play a whole artist repertoire. You'd have to queue up Egypt album individually and you can't add it to the queue either you just have to go play the next album in the previous album's done. It also lacks "create station" functionality. So after your queue is done if you're not adding anything to it there's not really much that can be done for you you can't create a station based off of the artist. The app feels incomplete

Originally had 3 stars and downgrading to 1 because the app only gets worse. An utterly buggy mess. I can no longer ever play music even after multiple restarts and reinstallations. It simply refuses to play anything. I also can't search for music, it always just gives an error. Useless app that doesn't work on Android. Unfortunate, because I liked to use it to discover some good works.

Love the idea of an app that is truly suited for a classical music library. That has been missing for a long time. However, with some creativity, it could have been integrated with Apple music. That said, I don't entirely mind the fact that there are two apps for this reason. However, what I do miss, is an option to cast music. Why on earth does this app not support casting? This omission makes it unuseable for me -> rating from 4/5 to 1 star. Please add a casting option. Thank you.

Finally improved (about time) the app as before it was a very bad app. It is now Easy to use and find different recordings of the same music or artist. Hi-Res, Lossless and Dolby Atmos is now working. Credits and biographies have been added. Next please add all of the CD booklets information like Primephonic did. This app had has a massive update since it was launched so from a worst to very good app for all classic music lovers of all kinds. Thanks for the massive update.

This app missed the mark on one crucial point, unfortunately! I was VERY excited for the various added functionalities specific to classical music, BUT it is still linked to my main library. The lovely new features are all but inaccessible without adding songs to your library and that means that they are also added into your main library, which is very unfortunate.

I liked it while it worked, however recently it has become unusable. Whenever I press play, I get a message that I'm playing music on another device, which is not the case. Regular apple music still runs fine. So unless this bug somehow gets fixed the app is just wasting space.

No cast button. This is probably a deal-breaker for me when my free trial is up. Also, searching and pivoting and refining searches is very, very poor compared to the apps predecessor Primephonic. Catalog is generally okay, but seems quite weak -- again, compared to Primephonic.

It doesn't remembering where we've passed. When we pause it and open it after sometime, it's again playing from the beginning. Especially we are having long-timed tracks, it quite annoying to remember the paused duration and scrolling overself everytime. Instead we can use the "Apple music" itself, which contains everything as this has. The thing we miss is, it shows the complete list starting from the composer to every crew included in tracks.

Absolutely love this app and its concept. It allows for a much clearer navigation of classical genres. Although it might be a bit impractical, would love to see this sort of thing for other major genres too, or some sort of re-engineering of this applied to the normal apple music app.

Nice idea, but no Chromecast...? Er, how on earth can you put a streaming app out for Android devices without Chromecast? Seriously? It's therefore of no use whatsoever to me, who casts to a hifi system. Do please let us know when you've fixed the bleedin' obvious problem, because searching for classical music on the other streaming apps is a messed-up pain. This might be so much better.

Using Samsung's One 5.1, Android 13. Been on the app for almost a month. Not as great as Primephonic but hoping it gets there. Better than others. With Samsung's later phones/tablets you can CAST to speakers using the media output tab and choosing your group/speaker. Just make sure your using the casting option and not mirroring. For me, mirroring doesn't work as well as casting. Have been casting to my B&O speaker group since 1st day and casting gapless tracks flawlessly.

Bummer. The classical app doesn't work with my android phone. It can't be connected to Apple music which is working just fine. The button doesn't work. Appreciate the maiden attempt to get the app running on android. Please keep trying. In the meantime, I'll keep using Apple music for classical.

Playback is awful and it is very buggy with Bluetooth. - After pausing because I received a call, playback stops. Pressing play doesn't resume playing. The only solution is to kill the app. - Sound sometimes doesn't play from headphones only on the speaker phone. This can only be fixed by force killing the app. Because you have to kill the app, the app won't remember what you were listeing too and your position on the playlist.

I was a fan of Primephonic so I was excited to see this. Quickly became disappointed when I discovered that the only way to play music from here to a home speaker is through Bluetooth. If you're going to be on this platform, Apple, you need to include Chromecast. Also, there's no way to download music for offline playback. Primephonic provided CD booklets; this does not. And there's no dark mode. Plusses: Search engine and metadata are great; interface is nice.

Some classical albums on Apple Music are not available on Apple Classical. Scrolling through the list of albums in my library is a headache. The list has to stop to buffer each time I scroll down. Scrolling is much smoother in Apple Music. Some works are catalogued incorrectly. Some works are not catalogued at all. And there is no option in the app to report cataloguing errors. Some favourited artists show up under the artists list in my library...but some don't. App needs some work.

A poor replacement for Primephonic which was bought out and destroyed without replacing its functionality. No sleeve notes, no information about the recordings, the recording musicians or instruments, all of which belong with the album. The only real advance is that the music is no longer broken into 'tunes'. Still waiting for a decent classical music app.

Better for classical music than any other offering, still not great. Larger cycles comprised of many smaller works often aren't grouped correctly. 'Editor's Choice' isn't great, I would like it replaced by 'definitive recording,' (like composers playing their compositions - possibly not the best recording, but definitive nonetheless). Popularity rankings are wrong (ex: Yo-Yo Ma is ranked as 10th on the list of popular cellists). No dark mode. Soloists and conductors are still often hard to find.

Seems like a good start but missing features. Apple Music implements Chromecast (not perfectly as it is not seamless) but the classical app does not include Chromecast. I presume this app has been built in collaboration with ex-Primephonic developers and one feature I would like to see again is access to album booklets/notes.

A bit disappointing. I'm sticking with Idagio No booklets like primephonic had Search is lacking advanced filters (see how Idagio has done it) Works are not categorised correctly (the movement of the same work is split across different ones, so the first few movements are in one place and the others some where else) Media control doesn't have work name Randomly stops playback Spatial audio doesn't work Large albums max out at 300 tracks (yes classical music can have very large albums)

Good implementation. However, it needs a lot of fixes. It's certainly harder to develop for Android than for iOS, but you don't release an app that's just not ready yet. Moreover, the inability to download songs locally is inexplicable. I look forward for bug fixes, dark mode, offline playback etc.

This is great! Can verify it is essentially the same as the iOS version. I love it but, there is obvious room for improvement. 1. No Dark mode support. 2. No Android Auto support. 3. No Chromecast support. So use this app to discover what you want to listen to. Save the Album or Playlist and actually listen to it in Apple Music. Yes it's a bit cumbersome, but still really great for Classical music. And give Apple credit for creating two really good Android apps!

Excellent app for classical music lovers. I actually signed up for apple music purely to use this app. The algorithms are more geared towards classical music, there's some excellent curation, and the whole lossless+dolby atmos thing is a cherry on top! Minus 1 star for some bugs here and there, but I'm sure they'll iron them out in future updates.

The app is still a bit wonky (there's some lag and you can't swipe up the player), but good on you for taking Android seriously. It's a much better strategy to open up your services to other platforms, since many people don't want to be locked into one.

Thank you for this. It does help find and organize classical music better than the base apple music app. While there can be more improvements, the one that prevents this from getting 5 stars (For now) is lack of chromecast support. Please add casting to this app.

Missing dark mode and casting support. Gestures are different and/or missing from the main Apple Music app, and animations are choppy. I'm not sure if it's just a different team or something, but you'd think a lot of that would just be ported from the main app. Just my opinion, the serif typography choice is not super legible on mobile devices. You should be able to switch to the standard sans font. Great idea, just missing the attention to detail one would expect from Apple.

I decided to download to try it out and the first thing that greeted me was a message saying that I also need to get the Apple Music app (which just takes up 122MB on the phone) just so I can login. Granted most people would already have the app, so they wouldn't have that "issue". However, other than that the app works great! I can literally choose which instrument I want to listen to and everything seems smooth so far
