Gave it a shot. I’m sure it’s competitive with the alternatives on iOS. But, I found it pretty disappointing and even embarrassing. IMO, too much of the shallowness of the streaming approach to music apps (which I found insultingly dumb TBH) has leaked into this app. Generally, the ability to explore is limited with little assistance from the app. And the ability to navigate your own library is similarly shallow. Bottom line for me is that classical music catalogues are rich in data, so a good app needs to be a good data navigation and management tool. This, to me, was lost in the designers. EG. Filtering by genre is hidden as a second class citizenn in the top right. The result is a flat list of works without any option to list, filter again or aggregate by composer or performer or year. When navigating your library, the moment you get to the level of a single work, you get the general view of that work listing popular recordings etc. If you’ve added any particular recordings to your library these will be ignored or forgotten. When exploring by genre, a list of popular composers is placed at the top. Click one and it takes you not to a list of works by that composer in the preselected genre, but the general view of the composer. Overall, it’s 2023, Napster is old enough to have a job and kids now, and a big tech company has the gall to release a crappy music interface without any reasonable interface to exploring the data they clearly have on the backend. For classical music!? Enshitification embodied. Though there is scope for it to become a nice app. Unlikely though. Edit: read the linked article. Incredibly shallow and clearly not by someone who likes classical music or cares about having a good app. I guess we get the apps we deserve huh.
