## Apple Music Classical Reviews in United States

### ****- "Mostly Great"
Nice, purpose-built app for classical music. I love how the browse section is divided into categories for composers, periods, etc. Additionally, I appreciate the aggregated list of works for each composer, the editor’s picks, etc. The multitude of playlists for seemingly everything are also wonderful.

My biggest complaint is the lack of a shuffle option for playlists. It would be great if that can be added in a future update.
-- Obstreperousness, 2024-12-31

### ***** "Amazing"
The best and only way to listen to classical music
-- Noah0225, 2024-12-28

### *---- "Apple Hates Classical Music Fans"
This application represents pure contempt for fans of classical music. After abusing its market power several years ago to acquire Primephonic, a wonderful classical music service that worked with an array of hifi streaming technologies, Apple killed the service and deprived the classical music world of a decent streaming option. After offering no application for over 18 months, Apple released this incredibly weak replacement. Where are complete liner notes, Apple? Why is your search capability more limited than Primephonic’s was? Where are downloads? Why can’t I create an ad-hoc queue without creating a playlist? Why did it take a year and a half to see an iPad app? Why buy a service you don’t care about and won’t invest in? This is a disgusting insult. Shame on you, Apple.
-- Nick___M, 2024-12-22

### *---- "Horrendous AI portraits"
This is generally a great app but it is marred by the awful and increasingly use of AI portraits of composers of the past. Please stop it!!!
-- InjuriousGraffito, 2024-12-22

### ***** "Opened my eyes"
I’ve listened to classical music occasionally while studying in college but never to the depth that this app is pulling me in. I love the booklets attached to each performance that provides depth to the music as you read along and listen. I’m now starting to understand why people who are into classical are so passionate about it. 10/10
-- retro palmtree, 2024-12-19

### *---- "Needs a Shuffle Feature"
Its 2024. Do I as the consumer really have to tell you to add a shuffle feature for music? I don’t care about your  “Apple terminology” of belief. Give me the full music experience
-- Your_Average_Human, 2024-12-18

### **--- "Keeps acting up"
The app keeps pausing and skipping music for no reason, or not working altogether today!
-- Mjbmaster, 2024-12-17

### ***-- "Download please"
I appreciate the ability to browse by performer, composer, genre, etc. CarPlay support is great too! But please allow downloads in this app in addition to the Apple music app.
-- Pennsylvania Painter, 2024-12-15

### **--- "Buggy"
Brand new iPhone 16

The app freezes frequently. Wish it was more stable.
-- FoCoB, 2024-12-14

### **--- "Why?"
This app is a great idea in my opinion, but I found a big bug. 

:( For me, this app won’t play anything unless regular Apple Music is installed on the device… so why do we need two separate apps? I get that most people would already have regular Apple Music already, but some of us might have deleted it and gotten something else like Spotify or Pandora. Or we just didn’t want any Apple Music at all. But seriously, there’s almost no reason to have to separate apps if you have to have Apple Music installed, which you can find everything on there already.
-- sgdhrfv, 2024-12-12

### ***-- "It’s just western."
I love western music, and this app is truly a blast to use finding and discovering works plus cataloguing them for easier listening. The standard Apple Music app doesn’t do many favors for classical music, whereas this app allows you to find specific recordings of specific pieces by specific performers. It’s really a godsend by that regard

Unfortunately, there is a whole entire rest of the planet that is extremely underrepresented in the search features. It is trivial to find any work by any western composer, from Glass to Mozart to whoever else. 

But there are no tabs for non-western music to be found at all. No playlists, no editor’s choices, nothing. Like, there’s a whole world out there. Who is this for? Old washed up music teachers that refuse to acknowledge the world beyond Europe?

A lot of people, of all ages, nationalities, backgrounds, upbringings, and cultures, listen to “classical” music. To leave out the entirety of the rest of the world is a crime.
-- Sgt. Pepper12, 2024-12-11

### **--- "Terrible UI"
Can’t search for albums in my library?? Queuing is impossible. Nearly unusable as an app.
-- Missie's dad, 2024-12-09

### *---- "Subscription only 👎"
No way to just buy a song
-- CS5059, 2024-12-03

### ***-- "Shuffle Option"
I see how this app makes sense, but please, for all that is holy, give us a shuffle button option like we have in the Apple Music App. When I want to list to an Apple Classical playlist I don’t always want to hear it in the same order. Thanks
-- Auntpickle30, 2024-11-21

### ****- "I want this to be a separate, cheaper subscription"
I use the Classical app a lot but don’t want to pay for the whole Apple Music subscription, since I don’t use that much. Why not creat a classical-only subscription at a lower price?
-- Lancienneamie, 2024-11-21

### ***-- "Good App"
Great!! But only think I can’t understand is why some recordings have digital booklets and others don’t. Not to mention the app is very glitchy.
-- AlecS2468, 2024-11-16

### **--- "Incredibly Buggy App"
It sure doesn’t seem like Apple spends much time on this app. It has always been filled with so many bugs, to the point that it can be unusable at times. Surprised Apple let a product this low quality out into the market.
-- spenc1466, 2024-11-14

### ****- "Love the digital booklets! Really hoping Apple Classical & Apple Music deploys more digital assets"
I just updated your app and noticed a new icon towards the top when I was certain albums. When I tapped on the icon, it brought up what I am assuming are the album booklets. I am so thrilled to see this! I really, really hope this feature comes to Apple Music! Artists like Bjork used to have such wonderful album booklets that drew me to the album b/c the art used to also set the stage for music landscape. I really want to urge Apple to deploy more digital assets like this immerse listeners/customers into artists’ worlds they create. Thank you!
-- OKBoomer00, 2024-11-14

### *---- "Missing BASIC functionality"
There are things missing that every player on the planet contains such as shuffle and better search features. The response time lags on the app, and connections with external speakers is sub par at best. One star because this is the year 2024, not 1999. Apple are losing my faith in being able to produce reviewed, tested products that appear to have at least been vetted by employees first. At least it is “sort of” free if you fess up over $4.99 currently. How completely broken is Apple Music backend database that classical music requires a supplemental app completely?  Seems like this could just be another category in Apple Music TBH. The behind-the-scenes of music must be atrocious.
-- Topper1995, 2024-11-13

### ***** "App Keeps Improving"
The app keeps getting better and better with time. The CarPlay addition is awesome. I’m still waiting for the AppleTV version to appear loaded with great video performances on top of the great audio performances; perhaps some live performances too? Well, I can only wish. 🤔
