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.

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.

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.
