Hate the new update, I'd get more offline time by downloading it when online, then when I'm back offline, can't listen to music at all cause apparently I need to recharge my offline time, even when I never used it after I recharge it. sucks, liked it better before the major update.
used to be a good app now you have to upgrade to skip and pick songs and you have to refresh your online listening time every day. the app was perfect now it sucks.
Temu is a pain it runs me round and round. I will NOT order from them just because of it.
was good until they start adding to need "premium" for everything
makes you pay for everything even to just pick music or make multiple playlists. if you listen for too long you have to pay for premium to listen longer or wait another day.
When I log in with my discord, it creates a new account instead of linking my account created with my email even though my discord has the exact same email listed. lame. And when I login on the app using the email there is no option to link that account with the discord. Making sure my discord bot is useless. Because I am not starting over with a whole new account just to use the bot when I've built an account on the treble app long before I knew there was a bot on discord. lame.
It's forcing me to buy premium to continue to listen to my songs when I do not want to buy premium
There was a time when I gave this app 5 stars. Now they're pushing people towards a subscription with an increasing price, restricting features, and increasing the number of ads. And to top it all off, there's now a bug that prevents music from playing at all unless I'm offline. This went from being easily the best music app to one that can't even compete with most of the others.
This app has fallen down so far. I have been using this app for more than 3 years and now its the worst. Why is it scrabbling my music at this point its the same as all the other apps. I would rather have more adds when im online then to take away my ability to pick the music I want. I would rather use a different app. All the traits that made this app so good for me were ruined.
this app used to be soo good but then they copped out to big company's TOO MANY ADDS
scam
Now you're forcing us to pay for the premium play? what's up treble? it used to be easy to listen to music without these time limits, these "you've played 50 songs today." are you that money hungry? now the treble ain't working and it quotes "I have to listen to my shuffle?" and even if I do, I can't click on a new song, or skip to a new song. it's like it's stuck? not all people have that kind of money to keep bouncing from apps that wants money to listen to music? MUSIC?!.
They are not worth the monthly price.....Main reason is because many songs are not available yet. Now they are taking different steps to force payments...by adding more and more ads that sometimes don't play....then they started limiting daily plays of songs you already had downloaded for a while now....then I started getting glitches.....now I can't play any songs I want from my list....because it's now forcing me to play in shuffle mode. I can't choose a certain song now. HARASSMENT. Goodbye
terrible!
Was nice until you put ads after ads and can't play my music like before. Thanks for now messing up my day. Until you guys fix the problem it's going to be 1 star. Now in year 2026 you lock me out of playing what I want? you keep me in the shuffle unless I pay for the premium. Are you kidding me? That trash
ok so i love the app but now i cant pick what songs i want to listen to what so ever and it dosnt let me do any of the features that i could use before but now it dosnt
don't use this app when you press on one of your songs It doesn't play it and plays a random song that you didn't press and they have way too much ads
My phone keeps telling me that this app is draining my battery. I assume it's aggressive data collection. uninstalled
One star because of the song limit. I absolutely HATE that playing the same song counts as part of my daily limit. that's absolutely ridiculous. The amount of songs u can play in general (which is 45) is so stupid. really, up your game Treble. nobody is gonna waste money on premium for such a dumb reason. Thank you.
no one's gonna use it if you have to pay to skip a song
bro since when was skipping songs and choosing what song you wanna play a premium feature you lost me treble getting greedy after all this time, how dare you and now theres a time limit for offline usage are we so serious might as well just make it a premium feature all together like spotify yall are really out your mind. I've been using the app for 3 years and loved it up until now.
they got greedy. used to be great. now it's a bunch of ads and all the features suck now. as greedy as Spotify now.
horrible. can't skip anymore either mine bugged or they locked this feature behind a pay wall. only get 60 songs per day, horrible. the offline adds won't load, have to restart app a lot which is hard while driving. Will be hoving on. btw have 240k points on the app. been listening for years now
im rating this one star, i had given the creators the benifit of the doubt and gave it 3 stars because it said what it said it did, however each updates makes the app worse and worse. originally it had tooken away some songs if you hadnt been online, now you have offline time that drains when you arent using the app. and once you run out you cant listen to any music. this app is horrible i reccomend soundcloud
used to be great but then they started doing limited songs a day and adds that refuse to load
it was good until the daily limit BS. idc about the ads you should be able to listen to it as long there's ads I'm fine with that I have a very select few songs I listen to on repeat. I'm not playing $10 for this lmao 😂 I'll just use youtube for the time being. was 5 stars now I rate 1/2 star.
trebel really just takes your privileges away, I used to have full control of my music, and now I have to pray that I get the song I want to put on, this is how they'll lose more people then gain
loved it when I first got it. Hated it more and more as time goes on. Watch ads for points, understandable! Recommend songs unavailable, cool! Watch ads about the app that your using 90% of the time, why? Forces you to watch adds even when you have 150,000+ points, why? Make it to where you can constantly watch adds so you can listen to music uninterrupted without the premium that is nearly forced on you every time you go to click something, why have they not made that a thing? Simple
it used to be a good app but it just sucks now there's daily limits I can't even skip songs anymore and it won't let me pick the song I press on it plays another
It's not the same app but you have to buy a premium package for the Trebel App but it originally says it's free
free version starting to get more limited looks like they are trying to copy the Spotify model, now my songs only play in shuffle mode,I can't control my playlist. the points you earn from ads no longer have a function or purpose... quickly going downhill
Used to love the app. The new update is terrible. I used this app to listen to music offline while at work now there's a limit unless you pay and I can't even skip, repeat, or select a song I want. Might be time to look for a new app.
This used to be the best free music app around. Not so much now since they have started charging people. There is also a certain number of songs one can listen to in a day. No longer a favorite to me.
