★★★★ Caroline Bohlen 6/26/2026 v9.24.51
Doesn't work half of the time.
★★★★ Max Lombard 6/26/2026 v9.24.51
Currently, I am unable to search for any songs. I go to the search bar and try to use it, but it always says no results, no matter what I search. The only way for me to search and play a song is if it's already in my library. I have tried all the things I possibly can, restarted my phone, clear app cache, checked for updates and even deleted and reinstalled
★★★★ Le Sot 6/26/2026 v9.24.51
6/26/26 EDIT: 1 year later & experiencing more issues with the app. Now the search bar no longer finds artists or songs. 6/10/25 Music will not play until you press the tab for the song multiple times.
★★★★ Zhan Zhi Cheong 6/26/2026 v9.24.51
The app loads and plays ads well and proper but can't play songs.. something is very wrong with it nowadays

Search text queries returning 'no results and try another keyword' on Premium account. Also the help section mentions 'something went wrong please try again.'

ما الفرق بينه وبين يوتيوب
★★★★ RiZ3L 6/26/2026 v6.42.52
Shows no search results when searched
★★★★ Tyler Phillips 6/26/2026 v9.24.51
since the update the app hasn't been working right. searches come up blank even when looking up known artists and songs.
★★★★ Harshit Awasthi 6/26/2026 v9.25.50
it shows 2 ads after every single song on same topic again and again. If my hands are busy, I'll have to watch those extra long advertisements. It also consumes a lot of data in doing so. Yt music recommendation/discover absolutely suck and it's suggested playlists are nothing but my liked songs. When Playlist put on shuffle, I see pretty much same songs everytime and some songs never ever get played in shuffle.
★★★★ Zebedee Encarnacion 6/26/2026
Not interested (it wont let the music Play when i exit)
★★★★★ Diego Becerra Becerra 6/27/2026 v9.24.51
Youtube, your app does not function properly. When organizing a playlist by artist in alphabetical order, your app cannot get that task done. Everything is out of order, it glitches and duplicates songs as well as albums on playlists. You do not have a scroll bar to go through music quickly so it takes forever to find a song in the playlist without the search feature. Please fix this. I switched from Spotify to YouTube year. A company this big should have better resources than this...
★★★★★ Nicholas Novak 6/26/2026 v9.25.50
restarts songs from the start if I'm paused for more than 5 minutes
★★★★★ Ensar 6/26/2026 v9.24.51
1 yildir aktif kullanıyorum. Spotify'dan geçtim. şu arayüzü daha smooth ve birbirinden ayrılabilir yapsanız keşke. karman çorman gelmesinin sebebi bu, kime sorsam aynı seyi soyluyor, sanki her şey iç içe ve demosu çikmiş yeni uygulama gibi hep. iyilestirmeler cok yavas geliyor. (26.06.2026) yni guncelledim, guzel olmus yeni arayuz allah razi olsn
★★★★★ Dasun Bandara 6/26/2026 v9.16.51
The offline experience absolutely sucks. Even though having paid for it, the offline mode and downloads suck. You need a connection for almost all of the time to play downloaded songs. Hope u guys fix this
★★★★★ Matthew Puckett 6/26/2026 v8.24.53
the last update got rid of a few features I liked. the full screen mode for videos and the related music link when listening to a song. why ? why continuously increase the money to paid each month and then lessen the features? Boo! Boooo! I've started a petition and have over 10,000 signatures to bring these features back or else next month there will be a mass exodose and we WILL. DELETE! DELETE! DELETE!
