    I’d like to be able to access sheet music with all pieces including parts for individual instruments this app is amazing!

  • On Apple Watch, prefix item with composer

    By DREinSevernMDUSA
    I’d like to see the composer as prefix to the currently playing item OR expand the number of lines (I really don’t like that most of the valuable screen real-estate is taken up by album cover graphics - cute but unreadable on watch and I can see it in glorious detail on the phone if I really care.) In my opinion, scrolling is far less appealing than seeing the in formation using more lines on the screen. Six or seven lines might fit if the album artwork and some white space was eliminated. Thanks for listening to my opinion.

  • Awesome app, add a widget for my 5th star

    Needs a widget for home screen. Otherwise love this app, if you’re an Apple Music subscriber you should be using this.

  • Good, but needs some basics

    The app does a nice job of allowing the user to access classical music. The organization by piece, and the ability to search by piece is done nicely. A few things need to be added, though, which seem very basic: first, users should be able to search their library! (you can do this in regular Apple Music, so why can’t you do this in Apple classical music?) Second, the library currently lists albums in one’s library with a lazy load, so it is frustrating to try to scroll quickly. Third, liner note should be available for most recordings: classical music listeners want to read about the recordings and the pieces. These three features existed in the app which Apple purchased in order to make Apple classical music; why were these features removed?

  • Must have if Apple Music Subscriber

    So much better than Apple Music for finding classical music I might want to hear. I love that it allows me to easily see titles of pieces and tracks of music in my extensive playlists, which is very difficult to do in Apple Music. My only gripe about the app is that it doesn’t alphabetize playlist titles or place the most recent playlist that I have added to on top when I want to add music like Apple Music does.

  • The effort put into this is appreciated.

    Some people scoffed at the idea of a dedicated classical music app when there’s already classical music within Apple Music, but it’s genuinely so nice to have an organized app specifically designed to present and organize classical music. More broadly, I think a big difference between Spotify and Apple Music is the fact that it’s clear that Apple cares very much about music (hi res lossless audio support, Dolby Atmos support, higher pay for artists), and has since the days of the iPod, whereas Spotify feels and functions more as a general “sound” app, where there is noticeably less care involved. This app is another example of the care that Apple displays with its products, including more specifically when it comes to music.

    Endless attempts to find selections and albums, for one’s personal enjoyment is an exercise in finding grains of sand on the beach. On Apple Music numerous complaints persist without efforts to remedy it frustrating enough to cancel the subscription.

  • Needs a Vision Pro app

    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!

  • Playlist bug

    By reallywittyname
    There is a bug that is preventing me from being able to play any songs I’ve added to a playlist of my own. If I navigate to the song any other way, I can play it. But if I click on it through my playlist, nothing at all happens. This makes it extremely frustrating to try to save music I like and easily find and play it later, to the point that I would choose not to subscribe anymore until this is fixed.
