Used to be decent, but newest update killed it + ads now too frequent
Basically, before the update, the app would recommend you a list of songs based off of songs you already liked or frequently listened to, but now just shoves a bunch of run-of-the-mill normie c*ap in your face with playlists like "chill" "top 50"and "new wave"
If their algorithm was working properly, theyd see I have no such interest in these genres.
Also, advertisements have become far too frequent, sometimes even playing back to back. Before, they would come up maybe once every 10 or so songs, but now are obnoxiously annoying and dont even apply to my demographic at all. Especially bad are the ones plugging the abomination known as the "discover tab" which doesnt even seem to exist on ios. And plus, why would I want to "find new tracks" while Im IN THE MIDDLE OF LISTENING TO A PLAYLIST OF TRACKS I LIKE.
All in all, the only thing that would take this back up to a 4 star app would be if they reverted it back to its former state, although that will probably never happen.
