    Really they want to know how to make the app better? How about you start making a good app for iOS? I don't see the play widget when I cast to a device from my iPhone and that's one bug off the top of my head tbh.

    It is a fantastic service otherwise IMO when it comes to having a catalogue. Best in the industry by far. Videos also play by default sometimes which is not useful.

      Play Music -> YouTube Music

        i took the free month and had the opportunity to compare it with spotify premium and deezer hifi, and yt music is just not there yet. i mean, definitely the music library is maddeningly huge compared to either spotify or deezer (and i think even with both combined) as it includes music videos (official or unofficial), but the UI is simply years behind. apart from that, audio quality is....... rather lacking with the highest at 256kbps that it shares with apple music, while spotify's "high quality" is at 320kbps and deezer hifi's lossless quality is at 1,411kbps. i paid subscription for 4 more months because i built a playlist of songs/tracks that were not available in both spotify and deezer, but i figured it's not worth it.

          boring player and hard to navigate around ... I want to play my songs/music in my phone NOT stream from youtube, dislike streaming as it eats up your data quota, which is why I do sub or buy any streaming services.
          I rather have it forever in my phone/PC be it legally or illegally.

            Youtube Music for PC and Sonos SUCKS. You cannot get your youtube music to play through your google home voice commands to the sonos like with GPM. Also You cannot alphabetize ANYTHING in the PC version or in the sonos app. This is just stupid irresponsible on YTM's part. They better fix both things really quickly or it's bye bye. HOW THE HELL CAN YOU CREATE A PROGRAM THAT DOES NOT LET YOU A to Z playlists, albums, artist, etc. PLUS it takes over 8 minutes to load up my entire library. Who are the idiots running Youtube Music?????

              Ok, my reason I erased YT Music because of the difference of the sound quality and also the volume between every single song. Everyone is able to upload whatever they think, the source is questionable even though if it is in 192 kbps. No thanks.

                download numbers can be as high, which doesnt matters
                what matters is how many people uses it ?

                i myself had downloaded this app and uninstalled on the same day because i found that boring.

                i would rather use proplayer or musicolet.

                  YT Music has a lot of ads if you don't pay for premium.

                  I wonder if anyone knows a reliable music streaming app (not Deezer or Spotify) for Android and iOS (I own either platform, but iOS is priority), pls suggest.

                  The plus side is that playing a music in Youtube also plays video.

                                    And they achieved it the same way Nintendo got Wii sports to be the best selling game of all time :D

                                      « After all, every music video or a track found on YouTube can be played on YouTube Music. »

                                      That's not the case. Some music live for example aren't playable on YouTube Music, it's not selectionnable. Quite a problem with Sonos for example, where it would works with Play Music ...

                                        Of course, when it gets downloaded as bloatware. Find the real number of the actual downloads. Not through updates on the brand new phone.
