I am astounded at just how much worse Apple made its Apple Music app in iOS 10 versus iOS 9. Let me count the ways:
Additional note to Apple: STOP automatically downloading iOS 10 to my iPhone 6 Plus. I don't want that POS software. It's my phone, and you have no right to force me to upgrade. STOP IT NOW.
- Radio: Click "play less like this," and nothing happens. You have to advance past the undesired song manually. Bug!
- Radio: Start a station based upon a currently playing song, and the song starts over! Bug. Previous version in iOS 9 did it right. Just keep playing the song, idiots. Don't ruin the mood. Programmers responsible for this: come into my room. You're all fired. Go apply for a job at Quicken, where crappy software rules the day.
- Color: Yuck! The all-white interface sucks. You lose the color ambience previously created in the iOS 9 Apple Music by the album art.
- For You: Sometimes you scroll right, sometimes down. WTF??!? Apple, you think this nonsense is cute, right? Dumb!
- Fonts: I'm all for bigger, readable fonts, but aren't these a bit excessive?
- Radio: Why not let us store a long list of our favorite user-created radio stations rather than give us a piddly list of "recently played" stations? You won't supplant Pandora this way, not by a long shot.
- Browse: There's the dumb right-left/up-down confusion of an interface again, along with not much to browse, actually. Totally worse than Apple Music in iOS 9.
- Song selection in Radio: You really need to buy Pandora while it's for sale. Your song selection algorithm sucks. Sometimes my mouth hangs open when stuff like this happens: You're listening to a quiet, peaceful, cello-infused "David Darling" radio station, and a Kenny Loggins hard-rock song punches you upside the head next, with bass drum pounding and fuzz guitars turned up to 11. Huh?!? Add to this the bugginess with "play less" mentioned previously, and you've got a Radio component that qualifies for the bottom-of-the-barrel award.
