Apple Music Classical was in the works for years, allegedly. I fail to understand how this app could take so long to develop; it is a skin of Apple Music with slight improvements in searching, and some nicer art instead of corporate pop and rap stars plastered everywhere.
All of the music I've searched for in AMC is as easily accessible in AM, and all music added in AMC is added to AM, begging the question as to why this app exists separately. You can't use AMC independent of AM either, try uninstalling AM and AMC won't work. I had assumed the point of separate app is to aid in sandboxing libraries, or at least grant the option. I don't want to hear classical when I shuffle my AM library generally.
I assumed the lack of iPad and Mac support would be rectified quickly, but i's already been slightly over five months. It's not like AM dev team is indie. Why can't you run the iOS app on M1 systems anyway?
Then other silly things, no shuffle, curated playlists aren't alphabetized (or have sort option), and no ability to filter vocal pieces out. No one cares about concert band instruments so orchestra and vocal are heavily emphasized.
All in all, I was excited for this app and after trying to get regular use since release, it has been a disappointment. I have stopped using it for now, anyone else feeling similar? If you feel the opposite, what's keeping you on AMC?
