It's such a good idea to set up a classical app as it's a whole different ball game to rock and pop. But instead of understanding this, they set it up in a very similar way, for instance, recent releases, or new album. The app developers seem to be lacking any creative imagination. Artist essentials may work in other genres, but who really wants to hear one movement from a piece like Beethovens Ninth Symphony. also, unfortunately, the classical app merges with the rock version. Favs are shared.

Would be really nice if they put any effort at all in getting it functional. I check back every few months to see if it gets improved. It doesn't, it's had the same issues for years.

App is now fully broken. "There was an error, please try again later" appears and music cannot be played. However Apple Music still works. This app is a façade to attract classical fans but they don't care about it.
