Pros and cons of Microsoft Groove app for iPhone and iPad
Microsoft Groove app good for
This app just went from a bad radio only app to the perfect streaming app for Windows users. Store all your mp3s on OneDrive, play from this app. Simple, straight forward. No messing around with iTunes or some other program required.
Great app, amazing library, can find almost everything I want!!! Wish it was enhanced for tablet... Update Jul2015 still not enhanced for iPad, tablet?
Finally a fix that actually fixed the bugs. Thanks !! So others with crashing while listening offline. The last update fixed it!
It is impossible to skip through parts of a song, and when i want to show my friend a good part of a song, I cant. I need to listen to the hole entire song.
PLEASE FIX THIS!!!!!!!!!!!
The best music experience Ive had in a while. An it only seems to get better.
With the update to Groove Music, you can now download albums and songs, and that is awesome.
Wish there was a thumbs up option, however.
Some bad moments
Not optimized for iPhone 6 Plus everything is blown up to fit the screen which makes the keyboard difficult to use and the entire application looks ridiculous because of it. There is also a surprising lack of features and settings. Maybe an option for high/low quality on cellular?
Microsoft really let us down with this one... From other reviews I get the impression that the app is really hard to use but since it wont even allow me to sign in to my account I cant review that for myself. Also I have tried it on many different devices on different internet accesses with the same result. They really need to fix something in order to make user happy.
I really wanted to love this app, but there are to many problems with it.
1) on the phone companion app on Windows 10, it gives you the option for iPad or iPhone app. It gives you the iPhone app only, so why even give the option? It is annoying to use an oversized iPhone keyboard on an iPad.
2) Shuffle does not work well. In a 254 song playlist, the app commonly picked the first 50 songs (about 3 albums) in random order. You also find a lot of the same album clumped together.
Ive had a pass subscription for years and after getting an iPhone from a dying Lumia icon, it makes the windows version look real good. This has a lack of finish on it. Cant scrobble songs and doesnt integrate well with the phone. Apple music seems to always take over.
This drastically needs improved upon! Cmon Microsoft...Youre updating all your other apps. How about Groove?
First off coming from groove on windows mobile the ios app is terrible. You cant scrub through a song? Please fix that. I think if you scrap this and make it like windows 10 mobile you will have a stellar app. Maybe use spotifys app as a base for what users want
What is there no way to fast forward songs? Also it would be nice to have a button that makes all song available offline
