Microsoft Groove App Reviews

It used to be better

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 keeps crashing everytime I skip a song and as soon as one song is done it will stop and not continue the playlist.

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!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for fixing the bug that causes the app to crash after one song! But now Im having an issue where if Ive paused a playlist, my music will start playing as soon as I unlock my phone... so now I have to remember to close the app after each use.

The content is decent, especially for the (often discounted) price. The app is pathetic though. 1) Random… isn’t. I have one playlist with about 500 songs, and it will always pick one of about 5 songs to start with. It appears to use only what’s on the *screen* as its source. This is a junior programming effort. I’m sure you could fix it in 10 minutes. Cmon guys. 2) it crashes very often. Like, every second time I launch it. 3) No fast forwarding or rewinding, even on downloaded music. I’m sure there’s more problems with it… but if they fixed **ONLY #1** I would be happy. Update: new name, same problems. Pathetic.

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.

It is way too slow to load any song.

every time I try to sign in it says "try again"... ahhh Microsoft, youre possibly worse than the mighty Apple

Ever since the upgrade to Groove it stopped working on my iPhone. I can launch the App and search for songs but when I select anything to play nothing happens. Keep getting a download error. No point in keeping the App since they want a monthly fee.

The streaming works fine but I cant download any songs to listen to on the road

Has some problem but for the most part I enjoy it.

This app was a small business before MS bought it. It was a great app that read the music from your phone and turned it into an amazing "genius list". I dont know what this app is, but I cant figure out how to play my music. If I spend more than 2 minutes looking for something that basic... Its done

So I uploaded all my music to Skydrive...when I tried to play some songs from the app it just takes a million years to load. It feels like I just wasted a lot of time trying to get this to work. Pretty disappointed...looks like Ill have to use iTunes Match instead.

Its great when it works but its extremely disappointing paying as much as I do for this app for it to either take forever to load, not load at all, or load for a couple seconds then stop.. Dont recommend.

Why cant we forward a song?!? Also it would be great to be able to share playlists with friends. Also, making radio station with more than one artist, like Pandora. I think that this service is still a work in progress but at the same price as the competitors. Only good thing is that it work on Xbox, but cant be controlled with the groove app either from iPhone or windows, need to open SmartGlass to do that, but smart glass dont let you pickup the songs...

Yeah! That new feature you guys added, where you cant listen to music with your phone locked or having another app op is great!!... NOT. Wtf were you guys thinking. Fix it or else youre going to lose many paying customers, including me.

Not great on iOS, frequently crashes. Lacking features, why cant you add the feature to fast forward through a track, or better yet I slider so I can manually do it. Bug-App will start playing music after a minute if a phone call is answered while music was playing. Bug-after answering a call sometimes the music resumes where it left off, other times the song will start from the beginning. Losing patience.
