Forbes Writer Thinks that Apple Music is a 'Sprawling Mess'
Product Critique
It's definitely Dump on Apple Music Week. Yesterday CNET Writer Sarah Mitroff posted a report as to why she ditched Apple Music for Spotify and today it's Forbes writer Ewan Spence stepping into the ring to take a few swipes at Apple Music. Spence clearly thinks that "Apple Music has failed." Spence adds that "There is no app in the world that is perfect, but the new iOS Music app is a sprawling mess, it can easily hang on opening if it can't find a solid internet connection, and it makes it harder to search and locate your own music on a handset. Album and Artist lists are compressed into a single drop down box, while Apple's attempt at a global radio station is given a tab all on its own. Prioritising Zane Lowe's vanity project over easy access to my own music collection is a courageous call for Apple to make. In the end, Spence says that "When the competition is doing it faster, better, stronger, with more fidelity, openness, and accountability, it's very hard to justify the monthly subscription to Apple Music."
