Apple Music App for Android Smartphones Now Available for Download
It may seem impossible years ago, but Apple Music has finally reached Android and it is indeed special.
Google Play featured the Apple Music on their play store, where fans using the Android software can now freely download the app. The Apple Music for Android also features a three-month free trial with over 30 million songs to choose from on the Apple Music library. You can also opt to listen to recommended music based on what you normally listen to. Take note that you can also listen to radio stations or if you wish to choose your own music, you can search for them directly from the music app.
While Apple Music mainly gives Android users a taste of Apple's creative services. EndGadget says that the current Apple Music for Android is currently in its beta version. The app is a rip-off of its current iOS version. The Android platform significantly carried what the Apple Music has from its original platform, and those who have been using it may not have a problem navigating the Android version.
After installing Apple Music, you will either be prompted to register for the free trial or use your current subscription to start the app. If you decide not to sign in, you can still listen to the ad-supported music from the app.
However, the Android version of Apple Music is expected to be simpler and less-cluttered. It also has the same set-up and navigation from its iOS version. Ars Technica said that after the three-month trial, you can subscribe to the app for $9.99 per month on the single-user plan. If you choose for the family plan, you may need to register or sign up through the OS X or an iOS device, which dictates the real home of Apple Music.
Despite saying that the Android version will likely be the same as that of the Apple Music for iOS, the one thing that differentiates the two is the user's inability to use Siri on Android. Switching tabs is also noticeably relocated from its original place at the bottom part of the screen to the sidebar, which is Android's flagship feature.
Initially, there are some issues on account creation, with several coded messages that basically says it wasn't successful. Other than that is the obvious disappearance of the icon that lets you pick your favorite music within the app.
