Apple Music now available on Android, free for three months
After a few months after its debut on iOS, PC and Mac, Apple Music is preparing to debut on Android. This is the first app which owns Apple important to land on the green robot.
After four months of its release to the public, the music service Apple Music is finally available on Android. This is the first complex application developed by Apple that reaches the users of the platform competitor, although at the moment it is downloaded only in beta. But it is the first application ever, with Skip to iOS that has recently been literally massacred by Android users.
The reviews on the new Apple Music app for the platform of Google are more lukewarm. Do not miss the extremely negative votes, but in this case are balanced with those of ” 5 stars “. Moreover, despite the beta tag, Apple Music on Android is very similar to the version of iOS. New users can sign up for a free subscription for three months, at the end of which you will have to pay $9.99 per month, like many competitors.
But there are some deficiencies, although venial. Apple Music has no support video playback on Android, or the user has the option to subscribe to a family plan. TechCrunch managed to snatch an interview with Eddy Cue before the launch of the application, and the manager has maliciously claimed that Apple Music is a ” Trojan horse ” that aims to convince Android users to switch to iPhone and Apple.
It is a new script certainly not in that of Cupertino, a script that we had already seen on Windows with iTunes. Behind the rhetoric about ” artists who deserve to have the widest possible audience, ” the objectives of Apple are still very clear. Apple Music has come to market later than other competitors and cannot compete in terms of numbers without the huge customer base that has Google.
Currently, the service Apple has about 6.5 million paying users, much less of Spotify that from his experience of many years it has at least 20 million. The service also has a Swedish listening mode completely free, and active users, if you count those ” free “, are more than 75 million.
