Apple Music Android App Download Details: Release Date And Features To Watch

However, the fact that this is a beta means that certain features from the iOS version aren’t yet available in the Android release, including music video support. It is worth noting that the Apple Music app is in Beta on Android and is missing a few key features that make it great on iOS. Meanwhile, Google Play Music, being the default music app for Android, lets users access all of its features.

The Apple app adds variants to Android music streaming services for users to utilize.

In an interview with TechCrunch, Apple SVP Eddy Cue stressed that Apple Music for Android was created to cater to Android users, not simply as a port of a native Apple experience.

Android versions of Apple Music applications were made available everywhere the service is offered, except China.

It might have taken a while, but Android users can finally get their hands on Apple Music. “One of the things is that we obviously don’t know a lot of these Android customers and we’re excited to hear what they’d like us to go do”, Cue said.

According to Apple CEO Tim Cook, Apple Music now has 15 million users, 6.5 million of which pay for the service. Apple Music and Google Play Music also allow users to listen to music offline, which has been the traditional way of listening to songs. Apple Music brings all of these and, as we’ve told you above, you get a 3-month trial, where you can test and see if this application suits your needs. The app requires Android 4.3 or higher.

For new subscribers, Apple is still offering a three-month trial period, so any potential listeners can try out the service for an extended period of time before deciding on handing Apple any of their money.

Apple has to put its streaming music everywhere to be competitive as the streaming service field is already crowded and has giants like Spotify. The only question then is whether you want to invest in a Apple Music subscription.
