I really liked AM and used it for the better part of two years. I dumped it coz $10 a month wasn’t working with my budget anymore and I’ve been using Spotifys free service in the meantime. I don’t like it much at all, but I’m also one of those jerks who’s rear end deep in Apple so it was nice having AM on my TV and airpods and watch (though watchOS4 hosed that right up).

The biggest thing I’ve noticed reading about is that a lot of people seem to misunderstand AMs For You page. Many seem to think the New Music playlist is their version of Spotifies discover, when it’s really just newly released music. The discover parallels are where AM suggests albums and playlists if you scroll down. I didn’t have a lot of good luck with AM learning my tastes until I started Liking/disliking stuff from radio stations or stations created from songs. The UI for that is garbage though; I usually use Siri instead of 3D Touch. Siri for the most part works really well with music stuff, fortunately, but I also have a non-regional newscaster dialect.

Speaking of which AM actually has a lot of good “radio”, far more than Spotifies “rock” or “classical”. It will instead have sub genres of rock or classical or whatever.
