This is kinda bad. The UI is inconsistent, laggy and overall ugly.
I very much prefer Innertune as it has consistency and works much better than this. Loading takes a ton of time for whatever reason.
Yeah, not sure why OP is so damn condescending here. I just tried this app today because Innertune is currently having issues playing songs and this one works.
The interface is super confusing, tapping some buttons changes other buttons next to them without any apparent reason. No explanations what symbols mean. It took me a while to find where the "liked" songs end up. Then I later tried to find it again and just couldn't find it anymore.
Yeah it's just not good at all. A song with a white heavy cover art just turn the entire screen white in "Playing Now" screen. Like, why? I don't want my eyes get any worse thank you.
By the way, Innertune's issue is fixed now.
Good to hear but it hasn't been updated yet as far as I can see.
Oops my fault! I forgot to mention that I'm using a fork. The issue is fixed there.
I have tried that one straight from fdroid and it hasn't worked for me unfortunately
Because "overall ugly" is not a constructive comment. They may not like it, that's okay, not a reason to shit on the app
what? ... not liking an app is the most appropriate reason to shit on an app.
It's the cause, not an excuse
you don't need an excuse to shit on anything.
What a useless debate. Anyway they were asking why I was "condescending", well if you shit on a voluntary work, just because it's not at your taste, you are a shit person
voluntary work doesn't make you immune to criticism and no you're not a shit person for criticizing any work.
I'd say you're a shit person if you can't handle criticism though.
Constructive criticism is different than talking shit. Still a useless debate
Nice strawman btw
talking shit is a completely different thing. and where's the strawman? it feels like you don't know what words mean.
"And no you're not a shit person for critizing any work" is the strawman
it's not though
It is since I criticized only non-constructive criticizing and not critizing in general
I disagree. "It's ugly" is valid criticism. It has the same value as "needs better/more appealing graphics". You're just annoyed it wasn't sugar coded. In fact I'd argue the former is more valuable than the latter because it doesn't beat around the bush and more importantly it points to a problem rather than the solution.
As a designer I find that most often customers don't hit the mark by trying to design the thing themselves, telling me exactly what they want, essentially trying to do my job for me. Hearing the customer's problems with it to figure out a solution on my own as a designer is better a vast majority of the time.
"I don't like it" is bad. "I think it looks awful" is better. "I hate the colors" is best. I don't really care about wording, I care about the information I get.
I don't give a shit if I'm a shit person for "shitting" on voluntary work. That is how progress is made. Sorry if it bursts your bubble.
Besides, you speak as if I only typed "overall ugly" and left it there. As you can see, I gave more reasons. And all those are valid reasons.
I couldn't care less about you giving no shit about being a shit person for shitting on voluntary work. You could just have put the constructive criticism. Putting valid reasons doesn't justify throwing in an invalid one
Yeah that's constructive criticism. "Your app is ugly, UI is laggy, the design is inconsistent" What else do you want? Drop code snippets? You clearly do give a shit judging by how triggered you got.
And how is calling it ugly an invalid reason? The app looks ugly.
Thanks sweetie 🥰
i'm criticizing, that's all
