Apple Music is a horrid UI/UX! So confusing and way behind Spotify yet I use it everyday.

I'd love to shuffle all my songs and also have Apple Music play similar tracks to my huge song playlist. Discovering music is a chore in Apple Music. I actually have to hunt and peck through a bloated UI.

From a frustrated customer!!!

The Apple Music UI is hands down one of the ugliest, worst designs interfaces I've had the displeasure of using. I have no idea what's going on in Apple, but along with iTunes, it feels like every new version gets worse in some way.

Why is the font so big and so bold? Why is there so much empty space? It goes far beyond whitespace: there's just large unused chunks. Why do I have to go all the way back to the first screen to swap between albums and artists? The now playing section at the bottom of the screen has pause and skip buttons that are inexplicably enormous. I can't put my finger on it for sure (because I don't have an iPhone atm) but why is it that the font (typeface and weight) in Apple Music is different to the rest of the OS?

That's the thing, though - they have no incentive to change it since it's used. Apple always took their UI risks in iTunes, so it makes sense for them to do it here, too. If Apple Music usage was low, I'm sure they'd rethink thing, but if it's used within their expectations, there's no reason to change it.

Never though I'd read agree with that. Spotify on iOS only recently got their act together. For a very long time, I thought their app was terrible. Then, they embraced the tab bar and all was right in the world. In this case, I agree that Spotify has a more pleasing UI than Apple Music, but I still use both regularly.
