Works as expected but... No dark-mode and very old UI are an issue. It's like they want their user to feel pain everytime they use the app, in every bars, clubs, concert hall, or everytime they watch a movie. In short everytime it's dark and we have a good reason to use the app, it's painful.

Great app for the musically curious type. Just a little rough around the edges and the way ads are used kept it from being a 5 star app.

Got an ad for the first time in years. Couldn't exit the ad if I wanted the info I was searching for. The website doesn't do this, why should the app? If I'm going to get ads for regular use of the app then I will simply uninstall it.
