Okay so- great concept, I have the payed membership and it's fabulous. But the app is so buggy it's borderline unusable. Mine won't play a song for more than thirty seconds and the whole thing crashes regularly. I will happily change this to a five star review once these bugs are addressed, but until then I'm sticking with the browser app.

I love 8tracks and I pay for adfree listening, but this app is perpetually broken. On every playlist, on the first or second song, the playlist will quit and exit out of the playlist entirely and if I try to replay the playlist, it'll do the same thing every time. I can't even use the app anymore because of it. Everytime it resets the playlist, it will also disconnect me from any bluetooth connection. It wont let me report this bug, so I can't even get help with it.

I was a massive 8tracks fan for years. I've been paying since they put up a pay wall. It's now effectively dead. The Android app does not allow consistent Bluetooth streaming. Nor does it connect via wifi like Spotify and Amazon and Apple can. Notice how the developers don't respond to all of the issues in recent reviews? Stear clear. For long time users, I highly recommend Soundiiz. It's free and will allow you to transfer your playlists to Spotify or the music app of your choice. RIP
