    The UI is very different from YouTube music as someone who don't like Spotify the similarity is striking this makes in hard for a long time yet music user to switch

    This is a great alternative to YouTube music and it's free, very lightweight very smooth and responsive. I have one minor gripe and that's that you can't add artist or albums to your library, but I'm sure this will be fixed in a future update.
