The Apple Music app has received various complaints from users, including its deleting songs in libraries, having bad usability, and being undeletable. In theory, the Steve Jobs co-founded company can maintain the world's strongest mobile ecosystem when its users launch its Music and Maps applications and Watch apps pop up on iPhones. However, highlighting them becomes an issue when quality is also one.
Conventional wisdom says that it is good business for Apple Inc. to advertise and offer its products. Mobile analyst Michael Facemire explains that the company must maintain an ecosystem with the whole package including smartphones, tablets and applications, according to Wired.
Google's Android is the largest ecosystem in the world, due to the low price and decent quality of its mobile devices. However, Apple's is the strongest.
The tech corporation can maintain mobile supremacy when owners of its devices choose its apps over those of competitors.
Nevertheless, there is a catch.
Shining a spotlight on its apps is as effective as the applications themselves are. Apple Maps is one such example.
In 2012 it was available for millions of iPhones. However, it was such a disaster that Apple CEO Tim Cook wrote a public apology recommending that the company's smartphone users try Google's or Nokia's map apps as alternatives. Interestingly, it stayed on iPhones as a work in progress.
Now Apple Music is available on iPads and iPhones. The general consensus is that it is not the tragedy of Maps, yet is not the cream of the crop either.
There are reports of Music eating up thousands of songs from mobile music collections, and poor usability. In addition, hundreds of people have complained via forums that iCloud is interfering with Music libraries. Furthermore, it cannot be deleted.
Apple advocate Jim Dalrymple referred to Music as a "nightmare," according to Patently Apple. While industry experts have argued that his negative review basically serves as free advertising for Spotify, the app will likely undergo some major tweaks and upgrades. The jury is still out.
