Somewhat Useful But Not Up-to-Date

This app is a relatively useful companion to the Freegal website. It, however doesnt have all the features the website has. I wish the interface were updated to be more in line with the latest iOS version. It looks so outdated. Also, the web has a feature that if you have reached the max downloads for the week, 5, it will allow you to add a song to a wish list instead. I dont see this option on this app, but I must say, I havent tried using the download button once Ive reached the limit, so it may be there.

Overall the app could use some updates too. Its not that intuitive. Navigation needs some thoughtfulness. Even the website navigation is bad. If songs/artists arent in one of their lists like a "Top List" you have to search for them.

One huge thing that needs fixing is that while a song is playing, iPhone (at least iOS 9 on iPhone6) doesnt recognize it as music, so iPhone doesnt show the controls for play/pause or back/forward. So while you are, for example streaming a whole album, it wont let you skip a song because there is no navigation for that. You just have to let it keep playing an album like one giant track.
