    After first being announced and previewed in screenshots at WWDC in June, Apple has officially brought its subscription music service Apple Music to Google’s Android platform. Apple Music joins the iPhone maker’s other Android apps Move to iOS and the Beats Pill+ companion app on the Google Play Store.

    Apple Music offers access to a large catalog of streaming music and music recommendations. Music and music videos can be saved for offline listening as well. Memberships costs $9.99/month for individuals, the same as Beats Music subscriptions which Apple Music replaces, after a three-month free trial period. Apple Music family plans for up to five different accounts is available through Family Sharing on iOS and Mac for $14.99/month.



    Apple Music for Android is on the Google Play Store now:

    Introducing the beta of Apple Music on Android.
    Notes about the beta period:
    • Music videos are coming soon.
    • Sign-ups and upgrades to Family memberships require Mac or iOS.
    • Sign-up process to be optimized for Android.
    Apple Music on Android also means iTunes music purchases can be easily accessed from Google’s platform.

    Beats Music subscribers will need to move from the old app to the new Apple Music app to continue using the service. Libraries and playlists can be transferred over. While Beats Music has also been available on Windows Phone, a version of Apple Music on Microsoft’s mobile platform will not be available.

    As for the Apple Music business, Android adds one more access point for subscribers. In October, Apple CEO Tim Cook shared that Apple had 6.5 million paying Apple Music customers with 15 million in total including free trial customers.

    Apple’s music subscription service is now available on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple Watch, Apple TV 4, Mac, PC, and Android. For comparison, Beats Music which Apple Music is based on and replaces was available on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Android, Windows Phone, and the web.

    How Android users handle Apple Music app reviews on the Play Store will be interesting to watch. Beats Music for Android enjoyed a 4-star rating after launching on the platform months before Apple acquired it. Move to iOS and the Beats Pill+ companion app, in comparison, each carry a low 2-star rating.

    Apple Music for Android (beta version 0.9.0 build 152) is out now on the Google Play Store.

    Android users: are you gonna give Apple Music a try?
    If yeah, what is the app like? Does everything work?

    What do you guys think about Apple using Android's app design but Google never using Apple's app design?

    Im not getting your point. Its a good thing when a music service is available on Android. It could be L for Google and Spotify, but not Android

    Keep in mind bruhs that whenever someone takes a W, the opponent doesn't necessarily take a L.

    Android users now have another music streaming service to choose from; they didn't lose anything. :emoji_wink:
