The FMA app is better. It doesn't crash so much and supports streaming. This one doesn't.

H70%
by H####:

Its nicely laid out but please fix the crashes.... When i open up some genre it just stops then crashes..... Or if i scroll down too fast it stops and crashes. Please fix this

R70%
by R####:

I couldn't access "settings." This is probably because its beta. Also, I'd like to be able to sort by "most popular." Since the FMA is such an important idea, I still have to give it 5 stars

I really wanted to like this , but I tried to run it 3 times , and 3 times it froze on the genre page. Uninstalled.

I'm excited to finally see that someone made a FMA app, and especially excited to see that it's released under the GPL. Works pretty well for what it is. Would love to be able to search, and choose whether to download an individual song or an entire album.

In theory, this is something I'd use a lot, love, n rate 5/5. In practice, almost everything I want to listen to,and download to my phone,is not playable on the stock Android music player or ES or Google Play music. They're mp3 files,right? Why did I get a FILE TYPE UNPLAYABLE when I attempted(over n over)to use the app. So disappointed. I'm trying the other FMA for FMU app.I love the station but this app, not so much. If fixed I'd be thrilled to edit this and USE the app!

It's great to see this app. I have been able to browse, download an play tracks on a Galaxy Note 3. I have spotted some bugs and also have a few feature requests. Is this the best place to report these or is there an email that is more appropriate? Bugs: 1) the settings option on the menu doesn't do anything. 2) when scrolling through the genre list, the app crashes before I get halfway through the alphabet. Requests: 1) A streaming player to preview songs before downloading? 2) The ability to search genres

I truly admire the people that works at the Free Music Archive and those artists who contribute to their cause. This app in particular is an excellent Beta version, and it has quite a few bugs, that I'm sure will be figured out very soon as this is a GNU project. It's commendable, and some users here need to be reminded that this is a non-profit, listen pre-cleared music that can be included in multimedia projects. These guys are not here for the buck and they are neither Google or Apple, so their development resources are limited. Bear that in mind.

But, it forces close on me every time and the app doesn't carry all the music that's on the web site.

It's a nice start. I'm looking forward to more streaming and less downloading. (Makes space management on the phone easier.)

I agree Josh, but my ideal FMA app is going to include: - ability to LOG IN, play my favorites, playlists - STREAMING, and then every song played is cached on sd - better SEARCH, also browse by curator, other users - able to play mixes and single tracks, not just albums
