Gaana Music - Songs & Podcasts Reviews

by ExtinctCoder

Hi i am a paid subscriber of GaanaMusic. The way you guys promote hot shots to the client it is less like a feature more like a tiktok copycat. Please give paid users at least a option to disable this feature. It is very annoying when first time loading GaanaMusic hotshot is benign highlights. Specially when i paid for the subscription. I really dislike this feature. I subscribed to listen music. Not to consume tiktok copycat content. Please take a look at this.
You guys did a good job of playing user created content when the music is playing. I like this feature. Please disable this hot shots crap. It will lose your reputation. GaanaMusic is tracking my location in background with no reason it is a serious violation of privacy. Thank you.

Used GaanaMusic for years because they had a great music selection. I didn’t mind listening to ads in the middle of streaming because they have to make money some how. Now though, they refuse to play any music until you watch an ad with GaanaMusic open once every 30 min. I was willing to put up with that too, until it started forcing me to watch an ad after only 5 or 10 minutes of streaming claiming that I had used up all 30 minutes already. On top of that, I have to listen to an ad every other song while streaming. What’s the point of an app where all I do is look at, or listen to, commercials? If this is your way of forcing people to buy your premium access, not only did you not get that, you are no longer going to receive you ad revenue from irritated listeners like myself. There are so many options out there, do not use GaanaMusic.

If there’s one thing a music app should do flawlessly is to keep playing music in the background. Guess what, GaanaMusic does not do it. It’ll play 1 song and then just stop playing other songs in the queue. I am a free user but really I don’t think paying them is going to fix this bug. It has good songs but I have stopped using GaanaMusic because this blatantly fundamental bug. I finally got around to writing this review but this bug has been around for at least over a month now. Not sure how the product and engineering team is even sleeping when such a basic issue is open (or maybe the company is winding down?)
If it helps, I’m on iPhone 6s, iOS 12.3.1, Gaana v8.9.0
And I do most of the listening when connected to car Bluetooth.

I’m a paid subscriber & First to start my review, I’m not sure if the developers of GaanaMusic is thinking about where the future of GaanaMusic is going for newer & upcoming devices 🤔. GaanaMusic needs a lot of improvements ASAP. It would be also nice to see GaanaMusic having both portrait & landscape mode but currently all I see is that it only has portrait mode which really is annoying to use on all newer mobile devices when BT Keyboard is attached. Developers, please think about all different ways & implement/integrate features to adjust automatically for newer & latest devices. Keep in mind we are heading drastically & fast into the future & you need to keep up with it. I feel that This feedback for improvement might be also ignored by you developers & or deleted. Additionally, nothing will probably be done about most feedbacks that other have given!!!

The suggestions in GaanaMusic according to the music you listen are good, but there is a problem with GaanaMusic sometimes that it stops at the advertisement and doesn’t play further . sometimes it also doesn’t play the next song. closing and reopening GaanaMusic does the work but it is so frustrating that the problem still continues. i looked in the store if there is any updated version, i also uninstalled and reinstalled GaanaMusic again, but the problem still exists 😑😑. I loved GaanaMusic so much before this. I am afraid i should use any other music app if this still goes on.

After last update I am not being able to login to my account. I am not getting the OTP in my phone number to login to my Gaana+ account though I have 1 year subscription. Contacted their support couple of times but they keep saying they need sometime to check. Still not received any solution from Gaana support team.

Worst customer support of all time !!

Update: Finally my issue has been resolved. It took them around 2 weeks to fix my problem. I would suggest them to be more responsive for customer support.

At times the recently played area is missing from the homepage. I also can NEVER remove a song from my queue..adding it to the end doesn’t work either. I wish it also “fell” off my queue when new songs are played. There should be an option that it removes itself if it’s at the end one a song is being played because there must be a reason why the user is deciding to put it at the bottom of their list.

Consistent recently played to show up
Make the remove option work!!

I have been using gaana since its first release and I used to like it even when they had limited songs. Now the new version of gaana doesn’t work at all, it gives me all kinds of problems like it doesn’t auto play and doesn’t connect with car properly. Next song will not play if your screen is locked and when I unlock the phone and open GaanaMusic it just hangs on some random add, so I have to force GaanaMusic every time to close it and reopen but the same problem gets repeated after some time....I would be happy to switch to older versions if there is a way☹️

Hello Gaana Team,
I am Gaana+ user for quite some time.

App keeps on crashing every time I buy new iPhone. While the phone is locked and Gaana playing songs, all of sudden it will crash.

Also, I have created one of my favorite playlists.
I was under the impression that all my songs are being added to that playlist, I was also getting Gaana pop-up stating the song was successfully added to the playlist.

Over year later, I found only 99 songs when I went to review the playlist. Which should have been twice that number at least.

Other features are good but the core features like playing songs and playlists are the core features. And they should work flawlessly

Also, for gaana plus yearly membership paying users, there should be FLAC or other lossless formats!!

Hope Gaana team will be able to get the core functionality working in order and lossless format!!

Thanks

I am using ganna application frequently since many months but in last couple of weeks I observed an problem in an advertisement of the application Dragon City game. While using the ganna application, whenever the advertising of the Dragon City game pops up, I am not able to use the ganna application on my cell phone screen and every time I have to stop listening to music by closing the ganna application completely and again have to open it. The ganna application team should look at this problem very seriously.

I have been using Gaana app for last 2-3 years but since last 6 months or so it abruptly stops playing music in between the song. If the song gets over, it does not play next song even when 'Autoplay' is turned on. While driving in car, it does not move to next/prev song if car audio buttons are used even when bluetooth is connected. I have deleted and reinstalled GaanaMusic , checked settings that might affect autoplay functioning but that too didn't help. I have Gaana version 8.9.0 installed on iPhone 6 having iOS 12.3.1.
I saw similar issue reported by other users, so it seems something is wrong in app itself.

GaanaMusic is okay, but it has a lot of bugs. My app crashed and I haven’t been able to open it since. Sure, it’s a bug which was “fixed” but I got the update and it still didn’t work. I used to have Saavn, another music app before. I think I’ll stick to that. Also, gaana team: you need to add a better song collection. It’s very hard to access the songs you like compared to saavn. Saavn has them neat and organized to your preferences. Gaana is very unorganized. Right now, many people are getting gaana because you have to pay for saavn. But that doesn’t mean you lay back and laze around. Improve! Innovate! Interest people! At this rate, I’d rather pay at saavn. I think saavn will soon gain more people than you, if not already, if you don’t improve your app soon. But, no pressure😉. It doesn’t matter if your app fails and dies, even with all the advertisements raving about it.

This is a great app but there are a few glitches which make it difficult to continue listening.

1) Every time any ad comes up GaanaMusic just stops playing music, I then have to restart GaanaMusic to continue with my playlist.

2) I am not able to use voice commands or steering mounted controls for apple carplay, if I am driving usually this means I have to switch to my music app which I can control with my voice or steering mounted controls.

I have been a Gaana Plus user for quite sometime now and I’m absolutely in love with GaanaMusic. I would have rated GaanaMusic a solid 5 but have reduced a point due to one annoying issue. If I hit the search button while streaming a track, some random promotional video starts playing in the search screen which even interrupts the current track being streamed. This prevents me from searching for a track during streaming. I have tried disabling the Video Autoplay in Settings but it didn’t resolve the issue. If not for this annoying bug, it’s a joy to use GaanaMusic.

I have noticed other reviews that are similar. For iOS/iPhone users you cannot listen to music without unlocking your phone and clicking the “next” button. I really enjoy having my songs on repeat and I cannot do that without having to unlock my phone and having to press the back button. I had to stop using Gaana becoz of this :(

**Also, another thing I noticed about Gaana is that they tend to replay old music that you listen to whether you like the songs or not, is there way for GaanaMusic not to do this?**

I really love Gaana app tho and would love to continue to see improvements to GaanaMusic ❤️

So, my mum has gaana and so do i but somethings not right.

And now i just i got and its nit working it keeps getting paused again so please fix. Thank you for reading.

I want to give GaanaMusic five stars. It’s a really amazing app where I can just listen to music whenever you want... I want except where there’s no internet. Can you fix that please? I want to be able to listen to this type of music wherever I please. Another thing are the lyrics. Their not coming up on the screen. I clicked but it isn't working. Can you help me with that? And last thing, it’s missing a couple of songs. Don’t get me wrong, almost all of my faves are in there, but not all of them. I’d love it if you could add Mr. Majnu songs in there. Other than that, its an amazing app. I would Totally recommend it for a house party, or a get together.

Gaana has been proved to be the best Bollywood songs streaming application. The application has some cool features which makes it above other competitors. The switching of songs in the playlist is seamless. One thing that I think requires some attention is the search. The prices are also little higher side considering g the fact that it is audio only content. Being an international customer I found it little costlier. I think you can consider different kinds of packages limiting number of downloads at a time which will give subscribers some more options.

Gaana is a great app, i use it all the time. Its is uptodate, has the latest songs. It is missing quite some albums even from prominent singers, like before 2010 onwards.
I had a question, if someone could help delete songs from my playlist, I tried many ways but could not delete songs from my playlist.

Update: so I changed the rating from 4 to 5 stars. Thank you for contacting me. I was able to edit my playlist. I am a daily user of gaana and I really like it 👌🏻👌🏻

I just downloaded GaanaMusic and I am completely in love with it! It's very user friendly and all of the features like the radio, the pre-made playlists, and the search option seem excellent. The ability to choose preferred languages, discover artists, and listen to music based on your mood are also great features. And a lot of the songs include lyrics! For someone who is trying to learn Indian languages (primarily Hindi) this is hugely useful. I can't speak to the extent of the song collection like other reviewers, but it's perfect for me. This is my favorite music app I have ever used and I am so happy to have discovered it!

I want to give ganaa 5 stars. But GaanaMusic is so crappy that despite of the awesome song library, we can't listen to much. GaanaMusic stops playing songs randomly. Hitting next on the car Bluetooth controls plays the next song from Apple music app and but ganaa. GaanaMusic does not support Apple carplay even after more than a year of apple allowing music apps in car play. I might be nitpicking on carplay compatibility, but think about the workflow after getting in the car... Unlock phone, open ganaa app, select song. While driving, if you want to skip song, that's not possible as the buggy app will not take commands from Bluetooth next and instead play Apple music song. So you have to open ganaa on the phone again while driving and hit next or pick another playlist. Honesty, it's totally unusable.

GaanaMusic is so great but the thing i hate is that it does not allow u to clear ur recently played.....so if i play a somg i like, even the dumbest songs that i hate always play just bc i cant remove them from my recently played....please allow the option to clear the playlist....
I even tried to reinstall GaanaMusic but the whole playlist is back!
Otherwise i love GaanaMusic ....its not paid and thats what makes it better than saavn
Wd give a 5 star rating if this issue was fixed
(Also cd u add more songs from previous movies like harry met sejal, and many more)

I have been enjoying GaanaMusic from long time. It’s an awesome app. But, recent updates have broken it. After playing a song, it doesn’t continue to the next song. It gets stuck and then you have to unlock the phone to see that it’s stuck on an ad. It doesn’t play the ad either, just shows black screen. I have to minimize GaanaMusic and open it then the ad goes away and then hit play to play the next song. That’s really bad experience. Also, there are no controls on the lock screen now.

Guys i have been using Gaana premium since last 3 years. When i say there is a bug then it does exist. So here it goes, there are multiple songs that get queued up for download but never get downloaded these are all duplicates. There is one that shows downloaded but also that is queued up and not downloaded. It wont ever get downloaded. So when i am offline the so g wont play even though there is a duplicate that is already fully downloaded. Please fix this issue. By the way the new Ui is nice. Good job UI team.
