Love this app
Muskavcaji
8tracks continues to be my favorite music app. Finding new music on playlists that other people have created is better than an algorithm!
Terrible (No longer terrible!)

I used to love this app, I found some of my favorite artists because of this app. All of a sudden I have 1 hour of listening per WEEK. I uninstalled the app and will find something else to listen to music with. Update: I got an email today that all listening limits were gone. Unlimited listening, how it was before! I’m so excited and immediately downloaded the app. I’m so happy to start exploring the app and new music again.
ITS FINALLY BACK!

The old 8tracks that I loved finally returned. Im so excited to get back to enjoying this app. I would definitely recommend this if you love music. Thanks so much to everyone who contributed in the bringing back of this amazing app. Well done 5 stars !
Proud of You Guys

I’ve been an 8tracks listener for years, and I know you guys have gone through a lot as a company and I just wanted to say I’m proud of you for getting through it all and not giving up. I’m excited to watch you guys grow ?
Unlimited again!

Now that the time limit per week is no longer in use anymore I will resume to use this app as liberally as I did before the limit was put in place. I'm glad that the developers got the money that they did, and one day I hope to become a member too. A really great app and I'm glad I can use it as much as before again because this is my favorite music streaming app.
I missed 8tracks

I redownloaded this app cause i heard they got rid of the pay to listen stuff but i cant even log in. I tried to log in with facebook, but it just loops me. I click log in with FB, it takes me to a safari-looking page (but im still in the app) that asks me to login with facebook, i click ,it redirects me to the FB app, i click yes log me into 8tracks, it says ok, and we’ll send u back to 8tracks too, then sends me back to the safari-looking page without logging me in. Great app. [edit] i was able to log in on desktop, then change my pass and log in on phone from there, so its cool, but it still needs fixing. Haven't used app yet, but things are looking up. Changed the rating to something less terrible.
Do plus subscribers have to listen to ads?

I just got your email about the new free listening and I’m hoping the answer is no. I use 8tracks when writing and drawing so to suddenly hear an ad will kinda break my focus. I haven’t been using the app as much with little time for it so I haven’t tested it yet but I’ve been a plus subscriber for over a year now so I hope I don’t have to hear the ads! (Though yay for you guys!! I’m glad you’re on the up and up I love you guys)
It’s Great

I love this app, even with the decreased number of new playlists since a lot of people jumped ship after the listening limits were imposed. I have a Plus subscription, though, and plan to keep using it as long as I can. My only real issue is that the option to stop playback at the end of a playlist was recently removed from the mobile app. I used that particular sleep timer every time I listened to a playlist, and using the app without it is a little annoying. I’d love to either have that sleep timer back or an option like on the website to automatically stop playback at the end of every playlist.
It used to be great

You can tell me as many times as you want that the whole "pay for basic access to the app" had to happen, and you guys ran out of options, but I've never been part of something like this where the consumers are punished for something they never had control over. I've never had functions in an app taken away before and suddenly prompted to pay for something that was free beforehand and treated like I should've known that. It was surprising and disappointing. Every playlist I've made, I've made with love. It felt like a piece of art I was putting together. Now, I just feel like with a "likes" based listening allowance, I'm never gonna have more than a few listeners, what with people running out of listening time and leaving 8tracks. I'm honestly fine with the ads. If it takes an ad at the end of a playlist to pay for the app being up, advertise away. I just want to be able to listen to music and share the music I love again. It's a good app, with a good idea of music sharing, and a surprisingly close community. The ads are bearable, the constant notifs for 8tracks Prime are fine, it's the limit on listening time that is the reason people have stopped using it. On my old phone, for some reason, 8tracks never updated and gave me all the listening time I wanted. That one broke and I just downloaded it on my new phone. Of course, the latest version. I don't know if I'll keep it, but no matter how many limits are put on listeners who choose not to pay, I think I'll always be drawn back to listen to my favorite playlists. They've introduced music to me that I otherwise never would have heard. They help me write. They're made by people like me who love music. Let me know when it's free again, 8tracks, because I want to love this app again. That was why so many people used it in the first place.
