They integrated PrimePhonic into Apple Music, with a separate (but related) UI for classical music. PrimePhonic had the classical music tags that are very different from popular music tags. 🎼
Acquisition of Primephonic to release of the Classical app on iOS. We waited a long time for it. Slapping a new logo on it would have been a lot quicker.
That was some top-tier buffoonery, especially for someone like me who relies heavily on the Notes app. 😥
Fortunately, the Notes were always in iCloud, even if they disappeared from phones. Here’s the fix for anyone who hasn’t seen it:
How to Fix iPhone Notes Disappearing After Accepting New iCloud Terms

Creator of all the code that goes into all that entails just so happens to be the wealthiest company in the world. But can’t manage to do what a one man developer team could accomplish. Took Apple 8 months to put an iPad app out after releasing the rebranded phone app. It’s not a good sign, nor is it a good look. One of the myriad signs that Apple is hopelessly lost these days.
Thats right, the same for the nicer IPadOS Classical app. You need to specifically browse to Apple Music Classical with Apple Music on a Mac to see most of the content, but its not quite organized in the same manner, same with the lack of Classical's search differences.
So ridiculous. Why isn’t this available- how can they (Apple) expect others to make iPad apps available on the Mac if they won’t do it themselves. No excuse for that.Thats right, the same for the nicer IPadOS Classical app. You need to specifically browse to Apple Music Classical with Apple Music on a Mac to see most of the content, but its not quite organized in the same manner, same with the lack of Classical's search differences.
That’s insane. Apple isn’t leading from the front at all.Thats right, the same for the nicer IPadOS Classical app. You need to specifically browse to Apple Music Classical with Apple Music on a Mac to see most of the content, but its not quite organized in the same manner, same with the lack of Classical's search differences.
There are so many errors in the cataloging of music that carried over from primephonic that I’ve found. There’s so many classical recordings that never made it to cd from lp. Many that didn’t get to online or streaming from cd. And there’s lots of Soviet Union era Russian music recordings with wrong metadata. Also names get messed up in translation with multiple different spellings on recordings. My friend specializes in mid 20th century American music as a publisher and performer and that’s all a mess too. Even the scores are hard to find and out of print if even published. Lots of lost music.
Yes -- this is a big issue. I listen to a ton of classical music and love the app, but separately want to use Apple's automatically-created stations in Apple Music. The stations should be based on my Apple Music history, not my classical history in the Classical app.
Also, it should be possible to entirely exclude genres in the automatically-created stations in Apple Music.
Totally agree I wish they were actually kept separate since they are separate apps.
This would actually be a good workaround because then you could exclude Classical. The curated stations on Apple Music are generally not very good IMO. They need to figure out what Spotify is doing and copy it. Even something as simple as excluding a certain genre from a playlist would be very helpful. I listen to everything but not at the same time. I don’t want to hear Beethoven's fifth symphony right after Rammstein 😂
Please allow me to contain my *shock* that Siri function wasn't helpful or intuitive
