Gear Music Player at Mac App Store analyse

Hi Guys, I thnink technicall your app is quite impressive, but the UX is embarassing. When I enter Nils Frahm in the search for artist I get all but a link to the artist on google play. This is quite diametral to the user expectation. I am very likely to regret investing in this app if something as basic as that (while working I really just want to hear music from the artist I just hought about within 1-10 seconds, otherwise my workflow is seriously disupted and I will switch back to the web player because it can do it in 10) is not working your app simply is not worth it. Sorry, but you seriously need to work on that. best

Ive used Gear happily since 2012 until it crashes consistantly on 10.8. The developer has said its an incompatibility in one of Apples Frameworks and hes not going to fix it. However, I think this listing should refect that he doesnt support 10.8 any longer. I also tried it today on 10.10 and it didnt play anything. That is, I clicked on music in my Google Play playlist and it "played" the track but no sound came out. If I played the same track through the Google Player Chrome extension, no problem. Google probably changed something in their codecs or something but it totally hosed this application. The other Google Player requires Flash and is like a mini-browser. This app probably used Googles APIs to access the Google Music and now hes stuck playing catch up. Its been that way since V1. I wish there was a better widget out there.

The app is fantastic however after recent updates it will not play songs regardless of the amount of time that I wait. It’s pretty frustrating considering that before I used this app for most of my work day. I hope they fix this soon!

I’m so glad it isn’t just the website wrapped in a native app like so many “apps” in the Mac App Store. It actually has a nice modern interface!

Avoid. Very confusing interface. No instructions whatsoever. What a colossal waste of money.

For less than $5.99 there are much better players out there (free). Missing ability to play google radio stations (CRITICAL). Would also be nice to have a mini player option with basic controls only. Other than that, this is really basic. Finds your music. Plays your music. Way too expensive for a generic web page replacement.

Enfin une application native pour écouter la musique stockée sur Google Music (pas dAdobe Air) ! Très bonne app qui ne remplacera pas iTunes puisquil ny a pas de store mais permet davoir accès à toute sa musique partout sans encombrer son disque dur. En la combinant avec gMusic sur iOS il est possible de remplacer iTunes match pour un unique paiement de moins de 5 euros. En plus le développeur est vraiment réactif si vous avez des demandes pour de nouvelles fonctionnalités. Bref, je conseille vivement.
