First thoughts are that I like the music presented to me post-launch. Will see over time how that holds up, but so far so good.
On-boarding was typically Apple. No frills, minimal signup screen. This is followed by the Beats-style bubble genre/artists selector. That screen was fun, but I was a little confused by the search icon in the nav-bar, which I thought would allow me to add bubbles, but seemed to just span out into something else entirely. I backed-out of it and just continued with the few bubbles I had selected.
Like I said, music quality and selection seems solid so far. The app feels rather big -- this may prove to be a plus or a minus, but at the moment leads me to want to explore it a bit, which is seems like a plus for a content app.
There are some new UI patterns I haven't seen in an Apple app before, particularly the minimize icon when you're in the song player -- which is a modal rather than push on the navigation controller.
The first time I saw that pattern was in Youtube where you could drag down the video to the corner and it would transition dow.
I am just guessing that they're using a custom transition on a modal presentation and using UIPercentDrivenInteractiveTransition to let you drag it up or down.
