Apple Music on Android may sound like a mismatched pairing of oil water. But after a lengthy beta Apple has kept plugging away, is now bringing the streaming service out of beta.

Apple Music version 1.0 isn’t a major update, outside of the removal of the beta tag. Though there are a few additions detailed within the changelog: “Equalizer settings a variety of performance, playback, stability improvements.” 

The equalizer is in the main iOS Settings, so Apple needed to bring it directly into the Android app in order to have a similar experience. During the beta period Apple has made several other improvements, such as a home screen widget support for music videos.

You can get the update to Apple Music for Android from the ay Store.
