I switched to Apple Music awhile back because of the superior sound quality and intuitive user. The richness of sound depth between it and Spotify is so far apart, especially if you are listening with a device that supports Dolby Atmos. But then again, Apple Music is pretty shite at curating playlists, and that's where Spotify shines, The have a playlist for almost anything, and that's why i still stick with them.


But i hardly notice any of the complaints you mentioned, that's because i had hardly update the app, as i have clocked that the newer updates for like 1 year plus now, has ruined the experience for most people. So i would advise, you look for an older version apk, from like earlier this year or late last year, and side load it.

Plus switching to Youtube Music is a double edge sword. Whilst is great at all the things that Old Spotify is good at, if you are not on a premium YouTube plan, the experience is terrible, they have this knack of playing video instead of audio, and you can't switch between the 2, and your music stops, when you exit the app or minimize it. Of course you can grab a modded apk, but Google changes the YouTube API so much these days, that it isn't worth the hassle.

YouTube music is the best for me..
Their plan is cheap, about 900naira per month. If you pay, you can minimize the app and enjoy the musics..

Nawa for you some of these Chelsea fans oooo

Palmer who has been your best player?

Fans Sha....

What stack you using? I’m familiar with React Native

It will count how active a user is.

I'm using Flutter and Dart.

Obere4u:
If you need support. I am a frontend developer with Reactjs

Fun features: Leaderboard

Thanks for your interest bro. It would be purely mobile. iOS and Android.

The Leaderboard you suggested, what is it counting/calculating?

kushercain:
Players and coaches Stats page

Match Highlights of landmark events like champions league runs, fa cup finals, title winning matches etc- I don't know how possible this would be though

Info page or "Did you know?" or "Today in history" kind of page

Also, a page for the women team and maybe under 18, squad list and fixtures, league standing would also make sense

Match highlights are kinda illegal to show..
I love the "Did you know" and "Today in history" suggestion, thanks brother.
Yeah, I plan to include the women team as well.. Maybe the u18s later in the future.

drisham:
If interested in my services
I learnt UI/UX design and web development
I can help with content writing

Alright bro.. do you design for mobile? Let me see some of your works.

My fellow blue armies, I'm working on a chat/forum app for just Chelsea fans.

What are some must-have features the app should have?

Also, some extra fun features you would love to see in the app.

Oraimo no just get sense..
See the kind Ozuos them dey employ as marketers. All of them created their accounts between October 17 to 19 2024.

The thread was also created by one of them.
How dull can a supposed group of marketers be?

koldrun:
One of the most heartbreaking scenes in TV history. It's been over 8 years, but it still gives me chills whenever I watch it.

I stopped watching The Walking Dead because of this..

After that season I just concluded that those guys don't know what they writing anymore.

Airtel is the worst of all...
Network can just disappear for hours..

A R C A N E

This is a masterpiece..
Episode 7 was dull, I felt sleepy, not gonna lie.. But everything came together in the end.

Salute to everyone that brought this piece together, it was a good watch.

GracieX3:
Just like on twitter, you should have laughed after seeing his post and moved on.

I know the poster. He is annoying but he is not breaking any rules.

Twitter is already a ruined ground. The motherland of political, religious, and tribal discrimination..

This thread is the ONLY sane place on Nairaland that doesn't have these..
It's like a sanctuary of some sort. You come here leaving those baggages outside the door.

My point is, let's keep it as it is..
Na small small Nairaland take turn to what it is now..

GracieX3:
There are tangential discussions to movies/TV. This is one of them.

In fact many movies or TV series have political themes.

Bro, kindly go and sit down. You seem to be new here

Lol.. we've had discussions about politics in movies on this thread, that's a different thing entirely.

If I saw that post on twitter I will laugh and move on, it's funny, no doubt.

I think you're the new person here if you don't know this particular poster.

Do you think the reason he posted that was because it's funny??
He posted that because it aligned with his political view..

Things like this could create a divide here, we don't need that.

The OP doesn't engage in this thread, he only comes and drop his reviews. Engage him about his reviews, you'll be ignored.

If you know the OP, you would advise against such political posts from him..

He should continue his usual style of posting reviews et al..

GracieX3:
It was a political joke based on Rings of Power TV series.

Free the guy. It's an innocent.post

We don't need that here..

I know it's based on Lord of the Rings franchise, it doesn't matter either.

This thread is devoid of the normal nairaland political, religious, and tribal discrimination. It should remain that way..

WriterNig:
😂 🤣 😂 🤣 🤡 🤡 🤡

Don't bring your bullsh*t to this thread please.. It should remain in Politics.

Baddestguyp:
I like that you specified 3D animation. What a way to cut out 95% of animated content aimed at adults

And calling Ekko a character is doing a massive service to him.

There are great characters with great Dynamics in Arcane. But Ekko is nowhere near them

Na you be Chief of characters and film dynamics ooo.. You know what is what and which is which...


I don't agree with you 90% of the time sha, because many people like myself just watch to be entertained. All these internal details are just extras.. a good storyline, great cinematography, I'm good 😊..

Character dynamics, na the character know o. Nothing concern me.

But you should look into movie production, one could sense your passion and dedication to movies/shows. A producer go suit you bro.

If you sha produce rubbish, this thread will be resurrected to drag you 😂😂😂..

But look into working in films..

Baddestguyp:
I disagree about the fights in Arcane being great tho...

Rather I think the fights are artistic...but fights cannot be great solely by being artistic and using musical notes/beats to match the rythm

For me what makes a fight great are -

1. Stakes
2. Emotional payoff
3. Clash of ideals
4. Choreography
5. Strategem
6. Storytelling though the fight
7. Build up

All are important (I may be forgetting 1 or 2 right now)

Other factors that can play a role in enhancing these are-
8. Artistic
9. Music


1. Stakes - Apart from a few, Most fights in Arcane lack stakes. They tend to end with very little change to the status of the main characters

2. Emotional payoff - Arcane succeeds in this quite a few times

3. Clash of Ideals - Arcane mostly fails in this. While sometimes characters have conflicting ideals, these ideals are not brought to the forefront of the fight scenes. The focus is on making the fights look cool

4. Choreography - Arcane succeeds in this

5. Strategem - Arcane is decent at this.

6. Storytelling through fights - Arcane is semi-decent at this

7. Buildup - Arcane fails woefully at this. Battles in Arcane feel random. Like they just happen out of nowhere. It never feels like the story is building up to a major clash between characters. I mean, you could argue that the battle between Jinx and VI was built up but even that was done poorly...

8. Artistic - Arcane excels at this

9. Music - Arcane excels at this

The issue here is that Arcane focuses on the less relevant aspects on what makes a fight engaging.

I watched Arcane season 1 just few days ago, and I can barely remember any battles. They are all mostly forgettable...they don't leave a mark at all.
There is no buildup to the battles, they just come and go and don't stick to memory

Meanwhile fight scenes that I watched in say Naruto years ago are still very fresh in my memory

I liked that you used the term "For Me"..

Also, what would happen to you if you don't have a say in every discussion?

Jh0wsef:
Hello.

Sorry, given it to someone else instead. Thanks for your interest.

Still looking

Let me see some of your works, and drop your phone number.

I will contact the one I like their style.

Thanks.

OJEEMAH:
Like I said before, Hazard had a better team.

You had that argument with some other person not me.

And it was never about last season. I don’t know if it was you but someone said Palmer is a better player. I commented and said I don’t agree. Palmer is good but not better than Sakas plus he’s a midfielder while Saka is a pure winger. The person even went ahead to say if he prefers Neto to Saka

See the screenshot 👇

And in all my argument I always included "last season".. We can't compare overall since Palmer just had his first full season last season. Saka has done more for both club and country.

My point has always been about last season.

OJEEMAH:
Foden/Bellingham had better season and almost equal stats with Palmer. i told you its not NT performance that won him the award and even club performance Foden, Bellingham and Kane performed better and those names are also in the race for Balon D'or but you kept on saying he was the best. how come he was not shortlisted for Balon D'or?

Abt the bolded, Chelsea fans do this a whole lot. i don't know if you are active on twitter but once a Chelsea player starts shining, the next thing is to start a comparison.

Drogba vs Henry
James vs Arnold
The moment Salah began to shine, they began to compare him to Hazard.
VVD was nominated for Balon D'or, next thing they brought JT into the convo.
As soon as Palmer started balling, they began to drag Saka.

cant you people just adore your players and lets others be.

To be honest, nobody can dispute how good Hazard was but he wasn't the next best thing after Ronaldo and Messi. The next best thing was Neymar not him. its Chelsea fans that were trying to push Neymar out of the convo.

I'm a huge fan of Messi....and for the record, its not a comparison but a prediction of what might happen if Palmer continues at this pace.

You guys just don't like Hazard, SIMPLE!!
Everyone knew Neymar was the 3rd best player then, I don't know ANY Chelsea fan that went against that view.

Also, the talk of JT being brought into the conversation was a testament to how difficult it was for players to get to that point then. Everyone knows JT was a better defender than Van Dijk, the likes of Vidic, Ramos, Pepe, Cole, etc were all better than Van Dijk. It was just a reference, and it wasn't only JT that was mentioned then.

I guess anything CHELSEA rile you up, sorry 😁😁.. It's not our fault we're the pride of London.

Palmer was better than all the other players you mentioned, last season. The only difference was trophy, which is a team something. Individual performance Palmer was ahead of ALL of them.

I understand you're a gunner, I don't expect you to agree..

So, let's just drop the back and forth here..

To you they were all better than Palmer, that's fine..
To the rest of the world Palmer was better, and that's fine too.

OJEEMAH:
Sanchez wasnt an individually brilliant player?

It was Arsenal fans that brought up that silly Sanchez vs Hazard comparison. Every right thinking human knows that Hazard was a better player than Sanchez.

Sanchez was a fantastic player, no doubt about that. But you can't compare both.

You're just pained and avoiding the truth. I don't even know who brought up the Saka vs Palmer argument yesterday, but because you don't want to agree that Palmer was a better player than Saka last season you had to include Foden and Bellingham in the argument, yet Palmer was better than these two..

Like Haaland said, "Stay Humble 😁"..

OJEEMAH:
Regarding how I see Palmer, I have absolutely nothing to prove to you. Liking him does not stop me from saying the truth unlike you Chelsea fan that like to compare your players to others. if its not how James is better than Arnold, its Drogba vs Henry or Hazard vs Salah or JT vs VVD. one day we will hear Palmer is better than Messi just like you guys almost made us believe Hazard was the next best thing after Ronaldo and Messi why did you omit Harry Kane? I see what you did. I mentioned Harry Kane, Foden and Bellingham. You omitted Harry Kane to make you point valid because you know Kane outperformed him. Did others not contributed before the semis? Harry Kane scored 3, Bellingham 2, Saka Watkins & Palmer 1..... or others didn't count cos Palmer scored in the final? So Palmer was better than Harry Kane with 46goals 12 assist last season?

Kane is a number 9, and a great one too, He's obviously gonna have more goals than Palmer. In the playmaking role, Palmer dwarfs Kane..

You brought about stats, and I told you Palmer was better than the rest. And so far this season is still better than the rest. Why did you omit the rest and focus on just Kane??

Saying Chelsea fans compares their players with others is a FAT lie, we're not known for that. That is an Arsenal thing..

Chelsea fans are known to brag about their team, that is 100% true.

Also, whatever happens to Hazard's career is non of our business, for the time he was with us he was among the best 4 players in the world. If you're honest, you would attest to that. Saying he was the next big thing was not wrong, everyone with eyes could see that he was.

Lastly, Messi is nobody's mate, don't drag the GOAT into this conversation abeg..

OJEEMAH:
Are you kidding me right now?

Palmer better than Foden, Bellingham and Kane last season?

Palmer did not even make Balon D’or top 15 meanwhile Kane, Foden and Bellingham made the list.

Statistically, these guys were better than him.

What exactly did he play for the national team to win it?

How many goals and assists did he contribute in qualifiers?

In the main tournament, he scored once and assisted once.

I like Palmer but you guys really need to stop the sentiment game.

Stop trying to twist it. Vini will not just win for personal performance. He won UCL & La liga with outstanding performances. He scored 6 UCL goals…. Only Kane and Mbappe 8 had more

Oga you don't like Palmer, stop hiding behind "I like Palmer" to spew your biased take. Palmer was a better player than Saka, Bellingham, and Foden last season. He lost the PFA award to Foden because of Chelsea's performance last season. You're mentioning goals and assist score for national team, how many goals and assist do you expect a bench player to have?

His assist took them to the finals, his goal in the final leveled the game before Spain scored again.

Palmer was a better player than the other guys last season.

In what statistics were these guys better than Palmer last season? He had a better goal contribution than all these players. What stats exactly were they better than Palmer?

If you agree or not is not my business, the awards are there to back my claim.

I rest my case.

OJEEMAH:
Firstly, it’s England Player of the Year not National Team Best Player and Palmer’s emergence was not based on NT performance. If it’s based on NT performance, do you really think Palmer would have won it?

Secondly, If the players that voted considered overall stats and trophies, Kane or Bellingham would have won it.

Kane had abt 45goals and 10 assists for club and country.

Bellingham had about 27goals and 15 assists for club and country. He also won UCL & La liga.

Foden had similar stats with Bellingham. He also won EPL.

And What’s even special about winning England Player of the Year? Saka won it twice and several players have won it.

Palmer is a very good player with a brighter future but your last sentence was unreasonable.

Palmer was a better player last season than everybody you mentioned.

And he was rewarded for his performance.. Winning England's player of the season is special, it means he is the best player in the squad for that season. The same squad that has Bellingham, Foden, and Saka.

You agree or not doesn't change anything. The award is there to backup my claim.

Vini will win the Balon D'or today, using personal stats as a yardstick, is he better than everybody on that Balon D'or top 20 list?

Sccarrr:
Saka to Palmer? Are u high?
In any team If Saka is on list, Palmer is not playing , not even a banter, it happened backto back 😹😹

It happened because of the clueless coach.. Shey Palmer went on to win the National Team best player..

A player that comes from bench o

raumdeuter:
Me sef nd I never remove Saka yet Griffon wey suppose be my guy just opened triple captain on my head and capped Haaland

These men no get joy

I forgot this week's game starts today 🤕🤕..

Lomprico2:
There was infringement with the keeper, that goal should have been cancelled.

That's normal body contact with goal keeper..
Silva didn't block the keeper's view when the corner was taken..

It's a very very clean goal.

abduleez1:
Oh wow!! You knew this yet when some persons come here to disagree with your ratings or give a show very low ratings they suddenly become "sad, angered and aggressive" ??

Ain't it convenient. 😂😂😅

One of the problems of this thread is that there's like a gang of trolls, or a cult maybe, that just like to attack others while projecting their views as superior and the right way to view shows..

When one of the gang of idiots comment, the rest follow behind to like the comment or support it.

Does what you wrote up there make any sense to you? Someone said everybody get weytin them like, and views are subjective. But you still find way to see a fault in that statement. Aren't views/ratings subjective?

Your fellow gang members hurriedly liked your comments, because y'all are zombies. Weda the comment made any sense or not they have to show their support by liking it.

You said "when someone disagrees with his comment", that's not true. You guys don't just disagree, you attack his knowledge and taste in movies, you guys constantly insult his views, subtle bully going on here.. Everybody sees it, but nobody wants talk.

So, what did he say this evening that you still found fault in his statement??

Nawa for una... Una over sabi too much.

Please house, what is the best way to withdraw from Upwork to get the best rates?

Should i use Direct to local bank, Payoneer, or PayPal?

Withdrawing directly to a local bank offers a rate of about 1400 Naira to 1 USD, which is not reflective of the real exchange rate. But, I'm wondering if I would lose even more money by using Payoneer or PayPal, considering they charge fees for deposits and withdrawals.
