Following a wave of backlashes towards Apple Music, executives of the luxury device manufacturer are now scrambling from their seats reportedly threatened by Android. More than two months from its release, Apple Music is confirmed to undergo a complete makeover.

Apple users are not happy with Apple Music app primarily because of its unorganized and half-baked design. According to reports, the music app has iTunes library issues and bewildering user interface despite accolades for the Beats 1 and playlists.

For some iTunes users, the main problem encountered happens when syncing content from the music lib with iCloud and the iTunes 12.2 upgrade.

In an interview, iTunes head Olive Schusser said Apple is already planning out immediate measures to counter such negative claims from the public before expanding it to Android and Sonos devices in late 2015. The executive remarked that the team if focusing on the editorial and playlist, plus new features will be added.

Even the Apple Music Connect, he noted, will undergo a major makeover. In the upgraded version, it is expected to bring in more collaborations with artists.

Since its launch to iOS, Mac and PC on June 20, over 11 million users are tallied member of the community's three-month free of charge trial. Despite reported issues, Apple has emphasized that the download business has been very healthy with the help of iTunes.

When Apple Music hits Android devices, the Cupertino giant is expecting a full-blast revenue that the app would generate. Apple knows the marketability in Android already when its iOS-pioneered games and other apps made a jump to Android and became huge hits. Apple is expecting the same reception from Android fanatics at the same time.

However, the problem would not end when Apple fixes the music app. Android are accustomed to Spotify which has been a true too for music enthusiasts. The three-month free trial though is expected to contribute hugely to the app's success.
