Is Anghami a scam?
No. Anghami is a legitimate, large music-streaming service in the MENA region. Recent complaints, some calling it a joke or a failed app, are about the shrinking free tier, forced sponsored content and bugs, not about fraud.
don't use walahi the worst app on earth , i listen to rap for example the sequence is as follows 1)add before the first song 2) your song 3) completely useless sponsored song that you hate you can skip after about 19 seconds 4)add because you skipped the sponsored useless song 5)your song and then the process repeat I'm sure this app is a joke now

Is Anghami really free?
There is a free tier, but many recent reviewers say updates have made it close to unusable: you often cannot play the specific song you want without Anghami Plus, and a subscription message appears when you try. Reviewers describe it as having effectively become a paid app.
apparently, it has become a completely paid app that you can not listen to music in without subscribing. ok,I guess it is not for me anymore

Why does Anghami keep playing a sponsored song I didn't choose?
Free-tier reviewers repeatedly complain about a sponsored track being inserted into playback across every genre and reappearing even after they mark it "not interested" many times. Reviewers describe it as an ad presented as a recommended song, and say only Plus removes it.
It became frustrating to hear Tamer Hosny new song "Aal Fakerny" each and every time I want to listen to songs even if its rap, pop, international or even metal. I understand that it is sponsored, but I don't have the plus version to avoid ads so you play them to me as "a song that you may like to hear" I don't want to hear it and it should be obvious because of how many times I pressed on not interested every time it starts.

Why does Anghami show "You've exceeded the limit of using the app offline"?
Multiple reviewers report this error appearing for days and blocking playback of any track, even with a stable internet connection. Reviewers say reconnecting as the message instructs does not clear it, pointing to a bug rather than an actual offline limit being hit.
"You've exceeded the limit of using of using the app offline, make sure to connect to the internet to keep enjoying" This annoying error still appears for many days now while I've a very stable internet connectivity and halting me from playing any track.

Why does Anghami keep crashing, pausing or logging me out?
Recent reviewers report frequent crashes, music pausing or stopping on its own, problems connecting to external speakers or car systems, and being logged out mid-session and asked to create a new account. Several say it was fine earlier and degraded over recent updates.
went from 5 stars to 2, because the app keeps pausing the music for no reason at all. please fix this

Why did my Anghami playlists or songs disappear?
Reviewers report playlists vanishing without notice, and specific songs or albums disappearing from the catalogue or showing as unavailable. In some cases the disappearance coincided with the free tier being restricted, so tracks that were playable became locked behind Plus.
I don't know what happened... Suddenly some of my playlists disappeared... and I can no longer listen to any songs for free... When I play any song, a subscription message appears... What happened?

Is Anghami safe, and why does it only allow Facebook or Google login?
It is a legitimate service, but at least one reviewer objects that sign-in is tied to Facebook or Google rather than email and views that as a privacy concern about how much account activity is visible. Consider what you connect when signing up.
do not install spy on you and your family and do not accept log in by email only by Facebook or Google account so they can see everything
