Ratings and reviews

The app's algorithm constantly pushes the same promo beats, making it hard to discover new music. I have to skip the first 20 tracks in any genre or playlist to find something fresh, and even then, it quickly returns to the same repetitive rotation. This has been an ongoing issue for years, which is frustrating for finding new talent and getting inspired. Please address this to enhance user experience.

The quality of music you can find on here is great, and most of the app itself is pretty good. The only reason I say "pretty good" is because there are definitely some issues within the app. For instance, the notifications are broken. I will read a message, but it will still show as unread-- which is super obnoxious. And while I'm speaking of messages, I think it's dumb that you have only 2 messages a month as a free user.

There's virtually no buffering on this App. Its live feed only. So, if you want to play and practice before purchase, you better have a solid connection or your song will be interrupted by the load. And there's no cache data. So each time you play the song, its burning your data to essentially download the song each time. Instead of just passing on the royalty tag and notifying the servers of the play, like every other app. My guess is, this is to keep the service a "marketplace" vs a radio.
