Ratings and reviews

Great idea. but its kinda clunky and hard to connect with people.

bad. this app is filled with people trying to sell their adult content which is not it's intended purpose. I have had 7 messages in the last half hour asking me to download telegram to chat to them. Grossly unmonitored.

Great app, brilliant idea! Some of the buttons are still a bit glitchy and you need to press a few times. when someone sends you a tune, you only get a preview and the full title is cut off. How do I fully open the track?
