  • Convenient app! Very useful

    I use this app a lot. Sometimes I have some time to write a verse while I’m at work and it’s nice to be able to open the app and gain access to all the beats I have saved or if I wanna shop for more. The one thing I wish they’d change/fix is to have your favorites playing from where you started instead of starting over from the top. For instance, if I go to my favorites and play beat number 4, the next beat will be beat #1 from the top of the list instead of beat 5, 6, 7, etc. No matter where in the list you start, the sequence will start over from the top. Other than that, I enjoy the app daily.

  • To the moon and to Saturn I think

    I’m just saying that you should be able to see your own face in the picture of the person who has been living here since the beginning of the year because they have no sense of the world without the same people who live in this world and they have no reason to be in the same situation as us because they don’t have the ability to be able to do anything else they have to do whatever they want with their own bodies they are the only thing that matters to me is that we are in this together and we can be happy with ourselves because we’re all in the same place together and that’s all that matters to us so we can make sure we’re all happy with each other’s lives and I think it’s all about us being able to see the same things that we are all together and that’s all right now we just want to make the best music that we can all do what we want to do whatever we can do it and we have a lot of fun with the best players that are playing with us to make a big deal with the music that is what we need to do whatever is the best thing to do whatever you can do to help us all have a good night and I love you guys and we can do whatever we have to do what we need to do the most important thing is that we have a plan for tomorrow so that we can get this done and then we can have some time to prepare for the next thing that we do and that is the stage of dreams and lights out and good night love you all have fun

  • Where are the artists I liked?

    There’s so many little tweaks that would make this experience SO much more user friendly. The activity feed is just the official beatstars account reposting tracks and none of it is the type of music I’m actually following. The only way to view songs from the artists I followed is to search them up every time I want to look, because they aren’t included in your activity feed if they haven’t released a new song and tapping on your following list doesn’t do anything. Like great I’m following 8 artists but what if I want to ACTUALLY go and look at those artists? I can’t because it’s non interactive, I have to search them manually every time from the search bar. It’s super annoying. And then even if you are trying to scroll through an artists songs there’s no quick preview, you tap on the song, it brings up the full music player, and then if you swipe to another song surprise it’s just an ad for another artist again. It’s like beatstars doesn’t actually want you to listen to the artists that you follow, just the ones they promote through either the activity feed or ads.

  • Stole my money

    I marked my subscription to not renew a few months before the renewal date because you have to do it at least 3 days before the payment is run. They still charged me the yearly price and it is like pulling teeth to get a refund. I’m going to have to call my bank and report as fraudulent. The reason I do not want to renew is it is easier to sell beats on social media directly and my own website. There is way too much competition on BeatStars, and they force you to advertise. If you do not advertise you are never going to get plays or sales, furthermore, the pro plan comes with “free” pro credits which are basically worthless. You cannot control the way your ads appear so you just have to give them money and pray they show your beats to the right people. I’ve seen terrible results on beatstars compared to google ads on my own website. Most of the pro kits are either trash or so restrictive it’s not worth using them. And of course you don’t know that until you buy and download the kits and see the read me documentation. Get your own website to sell beats. drive traffic to beatstars and they will show others advertised beats to take your sales.

  • GREAT APP! BUT…

    The literal ONLY thing I can say that still needs fixing is the bug issues. Everytime I try to go to my updated beats it’s always an error on loading. I have to hurry and click the highlighted beat before the notification pops up!

    Other than that this app is freaking amazing. The fact I can listen to the beat and write while doing it, as well as word/lyrical help if needed for a certain rhyme scheme you can’t get!

    Oh maybe a suggested fix is when I click a song to listen to the beat , in my library, and it’s reloads from the top of the list instead of start where I was at? So I have to scroll all the way through the beats to get back to where I was in my playlist? Slight annoyance but nothing crucial!

    Again app is fantastic for new or seasoned artist and producers! Love the end of the year round up too!

  • I’m done.

    I absolutely love this platform!! But there’s always a ridiculous issue with every company who creates something.

    Can someone tell me what is the problem?! This is absolutely ridiculous for professional companies to be having. Resolve the issues somehow. This keeps happening, not just one company but many others who lack discipline consistency and drive to maintain an organized and respected business. The lack of care and passion in a project greatly reflect on the creators and owners of the company. I'm sick of the lack of respect for customers who are the ones who make you your money.

    This is constant and repetitive. It wouldn’t be such an issue if it happens once every so often. That’s not what I’m seeing here. I love your platform but I have so many better options. And honestly who’s gonna stop me from just taking whatever I want from your platform whenever I feel like it.

  • Fantastic platform just one suggestion

    It’d be awesome if when I go into an artist’s catalog, scroll down, and play a beat they released months ago, that the “Playing Queue” would continue on from where I was in that artists catalog. I understand that this may be to show off the artists newest work, but often times i’ve already heard these beats and am simply perusing through their selection. It’s somewhat frustrating to then skip to the next beat and be automatically taken all the way back to the beginning (of the artists playing queue depending on what filter is applied), rather than continuing through the selection organically. I can obviously manually unlock my device, scroll through to where I was and pick back up where I believe I left off. However it would be a major boost to the factor of convenience if this wasn’t the case.

  • I love everything about BeatStars

    **Update

    The good folk at BeatStars were super quick and thorough to resolve my issue. I was back at it the same day. 😊 thanks guys.

    However, not sure if it’s the most recent update but it will not allow me to go past the “suggested beats” page. It tells me to tap 3 or more people, but only gives me 1 or 2 options to choose from, hence, being stuck and unable to move past it. Please fix it. I’m ready to create.

  • Poor Customer Service!

    I have tried to reach out to this app about the fact that when you first open the app, a pop up ad comes up and suggests beats for you, but there is no way to close the ad and it prevents actual customers from actually entering the site to browse beats, which means as an artist I cannot search beats or purchase beats. They need to fix it or stop putting ads right when you enter the site. It is a disservice to both producers and artists alike. I have tried reaching out several times, but they do not seem to care. I tried uninstalling and putting it back on, but it still does this. I sent them pictures of what it’s doing and no response. I’m so disappointed, because it use to be easy for artists to navigate, now it’s like they don’t care.

  • Terrible recommendations

    I don’t know if it’s like this for everyone else, but on mobile, it recommends beats that aren’t at all similar to what I look for and listen to. And every time I get on the app it’s the same recommendations. Will there be an algorithm fix for this?

    Other than that it’s a great app! I wish that there would be some sort of criteria when allowing people to sell beats for example, mix/quality, copyright, etc. Though It’s very nice being able to purchase/lease different licenses for beats and be able to come into contact with the producers that made them. And it’s extremely helpful being able to write lyrics directly into the app!
