Reviews of 8tracks

  • No fix 1 year later

    I wrote a review almost exactly one year ago about being unable to log in to my account on the app. my account is (and has always been) linked to my Google account, and as such I do not have a password for traditional login. They have an integrated “log in with Google” button on the website, and I can log-in fine if I access the site via safari, but—for reasons unknown—it is missing from the actual 8tracks app. In the YEAR since I made that review, this issue has not been fixed.

    I love this website, I have a lot of nostalgia for the time when it was my main source of music listening, and I regularly check in, wanting to revisit playlists or search something new—only to find that I still can’t access my account.

    I understand that streaming and hosting a site like this is not a cheap endeavor. I am at a place where (if the functionality and UI weren’t literally impossible to use) I would willingly pay a premium to support the app—if I knew it meant I’d be getting a usable service.

    Unfortunately, I cannot recommend it to anyone in its current state. I’m honestly shocked that it isn’t completely defunct at this point in time. It was a great service about a decade ago, and it’s really disappointing to see it get less and less functional as the years go on.
  • Bare bones

    Always loved 8tracks, barring the changes tp subscription and all that fallout, and tbh i still like it. However, ever since it was shut down and brought back it seems things are missing?
    On the app I can’t search a tag AND sort it by newest/popular like before. Playlists in a tag seem to be in some random order. Also om the app activity text is missing on profiles are missing or in white font as to be unreadable. Only links are readable.
    Not to mention the bot accounts and hacked faq and who knows what else thanks to t-w.

    Im glad its still mostly working, and usable as an archive for playlists from years back, but im really terrified for the day the site is ruined beyond repair and its all lost. If who ever is doing bug support could reach out and show there’s SOME life working on this app still that’d be great.
  • My favorite music app, turned into a massive disappointment.

    I hate leaving a negative review for something I just want to support, it’s still my go-to source for good music, but I feel like an idiot, paying for a Plus account only to be completely unable to upload new music, and being completely ignored when I ask for help.

    I literally just want to support a site/app that I was really sad to see shut down, and thrilled to see come back. I know I’m not the only person who still loves 8tracks, but with all this, its turning away more and more people. PLEASE fix this, because the Contact Us section of the site literally is unusable and no one will answer my emails requesting help.
