Gabby should never be voted out.. the judges should have the swing vote.. ### 3/5 — American Idol *2025-05-19, version 2.8.1* It is Great!!! ### 3/5 — App has issues *2025-05-05, version 2.8.1* I’ve had to delete and reinstall several times. How can I ever be sure my votes are counted??? Fill was voted off last week. Are these votes even legit? Not sure about that. Harrumph! ### 2/5 — The app is slow *2024-04-29, version 2.7.0.* I downloaded the app to vote for my favorites and when I press the login button it freezes. ### 2/5 — One or more time zones excluded from voting *2024-04-23, version 2.7.0.* On April 22 people in MDT were unable to vote because the voting was closed before the show was even halfway over. ### 2/5 — Mrsmac *2024-04-23, version 2.7.0.* I love the ease of using the app to vote, however I noticed in the 2023 season and now in the 2024 as well, that when there are 12 contestants and less votes are not accepted by the app. Today the app list Kako as a contestant and he was voted off last night. ### 2/5 — Not a good app right now *2024-04-09* It took a few times of opening and closing the app to get to the log in screen, then once I got there, it took a couple times for me to be able to sign in. Once in, the design of the app needs work, put clips into categories by episode. Then it would be helpful if you could choose any contestant (like you can right now and get their social media) and have all their performances in one place under those links. Not sure why “Fan Feed” is there but if you can add a chat where ALL signed in users can comment while voting is open that would be cool. Also if we can get notifications for when the show is gonna start and when voting opens that’d be cool. Also if we get widgets that would be cool. ### 2/5 — Can’t download app *2023-05-14, version 2.6.1* Hey . I’m having trouble downloading this app cuz it’s asking me for verification and my apple passcode when I didn’t even need my debit card information to get this on my phone ### 2/5 — Problems *2023-04-24, version 2.6.1* Can’t seam to do anything on this app this year. Hmm. Not happy. ### 1/5 — Unfair *2022-05-23, version 2.5.0* This is unfair to the people in the show. Let people vote! Also post contestant’s numbers, keep usability in mind. This app should be better, it looks, feels and functions like a child made it. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2022-05-10, version 2.5.0* APP hangs during ads when casting over air play. Was not able to watch. ### 1/5 — Not receiving verify code *2022-04-25, version 2.5.0* I’m trying to register on the app but I can’t get the verify code! Yes, I’ve checked all my email boxes. I’ve retried multiple times and now it’s saying I’ve reached the max number code requests. ### 2/5 — Could not open *2022-04-25, version 2.5.0* I wish my email and password would have been saved. I tried to get the email link. Not good. It has worked in the past. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Voting Sucked *2025-05-19, version 2.8.1* Couldn’t Vote for Breanna Nix. App wouldn’t download & couldn’t text #9!!! Rigged for sure🤬 ### 1/5 — Log in *2025-05-12, version 2.8.1* Never get a code to sign in tried 6 times like to vote but irritated the code doesn’t appear even in spam ### 1/5 — ??? Title yo what?? *2025-04-28, version 2.8.1* Horrible trying to vote 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 ### 1/5 — What wrong with this app? *2024-04-24, version 2.7.0.* I was able to vote on Sunday. Then Monday came and we were told we needed to vote again to make the top 10. Unfortunately this app said the voting was closed. Why would this work on Sunday and Not Monday. Please fix so we can vote both days as instructed by Ryan. ### 1/5 — Sign in *2024-04-08, version 2.7.0.* Cant get the app to download on my phone ,have to go back to the APPs and open it that way to get it to work ! ### 1/5 — American Idol App *2024-04-08, version 2.7.0.* It won’t let me delete it off my phone!!! Which is very annoying! ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2023-04-25, version 2.6.1* For such a popular show, you would think it would work better for voting for the contestants. I live on the west coast and can never seem to vote due to voting being dictated by east coast time! ### 1/5 — Open!! *2023-04-24* I got the app thinking that it would be fun. But what happened was that I opened the app and tried to make a account and I filled out all the information and it said that I wouldn’t make a account because I didn’t fill out all the information I double checked it before I hit submit. So I deleted the app and redownloaded it to see if I could make a new account it wouldn’t let me though. ### 1/5 — What is happening *2023-04-24, version 2.6.1* Am I in a loop? I want to use the app yet I am going in circles. Grandma? Is that you? I’m so cold. ### 1/5 — voting *2022-05-23, version 2.5.0* i tried to make an account so i can vote and it wouldn’t let me create my account. it would say i am not able to make an account. it’s weird cus i made an account on the app a few years ago to vote for laine hardy and it worked fine so i really don’t know why it’s doing this now. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — American Idol *2025-12-20, version 2.8.1* I want please update right now Jan 26 ,2026 waiting ### 5/5 — American Idol *2025-11-20, version 2.8.1* I want please update right now Jan 26 ,2026 ### 5/5 — American Idol *2025-09-02, version 2.8.1* I want please update right now 2026 ### 5/5 — Takes a long time to download *2025-05-19, version 2.8.1* I’m sure it’s a good app it’s more updated and better quality ### 5/5 — 12 for the win *2025-05-19, version 2.8.1* Vote for 12 ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-05-06, version 2.8.1* This is amazing and you can watch videos of your fav contestants ### 5/5 — American ldol *2025-02-18, version 2.7.0.* Please send it me ### 5/5 — Love it! *2022-04-05* American Idol is amazing!
