### 5/5 — The best

*2023-09-14*

This is the best media app out now. It would be even cooler if you could set it up like a Facebook live or Instagram live and people could see you and interact with you while doing your show live. Hope the ability to live stream comes to this app. This would knock it out the park because you wouldn't have to pay for a streaming app to use it if it could integrate with a streaming app would be cool. As for now, keep up the cool work and I'm loving this app.

### 3/5 — Great idea but….

*2023-08-15*

They want people to work for free. While this is my passion , it was never my passion to have a fake carrot dangled to entice more content when they had no intention on paying out , though they claim I’ve missed a few, but still haven’t gotten the opportunity to provide payment information or related tax info, and I’ve been over there since oct 2022, and amassed a decent following and engagement, and yet still nothing. The platform itself is borderline toxic , however it has community engagement geared towards music, so if you’re an independent label, this could be a great way to release your music to an audience that is truly there for the sake of music . There is a ton of opportunity that outweighs my desire to leave but don’t count on support from the app, especially if you don’t plan to talk about celebrity gossip or play top 40 songs we have already heard so many times.

### 4/5 — Love the Idea not the Product

*2023-07-25*

Amp is Great!! The idea you guys bought to life to bring people together in a different way is amazing. The idea is great but the app on the other hand can be a lot better. Connection as well as the interface are your biggest issues right now. Connection keeps lagging or drops a lot when your out and about. The interface keeps freezing & shutting down makes it frustrating listening to a show straight through. The profiles need to be beefed up to put more information about ourselves or maybe a timeline to keep our audience entertained while we are offline. Airplay capabilities down the line would be awesome so we can jam on our tv’s as well. There’s a lot that can be done down the line & hope we get really cool updates down the line. I’m here for it and can’t wait to see what you guys bring to the table. Go AMP TEAM!!

### 3/5 — Has potential to be a great platform for creators and music lovers!

*2023-07-19*

As a creator, I love being able to connect and share my playlists with others that like the same kind of music. Although I do have fun with my shows on Amp, the platform definitely still has room for improvement.

1. The music library is limited. I’m into K-pop, my show is centered around K-pop, and the limited K-pop selection makes it harder to create fully realized playlists. Smaller artists and groups, and sometimes old songs from popular groups, are often missing. I suppose this could be a licensing issue, but it’s worth mentioning as it kinda hinders my experience with the platform.

2. The chat could be better. Direct messaging is non-existent so it’s hard to create a community outside of a show. The in-show chat sometimes doesn’t work at all and there’s no way to mention individual listeners. Also, I think it’d be cool to be able to see the chat in replays and possibly comment on replays. 

3. The functionality of the playlist during shows is a little… weird. I don’t love that it automatically unmutes my mic after every song and I have to manually play the next one. I also don’t understand what the waiting music is? but that might just be a me thing.

I’ll still be hosting shows on Amp and I’m looking forward to seeing how the platform improves and grows in the future!

### 1/5 — Lacking a lot of songs and variety

*2023-07-12*

I joined hoping to find someone with good taste in music I like (which is mainly K-pop, but I also looked for other stuff I like such as post rock or metal core) and couldn’t find any. Then I tried to make my own play list and realized why. 

I couldn’t find pretty much any song I wanted to add, not extremely popular, new or lesser know artists. I did find plenty of instrumentals of these songs, or some versions where groups did a cover in another language. But not the original songs. 

I’m guessing they probably couldn’t get licensing for them. But to me it defeats the purpose of this app if I can’t share or find people with music I like. Pretty disappointing but maybe in the future they’ll add more songs. I’m gonna check back a few more times to see if I find ppl with music I like, but it seems like it’s just not for me as of right now.

### 4/5 — Loving the Amo community!

*2023-06-19*

I started using Amp about 12 weeks ago. I was intrigued by the idea of sharing my musical tastes with others. It was a slow start with a few friends/family listening in but it is slowly growing and I’ve been able to interact with others across the country who share musical tastes and are super supportive and welcoming if you jump in and start chatting. 
I look forward to more enhancements and how Amp grows in the future!

### 5/5 — Still building the app but it’s going places 👏

*2023-06-18*

Amp is a work in progress, they are still adding features and take a lot of feedback from users right now. Great time to grow with the app if you want to be a host. Also there are some quality hosts on the app and you get to listen for free. I’m sure ads will be coming eventually but gotta pay for all of it somehow.

### 3/5 — Smaller creators need to be the backbone

*2023-04-25*

I love this app. I’ve had lots of fun doing some shows and creating playlists. But I don’t like how you can only play music when nobody is listening within the first 20 minutes. People are more likely to filter in and out than listen from start to finish. If I have waiting music playing when someone comes along, they’re gonna move on to the next show. It would also be useful if Amp could provide more advanced metrics for creators. Stats like total listeners and average time listening would be great for creators to improve their shows if they wish.

I’ve also noticed sometimes that my listener count will suddenly drop to zero even though people are still listening. Hopefully Amp can fix this bug soon.

The bottom line is that smaller creators need to be given some amount of priority. It’s great that some celebrities have come on board the platform, but the appeal of this app should always be that someone out there I don’t know has awesome music taste and is willing to share it with the world.

### 2/5 — Too many bugs

*2023-03-09*

I like the fact that you can talk and play music. But the problem I have is once you wait for a listener to come in and then you play your music. It goes so fast and then it freezes up then it goes slow then it goes regular dinner freezes up and I’m not sure if the listeners are hearing that on there and as well as I’m hearing it on my end. I won’t be able to give it to Five until those bugs are fixed but I do like it my first time trying it was last night. And I had every technical difficulty going on with amp.

### 5/5 — Amp IOS Accessibility Update.

*2023-03-07*

Great work, I love what you have done by making this iOS application 98% accessible. You guys have made some serious improvements, taking this, very seriously, and I appreciate that. Great job well done. I’m proud of well you’ve done this, and listened to my feedback. As a blind user, I cannot thank you enough of how well you guys done this. Thank you again. Great work!!!
