### 2/5 — Sad

### 5/5 — Amazing app!

### 5/5 — Awesome App

*2026-06-23, version 3.1.2*

Love Dancebug app. Thank you to the wonderful staff behind it all.

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2026-06-14, version 3.1.1*

We have used DanceBUG for years and each season it has been one of the easiest ways to get our dance completion media! My daughter graduated this year and we forgot to get all the media off of DanceBUG and within the app, without even having to reach out, it gave us the option to have 3 days to retrieve our media without a membership!! How wonderful. Thank you for thinking of families and support our dance family. :)

### 3/5 — Why promote live feed

*2026-06-05, version 3.1.1*

Why promote a livestream when you know it won't maintain during shows? Our studio had DB come out to recital to film and livestream. We were charged for both and yet livestream failed to work. DB was made aware but nothing was fixed, nothing brought back online. Family who couldn't travel to see the recital missed it completely. They couldn't live in the moment and call/text/congratulate the dancers. Now they have to create accounts to watch it weeks later?! There's got to be a better solution. Reading reviews, this is a constant issue!!

### 5/5 — Love this app!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-05-09, version 3.1.0*

Very easy to use! I love that all the information for the dance competition is in one place, 
especially the schedule, along with the ability to easily purchase pictures and videos. It makes the whole competition experience so much more organized and convenient.
