### 2/5 — Sad

*2026-06-30, version 3.1.2*

Please save your money this is not user friendly super confusing to login to and I can never find my competitions or photos super sad 😭😭😭

### 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 — DanceBUG

*2026-04-06, version 3.0.9*

I love DanceBUG so much, especially as a dancer myself! It’s so much easier for my family to watch my competitions when they can’t come. I also love watching all the other dance competitions! It’s so fun when I have nothing to do! I love DanceBUG so much and I can’t wait to see what else it has to offer!

### 2/5 — Glitch

*2026-03-31, version 3.0.9*

I don’t know what happened, but I don’t know but people say that I’m supposed to find my groove picture and dance book and I don’t see it.

### 5/5 — Best App for Performance

*2026-02-22, version 3.0.9*

DanceBUG takes all of the stress out of being a Dance Parent. You know when your child will dance, if the schedule is changing in realtime - it is flawless communication.

### 5/5 — Grandparents

*2026-02-21, version 3.0.9*

Great to watch from afar!

### 1/5 — Actually the worst

*2026-03-22, version 3.0.9*

I’ve been wanting to use it as a comp dancer and THEY DONT EVEN HAVE THE COMPETITION it’s absolutely insane.

### 1/5 — Racketeering app scam

*2026-03-08, version 3.0.9*

For $89 media cost doesn’t even show the whole schedule pdf, or loaded in app, a racketeering op

### 1/5 — Worst way to watch a livestream

*2026-02-21, version 3.0.9*

The app constantly freezes and refreshing just takes you back to the spot you lost contact. It’s so slow and buffers at least twice during every dance. I feel bad for those who expected to see their dancer perform and was met with nothing but glitches.

### 1/5 — Video doesn’t play half the time

*2026-01-29, version 3.0.8*

Sometimes this app works fine and other times it doesn’t work at all. I’ll be talking to my friends who are watching livestream totally fine and I can’t watch at all. Like it literally doesn’t have the button to go to the live stream for me half the time.

It would be great if you fix this, and also made an app that you could live stream direct on a tv

### 1/5 — don’t get it

*2025-09-06, version 3.0.8*

it would not let me sign in because it says i already signed in with those emails but i’ve never used them before

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-06-25, version 3.0.6*

I created an account and verified it but it always says “token invalid.” I’ve tried using multiple emails to create different accounts and it never works.

### 1/5 — Would not recommend

*2025-04-27, version 3.0.4*

I wanted to use this app to watch friends or see what dance we are on at comps, but as soon as I put my email in and tried to sign up it said my email was taken and would not allow me to sign up. please fix this as this app seems great. One star.

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2025-04-24, version 3.0.4*

Keeps crashing! Can’t access anything!

### 1/5 — Pathetic app

*2025-04-23, version 3.0.4*

Nowhere to contact you pathetic. Trying to watch live stream dancing unavailable.
Two hours down and still no fix   
Shame on dance bug

### 1/5 — Awful app

*2025-04-12, version 3.0.4*

Literally nothing works it’s so dumb. I’m a comp dancer trying to sign in For my comp today to have a live schedule and nothing is working! I can’t even sign in. It’s pissing me off.

### 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. :)

*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.
