### 5/5 — So AMAZING!

*2024-08-17, version 4.0.0*

Able to hire a musician last minute for a corporate sales boondoggle!

### 5/5 — I love this app!!!

*2024-06-04, version 4.0.0*

This app is fantastic!

### 1/5 — Glitches/ nonexistent support

*2020-02-17, version 3.3.0*

I tried to create an artist profile, which you are required to do on your desktop/laptop. After correcting errors that I needed to do for my profile to be approved so that I could bid on shows or add dates to my calendar, I still wasn’t approved, so I have contacted support at least 3 times over a week-long period and received zero replies. It makes me wonder if anyone is even monitoring their emails. Big waste of my time 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

### 5/5 — Good for SD shows

*2018-08-03, version 2.10.4*

Lots of great local San Diego musicians and shows to check out

### 1/5 — Worst company every

*2018-07-19, version 2.8.2*

The app is annoying and confusing and their support is a JOKE! 6 months and still no reply to multiple messages. Don't waste your time or your megabytes. 

Also, you can easily tell all their 5 star reviews are fake and paid for!

### 1/5 — Crap

*2018-05-16, version 2.10.4*

Can’t even upload a bio pic.  Totally broken app.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2018-04-10, version 2.10.1*

Can’t even get past the login screen without it crashing

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2018-03-22, version 2.8.2*

Open the app and it crashes, please fix. I believe in this

### 1/5 — Broken app

*2018-03-06, version 2.8.2*

Crashes immediately

### 3/5 — Update causes app the crash

*2016-07-31, version 2.3*

Love the app, but the recent update caused it to crash every time I try to open it on my iPhone 6s
