### 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

### 3/5 — RA II

*2016-05-04, version 2.0*

Tried to use app several times at a venue in Nashville and it would not load. Disappointed

### 5/5 — New Independent Music? Free Streaming? Umm… thank you!

*2015-04-07, version 1.1.7*

When I heard that a bunch of my favorite local performers were getting their music out through GigTown, I figured I’d check it out. I’m a guitarist, but not a performer. Nevertheless I have friends that gig, and I love hearing the all the talent gigging in my area. So I downloaded the app, and holy bejeezus! So many insane musicians. I’m building a playlist that I can’t wait to hold over my buddies. We’re always bragging about who finds the best new music, and with GigTown I just hit the motherload!

### 5/5 — Local Music

*2015-02-26, version 1.1.2*

Great for finding new and up and coming local acts.  Clean layout, great sound.  Wish it had links to the bands social media and/or website so you can check more about them without leaving app.  But i'm sure they are working on it.

### 5/5 — Support local music!

*2015-01-20, version 1.0.3*

Speaking from a musician's point of view, this app is by far the most valuable app a musician could've ever hoped for. It is free to use, and the promotional opportunities offered here would have otherwise cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars. We are able to reach loyal fans in our local communities, book our own shows, and promote our original music on a free and easy to use platform. Thank you so much GigTown!!!

### 5/5 — Continues to Impress!

*2015-01-15, version 1.0.2*

The guys at GigTown continue to provide a quality product with this latest update. This app keeps getting better and better! Highly recommend downloading it so you can discover your local musicians and book them in  an easy and convenient way.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2015-01-15, version 1.0.2*

Great way to discover local artists.

### 5/5 — Brilliant App!

*2015-01-14, version 1.0.2*

I love how easy GigTown has made it to discover and book local artists!

### 5/5 — Great idea, beautiful app

*2015-01-14, version 1.0.1*

This app is a brilliant idea and the interface is really easy to use. I never knew booking live music could be this easy. Great work Gigtown team!

### 5/5 — Innovative new app

*2015-01-13, version 1.0.1*

This has totally changed how to find a band for the right occasion. Easy to sign up and use. Telling all my musician friends to sign up and join. I can't believe no one thought of this sooner!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 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 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

### 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

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2016-02-09, version 1.8.5*

Don't waste your time. I would have rated negative 5 stars for that's not an option so it gets one for now.

### 1/5 — Ap won't open

*2015-07-27, version 1.5*

Can't open the ap on my iphone or iPad. That stinks!

### 1/5 — App won't even open

*2015-07-19, version 1.5*

Sounds like a great platform, shame that it can't even deliver on step 1.

### 1/5 — Crashes - won't open

*2015-07-19, version 1.5*

Just read the article in Entrepreneur magazine about your app. Sounds promising - disappointed it won't open.

### 5/5 — Changing music scene for the better!

*2016-05-24, version 2.1*

If you listen to music, love discovering new music, play music, and/or enjoy hiring musicians for any reason this app just may change your life. GigTown makes it so easy to find new music, stream tunes by choice or random with their radio, and support music you love by tipping musicians for every check in at no charge to the user...ever! A free way to find music you love and help support them?! It's all true.

### 5/5 — GigTown is the Uber to Live Local Music

*2016-05-23, version 2.0*

Finally there's an app to listen, see and book local musicians. I always said, there has to be another way then going to the antiquated Reader/Weekly paper to find local music. I love the new radio feature.. The Pandora for local music.. 5 Stars!!! Love it.....💛💚💙💜❤️

### 5/5 — Best. App. Ever

*2016-04-20, version 2.0*

It's like the gods knew what was in my heart and made an app out of it. If you have lay music, like music, or just have ears this app is for you!

### 5/5 — Phenomenal!

*2016-02-03, version 1.8.4*

I'm a musician and I've been booked many times over the last year through the app. The people over at GigTown are awesome and love everything about supporting local music. This is such an amazing tool for musicians and people who love live music. Whether you're a musician looking to find new avenues for booking gigs, or someone who loves to listen to live music, GigTown helps all of those pieces come together. There's even a radio feature. How sick is that?

*2015-12-24, version 1.8.0*

Very useful

### 5/5 — Local Music When You Want it!

This app is great! Want to listen to some great local musicians at happy hour? Want to find a reggae artist and your local watering hole? Just log into Gigtown and it will show you all the local music acts around your town! You can find new music you like and even book them for your next event. Support local music and download GigTown.
