### 5/5 — Don’t listen to Star (the user who got banned)

*2026-06-23*

The app is a fun way to share music with friends and the general public if you’d like. Th person who wrote the negative review is a disgruntled user who wanted to be part of the development team but was refused.

### 1/5 — Won’t honor the free version hosting!

*2026-06-06*

With the free version it says you get 10’hours of hosting… which I need to see if this will work for our group. 
I tried it for the first time and it said I had already reached my 10 hours and I needed to upgrade to a paid account. 🤬

### 5/5 — Terrific

*2026-03-01*

Great time

### 1/5 — Yeah

*2025-12-28*

App doesn’t work

### 1/5 — APP IS A BROKEN MESS AND THE CEO BANS ALL NEGATIVE FEEDBACK

*2025-12-01*

Hangout is run by a CEO who is nothing more than a tech bro trying to pump and dump investors for money and killing a once beloved platform. I absolutely loved hang out. Used it all the time found friends found community on it and then the CEO (Joseph Perla) decided he wanted to power trip and ban a whole bunch of people who had any descent in the matter including a mod. He’s obsessed with putting AI in so he can get more money from investors to eventually leave this place high and dry.  He doesn’t care about art he doesn’t care about community do not give him any money.

As for the app, the app itself is broken. You can’t find half of the songs you wanna play and now you have to pay for randos to listen to your music. This app is a mess use literally anything else even all the problems aside- ironically we got banned for trying to get these problems addressed

### 1/5 — Moderator moved me out of q

*2025-08-31*

Waited in line to play a song when I finally was second in line I got skipped. The moderator? I’m guessing he was the moderator? Moderator Jose move me out of q and put him and his friend ahead of me. Instant uninstall.

### 1/5 — Icon?

*2025-06-15*

What the heck is this app icon supposed to be? Weirds me out every time I look at it

### 5/5 — Hangout is one of the most creative music apps out there. A Must-Have for Music Lovers and Creators!

*2025-06-03*

It combines live radio with a social audio twist and the best part? Discovering new music from others, the avatars, and the playful game elements that make the whole experience feel like a virtual music world. Hosting or joining a session feels like stepping into a digital club with personality. The interface is intuitive, the community is lively, and it's genuinely fun to explore. If you're into music, this app is a must!

### 5/5 — For music fans!

*2025-06-02*

I learned about the app from Discord and was able to find a community of music lovers and share tracks!

### 5/5 — Music from real people

*2025-05-20*

Hangout is the best music app! I get way better recommendations from real people than I ever did from Spotify
