Good concept

Good concept, find new local alternative music. Very bad execution. If you start from your house, which a lot of people probably would, your address is now public for people to find. That’s really weird and shouldn’t be a thing. Besides, there’s no music other than the one at your house if you live in a small town. Really strange app

Fun and creative

Pokémon Go with music! You can discover all sorts of band and explore the city while doing it. Nice date night activity, can sometimes be romantic

Good app if you like Pokémon go and rock/metal

It’s Pokémon go with rock it’s pretty good

Misleading Marketing

When I was advertised this app I was pretty excited to check it out. I figured it’d just show me a map of my city and what songs people were releasing around it. This app is a game, and has basically the same concept of Pokemon Go.

The concept itself is pretty neat, but as someone who works full time and doesn’t have much spare time it doesn’t work for me. I wish I could just listen to the music on the app without physically going to that location. I figure that this may point to more of my laziness, but the marketing itself did not advertise this as being some sort of game.

I’m frustrated that I cannot use this app. If you’re an active person, or live in a big city this will most likely been a good experience for you. But if you live in a suburb or out of a populated area it won’t be too handy. Less of a music discovery app, more of a music based game.

Cool idea and great way to find new music!

My only gripe is I wish there was more genres but hey it’s your app so you put the music you want to promote. Definitely will continue to support this app!
