I’ve used the app before but had deleted in the past. Other people seem to have the issue. Is it being fixed or is the app down? ### 3/5 — Please fix this and revive!! *2025-01-13, version 2.19* I love it but once you put in your name and the pfp part comes it doesn’t let you click next!! (I have had this app before like 2 years ago and I want it back) ### 3/5 — Used to be amazing but now refuses to work with me *2024-12-10* I used to have this app in 2021 and it was really useful. I found some good songs. I really like looking around but then I deleted the app and tried to come back and everything was going as planned after I installed it. It’s running smoothly 1st name last name email and then I hit the page where it says “great. This is how your friend will see you.” And cool all right perfect sure why not and then I hit next and it doesn’t work. I click it again and again and again and it’s not doing anything like a useless button in the middle of it so I give out I’m like OK maybe the developers will fix this. I’ll come back a few months later. I come back a few months later same problem. I click the button. Nothing happens. I come back like a year or two later I click the button. Nothing happens. This is my fourth round of trying to work with the app again and it’s still not working I love this app and I’ve used it before and it’s been great, but it won’t work with me again. :( ### 3/5 — Good if I could get past profile creation *2024-10-22, version 2.19* I really want to use this app but it won’t let me get past the next button so it’s very disappointing ### 3/5 — Good, but not functional *2024-10-02, version 2.19* I’ve had this app in the past, and I’ve loved it. I recently redownloaded it but it won’t let me use my phone number, and every time I use Apple login it stops me at choosing a profile picture. I love this app but I can’t get through. I’m not sure what to do at this point. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2024-09-03, version 2.19* I put in what I like to listen too, put my phone number in and once I came to the this is what your friends will see profile pic it wouldn’t let me continue.
