It was skip then start playing a short clip of a different dance then go back to live then pause after a minute of run time. ### 4/5 — No live feature? *2024-05-02* Wish it was in real time, also wish there was a live feature because we get food after performance before awards and want to make sure we’re good on time. But so glad that this company has an ap! Not many comp companies do so I’m very happy about that! ### 3/5 — Good event, App can be improved *2023-07-15, version 3.0.1* About the app. First, my wife couldn’t use it in her android phone so it seems it has some android compatibility gap. Now, on my iPhone. For some reason it doesn’t save the last event you searched or are at. Every time I opened it I needed to search for the event . Then, when looking to see who is currently dancing, after some minutes if you want to know again it doesn’t refresh automatically, so you need to move back about two layers, and then get into that screen again. That is ridiculous. Third, when looking to the schedule it doesn’t start at the day and time you are. Instead, you need to scroll down from day 1 of the event to the day and time you are, every single time because it doesn’t even save where you were the last time you used it. ### 3/5 — Live Stream! *2023-05-21, version 3.0.1* You need a live stream, let’s go! ### 4/5 — Great! *2023-05-07* This app was really helpful because I could easily access what number and dance they where on! Without this I think the day would have been even more stressful then it already was! ### 4/5 — kar *2023-05-06, version 3.0.1* good for knowing when my dances are almost on ### 4/5 — Helpful *2023-03-15* The app was very helpful backstage the tv would slow down and we would all worry that we were gonna miss our number but I just checked the app and it was on the right number. My only complaint is wishing to get the videos and photos back earlier. ### 3/5 — Pretty good *2023-03-03, version 3.0.1* I like the app but I would like to be able to log in to my account on the app. Please bring that feature back! ### 4/5 — - *2023-02-28* Love KAR!!! Would have given it 5 ⭐️, wish you would live stream. We have so many family that follow us, but can’t travel. I will not record nor take pictures like so many to jeopardize his scores! ### 2/5 — no books *2022-07-06, version 3.0.1* at most dance competitions they have books and this one you only get the app and no book and i would like to visually see my schedule on paper but the convenience factor of not having to carry a book is good ### 4/5 — Pretty Good *2021-07-02* Awards always run way over and the schedule isn’t updated in the app when running early or late. The physical awards are nice and good quality and I had a good time. ### 3/5 — Parent account *2021-05-11* I don’t like that you can’t access your parent account from the app anymore. It was much easier for pictures and videos vs. the website. ### 3/5 — Can no longer log into your account via app *2021-03-28* Who used to be able to log into your parents account through the app. In the last update you can no longer do that. To load any of that stuff through the website it takes a really long time. The app was much more user-friendly. I really wish they’d bring that feature back. ### 3/5 — App Crashes *2020-09-15, version 2.8* I wouldnt consider giving this app a 5 star because the app crashes whenever I try to look at my dance company’s dances. I dont know if it’s supposed to do that but if it is please let me know. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Choppy, no audio *2025-03-02, version 4.0* The video stream is choppy, works less than 50% of the team. Audio does not stream the other 50% of the time. Frustrating to use. ### 1/5 — horrible *2025-03-01, version 4.0* horrible app. very disappointed i could not see the dancers i i could give the app zero stars i would ### 1/5 — Basic App *2023-04-29, version 3.0.1* I would to have individualized info for my dancer like other comp apps. It’s hard to find the event and stay on it. There Should be a way to favorite the comp you are interested in No stream option to link to? App has much to be desired. ### 1/5 — Sub Par *2022-04-13, version 2.9.1* The app itself is not set up in a conventional manner. Video/Photo access is terrible. No live access. The show was disorganized and unreliable. Judging was biased. ### 1/5 — No purpose *2021-07-23, version 2.9* This app has no purpose. There is no real info on it and you have to log into the web to get to the parent center. ### 1/5 — 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼 *2021-05-24, version 2.9* 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼 ### 1/5 — 😡😒🙄 *2021-05-09, version 2.9* Live stream takes for ever ### 1/5 — App not playing videos *2020-02-22, version 2.8* App keeps crashing and won’t play videos ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2019-07-22, version 2.7* Just not very accurate! ### 1/5 — Doesn't update *2017-04-29, version 2.6.4* Horrible. Missing dances trying to follow this app. Needs to actually do what it promises ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — LOVE!! *2026-05-16* i absolutely love this app, and this competition. all of these judges make this competition fun and fair, and you guys have the best locations to do this. i love the bright lights and the huge stage just as much as i love this app. it tells you what number they are on based on your location, and they take pictures of you or your dancer’s dance!! i just love dancing and kar has made this such a fun year. my studio loves this competition so much that they try and get to it every year. love kar! ### 5/5 — I’m a dancer who dance for nationals *2025-08-25* I danced here. I did my solo, but it was in one category. It was supposed to be lyrical, but it was just into contemporary. But I loved the app because it told me when I went on. ### 5/5 — KAR *2025-03-02* I danced here at KAR and this help me keep track of the dances and I just think it’s a great app for parents as well to know when their kids have to go on ### 5/5 — Love it, and have a question… *2024-07-13* My studio and I went to this competition for the first time this year, and it was a FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE! Thank you so much Kar Dance Competitions for this wonderful opportunity. 😊 I do have one question to any of those who have this app: Is there a way to get your photos and videos in the app WITHOUT the critiques? It’s just something that’s been on my mind, and I was hoping to get them if they are available somehow on the app. Is there something I have to do that I’m missing? Please help me! Thanks, Demi ### 5/5 — This is it *2024-05-18, version 3.0.1* I love watching my daughter dance this app is a game changer!!!!! ### 5/5 — Well planned application… *2024-03-21* I was able to navigate the app for last weekend’s competition very quickly. Showing which routine was on stage and what was coming up. The event was organized and running ahead of schedule all weekend. Thank you ### 5/5 — Love this app!!! *2024-03-13* This app is so amazing(I would rate it 4 and a half stars if I could)!Because I am in company Our studio has been going to the KAR competition for the past 5 years and I have been using this app for 5 years too. This is very helpful and I love the organization. You also get to choose the competition/ place you are. But there was one problem. Last year the app was not updating and all of us were still in the dressing room when we were supposed to go on stage, so we ended up running to the stage, but this year the app was perfectly fine. Other than this it is the best app ever I totally recommend this app! ### 5/5 — I love it! 😍 *2022-10-31* I love the KAR app! It has the schedule, what act number, what number is next, and has the t-shirts and stuff. Also I love to go to KAR and Rainbow the are great competitions and have really good judges. There is one thing though. I wish it posted the schedule earlier because if it can give it to the studios why can’t it give it to us? Otherwise it is a great competition and if you are a dancer or studio owner you should definitely go to it! Have an amazing day! Peace out ✌️☮️ ### 5/5 — Wonderful App *2020-07-19* The app is wonderful, and having the schedule a day or two earlier would be nice. Thank you to KAR for streaming the events and for having the ability to view the events that may have been missed. ### 5/5 — This is amazing *2020-03-26, version 2.8* As a dancer at precision dance center this helps me keep up with our competitions and the schedule so this app is amazing --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
