Fix your app.

I have a bone to pick with this app ( and developers)For the most part, this app is fun. Sharing music is part of my love language and I love to introduce people to new things. Although I say all these positive there is one thing you need to fix, THE ENTIRE APP. The new update is not fun and super boring. Please bring the old rating back. Another problem I have is I usually get a notification when I get sent a song but then it mysteriously stopped notifying me?? I could be sent a song and I would look at it maybe TWO WEEKS LATER ( I also don’t check the app itself because I hate it). Third, the profile pictures were maybe my favorite part because yay! Another app to spend 2 hours choosing the perfect icon! And just like the notifications, they didn’t pop up anymore and I could change the picture it just wouldn’t pop up!! And that brings me to fourth, I thought a simple deleting the app and re downloading would work. I try to long back in, I put in my phone number and, IT. DOES. NOT. WORK. I thought I was just putting my phone number wrong but no! The app just doesn’t work. If you could maybe fix these problems or the whole app. Or maybe just delete all of it while your at it! Thanks ! :)

Love the app ! Just Some suggestions 🥰

1. If it could be possible that we could see which songs the other person has liked and disliked! I think that would be a nice and very helpful feature 😊

2. If we could pick which part of the songs we’d like to share would also be great! Like how you can pick which part of the song you want to share on instagram

Again i think the app is great and i always use it so adding these would definitely improve it 100% in my opinion

Fun to Mess Around and Connect

I really like the concept of the app! Its cool and I like sending songs that Ive been obsessed with to friends and having them send songs to me that I might reference later :) I got to reconnect with some family and hear what they like these days so I love it—I think it’d be nice to see what songs they like and dislike. I dont see the purpose of receiving the notification of like/dislike if I cant even see what they liked or disliked. Takes away from suggesting songs that I think they would like and it’d just be cool to see (hence 4 stars). But overall great app and Im gonna keep messing around with it 🙏🏼

I mean..

It’s really fun to share your music with friends, but I wish there was an option to skip the “like” “dislike”… and also when you send out multiple songs at a time, it would be nice to know which song your friend (dis)liked since it just sends the notification but not which song it’s for. Fun app though, had it for a couple days.

Great app!

Me and my friends love it! It’s a lot of fun, we use it everyday. I love the idea of it. It’s basically Tinder/Snapchat for music. I highly recommend. I only wish you could see the songs your friends disliked, and it would be cool if you could rate them on a scale from 1-5! Also sometimes when you send certain songs the app closes in on itself but tbh that’s it. It’s a great app and lots of fun!

Great Concept! but…

I love the idea of this app. i love seeing what my friends are listening to, but i wish there was a way to see which songs your friends liked. For example if you sent them multiple songs, as of right now there is no way to see which ones they liked or disliked. It would also be cool to have a comment section where you could respond to the songs your friends sent you. it would be great to hear which songs you have in common versus the ones they didn’t like as much and their reason for agreeing/disagreeing. i would love to see this implemented! Thank you for reading and i hope to see this in a future update! great app!

I love this app!

I love this app! My friend sent it to me the other day and I already love sending my friends music. This is so fun because you can see your sent songs, and I’m so glad you can send them to all your friends at once as well! I think there should be an option where you and your friends can listen to a song at the same time. But overall, great app! 🤍🤍🤍

It was good at first

I miss the old rating concept. A lot of my mutuals and i have expressed our dislike for the swiping left and right. It’s too vague because i don’t necessarily dislike a song but it’s not my favorite either. Rating was more efficient in my opinion.

Another huge thing that i greatly advise Kiwi to bring back is the option to respond! You can write messages for songs but there is no way for someone else to respond directly back to the message like before. Also, when you write a message that’s a little longer there’s no way to read the full thing because it gets cut off.

Kiwi was a really fun app before but the new updates have been very aggravating and even made some people leave the app.

It’s okay

I love this app its amazing but the thing is I cannot see which songs my friends liked and disliked. I send out multiple songs and I get reviews but it will not show me which song they reviewed which keeps me thinking 😭 which song is it? I would like if you could change that but otherwise this app is pretty cool!

But the new update makes me feel nauseous. Now it’s either bad or good but what if you like the song but kind of in the middle? There should be an option for you to skip it if you don’t want to rate it. But i have to rate it to get to the next option which angers me. I hope you change this please 🙏

suggestions!!

1. I will change back to old design where you can actually rate the songs your friends sent you. Most Kiwi users would agree.
2. I will also like if there was a section where you can see who liked or disliked your songs, instead of getting a notification.

Was great, now ruined

I just updated the app and was absolutely disappointed to see the insane change to the app. Swiping like a dating app is not fun for me or anyone I have talked to about it who also have the app. The system before was perfect: you could see a list of what you received, what you have sent, and could rate each song on a scale from 0-100 and leave comments. Now you can no longer give a rating other than “good” or “bad” which is NOT how I like to rate the music I listen to. It is not specific enough. You also can no longer leave comments, which made the experience more fun. Overall, I’m sad and I don’t know if I want to use the app anymore. It was so fun and I looked forward to sending and receiving songs every day, but now I don’t even want to get on the app. I’m upset.

Needs a small change.

I love this app. I love the concept of it. The only problem I have with it is that when I go to share it to my Snapchat, it won’t let me so I can’t share the app with my friends unless I send them a link. Now idk if this is a Snapchat problem or a Kiwi problem but it is still very upsetting.

Was great and now it is bad

I loved this app before the update. You used to be able to send each other songs and comment and rate each other’s music, it was a really nice way to bond over music and share it with friends! The new update took all of those features away, and turned it into a sort of Tinder like app where you just swipe left or right to say if you liked or disliked a song. I have since stopped using the app, and a lot of my friends have too. Please bring the old app back!!! :(

Alright so far.

I like the concept, but it’s not super practical. There’s no way to see the songs you’ve liked, so by the time I’ve swiped a few times, I’ve already forgotten the title and artist of a song I thought was good.

It’s also a little overwhelming. I think there should be a cap on how many songs you can send, or maybe it should just be limited to the one song a day like BeReal. I like BeReal because there’s enough there for me to know what my friends are up to, but since it’s one picture per user once a day, it’s not overly stimulating.

On that note, I wish there was a way to edit your notification preferences. I don’t want to be notified every single time someone shares a song, and this especially adds to the overwhelming nature of the app because people spam songs, and I’m constantly made aware of it.

New UI ruined everything

I loved this app so much and used it almost everyday to get new music from my friends and to share my songs of the day. The UI was simple and easy to navigate, but each update made the app harder to use each time.

It wasn’t really a problem until they made the app look like knock off tinder, ridding the option of rating songs on a scale and instead just gave you the option of “good” or “bad”. Besides getting rid of the best part of having a music score on your profile, the app is straight up difficult to use and ugly to look at. I stopped using it once they implemented the dating app UI.

I never write reviews for apps but I have suggested kiwi to do many of my friends and we all had fun sharing our music in an easy and now I’m so sad it unusable now. This is more of a cry for help to bring the app to its beginner stages, where it was easy to send and keep track of songs.

used to be fun until recent update

I really enjoyed using this app at first to send & receive songs from friends.. but the recent update has it now formatted like a dating app where it plays a short section of a song & then you have to swipe right or left to indicate u either liked or disliked it. You can’t even easily listen to the whole song or look at a list of all the songs your friends sent you like you could before, so whereas before it could be used to discover new music, now it just exists to rate songs superficially after listening to only a few seconds of them… really not enjoyable for me anymore. I don’t even see the point of using the app anymore if I can’t see all the songs my friends sent me.
If the developers are reading this, I understand that you guys were probably just trying to make it a more fun & streamlined experience or something, but you’ve kind of killed the appeal it used to have in the process. It used to feel like a way to connect with my friends over music & listen to new songs, now it just feels pointless. A lot of my friends who use the app have said they felt the same way, some deleted it. I would recommend bringing some of the old features back, or just reverting it to how it was before altogether.

Used to LOVE but new update ruined

Me and my friend loved sending songs to each other everyday and we loved the ranking and the ability to comment back and forth. This new update with the tinder style is fine, but it took away the part I liked the most! I wish there was more of a range of rating rather than just like or dislike. Maybe add a super-like or a super-dislike option!

Literally loved this app but now it’s been ruined!

I used to love this app but the new update is NOT IT. Please for the love of all that is holy bring back the past interface. It was so much more fun and you were able to give a more nuanced opinion on a song rather than just “like and dislike”… I’m honestly so upset that this app has become this. It has definitely lost so much of its enjoyability with the new format, and everyone I have talked with feels the same way. PLEASE BRING THE OLD INTERFACE BACK!!

The New App Update

Hi,
I’m not a huge fan of the app’s new update. The app was really nice before when you could rate a friend’s song and comment your thoughts, but now, I feel like the app has become a bit boring. Can you guys maybe revert back to the original app or maybe combine the two versions?

Thank you,
A frustrated kiwi user

New Update

Loved this app beforehand, but the new update has made it almost unusable. The like vs. dislike system isn’t accurate enough, and doesn’t account for any kind of nuance like the 0-100 system did. The removal of comments and the inability to see which of my friends liked which songs also has made the app feel less interpersonal. I’m just sending songs out into a void instead of actually interacting with my friends. I appreciate the music playing in-app, but everything else has really downgraded.
