Sounds bad
Their customer service doesn’t respond when asked about it. (I had to use the writers email to contact them because they don’t have a clear support area to contact them) But these sound like 128kbps mp3. It’s hard to enjoy when they sound this bad honestly. Isn’t there a way you can use the same quality stream of at least Spotify?

Revised…get app to work properly
Here’s a revised review. I was able to get the app to work and it was somewhat my error. My phone was connected to a VPN set for Mexico. I’m assuming that was the problem because that’s the only thing I changed before the app started working.
I would give it more stars, however, the lack of titles and more familiar artists is a big limitation. Not a lot of hit material to choose from.
——————————————
I’m not sure what the problem is and maybe someone can a solution. Once at the opening splash screen “kord“ it quickly goes to a banner at the top of the page that says “oops something is not right.” At that point, the app is basically frozen because there’s nowhere to escape out of the app. I am registered.

Great Concept, Ok Execution
See, this is actually a great idea. It’s a streaming service for those who want to dig deeper essentially. Big problem though, the audio is too low quality. It distracts away from the whole idea when everything sounds like the music I stuffed onto my iPod 15 years ago.

KORD knows their audience
This is an app made for hardcore music fans by hardcore music fans and it shows! So far they’ve boasted a great catalog of 150+ songs in what seems to be under a year - including artists I never thought I’d see stems for (Crowded House, Gary Numan, etc). Not to mention the attention to detail with including liner note details and biographies on the people who made these songs what they are. I pray more people find out about this amazing app, especially given how customer oriented the creators are going by my interactions with them through their subreddit. Long live KORD!

Great service, …horrible sound quality
The sound quality of the stems is not good. The platform and execution is very nice and so far I really like the selection of artists but it’s such a shame that the bitrate is so low, …it’s not a good sign when you actually hear the lossy compression, …it should be almost transparent & this is FAR from that.

Beginner!
As a newbie trying to learn the guitar this app is priceless. I can jam with the virtual band and learn to keep time in real time! Keep the the great work!! Let’s jam!! 🤘🏽🤘🏽🙏🏻
Finally hearing music in 3 dimensions
It was hard to understand how imperfection could sounds so perfect. It was Marvin Gaye?! Why would he not have everything perfect?
On my first listen with KORD I was able to hear it to believe it.
I’m a huge fan of Marvin Gaye and have heard What’s Going On many times over the years. He’s such an incredible singer and I always wondered how he crafted such a full sound.
When I started to use KORD I listened to the song and slowly started to peel away the layers. That’s where the surprise came in. The background vocals were occasionally pitchy?!?!
It eas u expected but what was even more unexpected what’s when you put them in the full mix, it was perfect.
As a musician it taught me a lesson about the beauty of imperfections and my mixes now are influenced by that.
What I love about this app is that lets me discover music anew. It let’s me appreciate the pieces of each song and then put it back together again. 10/10

KORD app is fun, and bubbly
Great idea. Uneven execution. I decided it’s try it for a month. It needs work. When you open it, whether or not you’re already a subscriber, you get the same screen. On that screen it offers a 7 day free trial. It’s not clear what to do if you’re already a subscriber. You have to scroll down until you find artists or eras you want to explore, click on it, and it will play what you selected. There is an info icon in the upper corner that pops up at this point, clicking on that will show if you’re a subscriber. It shows an option to rate and leave a review. That link does not work. I’m leaving this on the APP store website.
Then there are other bugs. I once got a total blank white screen when I tried to play “The Gambler.” Had to close the app and restart to get it back. Then clicking on the Gambler, there was no section that showed the various vocals and instruments to turn off/isolate. It was only the released version of the song. Hey, if I wanted to just listen to it, I have a lot more convenient ways to do that. Other songs did show the parts broken down.
Lastly, the library selection is very limited. Not many songs. Presumably they will populate it with a more, but not sure I’m going to renew while waiting for that at $8 per month.

A must have for music lovers! I find myself read about music like never before; and hear music like never before!
