I also would like there to be a feature that could sort out through music genres because finding new reviews that aren’t metal is excruciatingly hard ### 3/5 — Used this app for years, then randomly logged me out *2024-12-13, version 2.1.0* I have been using this app since it launched 4 years ago. It's still super active with other members! It worked great and I had no issues until today. It randomly logged me out, and won't allow me to log back in or request "forgot password". Not sure what happened but that stinks. ### 4/5 — Cool but basic *2022-08-31, version 2.1.0* It would be cool to have a favorites tab, or a "my library" tab, that you could sort through and change around like a topster. Please don't give up on her!!! ### 3/5 — Has potential but needs major fix *2022-07-18, version 2.1.0* I really like the idea of this app, and I enjoyed using it like a year ago, but I think I stopped using it because you can’t look up albums in the search bar. If the devs are reading this, PLEASE make albums searchable, and have them able to rate or add to your Krate outside of the list of recently played albums. Having to play a song enough to have it showed up in your recently played to rate or add it to my Krate is very annoying, and it should have been first priority over making users searchable. If this major oversight is fixed, this app will easily be a 4 or 5 star app, and one I will start to use often. ### 4/5 — Looking for new tunes? *2021-05-10, version 2.0.0* Cool to see what people listen to and find new stuff! Would love to have continuous scroll when looking at someone’s profile instead of just looking at one and backing out to another. ### 3/5 — Love the app so far *2021-03-23, version 2.0.0* I think it’s great and I’m excited to see what’s added. The only suggestions I have is a way to sort all the albums on your profile by different things such as your rating or when you rated it or when it came out. Also to show your rating of the album you gave it on your profile so you don’t have to click on it to see. Also being able to search for albums and rating them from the search tab would be nice. Just that and bug fixes but other than that it’s great! ### 4/5 — :) *2021-03-08, version 2.0.0* really love this concept and how clean it is so far. It’s cool how you don’t have to search up albums and just pulls from spotify, but i think it would be a nice addition if you could search for albums to review (esp for those who don’t have spotify). I’m really excited to archive my listens and find others to share it with :) ### 3/5 — Concept is cool, but needs improvement. *2020-11-29, version 1.0.0* Can’t even refresh my rate feed. Keeps giving me same songs every time. ### 3/5 — Would like to link last.fm account!! *2020-11-28, version 1.0.0* Let us link our last.fm accounts!!! ### 3/5 — Still in the works? *2020-11-25, version 1.0.0* Won’t let me edit my profile. ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2020-11-24, version 1.0.0* We need this app! Creative way to share music ### 5/5 — Sickest app; FFO: real underground tune *2020-11-24, version 1.0.0* Get the best recs from the crew. Brings me back to when being cool what about jams you rocked, not how many followers. Rad app. Sick design ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — AI SLOP POSTERS *2025-08-26, version 3.1.2* bruh why the AI preview pictures ### 1/5 — don’t limit it to spotify *2024-11-05, version 2.1.0* if you don’t bring in apple music im actually going to do something bad. ### 1/5 — Won't let me make an account so I'm reviewing your bad app here *2022-11-07, version 2.1.0* All my friends are having fun on this app, why can't I? Do you not like arab people? Or maybe it's because I'm a woman. Either way, this app is hot garbage but if you could assist me in MAKING AN ACCOUNT on your STUPID APP, maybe I would be less pessimistic ### 1/5 — Cool But Needs Work *2020-11-24, version 1.0.0* I have heard good things about this app but whenever I try to connect to my Spotify account the app freezes and then immediately takes me back to my Home Screen maybe something could be wrong with my phone or it’s the app it self ### 1/5 — I just want this app to work *2020-11-24, version 1.0.0* This really seems like an amazing idea that I wanna experience but I can’t on IOS or Android. It just doesn’t work the app crashes constantly making it unusable. I’m gonna stick around and hopefully it gets fixed. ### 1/5 — Cool idea; app doesn’t work *2020-11-23, version 1.0.0* Searching for even exact usernames yields no results, clicking on followers takes you to a blank screen, postings appear and disappear, etc. I love the idea and hope an updated version addresses these problems. ### 2/5 — Cool idea, super rough *2020-11-25, version 1.0.0* It’s a cool idea, but the app’s responsiveness leaves a lot to be desired. Everything seems sluggish or broken. Would be a lot cooler if it worked with Apple Music too. Will tentatively keep using, hope it gets cleaned up a bit. ### 2/5 — cool premise but spotify connectivity is a BIG drawback *2020-11-24, version 1.0.0* looks interesting but having it only be able to be used with spotify is a HUGE drawback for anyone who uses a different streaming service. without the option to log in via other streaming services, it would be nice if there was at least some kind of ‘manual add’ option for adding albums as a sort of workaround (or a way to add music that isn’t on spotify) ### 2/5 — Awesome idea but app needs attention *2020-11-23, version 1.0.0* Awesome app for hardcore music fans but the app is so laggy and doesn’t load anything half the time so it makes me not want to be on here. ### 3/5 — This app seems cool. I wish I could use it though. *2026-03-26, version 3.1.2* I got really excited to get started on this app but then I realized it’s only for Spotify users. As an Apple Music user, this is pretty disappointing. I hope in the future they make the app accessible to other streaming service users. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Enjoy Krate *2025-12-02, version 3.1.2* This app is super simple and I think that’s the charm of it all! I really like this for honestly personal music logging, but it’s fun to see what friends and strangers think about music too. When I emailed them about an issue with my account they were quick to reply and help. Maybe in the future yall can add more streaming platforms like apple music and qobuz so people that use them can also get on krate :p ### 5/5 — Cool idea *2024-09-20, version 2.1.0* Great fun to find people and your friend’s opinions, wish you could search by album name though. ### 5/5 — Killer App *2022-11-22, version 2.1.0* This app made me excited enough to write my first review. I’ve been on Krate since it first launched and this has been my consistent way to discover new music, discover brand new contemporary music (artist releases day-of), and playfully or seriously write reviews akin to letterboxd. The devs seem to listen to feedback that users share and update the app frequently with small, but significant changes. I think the app is still in a really great place right now— not yet fully realized it’s full potential with artist marketing, and user growth and scalability, but it will get there soon. This is one of the ‘couple’ apps that I have that I feel extremely confident will do well in the future. It’s pretty much like hanging out at the record shop and talking to the person behind the register recommending you music all day long. Get on it now and tell your friends! ### 5/5 — Very good app *2022-05-18, version 2.1.0* wow very good app. Thumbs up. Everyone go rate every Arkangel record 5 stars. Except the last one ### 5/5 — This app rocks *2021-04-29, version 2.0.0* I have more fun on this app than probably any other that I’m on. Can’t wait to see what other and features they build. ### 5/5 — Are you kidding me right now? *2021-03-03, version 2.0.0* This is the greatest app of all time ### 5/5 — Incredible app *2020-11-27, version 1.0.0* this app has showed me so many fantastic records in the short time its been out. absolutely love it. ### 5/5 — The most fun I’ve had on an app in ages *2020-11-26, version 1.0.0* Nothing but good fun to see what my friends and strangers are listening to and a great chance to share and hear new things I wouldn’t have otherwise. Thank you devs for making something awesome!! ### 5/5 — backed hard *2020-11-24, version 1.0.0* cool app made by some cool people ### 5/5 — Download it NOW *2020-11-24, version 1.0.0* A lot of fun for music lovers! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
