Unethical for artists *2026-02-26, version 1.0.11* Nina requires artists to pay them $1 for every song sale. It disguises itself like bandcamp with its branding and takes advantage of artists’ creative content to make their platform look “cool” and “community oriented.” Company started with crypto/nfts and when that went south they pivoted. Still run by money hungry tech bros. ### 3/5 — Want to love this so bad *2025-12-05, version 1.0.9* Please make this app flow better >< it keeps crashing and I have issues logging in but I love this concept and the artists on here… plssss💞 ### 3/5 — I want to love this app, but… *2025-10-08, version 1.0.9* Trying to get the songs to play is like pulling teeth….and that is the whole reason I’m using this app: to listen to music. I wish the songs would play normally without any hassle, I wish there was a popup on my lockscreen with the song that’s playing, and I wish I could like individual songs and make playlists. I’ve only been using this app for a day, and these are the qualms I’ve discovered. I assume I’ll encounter more when I’ve used the app more. Overall, I am excited to try a new streaming service, and I can’t wait to listen to a new variety of music. But please please please fix these issues!!! I can’t listen to the music if I can’t….well…listen to the music. ### 3/5 — It’s cool. *2025-07-30, version 1.0.8* It won’t let me save songs or anything, so I’m worried I’ll get attached to a song and lose it to the abyss. I deleted and redownloaded and I still have the issue, so, please consider fixing this. I’m not sure how the algorithm can work well if it won’t let me favorite and- otherwise- save songs. ### 3/5 — Unnecessary data collection *2025-07-09, version 1.0.8* Want to love it! But what’s with the weird amount of data collection? ### 4/5 — fav // repeat *2025-11-28* Would love to see a song’s dedicated favorite button and repeat option on player ### 4/5 — Love, but… *2025-07-24, version 1.0.8* Seriously love everything about this app and service. However, iOS notifications and deep links into the app (i.e. from email) are consistently buggy. When I tap a link it rarely opens up the intended content, dropping me on the Home tab instead. Hoping this can be fixed. ### 4/5 — Love *2025-02-07, version 1.0.2* So awesome ### 5/5 — this changeds everything *2025-11-30, version 1.0.9* by far one of the most creative and satisfying music platforms there is. as purely a consumer of music myself, nina is like my little heaven. ### 5/5 — The Future *2025-10-17, version 1.0.9* Nina is the future of streaming. I urge everyone seriously invested in the future of music made by human beings to make the switch from the big streaming services to Nina. ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it but.. *2025-08-09, version 1.0.8* Love this app, but i cant favorite any songs. A lot of the songs im liking i either go like on soundcloud to listen on there, or have to sift thru my history to find again. Could be avoided if the favorites worked. Would also love a playlist feature! ### 5/5 — banger *2025-07-12* so niche so cool. 2025 souncloud ### 5/5 — Bestmusic *2024-11-22, version 1.0.2* Only place to find good new music without sifting thru a bunch of garbage ### 5/5 — epic platform *2024-10-18, version 1.0.2* it’s like mobile bandcamp, itunes, and soundcloud rolled into one. so cool ### 5/5 — great platform *2024-10-08, version 1.0.2* yes --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
