Best App Ever!!!!

Some improvements needed

The app is brilliant, the artists are fantastic and it’s all free. I think some improvements could be made for ease of use. Firstly, quite often when an artist posts they have a whole series of the same videos however, these aren’t always grouped together. If you go to the artists page you then have to scroll through thousands of videos to find what you need. Would be great to group them and also have a function within each artist so you could search for a particular video. Secondly, it would be great to have a section where you can leave comments on videos. I’d also love to tag artists on socials but it’s quite hard to find them.
