And now you have to be part of crypto currency wallet shenanigans to get anything. I don’t know about anyone else but I’m out on that. Used to be fun for a few bucks. Now you can only win prizes for being the top investor in mostly meh songs. Going by the current top ten - if you’re not just working the system… and you REALLY think more than a hundred new songs here are worth showing to people…I don’t think I can help you. Does remind me of some cool old songs I’ve forgotten sometimes to be fair. Hundreds of songs in day or few tho? Come on. That one real humans would have to spending all day long maybe and the app is not THAT good. Still okay for a better than Instagram amusement. ### 5/5 — Polo *2025-03-06* Great App For helping finding the right vibe when no one can’t! ### 3/5 — If you really want to “invest” in most songs… *2024-11-21* Apparently fresh review from IPhone This app has gone through a LOT of changes.

This app is so rad! I just wish they’d play the songs longer at least like a minute and a half. *this is not an actual income it was an exaggeration to get out my fustration for the greed & selfishness of David Ek the CEO of Spotify ### 3/5 — Imperfect but fun sometimes? *2024-08-09* UPDATE TO UPDATE MAJOR EDIT 2024 since this app has come a long way and people tell lies or don’t update. You guys have your issues but you should really call out people who give straight bad info. - - Skim ahead for regular review and/or indulge a long correction HERE: < > I came back to trying the update after leaving it for a while and saw a review that said the new coin system requires you to have a 100 coins to cash out, takes too long and only gives a few dollars. Thought I test the theory since I find it wastes less time than instagram or twitter frankly. When I’m in the mood for it. - - Since guy likes math he should check it or update because if this ever was true it’s not at this time. NOW they don’t unfortunately use Venmo, they use PayPal. —- OKAY, I guess they change this a lot which is confusing and with the time PayPal takes I would have preferred staying with Venmo. Should have cashed out when it was 10 for $1, now it’s 40 for $2. It works tho! It might have taken me a month or less during bus trips. Still only 40 coins to cash out. For now. - - - - - - REGULAR REVIEW of the app itself: I mean don’t spend all your spare time with it, it’s a not a side gig just a way to see if there’s anything new out there and get money. Spoilers - not new within the past few years as I see it but you might find some cool bands that started in the past ten years you might like to discover. Also older bands, lots of older music. If the connection works, that’s a more legitimate complaint. Devs you really got to figure out your servers or whatever since I can watch videos elsewhere just fine when your app doesn’t load. I’d generously say 50/50 it works. —- - - Update to update as of 2022 - since people are rating this still, plus it looks like I didn’t mention I figured out getting the Venmo payments. My friend did it too, that works fine. It’s a pittance but if you find it fun why not? There may be a learning curve here I guess…it is still kinda clunky so understandable confusion. It is what it is, don’t do it if it becomes work. — - Update July 11 2021: App is now a bit cleaner. At level 17 still don’t have any matches with others on the app. Still no access to likes, only superlikes,(which basically makes you a private you tube list FYI)After a month I did finally start finding new within the past five years artists I hadn’t heard of before. - - This seems like a fun concept and it still kind of is but it also seems broken. ### 3/5 — Imperfect but fun sometimes? *2024-08-03* UPDATE TO UPDATE MAJOR EDIT 2024 since this app has come a long way and people tell lies or don’t update.

NOW they don’t unfortunately use Venmo, they use PayPal and it’s 10 COINS equals 1 DOLLAR. I believe, that equals 100 coins to 10 DOLLARS. A few equals no more than five in my world. Conversions elsewhere? I dunno but it might have taken me a month or less during bus trips. I would prefer to actually be able to cash out more than a dollar at a time. I have all but the latest version maybe this fixes that. Also have not fully tested the PayPal requesting, will update review if for some reason it doesn’t work. - - - REGULAR REVIEW of the app itself: I mean don’t spend all your spare time with it, it’s a not a side gig just a way to see if there’s anything new out there and get money.

So disappointing but has great potential. ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2024-06-03* I enjoyed discovering new songs and see how good I am at finding the best songs ### 1/5 — Review of Piki *2024-05-30* Think the app is the fantastic idea, but there are some holes in it that could be fixed very easily. My name is Jim Martin . I’ve been studying music for the last 30 years. I have several hundred songs and I’ve never released one. The only reason being life has gotten away from me and the times that I had a chance to do something with the complete perfection that I needed to release my music somebody died. I had a chance to sign with Dave at Arista records time and then a grip of minutes later capitol records. if you have any questions, I have several different ideas of how you could really make this app complete. My phone number is 360-784-3369. Shoot me a text and then then I’ll call you back. I just don’t from strangers lol so if I know it’s you I will pick up. This is a great idea and it could really come to fruition and one free tidbit that I would extend to you for free to be redundant. It’s very important that wish the house and dance music you gotta be able to hear the drop, there’s no way that somebody can write a song without hearing the drop so the only way I can tolerate listening to more dance music on this channel is if unable to hear the drop even if it’s played first you gotta hear that to have any idea of what kind of a song it can be anyways, peace, and light!!!!! ## Frequently asked questions about Piki ### What does Piki do?
