### 3/5 — Live stream sound incorrectly tied to ringer

*2025-03-29*

The only way you can hear sound during the live stream events is to unmute your phone ringer.

### 3/5 — Rainbow review

*2025-03-02*

It’s glitchy sometime and I was trying to watch my face and it pulled up the dance that went after me but other than that it’s great.

### 2/5 — Live view

*2025-02-22*

The live view tab doesn’t work so you can’t watch it live

### 4/5 — molly

*2024-05-05, version 1.2.1*

wish they had video livestream but app itself is good

### 4/5 — Love it!

*2024-02-17*

I love this app and it so easy not to carry so much stuff at once! And it’s so easy to use and it cost no money at all

### 4/5 — Great way to track performances

*2023-01-23*

It needs more info like in the website. My reco would be to incorporate all functionally of the website in the app, and have auto refresh so we know the flow of the performances. Also would like a live stream. Thanks!

### 2/5 — App Not Convenient

*2022-04-10*

Compared to other dance competition apps that I have seen the schedule function needs a major overhaul.

### 3/5 — We need to talk

*2019-07-05, version 1.0.7*

Ok it’s good in all but I would like it to show all the mess ups because for example colors of the wind pls!

### 3/5 — Wish all tabs were updated.

*2019-02-16*

Restaurants nearby, results.  Would be nice to customize a tab with just the dances I needed to keep track of.

### 4/5 — Good info. Just needs some fixes

*2018-02-15*

I like that I can see all of the events & times. I agree with another reviewer that users shouldn’t have to log off/on to refresh  and so on. It’s helpful in that I don’t have to carry around paper schedules, but being more user friendly would make this app even better! 💃

### 2/5 — It's ok

*2017-05-14, version 1.0.4*

I was nice having the complete line up the day before but our competition never updated who was on stage.

### 3/5 — Not the best, not the worst

*2017-04-01*

It would be nice if you didn't have to exit in order to refresh the current dance on stage. It would be nice if they followed the actual schedule instead of skipping around, it took too long to keep up with.  You should be able to select the dances you want to see and it alerts you so many dances before it comes to the stage.

### 4/5 — Rainbow Love

*2016-07-04, version 1.0.2*

This app is awesome. So helpful to know if they are ahead. When you go to check what number they are on and go to the schedule, it would be nice if it would take you to the parrot the schedule they are at so you don't have to scroll through so much once they are further into the competition. Otherwise awesome app.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Garbage app

*2026-01-17*

The new update is absolute dog water trash. You scroll through the lineup then scroll back and the app goes blank. Rendering the schedule useless. Fix your doody app

### 1/5 — Having issues

*2023-04-21*

I’ve been logged in for a couple of years now, and all of a sudden I am no longer logged in, I can’t see my parent account, I can’t see my dancer or anything that has to do with her. I tried deleting the app, and re-installing and there just isn’t a place to login to your parent account. If asked others in our group if they were having issues and some are having the same issues as me. 
I can login to my account using a web browser but the app is supposed to make my life easier and it’s not doing that.

### 1/5 — Ads? Really?

*2022-04-26, version 1.1.2*

Do studios not pay enough that you could manage to not put random adds in the app?

### 1/5 — Why not android

*2022-03-25, version 1.1.2*

Not compatible with android. Apple only.
No bueno

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2022-02-27*

This all looks great but our studio was not on the list and the schedule isn’t up to date so missing acts. Does not tell you which act is on either. I am certain bugs need to be worked out but was excited and than disappointed since it didn’t work.

### 1/5 — no

*2022-02-11, version 1.1.2*

no livestream

### 1/5 — Shuts down

*2021-04-10, version 1.1.2*

The app used to be great. Now it shuts down as soon as you open a video from results.

### 1/5 — Good to see your dates and schedule but that’s it

*2021-03-08*

Useful to see your dates and the lineup of acts. Nothing else worked at all / never showed which act was on , the food nearby never showed anything , no photos . Also would have been nice to access the livestream from the app but ... you guessed it : NOPE.

### 1/5 — It won’t work?

*2019-02-07*

As a dancer myself, I found this app and thought it was helpful since we had only gotten one schedule from our studio and I wanted to know if I was the first dance, or who was before me. But when I tried to open the competition, the app crashed. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, but nothing fixed it. If anyone can help, please tell me.

### 1/5 — Super buggy

*2018-03-24, version 1.0.7*

Didn’t work for me at all.

### 5/5 — KAR

*2024-04-16*

I’ve been coming to KAR almost since your beginning, somewhere around 30 years. I think in many ways you are absolutely tops. I really like printed programs. I’m 85 so I have to keep getting glasses out to read my phone. I would also prefer you not run an hour ahead. So many times other friends and relatives don’t make it. One other small thing. The announcer ALWAYS talks SO FAST, it is very difficult to hear. 

Now for some accolades. The kids love the way you play their music when they win. They love having the banners to hold up. They always want to come there. I personally think overall you have done an amazing job. I was happy to see them honoring you at DMA a couple years ago……..

PS. We’ve had 4 NYC Rockettes who all competed with KAR.

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2024-02-09*

I got this app to keep track of where they were in dances at my competition, it worked so well and was so accurate! I’m so glad I got the app or I would of had missed my dance! The app is amazing and I would really recommend it to anyone that is going to the rainbow competition.

### 5/5 — so convenient

*2023-05-11*

love that you can see results of each studios performances and one minute clips of the dance but auto refresh would be helpful but love

### 5/5 — Just what I needed

*2023-04-27*

Easy to check for dance competition

### 5/5 — Covers all the bases

*2019-02-16*

Great app! It covers all the bases. Everything we need to know to attend competition

### 5/5 — Dance

*2017-04-23, version 1.0.4*

Hi

### 5/5 — Rainbow

*2016-06-25, version 1.0.2*

I love rainbow!!!!!! Dance is the best thing ever!!

### 5/5 — Rainbow

*2016-01-29, version 1.0.1*

Awesome Competition!

### 5/5 — Great ap

*2015-07-02, version 1.0.1*

The only improvement I'd make is getting rid of the white spot with the number in it. It's very distracting when trying to scroll down.

### 4/5 — Great app- but stage order keeps blacking out

*2026-01-31*

Only thing stopping from five stars is the stage order for my studio and for all, keeps blacking out when scrolling down.
Video quality great.
Otherwise great app
