A great app ruined for greed

Really? You guys can’t be stupid enough not to realize how many artists are poor, not only that, without artists you wouldn’t exist so have more respect for us. I can’t even upload a full length song without getting a monthly bill? I don’t make money from your site and you neutered yourselves so less people even use it for a listening platform. Most are artists there for themselves.

This was a good site years ago. Now app and site lack

What a horribly written app. Equal to the quality ReverbNation is striving for these days. Bottom of the pile. And having to log in every time is ignorant. And they keep losing track of your passwords… over and over.

SoundCloud is better in all ways.

If there are any people at ReverbNation they are in kindergarten or on drugs…bad drugs.

And band lab the master idiots behind as an organization is a joke as is their site for cakewalk and sonar.

No one there, if there is anyone there has moved past cup holding with their limited intelligence. And their prices are a joke on monumental proportions.

THEY OFFER NOTHING OF ANY VALUE EXCEPT A FREE PLATFORM FOR LOW QUALITY FILES

SOUNDCLOUD is the way to go;

these BANDLAB people should go dig holes on the desert they would add more value as life forms.

AVOID THIS AT ALL COSTS. USE FREE BUT DON’T GIVE THEM A CENT

Getting annoying now

This app is starting to get wack now. Won't even let me upload my new song which is the same format as the others. There's nothing wrong with my track. I hate this app now along with the stupid iphone

Site is great! App is broken

Not sure if it’s just me but I can barely use the app. Notifications don’t get marked as read when I open them, regardless of how many characters are in posts, I still get an error message saying I’m exceeding 140 characters, and scheduling a show on the app is almost impossible to put in the correct info where it actually needs to go.

I can’t get the app to landscape view on my IPad

This is fairly useless when using the iPad and its normal position with keep pad and in every day use. If it is possible to change your settings somewhere, I can’t find it. Kind of defeats using it when showing it to people. And when demonstrating for potential expanding interest.

Why? Why can’t you get it right? Awful

So you had a bug that would put your typing below line of sight. You said you fixed it. Still does it. Next, doesn’t populate venues. Third, double tap period doesn’t work. And worst? You manage to get past all that and create an event. When you save it hangs forever with “saving...” at the top. And it doesn’t save. Ever. Can’t you guys get it right? It’s a basic app. Nothing complicated. Why is it so hard to make an app that works???? I’m going to find another app that actually works.

Thanks for your feedback! We've confirmed the bug for show details entry and have sent it over to the dev team so they can address it. Keep an eye out for a new version that incorporates the fix. I've forwarded your request for easier account switching to the dev team. Please continue to send us feedback and if its easier, you can email us directly using the feedback option in the menu on the dashboard tab in the app.

Adding songs is a frustrating mess since your “upgrade” last year...

The other version of Reverbnation was much better. Now it is extremely difficult now to upload a song using dropbox. It used to be so simple and it used to actually WORK every time. Since you made this new version, I have basically given up trying to add songs. Please fix you app! or, even better, just go back to the previous app version! It looked better and every time I saved a song to Dropbox, I could add it to my Reverbnation content. I just tried to do the process with new song and it just won’t post it. Please fix you app or allow us to use the previous one.

5 Star Worthy, but major flaw...

If you guys could fix this soon it would be great!

So I’ve realized when streaming it has bug glitches throughout the streaming process and it’s been kind of a pain.

Like, when I checked (how my audience hears my projects) it’s been so continuous it’s noteworthy and was hoping you could send an update to make the streaming process more flossed. An [update] to fix that small yet nagging flaw would maximize my enjoyment! I didn’t want to have to switch platforms over something so small but it is a sore.

Hope to hear back from you, thanks!

Lifelong fan

Seriously, where do I?........ I’m a lifetimer of RN. Seriously this app (and service) is so underrated! Every time I login I feel a sense of nostalgia. I have grown up with revernation. All I got to say is thank you, I’m number 2 in songwriting in Memphis TN and I about to be number 1. Since I was a teen y’all have helped me tremendously. You have Encouraged me and given me the resources to be heard, as well as how user friendly the app is. I could say so much. Seriously though, fires on all cylinders, I cannot thank you enough RN. Thanks for the constant encouragement and support. It keep me going! Much love and god vibes

Hmmm please suggest to developers.

I do NOT like the vertical only view....I hardly ever use my tablet that way. Very awkward. Also how can I export my shows to my web site.....why haven’t we fixed that Yet! Wish I could go back to the version I had!

Only reason I’m giving 3 stars.

I just received an email from RN saying the app is Now Better, one thing it lists that “makes it better” is you can now submit to opportunities from the app/phone. I have Never been able to do this as when you hit submit it says “Song upload not available on mobile devices”.

Fix that and I’ll update my review.

Other than that it’s a nice app although I feel RN is being neglected by many artist. I still have a decent fan base using the platform, just doesn’t get the traffic it used to.

Updated 6-6-18
I am now able to upload for opportunities via mobile. Therefore my only complaint was resolved. I thank the team for making this happen. Cheers

Response from developer

We're sorry you are having issues using the app. For opportunities, you can upload the song in the app before you submit, and then simply pick your song by tapping the song name (it doesn't look like you can tap it due to a bug we are looking into, but you can!). If you don't want the uploaded song to appear on your profile, simply set the access to "RPK only".

Demographics cut short

It’s really unfortunate that the demographic breakdown is not available on the Artist app as it was before. It makes it just a tad bit more difficult for artist who don’t have a PC or Laptop to see the most important information regarding their music career!

I can't change the order of songs and videos

I can't change the order of our songs and videos. The other app had that option.

Don’t fix what isn’t broken...

The calendar (shows) feature was way easier to navigate before the update and now doesn’t even say the day (ie: Monday, Tuesday, etc). For someone who plays 4-6 times a week most weeks, it’s easier to know the actual day, and you have to click through a few extra things to get there now. It looks nice but so did the previous few years. I have to use a calendar app to figure out what day these gigs are on now.

Thanks for your feedback! We've addressed this in our upcoming release, 4.1.2. It should be available soon.

Overall decent upgrade with v4.0.5, but...

The overall UI re-design is pretty nice. I’m able to quickly update various aspects of my Reverbnation artist page, check stats etc. I gave it 3 stars as the show entry changed a bit from prior releases where you had more flexibility to add a non-traditional show with a customized name along with a location. Now you enter a name or location and you are forced to select any found results from a list that is internally generated and you can’t change the text of the name of the venue.

I can understand the simplification this was attempting to accomplish, but really prefer to have the prior flexibility. Also, shows entered under the old way and even newer ones cannot be edited. They must be deleted and reentered. Hopefully, the flexibility of the older show entry can be put back as I use this info in a widget to display in other web contexts so I can nicely maintain my show list in one place.

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback! You are correct, the intent was to make adding shows easier. You can enter a manual address into the search field, even if it is not a traditional music venue. We will certainly look at ways we can add flexibility while keeping the interface simple and easy to use. Please continue to send us feedback, you can email us directly at support@reverbnation.com.

Can now access credit account through app!

Woot! Thanks I've been waiting a long time for this feature. Now I can see how much money I have in my account and transfer it to PayPal from within the app. Four stars.

Horrible, horrible app

Do not download. Seriously the worst and most stupid app I’ve ever come across. When I sign in on my pc it only asks for user name and password so it’s already saved. Then I tried downloading this horrendous, flawed app and it asks for your email and password. I used my email and password from website and it says my password needs to be 8 characters long. My password isn’t 8 characters long and I log in everyday on website. Oh and I can’t even share anything on twitter because your technology can’t understand it. Please fire who is ever in charge.
