### 5/5 — Nice!

*2026-02-09*

The app works as advertised so I won’t go into that.

What I’m more impressed by is that it doesn’t collect egregious amounts of user data like every other social media platform.

### 5/5 — Join the revolution or get lost in the shuffle!

*2025-11-10*

While it’s still early, RITMO has a great UI, pretty amazing upload speeds, and the audio player rivals the best in the biz.. not an understatement! Social/monetization components are just icing on the cake at this point. It has a cozy atmosphere lacking in similar apps. From the get go you can clearly see that time and care were placed in the finer details and it’s regularly being updated to boot. Hardly know what more to ask for? I genuinely wish I could give it more stars, I’m already a big fan. Just see for yourself no harm no foul, hope to see you there!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much, glad to have you! I'm working hard every week to push out new fixes and features!

### 5/5 — New social music streaming app!!

*2025-11-04*

New social music streaming app!! You can upload your original music, share spotify link, send cheers, and more!!!
