Music
Like being able to listen to whatever music you like
Not bad
It’s an okay app. Just wish there wasn’t a limit on requesting songs. And having more songs available to play.
My review of this app
I LOCE THIS APP I CAN PICK ANYTHING FOR EVERYONE WHILE I EAT
Bartender for Buffalo Wild Wings
I’ve been here since January and I’m always playing good music but a customers and employees sometimes I let the customers play music so it’s worth it enjoy change the vibe!!!
Ignores paid requests and current audience
Rockbot is frustrating to use. Paid song requests are often ignored, audience votes rarely seem to make a difference, and the app even blocks downvotes on songs that were not requested.
It also treats completely different songs with the same title as if they are the same track. For example, “Jump” by Van Halen and “Jump” by Kris Kross apparently count as the same song, so requesting one can prevent you from requesting the other.
The paid request system is especially restrictive. You can only request a specific song once every 24 hours, even when you are paying points to request it. Logging out also seems to remove paid requests, which makes paying for them feel even more pointless.
There is also no clear way to see how many points you actually have. I recently bought 50 points and used 6 points each on four songs, which should have left me with 26 points. Instead, when I tried to boost a fifth song, the app told me I was out of points. There is no visible balance or useful transaction history to explain where the rest went.
Now the newest problem is that Rockbot seems to randomly skip songs whenever it wants, including songs that people have paid to request. If someone is spending money or purchased points to hear a song, the app should not simply skip it without an explanation or refund.
Rockbot feels increasingly locked down, unreliable, and out of touch with the users it is supposed to serve. Paid requests should actually play, votes should matter, point balances should be transparent, and users should not lose paid songs because the system randomly decides to skip them.
Hopefully these issues get addressed, because right now it feels like Rockbot is taking money for features it does not reliably provide. At this point, I would rather pay an exorbitant amount for another pair of headphones and listen to my own music than bother with this “free” junk.

Needs larger selection of music
This app needs to be more like Touchtunes… larger song library. Also for explicit songs, have the clean versions available.
Not good
Doesnt give enough song queues and not enough songs are on there
Middddd tier
Changed song requests from 3 to 2. Don’t have time for song request upkeep with only 2 options .
won't let me into my account
pretty much as the title says. i know my password and username, but rockbot keeps saying they're wrong. when i go to 'forgot your password' it says 'oops, something went wrong' and ends there.
Greatness
Very good
It’s okay
Not enough songs
Repeat request
I can’t play the same songs from yesterday. It should only have a 12 hour non- repeat cycle.
Gym music
Great feature to have at the gym, when you want to listen to music and not wear headphones.
More options
Wish they had more song options for certain artists. Other than that. It’s cool.
Excellent idea
Really good for when
I forget my headphones
I forget my headphones
Frustrating model
Rockbot is a great idea… in theory.
In practice, whoever pays to add songs apparently becomes the DJ, music director, and dictator of the gym. Nothing like trying to work out while being held hostage by someone else’s playlist.
I’ve been listening to Gloria Estefan and Phil Collins at the gym because apparently someone decided we’re all attending an ’80s nostalgia convention. Nothing against Gloria or Phil, but I didn’t sign up for that.
At least let non-paying users pick more than TWO songs. And maybe teach the app to learn the preferences of the people actually using it instead of constantly pushing its own playlist.
The concept is good. The execution is terrible.
I’m giving Rockbot one last chance before uninstalling. If I hear “Easy Lover” one more time, we’re done.

RACIST!!! I notice the disrespect and the blockage of certain genres!!!
Why do you have certain genres blocked like y’all are really getting carried away with your racism
Average
Was so much better a few years ago, now you are limited to the frequency of song plays- even when you are the only one playing anything in the building
Meh
Some of my favorite artists aren’t available to play, and songs
A breath of fresh air
I’m glad there’s finally something that allows us to hear what we want instead of terrible music like dance and Drake. I just wish there wasn’t a limit on the amount of songs you select and when they get played.
