Area unrecognized

Sometimes the app doesn’t know that I’m at the correct location

Good times

Definitely a modern and fun take on the juke box.. all good

LETS GET IT

Nothing to say, buy whoever created this definitely started something!! 😭😭

Quality

I listen to various jukebox the ones in Applebee’s and the ones in Buffalo Wild Wings and I can honestly say other than the fact that I can skip over people in the restaurants. This is a great set up. Planet Fitness has.

Great muscle selection

It good selection music and no issue

Does not shuffle

We recently switched to this at work and it does not shuffle. We have a large playlist with a fairly even amount of Spanish and English music and it almost only
Recommends Spanish every time “on deck”. There has been times that every song is thumbs down and it just recommends more just like those songs and still plays the ones with multiple thumbs down? Seems like the only way to hear English music is to request it…I don’t understand why? Way more variety and balanced with a playlist on shuffle.

I love hijacking pop queues

We’re blasting Fountains of Wayne out here

Rockbot

Good app

Sucks

Can’t play a song more then 2 days in a row or the same artist more then 3 songs at a time. Queue list is to short only a few songs at a time.

Favorites

Love to be at the gym without any devices in my ears and able to hear my favorite songs on the speakers overhead, down side… can only play 3 at a time.

Horrible

Who who in their logical right mind would give Rockbot even a two star I work at the gym and I can’t see it given even one star I put in two songs that takes three hours to get them to play in the gym is completely empty so they must be rigging the stars because nobody in their right mind would give them more than two stars. I don’t believe they got 4.7 no way. Unless people just don’t have a brain anymore.

Holds back some requests sometimes

The system lets you request songs but frequently doesn’t play them and wants you to buy tokens which gives you the ability to promote them and then it will play them. Sneaky.

Upbeat Songs

The only songs that should be on rotation & the choices to pick from should only be upbeat songs.

Shortage of songs

Need more Punjabi songs

Let us play more music

Limits the number of songs you can add on queue. It limits the catalogs of artists.

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.
