### 3/5 — My review

*2026-08-27, version 3.6.5*

It’s setup so that you can only select 1 song an hour 🤷🏽‍♀️

### 2/5 — Music

*2026-08-18, version 3.6.5*

Need more music by r and b artists and rappers

### 4/5 — Needs more dancehall!

*2026-08-17, version 3.6.5*

Lots of clean/edited dancehall but missing so many more talented artists from the genre especially newer music

### 3/5 — Suggestion system is too vague.

*2026-08-15, version 3.6.5*

Awesome app, but the venue didn’t allow the majority of my favorite songs. I have sent a suggestion to the venue to allow them, but I am uncertain how the suggestions get sent. As of now I believe that they don’t get a notification at all for suggestions.

### 3/5 — Why can’t I play same artist a few times

*2026-08-13, version 3.6.5*

The app stops me some play the same artist but different songs because I played the same artist too many times. And I would I just request it from a new day.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t switch levels

*2026-08-13, version 3.6.5*

Been on level 10 for 2 years now and it won’t change. Whether you delete the app or sign out or not

### 2/5 — Planet fitness

*2026-08-08, version 3.6.5*

Keep blocking too many songs for being too long feel like they should not ban them unless they are explicit we get but man every song longer then 3 min is a no

### 3/5 — Could be improved

*2026-08-06, version 3.6.5*

The system request a lot of data but does not use a lot of the data for improving user experience.

### 4/5 — Decide your fate

*2026-08-01, version 3.6.5*

When I discovered Rock bot my work outs were less stressful . I couldn’t handle the music and asked the front desk to change it, they directed me to Rock Bot and I am now my own DJ kayota 🌀🌟🍾🌺🌎pop the adaptogens!!!

### 5/5 — Great for neighborhood pool

*2026-07-31, version 3.6.5*

My HOA has chosen Rockbot for our music app.  Works wonders in allowing a democratic decision, huge selection, and some fun gamification that could otherwise be simple routine.  I dislike and downright disagree that bot suggestions should play ahead of human user requests.  And especially after even ling durations of the and four down votes (not requested by a human and zero upvotes). That’s a fail.  Remove it.

### 5/5 — recommended I love it

*2026-07-31, version 3.6.5*

10/10

### 5/5 — Good music

*2026-07-30, version 3.6.5*

I’ve enjoyed using this app at Planet Fitness. The only downside is a couple songs get cut out short. Which is a big no to cut off a song like that hopefully they can fix it. Otherwise it’s a lot at the gym

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-08-25, version 3.6.5*

You guys remove so many songs that don’t have any curse words, and then when I do request a song it takes so long to be added. You guys need to add a better variety of music, not just the same old stuff. Also it’s seems a little odd that you guys remove a lot of rap songs (even ones with no curse words)

### 1/5 — limited music selection

*2026-08-22, version 3.6.5*

When I request music after my 3 songs have played it takes forever to play my music (30-40min) even when no one else has requested any music. The music selection is also very limited, especially for spanish songs. They only have a bunch of rock punk music to choose from. I try to request a song that is not inappropriate at all but it doesnt have it on there. The whole point of this app is to play music of our choosing. The music that rockbot plays sounds very AI generated😭

### 1/5 — Cant listen to babystaydown, nine vicious, or pradabagshawty

*2026-08-20, version 3.6.5*

Wouldn’t recommend

### 1/5 — A brand new way to discriminate!

*2026-08-19, version 3.6.5*

This app sucks. It’s incredibly discriminatory. If you don’t like dance/disco or pop, you’ll never hear your songs come on. It will automatically move your songs down on the priority queue and by the time your song comes on, you’ve already left. This is garbage and just another way to force people into a pigeon hole.

### 1/5 — Poor selection

*2026-08-18, version 3.6.5*

Very biased towards country music. No Morgan Wallen, Ella Langley, Cole Swindell, Riley Green.

### 1/5 — It’s alright, but..

*2026-08-14, version 3.6.5*

I want to be able to hear the music before playing to make sure it’s the right one..

### 1/5 — Poor music selection

*2026-08-14, version 3.6.5*

Disappointed when my gym introduced this due to lack of artists

### 1/5 — Región Mexicana

*2026-07-28, version 3.6.5*

Their options for regional Mexican music is trash.

### 1/5 — Music options

*2026-07-12, version 3.6.5*

All songs need to be unlocked

### 1/5 — Won’t play freak on a leash

*2026-07-12, version 3.6.5*

Korn freak on a leash is an available song to play but the algorithm keeps deleting it from the playlist. I thought this was America.

### 5/5 — I played Thuderstruck at 9:30 in the morning

*2026-08-28, version 3.6.5*

I played Thunderstruck at 9:30 in the morning

### 5/5 — Selection of songs

*2026-08-25, version 3.6.5*

This app is a great way to discover and enjoy music while you’re at restaurants, arcades, stores, and other places. You can easily request songs you like from the available music selection and add them to the queue. It’s a fun and convenient way to have more of a say in what music gets played wherever you are!

### 5/5 — Go dj

*2026-08-20, version 3.6.5*

I was today years old when I realized I could be the dj

### 5/5 — I’m a DJ!

*2026-08-18, version 3.6.5*

Love the ability to pick out songs to work out to! It’s like going to the local diner or pub and picking songs at the jukebox! Love it!!

### 5/5 — Phenomenal

*2026-08-17, version 3.6.5*

Phenomenal

### 5/5 — Music

*2026-08-16, version 3.6.5*

Love it

### 5/5 — The Lord and the workout

*2026-08-16, version 3.6.5*

It’s awesome to work here on a Sunday morning and play some worship and watch people be strengthened spiritually, and physically and leave with a smile on their face

### 5/5 — More songs to be added

*2026-08-14, version 3.6.5*

More songs needs to be added. Like old school

### 5/5 — Great team up

*2026-08-04, version 3.6.5*

Definitely worth the planet fitness deal

### 5/5 — Makes the gym experience

*2026-08-03, version 3.6.5*

Music brings joy during the sacrifice of exercise
