### 5/5 — Fun creative outlet

*2025-03-17*

I’ve had a blast using Rodeo. It’s been really fun discovering new creators, supporting them financially, and making money all while exploring my creative side (both as an iPad illustrator and a collector). Would definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys feeling creative!

### 5/5 — Lots of fun

Love building my collection on rodeo! So much good art

### 5/5 — My favorite new social app!

### 1/5 — Stole Money

*2025-11-27*

I tried to purchase site credits. They charged me through Apple Pay. Credits never arrived and then they “Moderated” and froze my account.

### 1/5 — SAY NO TO GEN AI

*2025-10-01*

This app is FLOODED with ai slop and the creators keep pushing “ai artists” on their TikTok page, it’s sooo gross. Gen ai has no place in creative spaces! It is already destroying communities and environments, taking jobs from real human artists and for what??? Derivative, nonsensical slop??? If you couldn’t be bothered to actually develop skills and ideas to create a piece why should I be bothered to look at it, let alone pay for it??? This app claiming to want to help artists connect and get work while also promoting and sheltering Gen AI garbage and its makers is so embarrassing and ridiculous. Say NO to Gen Ai and say NO to this app.

### 1/5 — Random account deletion

*2025-09-18*

My account was randomly deleted with no reason or email as to why. All of my posts and collections gone. Logging in with my credentials brings me to create a new account. Email as well.

### 1/5 — Been asking around for someone to make an app like this but nope its flooded with ai

*2025-06-14*

Generative ai makes it a bit  pointless now, im just waiting for someone to make an app primarily for art/animation content creators that also bans ai

Like, I want to see actual creators and artists make stuff, im tired of low effort ai art polluting every app, using all the hashtags and taking over the feeds.

They wont fix/remove it because it adds more content to their platform making it seem more active.

Like, I want to see actual creatord and artists make stuff, im tired of ai art polluting every app, using all the hashtags and taking over the feeds

To be fair, its 5 stars since the concept is good and my feed seems to not have much ai right now.  And I do want this app to suceed hopefully it can be filtered out completely.
 a positive review originally but its already flooded with ai and im over it

### 1/5 — 👎👎👎

*2025-03-21, version 1.0*

you have to pay for images? and then you take 50% fees from that money? good luck with that

### 2/5 — Moderated After Attempting to Purchase Coin

*2025-10-29*

I recently downloaded Rodeo Club, created an account, and connected everything successfully for. This was my first time using the app. 

I attempted to purchase a small amount of Rodeo Coins through Apple Pay, and my CC was charged, but the transaction never completed. A loading spinner appeared with the message “this will take a few seconds,” and it never finished processing. After closing and reopening the wallet, it still showed “spending” and “waiting for tokens.” I waited several minutes, restarted the app, and then found that my account had been moderated! My profile is moderated and I can’t do anything with it!

I have not posted or interacted with any content beyond what it made do in the first 5 minutes of set up, I only attempted a coin purchase.

I have reached out to support via email and X, but so far no response for multiple days. 

I was genuinely interested in exploring the app and its features, but at this point I am unable to use it in any way.

### 2/5 — I’m so confused

*2025-04-28, version 2.0.2*

This app looks like Instagram but it’s different, there are a lot of thing in it that there is no explanation for them, I don’t even know how to share my profile, the app needs more work.

### 2/5 — Can’t connect wallet

*2025-03-25*

Onboarding is broken won’t connect needs better iOS development.

### 2/5 — Missing settings. Rodeo earns

*2025-03-21*

Missing settings- dark, 1 on 1 chat. 

Rodeo takes a 50% fee from each item you sell instead of charging a fee up front. This way they can keep taking. 

They also do a poor job in promoting small accounts that make great art but don’t have a large following. They bring in known artists and promote them(gaining 50% of their sales). 

Great place to learn the basics. But they quietly take your money

*2025-05-13, version 2.0.10*

rodeo makes collecting easy & fun :)

A great platform to share and collect unique artworks from different genres.

### 5/5 — Love ❤️

*2025-03-24, version 1.1*

Collecting is fun!

### 5/5 — Rodeo brings me joy

*2025-03-21*

Beautifully designed and easy to use, I love the daily art I discover on Rodeo! It also personally inspires me to create and offers a low stakes way for me to share my creativity with the world 🤩

### 5/5 — I love scrolling again!

*2025-03-18*

Rodeo is one of the only social apps that doesn’t immediately drain my soul. Posting feels good, and collecting is fun and rewarding, because you’re supporting likeminded creative people. The other day, a creator I had just discovered DM’d me, thanking me for my support. Can’t remember the last time anyone on social media did that! 🫶

### 5/5 — Fun.

*2025-03-17, version 0.1*

App is awesome. Discovered loads of great creatives on there. And I’m making money just by posting my art.

### 5/5 — Cool way to discover creators and build a collection

*2025-03-17*

I collect a lot of physical items from creators that I like and Rodeo is the first time I feel like I can do that online in a super easy way. The quality of creators is great and I can see what other people are collecting so finding new creators is much easier to do compared to other apps.
