### 4/5 — Good But Could Be Better

*2026-08-25*

It’s the Tinder version of music discovery & building playlists. I like the concept but one of the things I wish is it has the option to select the music platform to discover music on. (Ie: Apple Music, Deezer, Tidal, Napster or Amazon Music) The reason being for an Artist especially an Independent Artist other platforms have a higher pay rate for each song compared to Spotify. As I write this review Spotify has the lowest pay rate of $3-$5 per 1,000 streams whereas Apple Music is double at $6-$10 per 1,000 streams. Tidal has the highest rate of $12-$15 per 1,000 streams. This helps the artist of which platform to promote to their fans first & for the die hard fans who like to support their favorite artists. Also not everyone who uses the app use Spotify but wish to create a playlist on another platform they regularity use. I personally use Apple Music over other platforms.
I would also like to see a refresh artist option in the app. It takes awhile like 2 or more weeks for a favorite artist new music appear on the app instead of the day or even 2 days of their new single or album release to preview.
Add these options it’ll be a 5 star app.

### 3/5 — Overheats my phone

*2026-03-10*

It’s fun and a cool concept but it overheats my phone really badly

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, we are working on improving this asap! Glad you are enjoying the app. - Tom from Snobs

### 5/5 — It is Great

*2026-01-19*

This app is extremely well made. I love it the smart radio is the best. It’s literally tinder but instead girls it’s banger bands you’ve never even heard of. Thank you developers for this great app that will help my music journey.

### 5/5 — Fun to play with!

*2025-11-25*

I often get into a music rut, but this helped me discover new artists I haven’t remotely considered before.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the nice review KBigs007! I'm glad we helped you discover new artists. - Tom from Snobs

### 5/5 — Fun!

*2025-11-22*

### 5/5 — For people who love to explore music

*2025-11-18*

Snobs started as a passion project between a few of us who were frustrated with algorithmic music discovery giving us stale recommendations.

We wanted a simple and fun way to actively explore artists without searching through multiple blogs and websites.

Snobs lets you swipe through artists to build your own collection, then jump into shuffle play or a personalized radio based on what you actually like. 

We are trying to build a cleaner, more intentional way to explore music on your own terms.

As a small team we are working on this piece by piece, listening to feedback, and improving it as we go. 

If you love finding new artists or diving into subgenres, I hope Snobs helps make that process feel exciting again.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-11-09*

I love this app... The idea is genius! I often find myself wanting to discover new artists rather than new songs. Finding new artists through snobs feels so much more authentic! This app allows for talent to be recognized…not to mention the ease that comes with swiping left or right to find new music. Love it!!!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your kind words Ekgleason :) Glad you are enjoying the app! - Tom from Snobs
