Overheats my phone

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

Response from developer

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

It is Great

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.

Fun to play with!

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

For people who love to explore music

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.

Great app

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!!!

Disappointed

This is a very disappointing app every time I go on it it’s kick me out should’ve been zero star since this app is useless and disappointing

Way to Glitchy

Underdeveloped

If you wanted to give it another shot it should work better for you now. If you have any issues or suggestions feel free to reach out to me at info@kingfishergo.com - Tom from Snobs

Insanely buggy

I would really like the app if it actually ran smoothly, but the amount of times I have to clear and refresh the app to even like one artist is laughable. It gets to the point where you literally can not use the app.

Response from developer

Hey Natalie, sorry to hear the app didnt run smoothly for you. Since your review we have worked hard to improve and debug the experience. If you would like to give it another shot it should work as you would expect. If you still experience issues or have any suggestions to improve the app feel free to reach out to me at info@kingfishergo.com. - Tom from Snobs

Could be so great!!

Needs so much improvement and I really hope it comes. Could be such a great app if it wasn’t bugging out literally every minute and I have to clear out the app to get it to ‘work’. Anxiously waiting for that, very much needed, update!

Response from developer

Hey scrimblius_plim, sorry the app gave you issues... but glad you like the idea! Since your review we have worked hard to fix all those issues and improve the experience. If you wanted to give it another shot it should work better for you. If you have any issues or suggestions feel free to reach out to me at info@kingfishergo.com. - Tom from Snobs

Amazing idea

I love the idea of the app but there are some flaws. When I was swiping I found some bands i never heard of, and when I was listening the music would skip way too fast. I feel like there should be a feature where you can change the song, and if you want it to be early, mid, or present when it comes to the discography.

when it comes to the screen itself, the pop ups are annoying, you have to click though 3 before you can get to the next band

The swiping (yes/no) is a great idea. But it needs to be a bit smoother when transitioning.

Other than that I haven’t had issues with it. Keep it up

Hey Haydengully22, glad you love the idea and thank you for the review! Since your note we have fixed issues with song skipping, swipe are smoother and we also removed the unessisary popups you mentioned. If you wanted to give it another shot it should work better for you. Thanks for the idea about song timeline. We do plan on adding features related to that in the future :) If you have any issues or more ideas feel free to share them with me at info@kingfishergo.com - Tom from Snobs

Lots of potential…

I think this app is great… when it decides to work. You see I downloaded this app because I found an ad for it scrolling on instagram and downloaded it because I’m looking for diversity. Turns out if you use it too often it will break and you won’t be able to use it. But from when I was able to use it, I enjoyed it. Just needs a heap of bug fixes, UI enhancement, and (optional) a wider range of artists/bands.

Hey rushxx21! Glad you were able to enjoy the app for the most part. Since your review we fixed a bunch of issues, updated the UI and continue to add more artists. If you wanted to give it another shot it should work better for you. Thank you for the notes! - Tom from Snobs

Cool idea, terribly executed

I love the idea of discovering artist, but the app is incredibly buggy. It is actually unusable. I couldn't imagine why the developers thought it was a good idea to add a paywall at this stage. Their monetization idea limits the free use of the app, which is not how you do things if you want to make good money from an app. Look at Fortnite and take notes. People play Fortnite for FREE, but PAY for the luxuries. Maybe instead of getting more swipes, add a feature that can export playlists of songs that are catered towards your liking to your preferred music app. That way, people can swipe to their hearts content, AND the app can make some money. As of right now, this app had my attention for the concept, but was deleted due to it's execution. Unfortunate.

Hi AlphaChill, sorry you had a disapointing experience, but glad you like the overall idea. Now its free for unlimited swipes and even play full songs with the shuffle radio. Our paid plan is available for anyone who wants to remove ad breaks. We are also working on being able to sync with your preferred music app like you mentioned so thank you for the good idea :) Btw since your review we have improved the overall experience if you would like to give it another shot. If you experience any issues you can message me at info@kingfishergo.com. - Tom from Snobs

super buggy, but cool!

i can imagine this app becoming super cool, but honestly for the time being its rough around the edges.

Response from developer

Hey Apex, glad you enjoyed the app despite being rough around the edges. Since your review we have worked hard to improve the experience if you would like to give it another shot. Hope it lives up to your expectations! - Tom from Snobs

It auto skips a lot of songs

Idk what paywall people are talking about but it keeps skipping a bunch of songs I can’t tell if I like the musician or not

Response from developer

Hi Kadester105, Sorry to hear you experienced issues with autoskipping. That bug should be fixed now if you wanted to give it another shot! Feel free to reach out to me if you experience any other issues. My email is info@kingfishergo.com Have a great day! - Tom from Snobs

Underdeveloped

This app definitely seems to still be under construction since there isn’t much to it yet. It lets you choose what artists you like and creates a liked list, but that’s about it. You can’t search, as there is a predetermined list of genres and groups within them. A lot of the genres are over generalized and are missing better descriptions. The app is going in a cool direction, but it needs a little more variety to its options. The set up is neat and simple. I will return in the future after more work is done.

Would love to invite you to check out the latest version. If you experience any issues or have any other feedback feel free to message me at info@kingfishergo.com - Tom from Snobs

A Phenomenal Way to Kill Your Userbase

You’re kidding. You’re actually kidding. You have to PAY to simply discover new artists, which one could easily and alternatively use other free websites to do instead? WHY ON EARTH, would ANYONE with more brain power than a two year old EVER pay for an app like this. It is downright ridiculous, and honestly insulting to the user. These guys need to rethink their strategy because the mere idea of locking this behind a paywall sets an extremely scary precedent for the future of media consumption. What a waste.

Response from developer

Hey Onehotfishy, sorry to hear our app disapointed you. Im not sure what paywall you were referring to but its always been free to explore artists and now recenlty its free to listen to the radio feature as well. Our paid plan is available to anyone who wants to remove ads. We have greatly improved the app since your review if you wanted to give it another shot. If you experience any issues feel free to reach out to me directly at info@kingfishergo.com - Tom from Snobs

Great Idea Poor Execution

Like my tittle says it’s a great idea but there is hardly any genres the app is very laggy plus you have to pay just to essentially see new artists like I mean at that point just go to google and find new artists and they have just smashed a whole lot of different styles of music under one category like there’s no phonk category they put one phonk song under rap please for the love of god phonk is not rap but like I said great idea poor execution maybe I’ll stumble on this app in a few months and hopefully it will be better

Response from developer

Hey MatchedRapier12, thanks for sharing your thoughts! After reading your review we added Phonk as a subgenre in the app. I agree Phonk isnt nessisarily rap, but since our subgenres need to be placed in only one genre, we chose hip hop since its rooted in memphis rap. We have been working hard to improve the app and should be less laggy if you wanted to check out the new version. If you have any issues or other suggestions you can message me at info@kingfishergo.com. -Tom from Snobs
