No Hold My Liquor :(

PLEASE ADD HOLD MY LIQUOR BY KANYE WEST. It would really change a lot of minds and start a conversation.

Worst app of all time

Worst app of all time. If I could leave infinite one star reviews I would.

Doesn't work

I downloaded this app to sing karaoke, but it crashes when I try to create an account, which it requires you to do.

Needs an update

This app needs to be updated

Was this app made by a child?

Literally can’t even search for a song this is so buggy.

Next to useless

This app is horrible. The search function is all but useless and browsing to find the song/artist you're looking for is worse. Once you've chosen a tab, the app won't switch to any other tab. You have to fully close it, reopen it, and sign in again to get to another tab. Grade-school level coders could do better.

List is too short

The only think I would say should change about this app is that it show the entire list of requested songs and not just the first 6 — that way you can actually see where you are in the queue.

Disaster

Great idea, nice if it actually worked. Touch points don't work most of the time, show finder is a disaster.

Needs love

Muddy touch points, arduous account creation/ login process. Needs to allow use of other auth source. Show Finder needs badly to be refined. By the time I get to search for bars, I am ready to close the app. The premise is right; even some of the interfaces have merit. But if you cannot get through the process of finding bars and songs a bit faster, it is a loss. To make matters worse, most of the advanced functionality for queuing was not used by the Moose in Minneapolis. It felt like a very paltry replacement for song books.

doesn't work

can never pull up the state or cities and weekdays to find a show!!

Poor song selection

How is there no Paramore or SZA?

Password recovery

This app will return your password in plain text if requested via email or text. While an attacker would need access to the user’s emails or text messages (easily susceptible to shoulder surfing), under no circumstance should any piece of software return a user’s plaintext password. The proper procedure would be having the user reset their password when they forget their old one.

Words incorrect in many songs

I’ve used this app at karaoke shows and the words for many, many songs are wrong. Especially older, classic songs from 60’s-70’s-80’s-90’s. The conversions made are horrible and in many cases the words aren’t even close to correct. The format is consistent, but just a terrible translation of the lyrics from whatever source (sound choice, karaoke channel, etc) is used.

Stage name field

I seen chuckles comment about a stage name field 7yrs ago and also think this is a fantastic idea, why hasn’t it been added yet

Some updates would be nice

It would be awesome if there was a “new music” button or a way to cancel your song if you’re leaving.

This app rocks!

I mean it

No privacy

It asked me for my name. Put in a simple name and I was prompted to input my fill name. Now everyone at the bar knows my full legal name. Not what I wanted.

Problems that could easily be fixed

It’s been 5 years since this app has been updated. We hosts pay a monthly fee to use the system but there are issues:

1: Registering on Android has been very buggy with errors that state emails were already used or invalid logins after registering.

2: no way for the singer to delete a song in queue or re-order them should they change their mind. Happens all the time.

3: Name changes in app should reflect in Compuhost as well.

4: scalability is terrible on Android when a user has very large fonts set.

Primarily if the user could register a bit easier and could manage their own queue, that would be enough for me.

I really like the concept and it works great but has flaws

Ok. When a singer signs up they put in there full name. This is the same info that gets put into the host system and the singers then change it and it creates a new singer when they add the next song

Fix have a stage name that is used upon login creating the Acct and lock it down. The host system can allow a name change and tracks the singer so people don’t try to sneak in as a new singer. This happened my second time out. They did it by accident. Of the 5 users 3 changed there name after they saw it on the app

Waste

Just buy a songbook and keep a list? App is a waste of time, space, thought, and data. Doesn’t even tell you who the artist is for a ton of Irish songs.
