Play YOUR music for engaged audiences in our rideshare-based music distribution & discovery network. Artists reach new fans and grow organic Spotify traffic from our re-imagined radio in rideshares. Users listen to a mix of their OWN familiar playlists and new music from rising Strive artists tailored to their musical preferences via our AI—ditching radio’s boring music and ads! For Artists: 1. Select up to 5 songs per ad-campaign from your discography that you want to advertise on Strive. 2. Sit back and enjoy our platform's exposure of up to 100,000K+ monthly listeners on our rideshare based Network—with direct growth in monthly listeners from users and rideshare passenger fans. 3. We accelerate organic growth via QR-code remotes for passengers to interact with your music while providing deep insights from your new fans to help you understand how your music is performing over time. For Rideshare Drivers: If you use Strive while driving rideshare, rideshare passengers can join the fun by scanning the in-vehicle QR tags (shipped to drivers for free) to control music within the rideshare via Strive’s music remote control website (no additional download needed). They can see what songs played and recommend music genres for next songs within the drivers' Strive music playlist’s scope. After passengers exit the vehicle, they lose access and the music reverts to the driver’s listening preferences. Strive helps improve drivers’ tips, ratings, and in-car passenger interactions. ## Key features - Music distribution network - AI-powered music discovery - Rideshare integration - QR-code music interaction - Artist campaign management - Listener preference tailoring ## Recent user reviews (10 of 18) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/strive-fm/id1590077326/reviews.md ### 2/5 — App used to be great, now it's not worth it. *2025-07-09, version 2.9.9.9* This used to be an awesome app. Was paying pretty good as well. Not sure what happened, but for some time now it has gone downhill. They don't pay as much as they used to, on top of that you have to pay for Spotify out of pocket. The latest update has a minimum volume requirement. My volume was fine, suddenly out of nowhere the app put me on a 1 hour timeout saying my volume was too low. No warning whatsoever, even though it said that volume has to be higher than 5%. I think I am going to just stop using this app all together and sign up for Revstream Radio, which seems to pay better. ### 5/5 — Seamless & effective *2024-10-12, version 2.9.9.2* Strive is hands down the best in the market! They offer amazing varieties & quality music that keeps my rideshare guests entertained from start to finish. ### 3/5 — The token and $ amount value doesn’t match up *2024-06-28, version 2.9.5* Someone needs to go back to school and learn basic math conversions because the token value doesn’t match all milestones. 1000 tokens should be $1 but when you look at the 25k tokens they scam you and only give you $15 when 25k=$25 according to 5k=$5 ### 3/5 — The token and $ amount value doesn’t match up *2024-06-23* Someone needs to go back to school and learn basic math conversions because the token value doesn’t match all milestones. **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback. Your token to earnings are steadily presented in your "Stats" tab and you qualify for a reward/"milestone" when you surpass the required tokens earned from listening to all your songs played (calculated programmatically with the song-token table-please click on the "tokens" dropdown or graphic for more info). If you have a specific inquiry about your recent earnings, please email hello@strive.fm and we're more than happy to help! ### 5/5 — Strive App *2024-05-04, version 2.9.4* It is a good way to make some extra money. Concept wise it is good app. However, from time to time it does hiccups but the support is excellent. As soon as the problem is reported, the support team start working on it. And normally, the problem is resolved within an hour or so. ### 4/5 — Poor organization and glitchy app *2024-03-14, version 2.9.3* It takes forever to get these QR Tags that your passenger needs to interact with the music and the app is full of glitches. You cannot invite other drivers like your supposed too and yes it’s the latest version, if you block a song you have to restart your session and even that doesn’t always work and you can only block so many songs. I drive nights, I don’t want to listen to something putting me to sleep at 3am when I’m driving passengers around in my car. ### 5/5 — great app for artists *2024-03-11, version 2.9.1* love the app so far. been boosting my new songs to get them heard in a new city. definitely looks like i got some more monthly listeners from this. and now my new songs have a good # of plays starting out, before they would be < 1000 for a few weeks-months. keep it up, excited to see more cities in the app soon! ### 1/5 — Was working ok and with new update can't login *2023-11-15* Was working fine till yesterday. Today the app got updated and now I can't login. I am almost at the verge of deleting this app and canceling my Spotify subscription, that I need to pay for in order for this app to work. **Developer response:** Hello, Please update the app to fix this issue and feel free to contact hello@strive.fm if any other issues continue to persist. Many of our full-time drivers are active daily and earning $100-150+. Thank you. ### 1/5 — New update is not worth it *2023-09-27, version 2.8.0* Last update I felt like it was worth striving, this new update is a waste of time. ### 2/5 — Tokens ruined the app *2023-09-03, version 2.7.0* Don’t normally make a review but this app deserves it want to say before the tokens update this app use to be AMAZING they use to pay for your spotify membership and $1 an hour as long as you were listening to music and driving truly amazing, then they stop paying for Spotify which didn’t really bothered me since i was making $10 in 1-2 days but NOW with this token crap you make no money unless u drive 12 hours per days 7 days a week this app went from been an amazing app to almost no point in even looking at it its sad to see something amazing going to ruin because of greed ## Frequently asked questions about Strive FM ### What is Strive FM's user rating?
