Why use generative AI in a creative app?!? You can’t even opt out of using the AI! It’s extremely harmful to not only the artists you put on this app but to the whole world. ### 2/5 — Decent app, bad selection *2026-01-22* The app itself isn’t awful, but their selection is. I understand that they are a new service and need to prove themselves before big names will attach themselves, but still on launch you should have at least a few big names rather than smaller artist no one has ever heard of nor are interested in listening to them. If they can get a better selection of artists then I think this app could be alright, but until then it’s practically useless to most people. ### 2/5 — i mean it’s ok *2026-01-18* like i said it’s fine but the lack of artists really makes me mad, i get the concept/idea and it’s amazing! i found you guys on instagram and i was really disappointed with the overall. But ive seen some other reviews and saw that you guys are adding new artists every day. it’s is great concept for children if you don’t want them on spotify and something that you know will help them. i still tried this out with spotify premium but i think if you added a lot more artists it would be just as good. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-01-18* Shi got no artists. I’m talm abt no youngboy no quando not even Mariah Carey ### 1/5 — Lack of artist *2026-01-04* Good concept but horrible selection of artist. **Developer response:** This is the challenge for any new music service. We're adding more labels and artists every day. But most distributors want to see your product live in the marketplace before they will agree to join. So you have to launch with a limited catalog in order to obtain a more complete one. ### 2/5 — Great Concept, Little Support Sadly till more Artists arrive. *2025-10-22* I love it! The issue though is that the General User Interface is a bit bland though and does not make it easy for you to find artists really. Specially with how there are very little names to check… you can’t really check an artist out unless you know them which I so far see all mine do not exist here. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not recommended *2026-08-24* This app is not good, I try to listen to some adio carrion and it didn’t work and u have to earn points to “buy” the songs not recommended ### 1/5 — Confusing *2026-08-16* Is this for song previews or to listen to full tracks? ### 1/5 — The app uses ai a good enough reason to not use it *2026-08-03* As I said, they use AI to find and make music it doesn’t support artists and directly goes against what this app says it is. The app is not free for listening to music and they don’t have any of the artists I want to listen to for good reason, because this app is AI slop and doesn’t actually support these artists it claims to have. do not download it ### 1/5 — False advertisement *2026-07-25* Js stick to Spotify bro 💔 ### 1/5 — 1 star *2026-07-22* This app sucks, it uses AI and nobody is on here, No Beatles, No Billy Joel, No Paul McCartney, No Black Sabbath No NOTHING ### 1/5 — Can’t find music *2026-07-19* Only have they only mix ### 1/5 — Too soon *2026-07-19* I had down loaded this app and in the first 30 seconds I get 2 requests for a rating. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2026-07-15* This app uses AI. And for an app that’s supposed to be uplifting and helping the small creators I can’t seem to find any of my favorite but I can easily find snoop dog? He was the first thing I saw when I opened the app, well not if you count the AI, this is so stupid, AI is one of the top things that harms small creators and takes chances away from them even if you told me that this app only used it for the search engine or for some select images why on earth would I believe you? You’re already blatantly putting it in front of my face without trying to hide it so I feel like any “small creator” is just some big label trying to make extra money. This app is just hollow claims and a cash grab. I wouldn’t be surprised if this app was just generated by an AI on a random afternoon. Don’t get this app get an mp3 like me. **Developer response:** This is Tim Quirk, the guy in charge of Tapedeck. We do use AI in search, and don't hide that fact, but that's the only place we do. And the reason for that is to help, not harm our artists: because we are a very new service that is still acquiring catalog, listeners are bound to get null results when they search for specific artists if we don't yet have a license with their label or distributor. In order to highlight what we DO have that a given listener might enjoy, we have built a search engine using an LLM that enables listeners to speak to the app the way you might to a friend, telling Tapedeck not just who they want to hear, but what kinds of music they want to hear. Our LLM helps the artists in our catalog get discovered even when they're not what a given user was actively looking for, and enables our listeners to find new music to enjoy. I'm a musician myself, and while I revile AI that's used to replace creators, I am in favor of AI that helps creators get found. You're certainly free to disagree, but I can guarantee you that we're not just some faceless tech company using AI thoughtlessly. Tapedeck is built by musicians and music fans FOR musicians and music fans, and we are very cautious and deliberate about how, where and why we use AI. Personally, I distrust any music service that claims they avoid all AI, because I have yet to find any reliable way of detecting when a given track has been created by AI. We don't seek such "music" out and we don't promote it, but I only promise customers thigns I can genuinely guarantee. ### 1/5 — Janiya’s review *2026-07-10* Spotify is way better, this is false advertising you have to unlock music to listen too it ### 1/5 — AI GARBAGE *2026-07-09* If you love supporting Ai with music this is for you filthy, globy people ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — - *2026-07-27* Great for music discovery ### 5/5 — Quality *2026-06-15* So far everything has sounded great. I love the concept of this platform regarding properly providing artists with compensation. The only thing I would like to know is how to upload my music to their catalog. I did email but still no answer. Thanks for creating a new alternative for us Indy artists. ### 5/5 — Cool *2025-10-09* I love the concept as an independent artist. I want to make Tapedeck my exclusive platform for distribution. ### 5/5 — Can download music for free (for the most part) *2025-10-06* Interesting concept where you can watch ads and get credits to fully download and own music without actually spending money. It seems very new and I believe it just launched, which is I believe one of the reasons it has limited offerings in terms of big and popular artists. I think it could be a great place for DJs to download music for free and if the app really explores the EDM/House scene for downloading tracks for DJs it could be huge ### 5/5 — How to listen to more than one track at a time? *2025-10-03* I want to listen to more than one song before it stops… **Developer response:** Hi Dave! There’s an AUTOPLAY toggle near the play/pause button when you maximize the music player. Toggling it on will play the queue continuously. We’ll turn it on for everyone by default soon, thanks for noticing! ### 4/5 — Tragic *2026-08-09* Please let me know when you have more licensing cause this is sad for me yall ain’t even got war or Led Zeppelin ### 4/5 — Cool *2026-07-08* Cool tho ### 4/5 — Good App *2025-12-23* The app itself is well made but there is music and artists that are missing or else I would give it a five stars. ### 3/5 — No Latin music *2026-08-14* The one odd thing about this platform is that there no Latin music categories at all, and barely any Latin music. ### 3/5 — Doesn’t have a lot of artists. *2025-10-13* I love the concept and I’d totally keep it if I could listen to the artists that I love but the app doesn’t have those artists. For context, the artists that I usually listen to are AURORA, Sabrina Carpenter, Billie Eilish, and Jelani Aryeh, and none of them are on the app. If they were though, I’d defs give 5 stars cus I love supporting my favorite artists when I can. **Developer response:** Thanks for trying out Tapedeck! We’re busy behind the scenes adding more music, so stay tuned! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
