Would be perfect for bikers ### 2/5 — sooo glitchy *2021-02-13, version 3.2.174* i’ve been trying to use this app with my s/o for months and it is so glitchy! only some songs play, some literally just glitch out. some songs on my phone will play correctly, others will play an entirely different song on my s/o’s phone. so frustrating! wish creators could work out the kinks so we can successfully listen to music together. ### 2/5 — Too glitchy to enjoy *2020-05-01, version 3.0.92* The concept is there but when you glitch every 5 minutes, leave the app, and drop audio, it defeats the purpose. Thoroughly disappointed in this app. Finding another. ### 2/5 — Great concept, terrible execution *2020-03-28, version 2.110.236* This app needs a complete overhaul if it is going to survive at all. 1) the app is horribly buggy. Nonstop crashes and glitches and SLOW. 2) Goes in way too many directions with no instructions or attempt to create a simple streamlined interface. Stick to the listening parties and shared playlists with friends, which is all people really wanna do. Work on getting the basic selling features really really right. 3) your recently played tracks on your streaming service should be immediately visible when you try to share a song. I should be able to listen to a song on apple music and go, “oh, I wanna share this with my Vertigo followers”. Launch the app and boom, there’s the song. I shouldn't have to search for it. Simple things like that would go a long way in making your app user friendly. ### 3/5 — Great Concept BUT GLITCHY *2020-03-21, version 2.110.234* if you guys can fix the glitches—which are really annoying—this would be great—especially in the midst of quarantine lockdown. we still needa party with friends somehow! ### 3/5 — Just stopped?? *2019-11-15, version 2.110.17* I really liked this app but when i started my playlist it just wouldn’t play the song and stayed at 0:00 so i would skip it and the other song would play. Can you just not play certain songs?? ### 1/5 — Just no. *2019-07-27, version 2.106.1* I liked this app at first! I mean free money you can’t go wrong with that... I won a total of 6 times but only received my money twice. After a week of going on Instagram and going on twitter asking people to download this app and like my post, they tell me I am not eligible. It bothers me because why couldn’t you tell me that before I spent a week trying to get 1st place??? It will always be a surprise if they decide you are eligible. It makes no sense because my first ever post won and it was a pic of my guinea pig. Then I entered a Taylor Swift contest and posted a pic of Taylor Swift and THEY SAY IT IS NOT ELIGIBLE. Made me very mad. When I spoke with Rose through email she just kept saying “sorry and I’m glad you understand” and I DID NOT UNDERSTAND. She was no help whatsoever. ### 1/5 — Hard to use *2019-05-20, version 2.100.1* This app was so hard to use, I joined to join a contest and I spend 30 minutes just trying to figure out how to work it, then none of my friends showed up on the app when I searched for them. ### 3/5 — It’s okay *2019-04-26, version 2.98.8* It’s okay , it says what it does but the only problem I am having with the app is that I can clearly see my notifications when I’m on my home screen on my phone but when I open the app up to see the notification in the app it says “no recent notifications” it’s annoying because I know I have some but the app is not showing me anything. I’m getting irritated by it. Please fix this problem thank you ### 2/5 — Contest *2019-04-25, version 2.92.7* Just saying if your going to have a contest make sure everything is fixed before the set time where people have to enter so nothing goes wrong ### 1/5 — Wont Allow access *2019-04-25, version 2.92.7* This app told four of us that were creating an account that our cell numbers were already in use. Coincidence?! I don't think so. So we all tried creating one using our email and Facebook. All of them said it failed. Is this app a scam? ### 1/5 — A JOKE *2019-04-01, version 2.92.7* This app is absolute trash. They do contests and are so biased with who they choose as the winners. They also will disqualify some accounts but others who constantly cheat are fine. Get your proprieties straight vertigo before you have no customers left. ### 2/5 — Alright app *2019-03-15, version 2.92.7* App doesn’t allow my music to pair fully, as well as long wait time to sync the music. Couple bug fixes could improve this app severely ### 1/5 — Too Much Going On *2019-03-03, version 2.89.8* I really want to like this app, and from what I think the main features are I really like the idea. But I have no idea what is going on every time I entered the app. I don’t want to go online and read about how to use the app, but I need to because I have no idea how to use it. Please Help me understand this app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Won’t pass account creation *2021-07-24, version 3.5.30* Whatever email or phone number I use it says it’s already in use, but password reset says it doesn’t exist. I have never created an account on this app. ### 1/5 — Glitchy to the MAX! *2021-06-12, version 3.5.4* Completely unusable. It was working for a minute when I first started, but now it can’t even get all the way thru a song before it starts glitching. ### 1/5 — Music app that won’t play music *2020-05-15, version 3.1.41* We’ve tried starting listening parties and playlists and queues. After messing with it on multiple occasions and deleting and reinstalling I’ve yet to get a single note of music to play on this app. ### 1/5 — Interface is confusing, it didn’t work playing music for everyone *2020-04-12, version 3.0.85* I got this app to listen to a synced playlist with friends simultaneously but I started a listening party and the only person the playlist was playing for was me? So it didn’t do the simply function I came for. The interface is also confusing and messy and hard to navigate. The potential is here but the execution is non existent? ### 1/5 — Excited then disappointed *2020-03-30, version 2.110.236* The app had me excited to listen to music with friends but after various tries to get a music party going and queuing up some songs it was impossible to navigate and had to quit trying. The app is buggy and laggy. The interface is hard to understand and for the simple fact of just hosting a listening party with friends it’s so complicated it makes me wanna throw my phone across the room. Needs major improvement. ### 1/5 — Promising, but Disappointing *2020-03-29, version 2.110.236* Downloaded in hopes that four friends could share and talk about music. Problems: - only one person can turn on mic or video - only one person can edit queue - when queue is unlocked, playback freezes Only worked for a pre-set playlist or album. Could not edit or discuss. Not what was promised at all. ### 1/5 — Can’t create account *2020-03-08, version 2.110.226* This sounds like an app that is enjoy. But I can’t use it. I’ve tried all of the methods in the app to create an account and none of them work. ### 1/5 — Unprofessional to a worrisome degree. *2020-02-25, version 2.110.214* This app is currently endorsing a “contest” that is capitalising on the recent birth of a music artist’s child. The artist in question: Tyler Joseph (Twenty One Pilots) recently announced the birth of his firstborn daughter. Rather than send a public “congrats” on social media, Vertigo is holding a THREE PART contest. First, they asked fans to compose a song ABOUT THE BABY from the perspective of the artist/her father. Absolutely disrespectful. Unsettling. An invitation for “fans” to be extremely unpleasant rather than simply congratulate the family. Oh, but it doesn’t stop there. A VOCALIST and an artist for the COVER ART of the chosen original song: “Sunshine Girl” will also be chosen. I can’t even begin to tell you all whst’s MOST wrong here. The entire “Sunshine Girl” contest is an absolute mess. I cannot believe a (semi)functional app has gotten away with this. I am so angry on behalf of the artist and his family. I’m putting this garbage on full blast. Yes. Even on the app store. ### 1/5 — MOST SONGS DONT PLAY *2020-02-02, version 2.110.157* Connected my apple music and tried making a playlist, about 3/4 of the somgs in my playlist don’t even play. Tried visiting someone else’s profile and their playlists don’t play for me too. Rubbish. ### 1/5 — Very bad as of now *2019-12-25, version 2.110.142* The idea of this app is awesome. I was really excited to use it with friends but after sitting with a group of people attempting for 30 minutes we weren’t able to get it to work. Simplify the app. One user who can choose the songs and others can join, I don’t understand why it’s so difficult. Please fix bugs and I will use this everyday ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great App to Make Money *2020-03-08, version 2.110.226* I’m not going to lie. You probably read other people’s reviews. Some are opinions, but the one fact the app lacks is being fully functional. It does glitch a lot, but one thing that keeps me motivating to keep coming back to the app is how big the winning prizes are. I told many of my friends to come back again and again to come try and win. It’s literally the only app I did that. This app is literally a great way for high school students and college students to make money. It does not require things like writing essay. All you have to do is post a picture or video relating to what the contest is about. You should totally try it! ### 5/5 — GREAT COMMUNITY TO EXPRESS COMUNITY *2019-08-05, version 2.106.1* This app provides cash rewards and concert tickets from many contest! AND ITS NOT A SCAM!!! This app allows me to express my creativity and get rewarded from it. I’ve won 500$ from this app and every time I win I get my prize so quick and easily!! ### 5/5 — Glitchy *2019-07-29, version 2.106.1* The app is fun to use, but it recently logged me out of my account, and it is not letting login back again. I was participating on a Contest, and I feel I have wasted my time because the app literally is not letting me do anything to login back into my account. Even when I try to reset my password it tells me that all of my identifications are invalid...so I’m starting to get a little frustrated! ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2019-04-28, version 2.99.3* I love this I love how you win tickets especially BTS I love you guys u guys are amazing ### 5/5 — love the app ! *2019-04-25, version 2.92.7* the home page hasn’t worked for the last two days, not sure why. ### 5/5 — What’s wrong with the app! *2019-03-24, version 2.92.7* What’s wrong with the app, nothing is working, my followers and the people I follow are gone even my video, and on the competition for Lady Gaga - The Edge of Glory my video is gone I was in 2nd place. I want to win! Fix the app plz ### 5/5 — Continuously Improving *2018-12-16, version 2.80.8* Once this app has it’s user interface figured out and marketing is streamlined in the App Store, I think it will do really well. For instance, if you’d just add a GIF explaining the core featureset (sharing music with friends) as the first image in the App Store, the upward trends would climb higher exponentially as more eyeballs would understand the offering as it climbs a chart. The UI needs more attention for sure, and I think you’re probably losing a lot of users to that because there is a distinct learning curve (check out Heuristic Evaluation by Jacob Nielsen for explanations of why things like having a “how-to overlay” greatly inhibit usability and engagement). I know the core offering and how to navigate the app so I am able to see “the vision” here, but it’s a turn-off if an app has to be explained to you from App Store preview page to using the app itself - it’s like a good joke, explanation kind of ruins it. Simplify, streamline, and amplify with a GIF (I know the marketing GIF sounds like explanation, but it is passive explanation and not part of your UX). ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2018-12-12, version 2.80.8* The mixers are so much fun and I find people so similar to me! I also have won money with the contest they do, and I even got to see Taylor Swift at her last USA show because of this app!!! ### 5/5 — Love Vertigo *2018-09-06, version 2.65.12* This app is great! So easy to build playlist interact with friends and enjoy all things music! ### 5/5 — Super fun if you invite friends! *2018-09-03, version 2.65.12* This app is ok on its own, but if you use it with your friends it really is a million times better. My friends and I chat and stream on it a few times a week & it’s a great way to keep in touch long distance👍🏽 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
