bubble for STARSHIP

In terms of apps available for fan engagement, Bubble has to be the worst. Clunky with no features and still want you to pay a monthly fee in order to see the one-sided chats from the artist (or single member) you follow. A bummer for those who bias an artist who doesn’t post frequently. It’s exploitative to the fans, and now you’ve also got another KPI point over the artists head. To the developers and companies: do better.

Coming from an app like Phoning, this feels like a joke. I want to get the artist’s messages, but the lack of translation by default (needing to tap three times on average per message for translation to work) makes me feel like an idiot for paying for this. I never get excited, I dread getting the notifications honestly.
