pls help
i cant open the app, it wouldnt fully load so i uninstalled it but now i cant even log in😭.
My opinion? Terrible.
I’ll keep this short, app doesn’t allow me to sign in nor create an account! I tried verifying multiple times and yet it denies each time. I’ve also tried using multiple accounts and for each and every account, not even the ones NOT used for this app are working. It repeats each time that my account has been suspended. I tried contacting but it doesn’t seem like that works either. So, I don’t recommend this app. But if you still choose to get it then go ahead! I personally had a bad experience the first time I tried using it. Especially since that first time I couldn’t even sign back in. Have a great day to everyone, and I hope this app, and people, treat you better than they treated me.
these are literally just ai chat bots
it’s SO obvious
Unavailable in your region
Unavailable in your region problem is stupidly wrong, i can’t play any music inside the app.
Trash
Literally just a blackmail app in disguise
NOPE I DONT LIKE IT
Bug: I tried to report someone for calling me a slur it literally doesn’t, it just takes me to my Apple message login over and over…
When trying to report a message, there’s no option to do so…
So clearly there’s no safety and security in the app. But yet we need to verify our face, all while not having safety and security guaranteed… please change that
Issues: we need a subscription just to see who liked us… I hate it when apps do this. You also need to pay to add people close to you… what’s even the purpose, of making friends here, if they’re ALLL THE WAY OUT in Tim-buck-two… I’ll never understand it. I’d give five stars if this wasn’t an issue but I feel as though apps need to find a better use for subscriptions rather than it being for the whole purpose of the app.
Fun side: I love that you can take little fun music quizzes, post, discover music. It creates a safe space to make genuine connections rather than booty calls. But you can’t do that… unless you pay-

Terrible app
How do you take a timed quiz trying to get the highest score when it comes to time but every time you start going fast, it wants to pause the quiz or start making it seem like you didn’t tap your screen, causing in accurate times I was very close to being topped ranked but every time I start going fast, the quiz wants to start slowing down itself
Broken app
Lost account and can’t get back in
pic problem
I want to take a pic to chat ppl but its keep saying take a pic with finger .what a stupid app
Age verification
I honestly feel like if you’re gonna have an app where you know you’re gonna need the age verification you should let it work because I have tried the age verification multiple times and it just hasn’t worked. I don’t know what’s going on and this is the first time I’m using this app and it will definitely be a zero out of 10 because y’all haven’t fixed it and it’s been like this for a while so actually, I’m just gonna leave a one out of 10 review and I hope you fix it because I really want to use this app.
Age verification
It says I’m the wrong age even if I gave the actual age plz fix it
Hacking
You get notifications constantly and one of the probably fake people knew where I lived without me telling them
App doesn’t work
I literally tried to go on the app but it just loads and loads and doesn’t work at all do not buy this app at least you can’t even use it it doesn’t even work stupid app
App sucks so much
Literally nothing works on this app uploading a picture wasnt working and doing the age verification didnt work and the app keeps closing randomly its awful
This app just sucks
I hate apps that make you pay to even use the app, because I totally should have to pay to reveal someone’s message, these ppl aren’t celebrities holy Christ
Scam
I deleted the app and stopped my subscription, but the app keeps trying to charge me money at first it was four dollars and now it’s asking for six.
facial recognition scam
app won’t let you contact any matches until you verify age thru facial recognition which is a dangerous tool for techno feudalism.
DO NOT GET
While I was verifying my age with the camera the app decides to set that photo of me as my profile picture and will not let me delete it (I do not feel comfortable posting myself online) PLEASE JUST LET ME DELETE THE PHOTO OF MYSELF
Age verif don't even work
Nga I was stuck doing it for 30 mins the same finger up and smiling and it kept making me redo it, I ain't using no app like that
Horrible app
Why does downloading this app take 500 steps bro😔. And don’t get me started on that song quiz bro. God forbid I don’t listen to each remix and the songs hidden on a secret laptop in the Bermuda Triangle lost at sea since 1767🙄. This app made me waste 15 minutes of my life I could’ve been using doing anything else. Mind you 13 of those minutes alone was spent on the logging in process. Terrible app
Suspended for no reason
I quit literally came back from the platform and I got suspended for no reason pls fix this and Un suspended me
Where is NF?
THIS APP IS TRASH SINCE IT DOES NOT HAVE THE GREATEST ARTIST EVER NF
very limited freedom of expression
This app needs significant improvement. Normal messages in artist chats are often removed - for example, someone mentioned they’re from Pakistan and the message was deleted for “violating guidelines.”
Only English seems to be allowed. Messages in other languages, including song lyrics, are removed, even when the content is normal and harmless.
The moderation feels overly restrictive, with extreme content filtering and an unnecessarily strict moderation system. This results in heavy-handed moderation and very limited freedom of expression.
This makes it difficult to communicate freely or express yourself. I also shared a photo from a show that included foreign subtitles, and it was removed simply because it wasn’t in English, and a pop-up message appeared explaining that it was removed for that reason.

Cancelled my account but still being charged????
I cancelled my account over 2 weeks ago and I’m still getting charged? I can’t go back into my account to change this because I cancelled it but I can still be charged apparently
age verification
The AI wouldn’t verify me even after i added photos of me in every possible angle, the lighting was good and it STILL wouldn’t do it. PLEASE get that in check
AGE VERIFICATION
This app needs to do id or something because I’ve been trying to get it to work for the past 10 mins and it wasn’t working. I can’t even use the app because it doesn’t think I’m the age I put. Very disappointing I thought this would’ve been a fun app…
Logged out for 3 days
suddenly logged out and can’t log back in with any method for 3 days… conversations all on hold. Is it just me or the whole app? Needs to be fixed regardless.
Actually tried it for a few days, Honest review
Okay first I’ll list the features the app lists then I’ll talk about the pros and cons.
The app says it’s used for making friends who share similar music tastes. You can chat with people, join your favorite artists chat rooms and talk with other fans, you can post about music, and another key feature the app offers is music quiz’s. Information you have to put in include- a picture of yourself to prove your age that’s reviewed by Ai, Your Name, Birthday, and City.
Kinda annoying because you don’t really get a choice. If you don’t give this info you can’t use the app. So if you wanna stay private online and don’t feel comfortable sharing personal information I wouldn’t recommend this app.
Now as for the pros, I like the idea of this app! It was kinda fun at first, I enjoyed the music quizzes, and talked with some pretty nice and cool people, and found some new songs.
But the cons annoyed me so much i couldn’t really continue,
EVERYTHING is behind a pay wall.. to see who viewed your profile, to message certain people, to enjoy a lot of features in the app that in my opinion should just be free. Next, people are mainly using it as a dating app, the app features a swipe left or swipe right and most people are just looking for a bf/gf, even worse when you get messaged by a 12 year old or a 18+ person trying to date you (I’m a teenager in high school so this is weird to me) I wish age restrictions were stronger, or at least a real person was monitoring it rather than Ai..
And even when you do meet someone nice they sometimes randomly disappear off the freaking app and you can’t find them again?? Idk if it’s a glitch or if they deleted the app or removed me but it’s still weird.
Lastly the music quiz’s you can only do 3 quizzes ever unless you watch an add or pay for the subscription.
I might have missed some stuff but this is just my thoughts on the app after using it for a few days, I really feel like this app could have been cooler if it wasn’t a pay to play app and if it was safer, ESPECIALLY for minors!!

logged out
logged out like everyone else. bug needs to be fixed
Lame
They keep advertising this app as an app where u js take a quiz and there’s leaderboards and stuff but I downloaded it js to find out it was basically wizz 👎
Subscription
This is a really cool concept and probably more on the organic side of meeting people, but I forgot we live in a world where companies/people value money over connections. They have you set up your profile just to hit you with the PRO subscription. Don’t bother if you’re not willing to pay $4.99 a week. Wouldn’t even let me choose no subscription smh :/
Mid
Vro i listen to JTmusic why are you matching me with people who like Sabrina carpenter😭😭 also why can i talk to 12 year olds on here and why does everything lowk require payment ???? Love the song quizzes and whatever but wow this app feels like raw unseasoned chicken and white rice with a side of groo.ming 🥹🥹 L face/age verification too 🔥
Good concept
Good concept but terrible execution, having to pay for the most basic things that you would have no second thought of. Almost everything advertised is behind a paywall. The subscription is very cheap/affordable, but having to pay a dime just to see how messaged you is crazy.
DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME.
I cannot begin to explain my rage for this app. Why advertise “making friends via music” when they don’t even recommend people with your music taste??? They also won’t even let you add someone back without buying a subscription. Not to mention, they’ll match you with random people despite having just finished setting up your profile. They also force you to choose an AI prompt to start a conversation with recent matches, so apparently I started a conversation with 2 randos that I didn’t actually match with. There is literally nothing justifiable about the idiocy of this app.
Sextorting
Someone is sextorting me in this app rn I don’t know what to do, not a good app don’t ever use it. People on here are not reliable
PARENTS BEWARE
When I tell any of the first hand stories I’ve witnessed happen on this app, it is deleted.
DO NOT allow anyone you love under 18 on this site without constant supervision. This app is full of very bad people looking for their next victim.
Also full of fake 5 star reviews. C’mon Apple, what is this garbage!

Not worth it. Save your time fr
To do anything really you have to pay. The app is for “making friends” yet you can’t see anyone who’s interested in your profile or texts you. Then when you first sign up it shoots off random texts to people to idk start a conversation without your permission. There’s little glitches here and there that lowkey was irritating. To post on your account you have to buy. Like hello?? Disappointment fr.
Hate it
I downloaded it so I can do music quizzes like all the ads I seen about it showed, but I deleted it the minute I opened it. It won’t let you continue on the app unless you post your face, your birthday, and your location. I ain’t doing all that for a music quiz.
age verification
i would say the app is cool but i haven’t even been able to fully try it. i had to do the age verification over 20 times before it finally worked. it kept saying i wasn’t in the age range i said i was even tho i am… like that’s literally my age. once it finally worked i went to change my profile. i was planning to delete the app and i didn’t want my photos on there, so i removed them and decided to try one more time. then ofc that’s when it decides to work so i was like okay fine i’ll keep it and put my photos back… just for it to make me verify again. and now it’s not working again
It’s ok
You literally hav to pay for almost everything and it’s filled with bots 💀💀
Why didn’t the support team respond to my requests
Baddd!!!
How long does restriction last?
Hello, I was restricted for some unknown reason and I tried emailing them but they told me I had to wait still and I was wondering how long does it usually take because it’s been two weeks already.
Why turn it into a dating app 😔
Its a good app on the surface but one you join you realize 1% of people in the chat rooms talk about the music. And the quizez are tooooo addictive 😭✌️
What’s wrong with verification?
Seems like a good app but nooooo, I keep trying to scan my face and hand but it keeps making me retake the picture.
I'm way too insecure
Yk i would've enjoyed it, if I didn't hav to show my face to the world. Couldn't even store atleast?
Lack of diversity
Barely anyone has a unique music taste. Also there arent even artists that I listen to on this app
I can’t delete it☹️
I downloaded it so I can try the song quiz and now I can’t delete it but the quiz was pretty fun
More scummy
This app is odd and all the girls keep trying to push to talk on other platforms. Most trying to sell their adult content. Within 3 days I have been asked to join 43 snapchats, IG’s or WhatsApp and 3 telegrams.
I thought oh cool music and people and maybe find someone.
Nope same as all the other apps. Don’t waste your time, energy or money. Kinda wish I went with my gut and didn’t spend the $14.99.

not great
It’s good and I like doing the music quizzes but after awhile you just have to pay for everything, I made 2 friends and it wont let me add anyone else without having to pay.
Meh
Only good if you're into mainstream music, they don't acknowledge a lot of smaller band and you can't add them to your profile
