Summary

This app receives predominantly negative feedback, primarily due to widespread issues with app access and stability. Many users are frustrated by persistent update prompts despite no new version being available, coupled with a strict requirement for the latest iOS versions like iOS 18 or 26.1, rendering the app unusable for those with older devices. While some artists appreciate the fast application review process and successful stream tracking, others criticize missing features such as clip uploads and direct lyrics submission, alongside concerns about data inconsistency and unfair algorithms.
