DistroKid Reviews

Don’t get me wrong, this app is a great service. But the mobile app is broken. DistroKid is soft-locked on the sign in screen and you cannot access anything else even if you sign in and 2FA correctly. Just use the website on Safari instead.

Problem with my account out of my control , but ill never get it fixed, because they literally don’t have customer service at all. Good luck if you have a problem, actually , there’s no chance you’ll get help. Requesting refund for this abomination of a service

Ok so I been using DistroKid on and off. I had a subscription on an account but it wasn’t allowing me to drop any music. I think this is a new bug on DistroKid because it won’t go past the subscriptions and it’s like forcing u to buy a subscription just to not let you in DistroKid . I now have a subscription price taken out of my bank for a subscription I don’t have nor did I request. Besides that even when it took the money from my account I’m still not able to get pass the subscription page asking me for different memberships . Please fix this. I’ve already requested a refund from Apple smh.

I tried to update the email on my account. Followed the steps correctly. Clicked the link that was sent to me. Logged in through the browser. For some reason out of the six times I tried it, it did not update my email.

I contacted “support” also very useless, gave me a thumbs to come and write this review. Fix this now please, and update my email.

I’ve spent money twice now over $50 to have my music distributed and both times distro kid has messed up and made me locked out of my account. This is now my second time requesting a refund and I’m gonna have to wait another month for it. even though they say “8 days”. this is so messed up man for a small artist i dont have alot of money and i keep loosing it on DistroKid. im so upset and stressed out right now man

I’ve been emailing this app for about a week asking why my song with a famous artist is stuck processing and almost in limbo phase. (For over a week) Got no responses. Threatened to go to another music distro and they said go right ahead. Not professional to me, when I’m just trying to figure out why my song is not going anywhere and I get no updates and then treated like that? Smh. I’ll give it 2 stars because I haven’t had a whole lot of issues until this one. But just unprofessional.

I’ve been using dk for a few years and had no issues but as of recently theyve made a few changes. For some strange reason both my this app accounts have had issues with withdrawals. Any other time I had an issue someone responded quickly but when it comes down to getting the money they owe you they flagged both my accounts for “suspicious activity” for no reason, both accounts had payment methods with my name attached to it like usual and it was just flagged for no reason. When i contacted support it took almost 2 weeks for them to reply then once they replied they told me it was fixed and I tried again and it really wasnt fixed. I emailed them again and waited close to another 2 weeks for another simple reply. The wait times you have to wait when it comes to getting your money is ridiculous and they dont give any other options to contact them only email and they take forever to reply only when it comes to getting the money you are owed.

I was charged twice and they told me they wanted the proof I provided a screenshot from Apple showing the money that they took from my account and said that they didn’t this is reason to lose trust in companies like this it’s sad , because what about the artist ? And what happened to keeping your word I did my part and haven’t heard anything back in days I’m disappointed.

Overall this app is one of the best, affordable distributors. However, there had been some issues that have been bugging me for some time. The main issue is having my releases stuck processing, and not being able to have my music uploaded to streaming platforms because of this ongoing delay.

I have been using this app since 2019 and love them as a distribution platform. I’ve never had any problems with them. However, I am unhappy with their newer updates. They are charging now for what used to be free services. An example is I used to be able to get my lyrics into stores for free now I have to pay for that same service and now that I’m paying it seems like it takes even longer for my lyrics to hit certain platforms if they even do him that platform. How can you all start charging for services that used to be free but now your quality of service has slightly dropped?

Hey SO I recently got musician plus because you can set release dates and do synced lyrics ect. So for some reason when I try and sync lyrics for a song when I let go of the synced button it disappears and I don’t know why? I’ve tried it on computers/laptops and on my phone but it won’t work I really hope you guys fix it because I think synced lyrics are cool but its not working for me PLEASE FIX

I was pleased that this app turned out to be a music distribution company rather than a Japanese anime substandard cartoon. Matter of fact, I happened to require at the Moment of this unparalleled, unvarnished revelation, that our band WYRED’s ‘Image’ Album project was complete, expertly mastered and ready for release to DistroKids vast roster of stream-n-purchase entities!

I do report that once my album tunes were parked in this app’s streaming, sales and distribution platform, the overall mix-n-balance clarity and separation were found to be unexpectedly steeped with powerful quality & balance, upheld by an unusually clean, brilliantly rounded bass-punch!

I understand that though my new released album’s applications have been submitted initially by this app to several high-visibility major streaming & sales platform companies who never haphazardly offer them up for listening and sale, but rather my music is carefully scrutinized & qualified, requiring some time to approve and apply to their systems. I am anxiously biding my time to see if my album is accepted!

The fact that it’s cheap and has lot of tools is good and that it helped me pursue my dream of becoming an artist. However, When you go to publish a song and don’t have an artist profile already made, this app creates an account for you and publishes the song on their. this is cool however the only problem about that is that the artist does not have access to the account and can’t edit anything on their artist profile like profile picture, or background. All that is there is the default artist profile and looks bland and unprofessional.

This is really good and the best for publishing music, my one problem is that it doesn’t charge monthly so once you get a plan technically, it’s only a few bucks but it automatically charges you the money for the year, but other than that it is a really solid app for publishing music

I am super happy and pleased with the new mobile app, I was able to upload my music super easy without having to sign onto a laptop or desktop. My only small complaint is, I would like the option to Master my records on the iPhone the same way it’s on the laptop. I don’t see the function on the cellphone. I wanted to master a few records before uploading Them but it wasn't there, but other then that DistroKid IS PERFECT! 🔥🔥🔥

I definitely love DistroKid it would be nice with a few more perks but it’s great for now also I am Monopoly Ace on all platforms
Please help me build my followers on which ever platform you listen to your music thank you so much

App is pretty cool but there should be an option to listen to your upload to ensure you selected the right file. My uploads were approved and I’ve set my release date but I still would like to listen to the uploaded file.

Also there needs to be more instructions during the process. I was able to figure it out and google some things but still. There’s room for improvement.

I love DistroKid . The only problem I have is having to re-enter my email, password and do the two step verification every time I want to get on

It works very good but everytime i leave DistroKid for a long time i have to log in and again and then confirm my email everytime

I hope y’all can use DistroKid it helped me release my music on streaming platform its really helpful to start off your music career

this app is the best digital distributor there is! I have tracks on Routenote and Amuse, and there is no comparison. There’s no royalty threshold to overcome, and you get paid within a week of requesting your royalties, no matter how big or little they are. Also, they deliver your songs to stores in as little as 24-hours after uploading! I changed my artist name to Nardy Global, and I uploaded my song “I hurt (radio edit)” to this app, and it was added to the stores by the next day.

I have used DK for over a year now and it’s been great for me. They finally have an app and it made me so excited but i feel like a dark mode option would make it even better.

I signed up For this app on Thursday October 12th and submitted my track. Was so easy, great communication and information. So on Friday night (yes the next day) my track went straight into the Irish ITunes Charts at #67 and when I woke up Saturday (this morning as I write this in shock) my track is #10 on the iTunes dance charts! Wow just wow 😮🤩
Oh it’s Joseph Sautez - Streets of Paris if any of you want to have a listen 👂 (Shameless Plug) but whoooop! Thank you this app ❤️

If your trying to make it in this world with your music and don’t want the middle men or want it to be simple to get paid for your music use DistroKid I’m a very skeptical person in general so take my recommendation and use this if your having issues getting on all platforms and wanting to get out there more this a real review btw come check out my music my artist name is nofxksgiven2001 I’m on all platforms cause of distro kid ✡️🔥🚀

I am very pleased with the effort this app has put into my song going on all platforms and promotions. I intend on uploading more and more in the near future. The only feedback and it may be something I missed is to link to my accounts on social media so once people view the song they can go straight to my profile. Thank you for everything so far!!

Sincerely,
godzcruze

Wow. DistroKid, is the best app I have on my phone. It’s so easy to use, and I’m so happy to be able to release my first album, “The Jimmy Show” to any streaming service! I’m enjoying it because people can actually see my album! Thank you so much for making it so easy and helpful for a cheap price!

I just got a this app subscription a month ago and I am blown away by how amazing DistroKid is. I have the 40$ plan, and there is more on here for me to use than I could have ever expected. It really feels like a service that wants to help you make music, and it has this amazing feature where you can insert your song into a clip from the TV show Friends! This is a fantastic service.

As a songwriter for the last 25 years with over 300 songs money was such an issue to publish these songs until I found DistroKid. It’s amazing. I’m publishing all of my music now…

I had a bad experience with an album I released a few years ago through a different distributor, so I was weary, but this app has been a great company to work with thus far. I love how user-friendly their system is, all the tools they have for artists, and my album was delivered on time correctly to all platforms as promised. Will work with them again for sure!

I wasn’t expecting the process to be so easy. And after I finished, my song was on all streaming platforms working a few days. And $22 for the whole year is extremely fair priced. Great job.

This is probably one of the most user friendly apps that I could find because tune core was very confusing for me. If you have seen any TikTok’s saying that DistroKid isn’t good then they are lying most likely but I have only been using DistroKid for a little and it has been very reliable

I’m going to keep this short and sweet. I used tunecore before and it was an absolute nightmare. I felt so in the dark during releases, even ones that were planned weeks in advance. this app user interface allows for the artist to feel more engaged in a release, even having promotional templates to utilize. What a great and relieving platform for distributing music.

I love to drop a lot and DistroKids yearly plan makes it super easy for me to drop whenever I want!

Finally after years of playing music and being a singer songwriter I can write record and release my music. One of the best things about this app is that I have 100% artistic freedom release music the way I hear it. this app has all the tools you need to release your music recordings.

Incredibly user-friendly and thorough. What more can you ask for? They even provide tools for social media.

So happy to see this app’s app launch! This is a critical tool for all musicians and hobbyists to get distributed and earn $. More power this app!

I didn't think I had it in me to do it. But they made it so easy. Thank you for all your help and getting my music out there!

DK was obviously in desperate need of a mobile app, and this seems to be just fine. So glad I don’t need to keep logging in to the web portal now, love that I can get notifications for new earnings releases 👍👍

The world’s best distributor now has an app! And you can upload music with it! Gamechanger. 💫

on all platforms. check me out <3
great app too

I love DistroKid so much

Search “ Zeeroy “ or copy this Linktr.ee/zeeroy HEHH 💤 Thank me later

If you bought a subscription and it gives you an error message, go to your App Store purchases and check if it’s pending. It will stay pending for a day or two if it already is. Check after a day and it should say the date of purchase, if/when it does, log out then log back into this app. Now it should work!!

Looks and feels like the website, but app! Everything feels like it runs smooth. Hopefully we get the “Goodies” section, for Promotion and Hyper follow!

Otherwise, navigating is super easy. Haven’t uploaded yet. But, seeing the Bank easier, and getting onto stats is way easier on mobile!

DistroKid is easy to use, gives us instant access to our artists, music, and tools. I’ve been waiting for this for a very long time. Thank you. I highly recommend DistroKid and this service to up and coming music artists!

this app is the real deal. Super affordable and they make the process easier than I expected. I always thought it would be a complicated process but it’s really not. My only regret is not using them sooner!

Great and amazing that you can access upload and use DistroKid just as well
As the desktop version. And getting notified when you have money is great too thanks this app

I haven’t started my plan, but before I do, do I need an Apple Music artists account to distribute music to Apple Music because Apple Music for Artists is hard to get started but Idk if u need an account on that to convert this app creation to Apple Music

I highly recommend this to ANY new up and coming artist that is attempting to get on different platforms super easy and extremely affordable

Would it be possible to be able in the future to release more than 35 songs

Update: I’m still loveing DistroKid keep up the good work!!!

I can't say enough about the quality of service you guys provide. I'm sure down the road you'll integrate everything on the site onto DistroKid . But like I said: this app Rocks!!

Finally, I don’t have to use my desktop to upload my music or videos. DistroKid has made our lives much easier and is a convenience. I love the this app app.

Thank you thank you thank you! This is such a great idea. It does everything the site does but I don’t have to sign in ten times a day! Thank you!

Love that distro isn’t only on the browser now but a mobile app. I’m a new artist and it’s been useful for uploading music to streaming services. Love the wheel of distro too! Add it to DistroKid .

So excited this is finally available for me to use! Can’t wait to get the royalties I deserve!

It’s way more convenient to see my music and see my earnings from my royalties off streams

I honestly love DistroKid it’s amazing to me and all of the variety of things it has to support an artist are amazing to me

I know of 5 people that showed me proof of them buying my music so how come I haven’t received any money I’ve also see people with 100,000 downloads and only make $10 why is that are u really not giving us our full pay and pocketing what we make and thinking people wouldn’t start noticing

I am very excited to use DistroKid as it is very efficient.

I’ve dealt with a few different distributors all of which has their advantages. With distro I must say you have a lot of good perks that us artists need as do others but you’re just different 🔥🫵🏿🫵🏿

I'm not sure about any other services but I do know you're the one I go through and you really inform me what's going on and when I'm streaming at the different stations.
I appreciate that.

DistroKid truly allows you to experience what every artist has probably always dreamed about. Sharing your music is always a special feeling and I really want to thank this app for this easy to use opportunity to share my music with the world. A great way to start your music career!
