ReverbNation for Artists Reviews

by Alascar

So you had a bug that would put your typing below line of sight. You said you fixed it. Still does it. Next, doesn’t populate venues. Third, double tap period doesn’t work. And worst? You manage to get past all that and create an event. When you save it hangs forever with “saving...” at the top. And it doesn’t save. Ever. Can’t you guys get it right? It’s a basic app. Nothing complicated. Why is it so hard to make an app that works???? I’m going to find another app that actually works.

ReverbNation is so-so. The stats are based on algorithms that determine how good you "might" be. this app itself is just a place where you can spend good money so people can hate on your music. Artist tools are a joke and you can only promote if you have $1,000s of dollars a week to spend. Even so, the ad campaign is merely a banner on random sites. A banner that you could generate for free using HTML formatting. Fanreach is merely spamming people. Unless you're Metallica, Barrun/Runes or Lil Wayne, no one will read your emails. When people have nothing negative left to say, they'll use go-to tripe like, "you're out of tune" or "over processed". Good points exist, though. It's a great place to post your music. It's a great way to showcase your talent to your friends and family. I just recommend not using crowd review.

The other version of this app was much better. Now it is extremely difficult now to upload a song using dropbox. It used to be so simple and it used to actually WORK every time. Since you made this new version, I have basically given up trying to add songs. Please fix you app! or, even better, just go back to the previous app version! It looked better and every time I saved a song to Dropbox, I could add it to my this app content. I just tried to do the process with new song and it just won’t post it. Please fix you app or allow us to use the previous one.

Not sure if it’s just me but I can barely use ReverbNation . Notifications don’t get marked as read when I open them, regardless of how many characters are in posts, I still get an error message saying I’m exceeding 140 characters, and scheduling a show on ReverbNation is almost impossible to put in the correct info where it actually needs to go.

Do not download. Seriously the worst and most stupid app I’ve ever come across. When I sign in on my pc it only asks for user name and password so it’s already saved. Then I tried downloading this horrendous, flawed app and it asks for your email and password. I used my email and password from website and it says my password needs to be 8 characters long. My password isn’t 8 characters long and I log in everyday on website. Oh and I can’t even share anything on twitter because your technology can’t understand it. Please fire who is ever in charge.

This is fairly useless when using the iPad and its normal position with keep pad and in every day use. If it is possible to change your settings somewhere, I can’t find it. Kind of defeats using it when showing it to people. And when demonstrating for potential expanding interest.

The calendar (shows) feature was way easier to navigate before the update and now doesn’t even say the day (ie: Monday, Tuesday, etc). For someone who plays 4-6 times a week most weeks, it’s easier to know the actual day, and you have to click through a few extra things to get there now. It looks nice but so did the previous few years. I have to use a calendar app to figure out what day these gigs are on now.

The overall UI re-design is pretty nice. I’m able to quickly update various aspects of my this app artist page, check stats etc. I gave it 3 stars as the show entry changed a bit from prior releases where you had more flexibility to add a non-traditional show with a customized name along with a location. Now you enter a name or location and you are forced to select any found results from a list that is internally generated and you can’t change the text of the name of the venue.

I can understand the simplification this was attempting to accomplish, but really prefer to have the prior flexibility. Also, shows entered under the old way and even newer ones cannot be edited. They must be deleted and reentered. Hopefully, the flexibility of the older show entry can be put back as I use this info in a widget to display in other web contexts so I can nicely maintain my show list in one place.

If you guys could fix this soon it would be great!

So I’ve realized when streaming it has bug glitches throughout the streaming process and it’s been kind of a pain.

Like, when I checked (how my audience hears my projects) it’s been so continuous it’s noteworthy and was hoping you could send an update to make the streaming process more flossed. An [update] to fix that small yet nagging flaw would maximize my enjoyment! I didn’t want to have to switch platforms over something so small but it is a sore.

Hope to hear back from you, thanks!

Just wished we had the full FanReach HTML capability on ReverbNation .

Other than that it's nice for checking your stats & fan demographics on the move.

As well as viewing profile, playlist & sharing music.

Woot! Thanks I've been waiting a long time for this feature. Now I can see how much money I have in my account and transfer it to PayPal from within ReverbNation . Four stars.

Most brand new artist are coined the term starving artist. I think it would be really dope if you still had opportunities (maybe not as many as the basic plan but still quality) opportunities that help the artist get to the next level of basic. SoundCloud helps you build a fan base for free. You wouldn't know this but artist pay out a lot of money. Yes, of course you should get paid too and that's where the free works up to the basic from the opprtunities you have presented. Look at it like this. Artist get gigs you get paid. Money is made to be spent but if you don't have it? How can you spend it? A free option with limited boundaries would probably make your company grow a lot more. Think of how many people would choose this app over another platform.

Very user friendly app that enhance the experience of the fan as well as the artist. It is easy to connect all my social media in one place as well as resources to use to get my music show and happenings out their. Awesome app that is constantly evolving. Irie'AC

I enjoy using ReverbNation. Enjoy the functionality of ReverbNation . It allows you to upload your songs, photos, shows and it provides you with connections. It's a great tool.

I have been a Artist on this app for a few years now and it has been a help for me, I have been working on getting my own website but until I do, this is helping me get my music heard and helping fans and supporters hear me!!! Thank you for that!!! I wish I would land one of these gigs that they keep sending me!!!!

this app is what you make of it. I have had a great time here showcasing my music. It is a great place for people to come hear what I have been up to. I don't sell my stuff here...... just a showcase. If you want to use the opportunities.... fine, they are here to use......but I just needed a place to send people to listen. They come and they hear. Great.

Love ReverbNation. It's a lot of fun checking my stats. C@@L !
Tons of listings for nearly everything you can imagine. From Management to airplay, film & tv sync, record deals, the list goes on. Great for any up & coming artist, writer or producer. Most of the big festivals require an RPK to even be considered for performances. Submit & forget.
Get your band on Reverb Nation. It's a great site to give links to your prospective gigs.

by Kenogod

Relatively new to this but so far I'm impressed with feedback over any questions I may have. The Dropbox allows seamless transfer of music files to site. For a basic (9.99) monthly fee one can seize as many opportunities as abound. From free mastering to airplay and exposure via interviews as well as potential slots all you need is desire and a little confidence. Keep up the great job!

I just received an email from RN saying ReverbNation is Now Better, one thing it lists that “makes it better” is you can now submit to opportunities from ReverbNation /phone. I have Never been able to do this as when you hit submit it says “Song upload not available on mobile devices”.

Fix that and I’ll update my review.

Other than that it’s a nice app although I feel RN is being neglected by many artist. I still have a decent fan base using the platform, just doesn’t get the traffic it used to.

Updated 6-6-18
I am now able to upload for opportunities via mobile. Therefore my only complaint was resolved. I thank the team for making this happen. Cheers

Seriously, where do I?........ I’m a lifetimer of RN. Seriously ReverbNation (and service) is so underrated! Every time I login I feel a sense of nostalgia. I have grown up with revernation. All I got to say is thank you, I’m number 2 in songwriting in Memphis TN and I about to be number 1. Since I was a teen y’all have helped me tremendously. You have Encouraged me and given me the resources to be heard, as well as how user friendly ReverbNation is. I could say so much. Seriously though, fires on all cylinders, I cannot thank you enough RN. Thanks for the constant encouragement and support. It keep me going! Much love and god vibes
