5/5Easier to learn than tablature!
I’m not a teenager in high school playing in a band with my best friends....(good old days) and I don’t go out and meet new people ever since I don’t have the time it takes to invest in people to see if they would be a good fit as a friend and possibly a band mate and my kids and wife won’t join my band....what’s a middle aged head banging, thrash guitarist to do....CALL DAVE MUSTAIN!!!!......or use this killer app🎶

4/5LIKE IT—but WARNING. I beg you to read this, unless you want to be hurt. Badly.
Hello! The app overall is awesome and I connected with many, countless musicians. But there is also this person named Julie Mogan. "! WARNING: This person sent me inappropriate and disturbing images, made threatening comments, and tried to pressure me into sending money. I am a minor and felt unsafe. I have reported this user to my parents and the authorities. Please be extremely cautious if you interact with this person. I do NOT recommend working with her." Do not work with Julie Mogan. She seems nice and friendly. But the second you move off the app everything goes sideways. It’s only been two days and I am already traumatized. Please. Do not work with her. People who work on the app, I beg you to remove, block, and report her. Thank you. I just want everyone to be safe. Overall, the app is great.

4/5Plus & Minus
Very user friendly & detailed profile inputs. Overall, this is a cool app. However, filters aren’t accurate enough; even though they are very specific. Not every musician, composer, songwriter will be “one dimensional” in terms of skill set; or fall into one or two genre boxes… on purpose. Still, I recommend this app to anyone who is dedicated to connecting with like minded musicians/composers/songwriters, or people aiming to be visionaries to build something meaningful with others; using the universal power of music.😎🙏

5/5Met several professional musicians here
I am a working gigging Drummer in DFW and have used this multiple times to find members for projects or just to fill-in gigs, I like that the platform is free and I don’t have to pay to talk to other musicians!! great platform I’m glad to be on it in the early stages. Can’t wait to see what they do with it and hopefully they just continues to grow.

5/5I deleted it- it’s broken
I was willing to download cuz reviews seemed good but this app would not stop showing my location- I tried to remove it but it kept showing my exact address publicly, my account would not update any changes well and it just seems so poorly coded and broken
