1. 4/5Not bad

   I am very new to this I’ve had DistroKid for about 3 months and honestly have you ever looked up how much it is to push a song to the radio no one starting out can afford it so the money I gotta pay I see is right now I will say the enhance audio I don’t like because it purposely makes your song softer just to pay to make it the original but as far as not getting paid I have not cashed out but I have earnings and that’s just a couple months of haveing it uploading over 15 songs to multiple different platforms where as I could not do it threw anyone else the most recent reviews are kind of mind boggling given how great of a time I’ve had I’m haveing some trouble right now with my account but I feel it can be fixed easily and will be soon but I think there’s some stuff they could do better on but overall I love the app.

2. 3/5PLEASE fix your billing system…

   On the 22nd of May this year, after I released my demo album, I accidentally clicked on something to update my subscription. I did not want to do this, but it charged the card used for it (it didn’t go through, and instead charged for an entire annual payment for the plan I was already on). However, instead of staying the way it should have, it started claiming that it needed to have the card verified again. I already contacted support a countless amount of times and they told me to wait a week before they could remove the pending authorization so I could continue to release my music, and so I have waited, and it still tells me the same thing every time I open the app or the site. I continue to get emails regarding the card as well, I got one on the 23rd, the 26th, and the 29th! PLEASE fix this system… I really don’t feel like waiting any longer than I was expected to. My grandpa, who owns the card used for the subscription, is just about ready for a refund… :/

3. 1/5Terrible Customer Support

   3 years ago I Purchased the base $25 subscription called “musician”. For the next year everything was fine. But when it came around to the next year I got charged $90. I emailed them telling them I got charged for the wrong subscription and asking to fix it. It took them about 3 weeks with back and forth emails to finally correct it and give me my money back. It really messed up my situation at the time. The next year they charged me $90 AGAIN. So I emailed support and went back and forth for another couple of weeks until they eventually fixed it. This year my card gets declined AGAIN For the same $90 charge. I am a solo artist. I don’t need the ultimate subscription. I have multiple friends that also use distrokid and this has never happened to them before. Why is it just me. Why can’t they just fix my subscription to the one i originally purchased. If I canceled my subscription. I would have to pay $30 PER SONG and $50 PER ALBUM. How many years does this have to happen for them to eventually just fix it and give me the Musician Subscription like i originally wanted?

4. 1/5“Editorial Discretion”

   I’ve been uploading music for a few months. Singles and a few concept Albums then with no warning my music gets stuck in “processing” for weeks. I email to clarify, and am told that I have to find a new distribution service due to “editorial discretion”. No warning, no pathway to fix said issue, and no clarification on to what that issue even was. Since then Ive emailed three separate times trying to get some information or clarification as to why after multiple months all of a sudden my account is frozen. Asking if there is a work around, if Im able to use my other artist slots being as I paid for Three Artists but only ever utilized One. Then asking if all my services are essentially being blocked will I be able to get a refund for the remainder of my subscription. Nothing, no Email back for over a week with three different contact attempts. The only thing I got back was an email asking me to rate their customer service for an issue they didn't even attempt to resolve. 1 star until something changes. Give them zero is that were available at this point.

5. 2/5Reliable until you hit a bump

   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 distrokid 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.
