Doesn’t work as I expected
codestr85
I am a former user of the brilliant Shows app which was decommissioned and thought this was a suitable replacement. A few things don’t work as I’d expect. First, there are no push notifications. I can’t be bothered to open the app on a regular basis to find out about shows, make the machine do that work for me. I’d pay for an in-app purchase or even a subscription type deal for that since I’ve missed countless shows since Shows app was offline since I can’t tell what is playing. Second, it does not really show you your own artists’ shows, it pads that list with additional SIMILAR artists and there seems to be no way to filter that out despite the confusion tabs at the top of the list. I like Bat for Lashes, I hate Melissa Ethridge. Don’t try to guess, just show what I bloody listen to. Third, the design is very poor, and I’m trying to be nice. The mixed font styles (serif and sans-serif) not to mention somewhat inconsistent UI could use a lot of polish and rethinking. In all, this app has a lot of features but I personally don’t think most apply to me, although some might. Unfortunately the lack of notifications are really a requirement since I can just as easily go online and check for shows rather than use an app so it would be nice to be alerted. Also, the riffraff of “similar” artists is impossible to do away with and I can’t find the shows I’m interested (you know, the ones in my library).
Love it

Well worth the cost to get customized event listings based on your personal music library.
Slow, and too much noise
Stvnash
It is really slow, and gives a lot of false matches. The interface to get tickets is also clumsy.
Always a bit short

This app is still the best for discovery compared to songkick and bandsintown. In this app you can hear artist previews, see % likelihood you will like the band, and add the event directly to your calendar. However, the app is still behind the competitors that have last.fm integration, notifications, and much more modern and better UI design.
Could be an easy 4 stars but....

1. Crashes regularly 2. Takes forever to scan and update list.... Then crashes. 3. Did I mention it crashes. 4. The idea is a good one. Find and fix these bugs ASAP and I'll re-review. 5. User interface is weak but acceptable...if it didn't crash all the time Guess I'll need to look for another app that allows creating a list of favorite venues. Bummer. All the data is there.
Can't access Google

Said it can. It can't. 403 forbidden. Would be nice if you could get your money back.
Crashes on startup

I loved this app before, would have given it 5 stars. But recently, after last update, it crashes every time when it initiates Deep Search on startup. I am running iOS 9.3.3 on an iPhone 6.
Not worth the $2

Had only 20% of the music listed that other apps had. Try local concerts by reverb nation.
Won't even open

I just bought this app (iOS 10 on my phone) and it won't even open. It crashes every time before opening. Complete waste of money. Stay away.
