I was excited to see there was a new music linking app added to the store. I’ve used the app “Vampr” for a long time and really enjoy it because of it’s location feature. Using Vampr you can find artists within a 20 mile radius of you. This app doesn’t have that feature. I can get over that, the only part I find to be annoying is the paywall. You can see everything, but it cost money to contact people? Isn’t that the whole point of the app? This is essentially a paid Instagram for artists. It’s really bold to even ask for $3 a month when their competitors don’t ask for a penny. It is obvious they don’t let you add links to your profile since it would encourage people to leave the app and talk on other social media. The feature to add links is available after paying a subscription. This app has a lot of potential, and could be worth the money if there was a reason to subscribe in the first place. It seems like their motto is to just collaborate with anyone and everyone. For someone who’s been making music for years and has already put their work in, I wish there was an option to be more selective when finding artists. Maybe group new comers in one pool, and professionals in another? This would make the subscription worth while because then you’d have the ability to work with people at your own skill level. This would then offer a feature free versions (competitors) of this app do not consist.

I saw this while I was browsing the App Store and freaked out, my main focus for a very long time has been to be a musician, to go to a music school, to be in a band. I though this would be the perfect app to get out and show my talent and maybe someone that could help me reach my goals would see me, Apple said it’s an app for musicians to get out there with... but uh..... there’s no musician on the callout list. I browsed for quite a while and figured out the app, signed up and all and then I wanted to make a video, looking for someone that can help! But the list consisted of DJs, producers, rappers, comedians, dancers, designers and models.....no musician? I don’t sing I play the drums and bass.. If you could add a musician or instrument of some sort that would be perfecto, I understand this is a new app but I just wanted to throw it out there ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Thanks.

RYSE does a good job of connecting you with the right people. As a musician, I find myself often focusing too much on the craft and not enough on getting out there, making connections, and doing the ground work. RYSE has a collaborative aspect to it that allows artists to connect with each other and create a space for people to build together. Something I’ve always appreciated was collaborating and getting together with the right people. You naturally stand out if your stuff is good which is both motivating and encouraging too. The developers are also accessible and responsive which means your concerns don’t go unnoticed, like many other apps just looking to make money off you and disappoint you with a buggy program and useless functionality. So big thanks to RYSE. And you can’t beat that price either.

Been using this app for a few days now and honestly I think this is what every artist needs. Through the “callout” feature you can find so many different opportunities whether it be a rapper looking for a producer to collab with or a brand that needs music for their upcoming commercial. You can also send out your own callout when you need something like a feature for a new single for example. I also really like that you can connect with videographers, A&Rs, managers etc. This app is pretty cool and has a lot of potential and from speaking with some of the people behind the scenes they’re working very hard to improve this product and make it the best it can possibly be.

I really think this app could have been a great tool for me to use as an educated, talented, and experienced vocalist who is SERIOUS about finding important people to work with. A lot of things need to be added, though, to make this app a meaningful experience. For instance, simply searching for artists by location. If I’m in LA, why would I want to see callouts from people on the east coast? You should be able to pinpoint/filter things much more easily. I can’t upload media to my page, only photos of myself. That’s great, but what can another artist really tell about me from photos alone? I can’t see who my fans are as almost nothing on the app is actually clickable as a hyperlink. I know this app can be great but you really have to incorporate the feedback from these reviews if you want something worthwhile. Please do because I like where this is going!
