Reviews: What People Think About Backstage - Casting Calls
Magnolea
Rating: 4/5
I enjoy the app. Mostly intuitive and mostly aesthetically pleasing. Few suggestions:
- Being able to rearrange media order in app like on desktop.
- Skills rearrange out of desired order whenever I save on app, then edit on desktop. Quite tedious and frustrating.
- The dropdown for searching skills should have ALL skill options appear and only decrease as you’re typing. When a skill has subtypes (e.g. „Voice Style“ vs „Voice Style: Confident“), I would like for all subtypes to appear when I type „Voice Style“ to know my options. Unless this is intentional.
- Character limit for „About me“ inconsistent between app (500) and desktop.
-Keyword search functionality would be user-friendly instead of just the parameters and having to scroll endlessly.
- A „Featured“ Filter would be nice, unless I’ve overlooked it. Perhaps, this is intentional to give smaller productions a chance.
- Would help to have separate lists for „wishlist“/„watchlist“ and Saved Drafts. Having everything in the saved drafts can make it cluttered and not user friendly.

The app has a good interface, a decent amount of users that make it simple to find auditions in your area. BUT you HAVE to subscribe for a fee to be able to apply to ANYTHING, even unpaid roles. Unfortunately, being an actor means paying a lot already out of pocket for things like headshots, travel, etc. I'd gladly pay like $5/month for the convenience of the app but $20/month just to apply to ANYTHING is kind of ridiculous, especially for unpaid roles which means you won't make back what you spent on the app to find an audition, let alone be cast. I'll keep this app in my back pocket for a future when I can afford it, but for now there are other resources available for the same purpose and a cheaper price. Additionally, maybe it's just me, but it didn't seem clear initially that you needed a subscription to be able to apply for ANYTHING. It wasn't until after I filled out my profile, scrolled through the listings, and found something of interest that I found out you cannot apply to anything without a subscription. At this point I just don't see the cost equalling the value of the app unless MAYBE you're in an area with a high concentration of jobs. Sorry to the developers, I know you need to make money too and it really seems like a good app, I just simply can't afford it.

I’ve been using backstage for years now and the app has always been a little glitchy for multiple things. Sometimes my messages won’t send so I have to type them out 2 or 3 times and watch it to make sure the message actually sent. My iPhone is also no longer compatible with the app since the app requires the latest iOS, so thats annoying but I switched to just logging in online and using it that way. I like the app, it was fast and easy to apply to things, oh well, I have an old phone its probably my fault. But now the actual site isn’t working properly on every single one of my devices too. Right now when I try to look through projects it shows me only the really old listings, and I’ve tried adjusting the filters to showcase relevant/ newest material but that function is not working. It used to work perfect but for the past 2 or 3 days it has stopped. All of the new listings are getting mixed in with the old so its very hard to apply to projects now since I’m missing half of them due to this glitch. If this glitch isn’t fixed I don’t see a point in keeping backstage. It has failed me in now almost every single way possible. At this state its not useable. I’m done. And if you tell me to email customer support, I have.
