Rodeo: Your Social Sketchbook

I recently downloaded Rodeo Club, created an account, and connected everything successfully for. This was my first time using the app. I attempted to purchase a small amount of Rodeo Coins through Apple Pay, and my CC was charged, but the transaction never completed. A loading spinner appeared with the message “this will take a few seconds,” and it never finished processing. After closing and reopening the wallet, it still showed “spending” and “waiting for tokens.” I waited several minutes, restarted the app, and then found that my account had been moderated! My profile is moderated and I can’t do anything with it! I have not posted or interacted with any content beyond what it made do in the first 5 minutes of set up, I only attempted a coin purchase. I have reached out to support via email and X, but so far no response for multiple days. I was genuinely interested in exploring the app and its features, but at this point I am unable to use it in any way.

Rodeo is one of the only social apps that doesn’t immediately drain my soul. Posting feels good, and collecting is fun and rewarding, because you’re supporting likeminded creative people. The other day, a creator I had just discovered DM’d me, thanking me for my support. Can’t remember the last time anyone on social media did that! 🫶

I collect a lot of physical items from creators that I like and Rodeo is the first time I feel like I can do that online in a super easy way. The quality of creators is great and I can see what other people are collecting so finding new creators is much easier to do compared to other apps.
