The Dancer's Resource

I’ll start off by saying, I understand apps charging subscriptions bc there are expenses that come with developing an app, but I’m disappointed that everything but reading reviews is locked behind a subscription. Especially because of the app design. Before I created an account, the app made it look like that was all I needed to do to be able to access the dressing room and other locked features, so I made an account only to see everything still locked like it was before I made an account, except this time when I click on something locked, instead of telling me to create an account it tells me to subscribe to access. It feels a bit misleading as before I created an account, when clicking on locked features, it just prompted the sign up/log in page which makes it appear that that’s all that’s needed to access locked info. Once you make an account it will then tell you you need to subscribe to access those sections. Only thing you can do differently with an account that you can’t do without an account is writing reviews, so in my opinion creating an account isn’t worth it as it doesn’t actually offer anything but that.

The $4.99 subscription acts more like a glitch than a notification, once it pops up you’re totally exed out of whatever thread you were on, (this can be really annoying when you’re deep into one and have to find it again) and I had to click it almost 10 times for it to even register that I wanted to buy it. On the “clubs” section a grey box will regularly show up where the information is supposed to be, and if you try to scroll past it, it goes on infinitely! If you try to “skip” signing in it will put you in an endless loop of taking you right back into the sign in page without being able to view anything, so what’s the skip option for? I hope these things will be addressed, because other than that, this is a much needed and really amazing app for dancers!!

I just came to download this app after seeing a recommendation, however I was disappointed to see one of the first photos in the app summary promoting Deja Vu Hollywood and for this I’m dinging 2 stars off the bat. Not only have I been screwed over by a Deja Vu affiliate in vegas (LD) but I worked at Deja Vu Hollywood right before the pandemic, and after they went into lockdown I went in to pick up my paycheck and none of my dance money was on it whatsoever. They tried to say their computer didn’t mark me for any dances sold. This was a boldfaced lie because I always scanned my keyfob and the machine displayed my name and the green light, and then light went red when the time was up for each dance. Those clubs are an absolute predatory scam and they stole from me at the peak of a worldwide pandemic as I lost my job. It completely screwed over my eligibility for proper unemployment benefits as well since I didn’t make enough according to my paycheck. So I’m already seeing this app as untrustworthy. But I will still check it out and give 3 stars for the thoughtfulness of it.
