Vampr: #1 Musician Network.

I’m getting accustomed to the platform and see the potential, but in my early experience it seems like a lot of the useful services are paywalled. I don’t necessarily have an issue with an app/service generating revenue, as it’s often naturally the incentive, and, therefore, point of development. However, I do think there should be enough of a credible, established user-base and legitimate opportunities offered as a base tier, making it useful for everyone, with a paid tier being offered to those who want to utilize those services to a greater degree. This seems to be a more common and utilized model in apps that are successful. Give some to get some kind of approach. However, I am still familiarizing myself with the app in its entirety, so in the event that I have missed part of the picture, I will be sure to update this review. I see potential here, but think it could be further developed. I’d be happy to be proven wrong.

This app does nothing for regular people trying to find others at their level. I’m very busy at work and have very limited time and equipment and I’m just looking for some every day diamonds in the rough who don’t work in big studios, don’t have a silver spoon in their mouth, and have a compatible style to my own. I’d like the app to give the option to list and search skill level. Also I didn’t sign up in the app to waste my time worshiping famous and well known bands. This app is supposed to be for us underdog unpopular musicians to find others like us. I shouldn’t have to be forced to list those famous bands and have my news feed be littered with news about them. I don’t go to band classifieds to hear popular band news, that’s what a Google search is for. This app does nothing for the little guy. I’ve been patiently searching for like a year for any semblance of normal everyday diverse people who like to tinker with music programs, experiment with the instruments instead of always relying on samples, aren’t perfect at mixing and polishing, and just want to make art without being obsessed with sounding like some pretentious snooty popular band or same old watered down modern trap sound powered by a major label. WHERE ARE ALL THE NORMAL UNDERDOGS!? Very frustrating experience.

I like this app, it’s connected to me to some great people but I’m finding bugs. Sometimes the app stops working and the screen just turns white and it’ll be like that until I delete and redownload the app. When you accept connection requests on a profile, it stays as a request in your notifications until you also accept it as a request there too. If you click ignore in the notifications after accepting the request from the profile…it deletes the connection all together. Also I’ve been contacted by people pretending to be others, and scam artists as well. I report and block but I feel like it doesn’t do much. A suggestion I would like to see is that when you click report you should have specific options of what to report them for like harassment or pretending to be someone else for example. I will say that when I emailed support about my issue with someone pretending to be someone else, they were very swift and I appreciated their help a lot.
