First off this is not a requested or a paid review. I just went to use this app again to capture a new song and they asked me if I was happy with it and I realized that I’ve made dozens of songs now with this service and hadn’t even said thank you. For someone who’s been independent my whole career since 2005, I’ve spent years relying on producers, then years learning how to produce when they couldn’t be relied on or got busy with life. I spent years getting folder of beats here and there, and had always loved writing over someone’s full or mostly full beat. But there would be dry spells where I wasn’t getting beats or being very productive on the massive task of producing a song from scratch. Beatstars is like a dream come true for the vocalist/beat maker relationship. I’ve found myself going back to certain producers here over and over. That’s normally really rare to find producers you instantly connect with and get song ideas for, so kudos to you all for making a platform that can connect us creatives and amplify everyone’s gifts.
Fantastic platform just one suggestion
Disney/piratefan
It’d be awesome if when I go into an artist’s catalog, scroll down, and play a beat they released months ago, that the “Playing Queue” would continue on from where I was in that artists catalog. I understand that this may be to show off the artists newest work, but often times i’ve already heard these beats and am simply perusing through their selection. It’s somewhat frustrating to then skip to the next beat and be automatically taken all the way back to the beginning (of the artists playing queue depending on what filter is applied), rather than continuing through the selection organically. I can obviously manually unlock my device, scroll through to where I was and pick back up where I believe I left off. However it would be a major boost to the factor of convenience if this wasn’t the case.
Stole my money

I marked my subscription to not renew a few months before the renewal date because you have to do it at least 3 days before the payment is run. They still charged me the yearly price and it is like pulling teeth to get a refund. I’m going to have to call my bank and report as fraudulent. The reason I do not want to renew is it is easier to sell beats on social media directly and my own website. There is way too much competition on BeatStars, and they force you to advertise. If you do not advertise you are never going to get plays or sales, furthermore, the pro plan comes with “free” pro credits which are basically worthless. You cannot control the way your ads appear so you just have to give them money and pray they show your beats to the right people. I’ve seen terrible results on beatstars compared to google ads on my own website. Most of the pro kits are either trash or so restrictive it’s not worth using them. And of course you don’t know that until you buy and download the kits and see the read me documentation. Get your own website to sell beats. drive traffic to beatstars and they will show others advertised beats to take your sales.
Where are the artists I liked?

There’s so many little tweaks that would make this experience SO much more user friendly. The activity feed is just the official beatstars account reposting tracks and none of it is the type of music I’m actually following. The only way to view songs from the artists I followed is to search them up every time I want to look, because they aren’t included in your activity feed if they haven’t released a new song and tapping on your following list doesn’t do anything. Like great I’m following 8 artists but what if I want to ACTUALLY go and look at those artists? I can’t because it’s non interactive, I have to search them manually every time from the search bar. It’s super annoying. And then even if you are trying to scroll through an artists songs there’s no quick preview, you tap on the song, it brings up the full music player, and then if you swipe to another song surprise it’s just an ad for another artist again. It’s like beatstars doesn’t actually want you to listen to the artists that you follow, just the ones they promote through either the activity feed or ads.
