Backstage scammers review

I have discovered multiple scammers on Backstage in the past few months and reported them all to Backstage. Backstage emailed me back very quickly confirming those cases were indeed scammers. I was then searching Backstage for information about scammers, and it was there discussing what scenarios could be potential scammers and they were extremely similar to what I just experienced. Because of Backstage’s detailed information about possible scammers, I can spot the scammers now and report them without hesitation. Each time Backstage has responded quickly that the reported entity was a scammer, and that they have been removed from the Backstage platform. It’s great to be part of an organization that takes this type of thing seriously, has the information to help you spot scammers, and then removes them immediately so they can’t scam anymore. Great platform, great customer service.

Hi there, thank you for looking out for your fellow actors and reporting any suspicious messages/users to us! We're happy to help. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns at customers@backstage.com.

sooo much better than clash ,

Good starting point- somewhat

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.

Hi there, thanks for your feedback! The subscription was mentioned in the "Preview" section before you download the app, but we understand if you missed it. Backstage.com offers casting opportunities for actors and others in the film, television, and theater communities. In order to best support and maintain this service, users need to purchase a subscription in order to be able to apply to the casting notices posted on our site. This is not unlike other sites that offer access to castings. If you have further questions or feedback about our service, you are welcome to email us at customers@backstage.com.

LOVE w/ minor inconveniences

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.

Hi Magnolea, thank you for your helpful feedback! If you haven't already, can you email us directly at customers@backstage.com with an example of some of the issues you mentioned (skills rearranging on the app vs. website)? We'd love further feedback on your other suggestions as well. Thanks in advance!
