Great concept, mediocre execution

I’ve been using Vampr since close to launch. It’s a really great concept, and I’ve met a couple cool locals with it. However it is unbelievably clunky to use. They now seem very focused on monetizing and adding new features, but the basic features (swipe, view profiles, messaging) don’t even work all that well. Hoping that the additional features keep them going but wish they would focus on making it more functional. I won’t even consider paying for the premium/extra swipes with how awkward the app is to use.

Does nothing for normal everyday people.

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 rap sound powered by a major label. WHERE ARE ALL THE NORMAL UNDERDOGS!? Very frustrating experience.

Hi there, sorry the app didn't meet your expectations :( The reason we ask people to enter bands is so the algorithm can work off that information and curate a discovery feed of people with the same vibe and energy. You can input any musician or band, big or small, who have a Spotify account and if you can't find them we can always add them manually. We do appreciate this feedback and hopefully in time we can get the formula just right. In addition if you'd like any help we'd be happy to lend a hand, you can reach us at support@vampr.me :)

Bad execution

This app is a great idea and as a musician I was really excited to start finding people to potentially collab with. Unfortunately it falls under the category of social media apps where it’s so uncommon to actually get a response that when you do it’s already incredibly lucky, and then you have to hope that they’re near you, or like what you like, or don’t ghost you after responding to your first message. It just makes it extremely difficult and that’s not necessarily the apps fault but idk. I haven’t had many problems but I’ve seen people say it’s extremely buggy and glitchy and I do notice that every time I open the app. I personally have not had any luck meeting people and trying to collab because they never answer me 😂 all in all I love the idea they were going for but there are things to fix.
