Kiwi - music with your friends 12+

I really like the concept of the app! Its cool and I like sending songs that Ive been obsessed with to friends and having them send songs to me that I might reference later :) I got to reconnect with some family and hear what they like these days so I love it—I think it’d be nice to see what songs they like and dislike. I dont see the purpose of receiving the notification of like/dislike if I cant even see what they liked or disliked. Takes away from suggesting songs that I think they would like and it’d just be cool to see (hence 4 stars). But overall great app and Im gonna keep messing around with it 🙏🏼

I really enjoyed using this app at first to send & receive songs from friends.. but the recent update has it now formatted like a dating app where it plays a short section of a song & then you have to swipe right or left to indicate u either liked or disliked it. You can’t even easily listen to the whole song or look at a list of all the songs your friends sent you like you could before, so whereas before it could be used to discover new music, now it just exists to rate songs superficially after listening to only a few seconds of them… really not enjoyable for me anymore. I don’t even see the point of using the app anymore if I can’t see all the songs my friends sent me.
If the developers are reading this, I understand that you guys were probably just trying to make it a more fun & streamlined experience or something, but you’ve kind of killed the appeal it used to have in the process. It used to feel like a way to connect with my friends over music & listen to new songs, now it just feels pointless. A lot of my friends who use the app have said they felt the same way, some deleted it. I would recommend bringing some of the old features back, or just reverting it to how it was before altogether.

I loved this app so much and used it almost everyday to get new music from my friends and to share my songs of the day. The UI was simple and easy to navigate, but each update made the app harder to use each time.

It wasn’t really a problem until they made the app look like knock off tinder, ridding the option of rating songs on a scale and instead just gave you the option of “good” or “bad”. Besides getting rid of the best part of having a music score on your profile, the app is straight up difficult to use and ugly to look at. I stopped using it once they implemented the dating app UI.

I never write reviews for apps but I have suggested kiwi to do many of my friends and we all had fun sharing our music in an easy and now I’m so sad it unusable now. This is more of a cry for help to bring the app to its beginner stages, where it was easy to send and keep track of songs.
