Krate: Rate Music 9+

Cool to see what people listen to and find new stuff! Would love to have continuous scroll when looking at someone’s profile instead of just looking at one and backing out to another.

This app made me excited enough to write my first review. I’ve been on Krate since it first launched and this has been my consistent way to discover new music, discover brand new contemporary music (artist releases day-of), and playfully or seriously write reviews akin to letterboxd.

The devs seem to listen to feedback that users share and update the app frequently with small, but significant changes. I think the app is still in a really great place right now— not yet fully realized it’s full potential with artist marketing, and user growth and scalability, but it will get there soon. This is one of the ‘couple’ apps that I have that I feel extremely confident will do well in the future. It’s pretty much like hanging out at the record shop and talking to the person behind the register recommending you music all day long. Get on it now and tell your friends!

I really like the idea of this app, and I enjoyed using it like a year ago, but I think I stopped using it because you can’t look up albums in the search bar.

If the devs are reading this, PLEASE make albums searchable, and have them able to rate or add to your Krate outside of the list of recently played albums. Having to play a song enough to have it showed up in your recently played to rate or add it to my Krate is very annoying, and it should have been first priority over making users searchable.

If this major oversight is fixed, this app will easily be a 4 or 5 star app, and one I will start to use often.
