What reviewers actually said

Built only from these 120 real reviews (foreign ones translated). Superscripts jump to the quote here. Apple has no per-review links, so [ref] opens that app's reviews on the App Store.

1. [R3] nugs 3/5 · US Web Play Broken: Playback through the web has been finicky for years. Mobile app works well. Sad that ReListen is free and works better. Reconsidering the purchase of nugs
2. [R7] nugs 2/5 · US Ugh: App drops 12 times a day.
3. [R16] nugs 1/5 · US Poor developer choices: The developers decided to implement widevine DRM, so it can’t be used on most daps. On my iPhone, app doesn’t do gapless consistently, hangs, buffers, doesn’t resume properly. Really poor design.
4. [R18] nugs 3/5 · US No search option for Apple TV: The app is really awesome on the IPhone, but what gives with the lack of functionality using Apple TV? You can’t search and there’s no choice between watching and listening. Pretty lame as I was excited to pay $25 / month to watch a lot of great concerts. However, I’m not interested in watching everything on my Iphone. I guess I could airplay, but why should I have
5. [R12] nugs 3/5 · US Video Only Shows?: $14.99 a month is similar to Netflix, Disney+, etc streaming services that provide video… The fact that there are shows that are only video is unacceptable. Makes me wonder why I pay what I do when I can get most of the same shows on archive for free. Yes Nugs has better sound, but come on! This is a forced upgrade to an unreasonable price range. I am such a fan of the service a
6. [R38] nugs 1/5 · GB Never worth it: I get second tired of things like this pay for expensive earbuds to get this to be 360 sound and there’s nowhere where you can experience it for free. It’s some bloody scandal.
7. [R42] nugs 1/5 · GB Rights issues means purchases no longer play on the app: Spent a reasonable sum on Springsteen live recordings and now they will play back on the app due to “rights reasons”. Never had that experience with things like Apple Music or Amazon. No refund. Discourteous (indeed rude and dismissive customer service). Avoid. Untrustworthy in my view
8. [R44] nugs 1/5 · GB My library: Have brought 27 Springsteen shows, and happily listened to them, however now they are unavailable in my territory after I payed for them and listened to them in the past!
9. [R4] nugs 1/5 · US Stop making me review you every day it's obnoxious: Good
10. [R10] nugs 1/5 · US Stop asking me for a review: Stop pestering me for a review
11. [R13] nugs 1/5 · US Should’ve been 5 stars: Great great app. Cant believe all of the great music on this app. Definitely would’ve been a 5 star review but Nugs keeps asking me to rate it and apparently rating it 50 times is not enough to stop the never ending prompt.
12. [R19] nugs 1/5 · US Stop asking for a review: For weeks now I’ve been asked for a review every single time I open the app. Annoying for sure
13. [R6] nugs 3/5 · US All goose, all the time (for the most part). Otherwise great quality app.: Look, I like Goose as much as the next guy, but lately the majority of the livestreams are Goose. I wouldn’t have bought an annual sub had I known it would turn out to be lacking variety to this extent (maybe this will change in the future?). Also, the AppleTV app, while great quality (bravo for that) seems a bit limited
14. [R9] nugs 3/5 · US yeooo: needs better search and could be nice to have some more musicians or concerts etc otherwise solid for my top picks tho
15. [R46] nugs 2/5 · GB Not worth the cost: The idea is good, the quality is good (Only tested HIFI) - however there isn’t a lot of content, certainly not from bands you know! Only a few 360’ audio choices too. It’s very expensive for what it is, I have a 30 day trial with new Sony Headphones, needless to say I won’t be continuing.
16. [R48] nugs 2/5 · GB Not enough: Not enough artists if it wasn’t for Metallica I would definitely not have got this app
17. [R1] nugs 2/5 · US No “Sort” option for Playlists: The only way to sort/arrange songs in a playlist is by manually dragging each song, one-by-one, from the very bottom of the playlist where they’re added up to wherever you want it. If you want to sort alphabetically (Artist, Song Title, Album/Show/Venue), Recently Added to Playlist, or most importantly: Date of Show; you’re out of luck. Given the live music angle of
18. [R15] nugs 3/5 · US Offline: Can’t save for offline play.
19. [R21] nugs 3/5 · GB Good for streaming: Works well and the audio quality is good for streaming. Without a subscription, it is limited. It would be good to have the ability to download shows you've purchased (rather than just stream) and to get better iPad support. It would then be worth 5 stars.
20. [R34] nugs 1/5 · GB SCAM! Can’t cancel Subscription after trial 💀: It doesn’t matter about how good the app is or what it does if they give you a trial and have no in app way to cancel. They push you to cancel your subscription through the App Store but it won’t show up there. There is no connection to customer support so you’ll have to contact your bank to stop the transactions. A complete con strategy for an app th
21. [R40] nugs 1/5 · GB SCAM: TL:DR: SCAM, FAKE “7 day free trial” The app promises you a 7 day free trial at every step, however you will be charged their bloated prices immediately. If you want to go with their free trial to test the app like me don't even bother as your money will be immediately taken. To top things off the music selection is as small as their morals. I don't know if the owners are so starved that the
22. [R53] Live Nation 3/5 · US Great Deals and Presales: I have paid a lot less for tickets this year than I could have ever imagined using Live Nations app.
23. [R55] Live Nation 4/5 · US Staind Concert Tickets: I love the fact I got to Oder the Tickets… I can’t wait to go it’s going to be Amazing 😎
24. [R58] Live Nation 5/5 · US Love Live Nation: Such a great way to document my concert experiences! I love this app!
25. [R86] Bandsintown Concerts 5/5 · US Always ahead: I love seeing concert announcements ahead of the rest. Gives us a jump on planning our concert selections year over years
26. [R66] DICE 5/5 · US Amazing!: Really easy to use app with amazing customer service that replies quickly even on the weekend! This is the best way I have seen to hold tickets, share them or sell them to another concert goer!
27. [R68] DICE 5/5 · US Great: Easy to use
28. [R70] DICE 5/5 · US SEAMLESS: Dice is AMAZING, I wish you guys could put Ticketmaster and the rest of them out of business, the technology and Customer Service is so prompt and seamless. I love it. I love it. I love it!!!!!!
29. [R72] DICE 5/5 · US Customer service: Luis and romel in the customer service are are phenomenal, I was very fortunate of them getting my refund due to the venue’s behalf, not dice but they were extremely professional and made it a priority of getting back with replies handling the situation!
30. [R80] Bandsintown Concerts 5/5 · US ): love this app!! it keeps me up to date on upcoming concerts!
31. [R83] Bandsintown Concerts 5/5 · US What’s happening at your Fingertips: Not a huge concert goer but certainly three times a year. Love that I can simply check Bandsintown to see what’s available, what’s coming up and ask it to send me a reminder. I feel confident I’m getting accurate information.
32. [R89] Bandsintown Concerts 5/5 · US An App that keeps me up to date. Painless!!!: I’m a music guy that wants to stay up to date with my favorite thing in the world!!! Love it !!!
33. [R94] LivePhish 5/5 · US Great Upgrade!: They just made it $150 / year and get to live stream all the shows! Lovin’ in!
34. [R97] LivePhish 5/5 · US Cpatrocks: Live Phish is the best streaming service since the days of Yore.
35. [R99] LivePhish 5/5 · US My review: Best app for the best band
36. [R101] LivePhish 5/5 · US Great App: If you love Phish, it’s pretty self-explanatory how awesome this app is!!!
37. [R108] Relisten 5/5 · US Holy Grail for live music: The best app esp for deadheads. Endless live music.
38. [R111] Relisten 5/5 · US My favorite app ever: This app gives you access to every show on archive.org. If you are into live music, you must get this. No cost, no personal data mining, just an amazing app to help you build a library of the best available live music. You can even download shows for offline listening. I can’t say enough good things about this. Thank you to the team!
39. [R114] Relisten 5/5 · US Awesome: This app is the best. I’ve been reliving my youth listening to old shows. And it has the one time I saw Jerry live which is just simply amazing considering that it is 35 years old. Thank you.
40. [R50] nugs 1/5 · GB Too expensive: This app is essentially charging you for something you could find online easily. The library is also misleading as they don’t have anything when you click on a artists name. Absolutely stay away from.
