What reviewers actually said

1. [R1] 5/5 · US Can’t live without it: Love me some nugs! Keep the live music flowing!
2. [R2] 5/5 · US Nugs: Definitely spot on for all your favorite bands you can’t see or travel too. Scratches my itch
3. [R23] 5/5 · US So worth the subscription price: Nugs has really blown me away with how the range of music & recordings offered. I can listen to shows I went to in my little college town from 10 YEARS AGO. Love the modern world of music apps & nugs is tops
4. [R36] 5/5 · US Love It: Fantastic sound and video quality
5. [R3] 5/5 · US Worth it: This is the best idea ever! I’m so much happier just listening to all the shows I want to go to instead of feeling like I can’t afford the tickets and travel
6. [R44] 5/5 · US Don’t miss out!: Livestreams alone are more than worth it. Catalog is cherry on top. Clutch for couch tour!
7. [R50] 5/5 · US I use it everyday: Jam band fans dream app.
8. [R9] 5/5 · US Great App: All my favorite live music, easy to navigate.
9. [R49] 5/5 · US Great app/Service!: Easy to use. I’ve been listening to every Metallica show starting from the beginning, and I can easily swipe forward to get to the next show. I’m not normally into non-metal, but I do love checking out the live shows, especially Billy Strings. App dev has been responsive to my questions. Highly recommend this app and service.
10. [R55] 5/5 · US Nugs 🔥: Rejoined the Nugs community and zero regrets. Excellent user interface and sound quality.
11. [R13] 1/5 · US Stop making me review you every day it's obnoxious: Good
12. [R19] 1/5 · US Stop asking me for a review: Stop pestering me for a review
13. [R20] 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.
14. [R24] 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
15. [R17] 2/5 · US Ugh: App drops 12 times a day.
16. [R22] 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.
17. [R133] 1/5 · US Terrible: I log in with SiriusXM and it logs me out every 5 mins. Worthless
18. [R142] 2/5 · US Hasn't been working the same: Videos constantly skip, even when it's recorded not live. Really isn't what it used to be, lots of problems. Super annoying especially since you just doubled my price
19. [R18] 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
20. [R98] 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
21. [R145] 1/5 · US Can we finally get an app for streaming video?: Crazy to think they can’t be bothered to provide an app for Roku or smart tv’s. The only real option is to airplay or hook a computer up to your tv. AirPlay always glitches and for the amount they charge I shouldn’t have to drag my laptop into my living room to watch a D&c livestream I paid close to $30 dollars for on top of my subscription fee. Gr
22. [R148] 1/5 · US Wth: I love nugs but wth don’t you have a search button on the Roku app 😞
23. [R77] 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
24. [R119] 1/5 · US Rest in peace bob weir: Constantly raising the price live every other streaming service. Made a tiered subscription service. Completely strayed away from the community that is tied into live music and it being shared.
25. [R153] 1/5 · US bait and switch: I did not use my nugs account for several years because I bought live shows and then they would become unavailable after time. I signed in yesterday and was offered a 7 day free trial. I clicked on the offer and was charged a month’s fee. Tried to cancel and it was not an option. The seven day free trial offer was not honored and now I am stuck with a month when I wanted to see if
26. [R162] 1/5 · US To expensive: To expensive. Got a year for $19.81 . Won’t ever pay more than that !
27. [R5] 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
28. [R79] 3/5 · US Offline: Can’t save for offline play.
29. [R239] 2/5 · US Still such a disorganized mess: So disorganized! I don’t know how it’s possible for Nugs to still be such a mess after all these years. Why is there no way for my favorite shows to be separated by artist? Right now every show is listed in one long window. Why can’t I just tap Phish and go to a section of JUST Phish shows that I’ve favorited? Why are ALL favorited shows lumped together in one list?
30. [R241] 1/5 · US Great Content. Lousy Delivery!: The technology used to run the Nugs.net app is a dinosaur at over 10 years old. The availability of video is sparse at best. 80% of the Artist lack any exciting content…most content is old, stale and available elsewhere. There are some really good shows, but they are VERY HARD TO FIND, since the search function is worthless. I’m will not be renewing this service u
31. [R109] 1/5 · US New update is horrible: WHY did you change the CarPlay functionality so much? When I select an album while plugged into CarPlay, I cannot select a song manually anymore. It starts every album and play list from the beginning. I have to go on my phone to choose a song from the album which is far more dangerous when driving. Seriously considering canceling until this is fixed.
32. [R152] 1/5 · US Misleading: I bought a live album off their website - I just wanted the one album, no subscription. The website allows this. Great. But when I went to download it in Safari, it said “mobile browsers not supported”. This is misleading. They are choosing not to allow downloads. Whatever, so I download the app. I open the app and sign in and there’s my album. When I hit the download button it shows
33. [R170] 1/5 · US Not enough to our membership: I find it incredibly annoying that you advertise certain bands (ie Tedeschi trucks) yet hardly release ANY of their shows. Also, the “free” streams that come with membership disappear after 24 hours? Why? I’m not gonna renew.
34. [R184] 1/5 · US U need to change things up!!: I keep on seeing the same bands streaming on your site? Just running through concerts and festivals out there. You could be getting rock pop and country festivals out on your site. Getting those well known 90’s and 2000 bands may interest me to subscribe
35. [R21] 5/5 · US Great: It would be 1000 times greater if this review would stop showing up every time I go into the app to play my music
36. [R101] 1/5 · US 8$ app: Half the shows they advertise aren’t available
37. [R144] 3/5 · US Like & Gripe: Overall satisfied. I Like as much as I Gripe . Service and price could be better . But also could be worse. But I recall the day when I got almost everything I seen and heard at a festival for free. Now I pay and sometimes don’t get it all or can’t . Would like quicker access. But livestreams are cool…if they work and are not glitchy . Switching out promotion rate like c
38. [R37] 5/5 · US Great but need to add player for google nest audio. Works but not well: Great but need to add player for google nest audio. Works but not well
39. [R34] 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
40. [R269] 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.
41. [R278] 3/5 · CA Issues with downloads: I got the downloads. But unless the app is open all the time (eating battery) it just shuts off mid song. Constantly wants me to join streaming… I just want to download a few shows and listen to them:)
42. [R187] 3/5 · US This Could be Great: I really wished this worked on the Apple TV. It’s not worth $20 a month for concerts on my phone.
43. [R176] 1/5 · US Scammers: Absolute trash of a company. 49.99$ a day to watch dead and co 60th on top of subscription fee. Now they dupe subscribers into thinking they can listen to the audio for free but its another 14.99$ a day for only the audio. These people are whats wrong with the industry. I cant wait to pirate their content.
44. [R190] 1/5 · US Total scam: They charge you for a membership and then you still have to pay to watch? Screw that, no thanks.
45. [R191] 1/5 · US Scam: I purchased the “all access” package for fill access and exclusive live streams only to still have to pay $35 more to view the zeds dead live stream. Sooooo what exactly does all access mean????? Anyways I will be cancelling
