Problems using smule

[[Member sdr…]]

Smule has no grouping of recordings. If you sing 50 thousand songs, all the 50 thousand will be in a long list with noway to see the recordings below the top 1000. You can scroll down but tghe scrolling is unacceptably slow. Moreover if you tap on a recording and come back you will be again at the top. Again scroll down to find the next recording. The app does not remember scroll positions. The same happens when you scroll down thru hundreds of invites. The app shows the top almost always when coming back to any list.

Gifts purchased and sent to other singers are not prominently displayed on the song page. One year ago gifts were seen moving one by one below the song when playing. Now it is hidden in an almost invisible link Gifts. The only reason for gifts seems to be getting money from the users and not showing them to the singer who received it. How selfish!

There are no timestamp on recordings. They have some crude logic to show times in seconds, minutes, hours, days and months. At the top of the list it sows 10s, 2min etc... further down hundreds of recordings will show 2months. No way to find out when exactly you sang a song. Again below these they will show 2years. Smule has no idea how a singer would like to see the songs time-stamped. Why can't they timestamp each recording? Moreover why can't they show recordings like in a blog separated into different dates?

When an invite is expired they show a large negative number with minutes attached to it! What do they want to convey from it?

There is no way to tag your followers as a favorite or not. If you follow someone all invites are dumped into your notifications whether you want them or not. Why can't they allow one to mark a singer as favorite and include only that singers invites in the notification?

The all-important question of whether a singer is following you is not available nowhere except from a list of Followers. On the song page they don't show whether the singer is following you. On an invite page also no information on whether that singer is following you. Makes you think that none of the people involved with the app uses it for themselves!

Worst, on the Followers page they tag every singer as Following! as if that information was not available in the title itself. They should have marked whether that singer is following you instead.

Their Messages feature is in the jurassic days. You cannot even erase a message you typed inadvertently. This is the best way to alienate your friends by typing something you just didn't mean at all. It is very much a cemetery wherever you scratch bones come up of your year old messages! You cannot even say a Hi here confidently!

It’s such a minor issue. I don’t understand. They removed the time stamps before and then put them back.  Now, they’re gone again. I agree. There should be a time stamp on all recordings. The app is never consistent. Never has been and never will be. I wonder if there may be a tug of war of power behind the scenes. I wish the ones with common sense would win. 😂
