[Member sdrā¦] Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Smule gives two menu options when searching for invites for a song.Ā Most PopularĀ andĀ Closing Soon.Ā Both of these options are useless from the point of view of a person who wants to join an invite. The Most Popular invites will have too many joins already and it is highly unlikely that your join will be heard or appreciated. The Closing Soon option is also similarly handicapped. Your join will be at the end of the list and mostly missed by the opener. A better menu option would have been aĀ 'Just Opened'Ā option with invites listed in the latest first order. Selecting one invite from the top will let you join first or as early as possible. The opener is sure to notice your join that way. Anyone thinks in these lines?š¤š Ā Ā Ā Ā 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Member Duetā¦] Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 It used to be that way, that you would see the invites in the order they were opened, with the newest at the top. But then they changed it to show the āmost popularā invites instead. Iām sure anyone who has read my posts here would guess ā¦ I hate this! It results in hundreds of joins for the popular users, and no way for people to see and join my invites unless they go digging. One of the many reasons I donāt waste my time and money on vip anymore. Iām on board with you, and of course I have presented this idea to Smule, but they donāt care. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence I don't use the Invites section in the search results. Instead select Recordings. Most Popular and Most Recent are two options there and I always select Most Recent. It shows the joins first and the invites after them. It mixes the joins and invites from all singers. But it is far better than the Most Popular option. Another advantage is that you get an idea about the number joins from there itself. So you can decide whether to join or not. Ā 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the invites are always available for join now, there is no real advantage from a vip subscription. The invite notifications are useful only when you have a few followers. Otherwise who has time to scroll through thousands of invites a day? People search for a song they want to join or go to their friends' profiles to see whether they have any invites open. A vip account is not needed for either of these. As for me, I rarely open the Invites notifications. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Member Duetā¦] Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Thanks for the tip. I hadnāt thought of finding invites that way. I donāt often join random users now, only people Iām already following. But that will come in handy when Iām trying to find old invites I can sing solo. I usually just go down the list of āhotā invites looking for ones that are ā¦Ā not so hot heheĀ This is probably poor etiquette, but I used to switch accounts when I was overwhelmed by the number of invites I received, and unfollowed anyone who made too many invites. I donāt have that problem anymore. Sometimes I even make it through all the invites I have bookmarked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides what you mentioned, I'd love filters for geography (even by country) and least popular so I can join something that's gotten overlooked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Member My2Cā¦] Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Personally, I find songs by searching for a particular song, then I open and listen to the ocs. If I like what I hear, then I join that singer. Otherwise just scroll on and listen to another smuler. This is just a karaoke app, supposedly for destressing , not distressing.Ā 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes the top listed invite's singer would have stopped singing on smule. There won't be any one listening to your join. If that matters to you, select the Most Recent option and check the opener is still responding to joins. ššĀ Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The smule search is just a pattern search logic to list Songs, Invites, Recordings, Singers and Groups. The results are in Most Popular order almost all the time. One nice thing about it is that by entering your and another singer's name and searching will show you all the recordings you two collabed. šš Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I want to (as a example) simply find singers who've opened songs by the Beatles with video, it's not possible. I have to look up individual songs, click join and then I get a list for that song. It's weird.lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Upwork for a lot of business and I know Smule has CS workers in certain places who are paid to make the app look full.Ā I'm multicultural myself; my comment is absolutely not directed at any people. Just a style of account. I mentioned the Philippines because it's literally where one of the CS banks are located. Mumbai is another spot. Starmaker does the same thing.

That's all I ask.Ā I know the app has to look full, but great singers are leaving because they open an OC and nobody sees it.Ā I work really hard on my OCs and I very rarely get found by anyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
