Review summary

Users find 800Casting offers genuine auditions with a fair subscription price and responsive customer service. However, the app frequently suffers from technical problems such as failure to upload audition files, login issues, and navigation bugs. Many describe the app as clunky, outdated, and incompatible with certain devices, forcing some to resort to the desktop site to use the service effectively. While the content is appreciated, poor app performance diminishes the overall user experience.

Pros

The subscription fee of $50 per year is considered reasonable by some users.

The app can be used on computers effectively, even if problematic on phones.

Cons

The app frequently fails to upload audition tapes, causing frustration and wasted effort.
Users experience persistent login and registration issues on the app.
The app is buggy and not user-friendly, often sending users back to app stores or failing to open messages and castings.
The interface is clunky, antiquated, and difficult to navigate with non-functional buttons in key areas.

2019-11-09	A *****	Forced to use this terrible app because it won't let me just access the desktop site. This app is useless, like more so even than the actual site. The website is bad enough but this app is awful. Clunky, buggy and needlessly takes up space.

2019-07-30	A *****	The good news is that the breakdowns are legitimate. The bad news is the app and web portal feel antiquated and i not as user-friendly as they could be. While there's probably a way to filter roles, they're are way too many extra/background roles and not enough principle work. This app could use a rebrand and revamp using the yearly subscription fee they charge.

2019-07-19	A *****	When trying to upload auditions, it doesn't work on the app. What you have to do is save the video to your google drive and upload it on a computer. Trying to do it on the app doesn't work and it just ruins the memory of your phone.
