User Reviews

Top positives: the app keeps users current with music news and the metal scene and is widely seen as a solid, impressive daily-driver app. The dominant downside across reviews is intrusive advertising—pop-ups, banners, and ads that disrupt reading and can block interaction (like the load-more button). Other concerns are minor accessibility requests and occasional loading glitches, but the ad experience is the prevailing issue.
Pros
  • Keeps you updated on music news and band announcements; many users rely on it as a daily driver.
  • Considered a great, reliable app for metal/music news; users are impressed with its quality.
  • Widely seen as a long-awaited, solid app that delivers music news.
Cons
  • Ads are excessive and intrusive, with frequent pop-ups that disrupt reading.
  • Ads sometimes block UI elements or interfere with navigation (e.g., load more button) and cause glitches.

The amount of and length of ads are ridiculous. I’ll delete the app and just bookmark the website.

I feel like I downloaded a 90’s ad spam website with none stop pop up ads… trash IMO like loud wire, but I will stick to the radio thank you

I remember a year or so ago when this app was the best thing in my phone. Now when I want music news all I get are ad after ad. Try to open up an article, an add pops up. Try to read an article, ads are at the bottom. Needless to say I will be looking elsewhere for my music news from now on.
