Consequence

I’m anti-politics. I take no sides. But my god, if they can’t sneak in their agenda whenever they can. If they talk about an artist that strays red they make sure to bring that up at the end of any article about them. Saying things like (paraphrasing) “This artist was anti-vax” or “this artist supports Trump”. Blah blah. It’s blatant and obnoxious. I don’t want to read about their agenda. It’s a same because they cover a lot of great ground. But lay off the political leanings. Also, why the new app? It’s much harder to use and chock full of ads.

Combined, the Consequence and Bandsintown apps help me stay on top of newly announced shows, tour dates, and pre-sale codes. There's also a lot of great non-tour related content. There are three app performance issues that influenced my decision to rate 3/5 stars. •Continuing as a guest now presents the user with a dialog to update notification settings each time you launch the app. This is new behavior and wasn't present in earlier releases (to my knowledge). •After reading a story, talking the back button brings you back to the very beginning of new content. If you're in deep reading various stories, this is an inconvenience as you have to scroll and find your last location. •There have been multiple instances recently where clicking on a story does not open up the story you selected; it will open a different story. Similarly, there have been numerous times in the last two weeks where clicking on the share button populated the wrong story in iMessage and/or SMS. •I'd like to save read articles or bookmark them for later. This doesn't seem to be an option when browsing as a guest and it's unclear if creating an account or using an Apple-generated email unlocks this feature (if it exists). This app deserves a higher rating, which I will give when these quality of life bugs are resolved. Keep up the great work.

Love how I can follow favorite artists and festivals!! Enjoyed listening to podcasts and browsing.
