HIT Live Performance

Awesome app. Great way to connect to the Ballroom community in LA. I hope it spreads to other cities.

I don’t understand why this app exists. I wanted to buy tickets to see a local show because that’s the only way they allowed it. The app does not allow you to PREVIEW ANYTHING it’s has to offer up front. It only gives you an option to sign in or make an account. Not even an option to sign in as a guest. This feels very sketchy. To sign up you have to give them your email, then to create a password the app does not allow Apple to generate a strong password for you. As if that wasn’t enough you then HAVE TO choose a profile picture, then you HAVE TO verify your email by clicking a mysterious link sent to you. Mind you this is just some unknown app asking all this of you. Then once you think you’re in, the app REQUIRES YOU to turn on location services so it can “find shows near you.” Bro, I already knew the show I wanted to go to! Why do I need to constantly give you my personal data just so I can get tickets for some indie show??? Guess what? After all that the show was sold out anyway. All of this could have been avoided if we could just preview the app before making an account. My brother in Christ, just let us browse what shows your app has to offer first, and if we find a show we want to go to, we can then sign up and get the tickets. Pointless.

There’s a handful of events near me I wouldn’t have been aware of weren’t it for this app. Good tool for community-building.
