One of the worst parts of being a professional musician is the cost of auditions. Love that this app makes the process more equitable.

Tried to record my audition of High School All State and it ruined all of the recordings (except one which was my worst). I had to get them to reset my auditions and still, it didn’t save any of my recordings and it says that there is a “wifi problem” when there literally wasn’t. Glitchiest app award goes to “HeartOut” Show more

So we were doing an audition for a piano competition, and during the audition there was a disruption. We were able to contact the people from heart out via their website it was very convenient. They got back to us right away, and were able to remove the problem audition. Extremely helpful, great support, people were very nice. What makes this app outstanding is really the excellent support staff associated with it. Show more

Not only is this app easy to use, but HeartOut also has amazing customer service to help out whenever I need it!

This app is annoying. I have used it for two auditions and both times the app glitched multiple times causing me to delete and reinstall the app. The first time I made second chair and I’m still waiting on the results of my second audition so I’m not just salty. On my second audition though, it shorted me a response. I was supposed to have 3 responses but every time I tried to do the third one it kept saying “there was an error, try again.” I was going to delete the app and reinstall, but the instructions were clear to not exit the audition. Idk I hope my second audition did well. Show more

This app is the worst I’ve seen. It’s bette to do a YouTube competition.

Used this for the Missouri Solo and Ensemble, all worked decently, but if you didn’t know any better, You’d think I had a dating app on my phone. I mean, with the name “heart out” and the icon being a big heart, it really seems like I’m some desperate person looking for a dated but nope, I’m just submitting a recording for a music competition Show more

We used them for statewide festivals in Colorado and the app and customer service were amazing. Highly recommend! We will be using them again.

My all state was awesome! Thank you HeartOut!

My students loved auditioning. They could all do it from home and they all played amazing!

I recorded my students with no problem.

I’m so angry. Literally spent an hour utilizing the test recording, acoustics, etc. Finally time to record, following all directions from the tutorial and my teacher. Felt really good because the real thing was my best run through yet. Except for the fact that after all that, heartout decided to not save my audition. No I didn’t close out the app or log out or literally anything other than to tap the heart button to conclude recording. Figured that I would at least get to preview the recording but nope. It’s floating around in cyberspace somewhere and my head hurts too much to troubleshoot it right now. Never again Show more

Great App, Awesome and easy! Winning!

Not a user friendly app. Very frustrated with this app. And worst of all customer support is nonexistent:-( My daughter’s audition is messed up because they cannot help with a silly technicality! Show more

We have used this app for our music festival submission and it has been fantastic! If you can follow simple directions, it’s the app for you! For those that say it “doesn’t work” I can say you didn’t follow the instructions. Tech support was outstanding for the setup of our festival and response time to any questions was great. We had 500+ entries and we will be hosting again this way next year. Show more

Ideas for improvement: 1. If students have to submit more than one piece, please allow the user to see the code for each piece in the audition title. Otherwise it is very confusing. 2. I experienced problems uploading PDF files to the correct audition. The app seemed to confuse my scans and use them interchangeably with the auditions. Show more

I was very happy with the app. I had 47 students to record and submit recordings. I did most of these on my phone. What I noticed is that most of the issues we had were either user error or a phone that was an older phone. There are certainly a lot of directions to follow, but if they are followed carefully the app works great almost every time! I also had the opportunity to act as a judge this past weekend, so I could see the app from the other side. I was very pleased with how easy it was to use. I was able to judge on my laptop, iPad and my phone! Show more

This app gave all the hardworking music students in south Florida an opportunity to still okay their federation auditions even though it could not be done in person this year. I’m so ma y ways, it was perfect ! Very user friendly, had the ability for the student to relax in the audition because of having more than one opportunity to record and upload. After receiving the rating the student could download the recording along with the judges comments all in one file. And for the jurors, what a great opportunity to rate all the students on a schedule that was cost convenient to write well thought out constructive comments instead of being driven by the in person click schedule to finish all in one sitting. What a great program ! Show more

There is nothing as good as this app. It could not be easier to submit my violin audition, just record and upload to the judges. I honestly don’t understand the people saying negative things, probably they are not very good players... Show more

Used for state auditions - easy to use for any age, kid-friendly especially. EVERYTHING was listed step-by-step in tutorials. Customer service is lightning fast. We had 3 attempts (controlled by the judges, not HeartOut) which was great because I could listen back before deciding which to submit. People complain because they didn’t read instructions/watch tutorials provided... what else is new. I’d give it 10 stars. Great app!!!! Show more
