Major Highlights of the Week

Payment Issues
Users face difficulties with payment methods, particularly with credit card rejections, which prevent them from accessing services despite having paid for subscriptions. This issue is exacerbated by inadequate customer support, leading to user frustration and loss of trust.
Customer Support
The reliance on automated responses and lack of effective human support frustrates users who encounter issues, as they feel their problems are not being adequately addressed. This results in dissatisfaction and users considering alternative platforms.
I've been trying to resolve an issue for weeks, but only get automated responses that don't help.
Subscription Confusion
Users are confused by unexpected charges and unclear subscription terms, leading to perceptions of hidden fees and feeling misled about the service costs. This confusion often results in users seeking refunds or switching to competitors.
I was charged more than expected for a subscription, and now I can't get a refund.
App Functionality
The app experiences frequent crashes and slow loading times, particularly on newer devices, which hinders user experience and functionality. Users find the app less reliable than the website, leading to frustration and decreased usage.
The app crashes every time I try to upload music, making it unusable.
Account Access
Users report issues with logging into their accounts, often due to two-factor authentication problems or session expirations, which prevent them from accessing their services. This issue is compounded by slow or ineffective support responses.
I can't log into my account because the two-factor authentication isn't working.
Language and Localization
The lack of support for certain languages, such as Haitian Creole, limits the platform's accessibility for artists from diverse linguistic backgrounds, leading to dissatisfaction and users seeking other platforms that support their language needs.
I regret signing up because Haitian Creole isn't supported, and I can't release my album.
