About KonzertCheck

What is KonzertCheck?
KonzertCheck is a concert diary app. You log every show you attend, score it out of 10, add the highlight of the night and your top song, attach photos or videos, and tag the friends you went with. Your reviews build a personal history of every gig you have been to, and a feed of what the people you follow have seen.
Is KonzertCheck free?
Yes. KonzertCheck is free to download and free to use, with no subscription and no paid tier. Ticket links to partner sites may earn us a commission, which is how the app is funded.
Which devices does KonzertCheck run on?
iPhone running iOS 16 or later, and Android phones running Android 8.0 or later. Download it from the App Store or Google Play. There is no tablet or web version yet.
Is this like Letterboxd, but for concerts?
That is a fair shorthand. KonzertCheck does for live music what film diary apps do for cinema: a rating and a written review for every show, a profile that collects them, and a feed of the people you follow. The difference is that a concert is a one-off event, so reviews also capture the setlist, the venue, the tour and who you were there with.
Do I need an account?
Yes, because your diary, your followers and your tagged friends are tied to a profile. You can sign up with an email address, or continue with Google, or with Apple on iPhone.

Rating and reviewing concerts

How do I review a concert?
Tap the compose button, search for the artist, and pick the show. Give it a score out of 10, then add anything else you want to keep: the highlight of the night, your top song, a description of how it felt, whether you would see them again, the tour name, what you paid for the ticket, and up to three photos or videos. Only the artist, venue and date are required.
How does the rating scale work?
Concerts are scored from 0 to 10, in steps of 0.5, so a show can be an 8.5 rather than forced to a whole number. Your profile tracks your average score over time and tells you whether you rate as Critical, Balanced or Generous compared with how you spread your own scores.
Can I log concerts I went to years ago?
Yes. Set any past date when you create the review. Plenty of people start by backfilling the shows they still remember, which is the quickest way to get a diary worth scrolling.
The concert I attended is not in the database. What do I do?
Type the artist and venue in by hand and set the date yourself, because a review does not need a matching event listing. Concert listings come from Ticketmaster, so a smaller show at a local venue may simply never have been listed there.
Can I add the setlist?
Yes. When you create a review you can search setlist.fm for the setlist of that night and attach it, then mark which songs were the special moments: the cover nobody expected, the song they never play, the one that made the room go quiet.
Can I edit or delete a review after posting it?
Yes. Open the review from your profile, tap the three-dot menu, and choose Edit or Delete. Edits apply everywhere the review appears, including in your friends' feeds.
How do I log a festival?
Create the entry as a festival rather than a single concert. You add the acts you actually saw, day by day, give each one a quick score out of 10, and the line-up then ranks itself by what you rated highest. Photos are filed against the day you took them, so a four-day festival stays readable.

Photos and videos

How many photos can I add to a review?
Up to three photos or videos per review. The limit is deliberate: three is enough to remember the night by, and it keeps the feed quick to scroll.
Why are my videos cut to 10 seconds?
Video clips attached to a review are capped at 10 seconds. If you pick a longer video the app opens a trimmer so you choose which 10 seconds to keep, rather than trimming it for you.
Who can see the photos I attach?
The same people who can see the review they are attached to. If the review is public, anyone can see them; if you set it to followers only, only the people who follow you can.

Friends, feed and privacy

How do I find and follow friends?
Go to the Search tab and search by name or username. Open a profile, tap Follow, and their reviews start appearing in your home feed.
What does tagging a friend do?
Tagging marks who you were at the show with. They get a notification, the tag appears on the review, and they can write their own review of the same concert in a couple of taps, so you end up with both takes on the same night side by side.
Can I keep a review private?
Each review has a visibility toggle: Public, or Followers. Public reviews can be found by anyone in the app; followers-only reviews are visible just to the people who follow you. You can change it later by editing the review.
What notifications will I get?
A reminder to write your review after a show you marked yourself as attending, and notifications when someone follows you, tags you in a review, likes your review, or reviews a concert you were tagged in. You can turn them off in your phone's settings.
Can I block or report someone?
Yes. Open the profile or the review, use the three-dot menu, and choose Block or Report. Blocking hides you from each other; reports go to us for review and repeatedly reported content is hidden automatically while we look at it.

Finding concerts to go to

Can I find upcoming concerts near me?
Yes. The Upcoming tab lists concerts around you, sorted by distance if you allow location access. Bookmark the ones you are interested in, mark yourself as going, and add the date to your phone's calendar.
Can I see what an artist is like live before I buy a ticket?
That is the point of the search tab. Look up any artist and you get their upcoming concerts alongside reviews of their past shows. Those reviews are scored, written by real people, and can be filtered to the ones you follow if you would rather trust your own circle.
Where do the ticket links go?
To the ticketing partner selling that show, such as Ticketmaster, Eventim or See Tickets. Some of those links are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission on a sale. It costs you nothing extra and never changes which shows we display.
