Just updated yesterday and I cannot find the filter button. I have specific ones that I use depending on where I’m at and now I can’t find any with this new UI.

It is what it is but, most people are probably looking for something you don’t have to pay to find gigs for. If you just want to find/apply to gigs for free this is not for you.

As a teen model/actor there are less jobs available on this platform, but it’s only my second day using it…. So this isn’t a permanent rating. Once I see more options or start getting jobs that can change.

do not offer a free trial if it isn’t free. that is outrageous and now i can’t download any apps because i didn’t have the funds for it (luckily), but now i also can’t update my apps. WTF

edit: No it didn’t end, lol. This app literally used incorrect phrasing and advertising. Do not recommend, it’s all paywalled, and the app itself isn’t that revolutionary to do anything. They’re lucky I didn’t have the funds, but if I did, i’d be disputing.

Backstage is pretty cool I have seen a lot of things that I can relate and act for without an agent and to build a resume to get an agent after also some agents might see your profile and contact you and what I love about this app is that this app is for beginners like if you are good at acting you could save money the go on other platforms which is great if you want to be on tv shows and most agents want you to have a website because mostly everything happens there. SO YOU SHOULD BUY THIS IF YOU ARE SERIOUS OF BECOMING AN ACTOR. ALSO ALL THE PEOPLE SAYING ITS TO EXPENSIVE BECOMING AN ACTOR IS EXPENSIVE SO IF YOU REALLY WANT TO BECOME AN ACTOR YOU WONT CRY ABOUT THE PRICE YOU WOULD SAVE UP FOR IT?

I’ve had a pretty easy time using the app, except for when I try to filter by location. Each time I open the sliding scale for selecting distance from a specific location, the app freezes and will not select any option. Even when I close the filter option, the sliding scale remains on screen, regardless of if I hit the X to close it out. Frustrating for trying to find jobs based on where I am that day.

This Already Looks Good! Though 1 Question: Why Exactly Do You Need A Subscription To This App If You Wanna Audition For Something? Just Asking. Nothing Bad Or Anything.
Luis Alonzo Palma • Jan 19, 2026 ★ 4
Is so good just ask little to fake I sign up for two Roles and so far no response but I will give it more time but is a tell good app

App,website,emails that go right to trash. None work together. Fill out filter form every time you use the app is awful. Then then send me roles most nationwide and for the opposite sex. At this time I just want local stuff in Chicago. Need to navigate for an hour to find anything. Next time you open app, nothing is save as far as preferences. All nationwide jobs, which I’m sure is all this social media influencers. Will not be renewing.

The fact I have to pay for something that’s like indeed for new V/A but makes not the employers pay to promote but the employee to use the app I feel is a disgrace especially the prices that they offer

In 2026 everything that pushes a subscription is getting one star until they correct their business model.
GAMBLEWIN1 • Jan 3, 2026 ★ 5
Excellent ; trustworthy and professional.
Boring but fun game • Jan 2, 2026 ★ 2
Fun, but you have to pay and like make it free because a job isn’t paying to be in a job. Please do something make it free. I love acting. I have been wanting to be an actress for two years now please do something.
