Community rules
DISPO is available to people aged 13 and over. Harassment, threats, hate speech, sexual exploitation, illegal content, explicit nudity and fraud are prohibited. Only upload content you created or have permission to share, respecting musicians, authors and people shown in it.
Automatic moderation filters abusive text before it is published and can suspend or ban an account that breaks the rules repeatedly or seriously. User reports also allow the team to review photos, videos, messages and other content. Content that violates these rules may be removed, and abusive accounts suspended or deleted. Report the relevant profile in the app or email ludovic@dispoapp.net with the content and context. Serious safety issues are prioritized.
If you believe an automatic decision is wrong (content removed, account suspended or banned), email ludovic@dispoapp.net from the account address: every appeal is reviewed by a person.
Subscriptions and repertoire
Personal repertoire and public sharing, joining bands, answering SOS requests, messaging, schools, advanced filters, recurring sessions, custom reminders and Auto-SOS are free. DISPO Group (CHF 2.90 per month) lets you create and lead one band; DISPO Premium (CHF 6.90 per month) allows up to 6 bands you lead and adds up to 6 demo videos of 1 min 30 and the blue Premium badge. Both plans are monthly; Apple displays the price before confirmation. To recover a purchase on the same DISPO account, open Profile → Settings → Subscriptions → Restore purchases. Manage subscription opens Apple settings to change plans or cancel.
When a subscription expires, bands and repertoire remain saved. Your personal repertoire and its sharing settings stay free.
Account and sign-in
Use “Forgot password” on the sign-in screen if you cannot access your account, and check your spam folder. For other issues, include your sign-in email, DISPO version and device model — never your password.
Profile settings display your account status. SMS verification will be enabled later and is not required for now. The blue badge indicates Premium access; it is not identity verification.
Private messages, groups and media
DISPO supports text, photos, compressed videos up to 2 minutes and documents in private or group conversations. If an upload appears stuck, keep the app open, check your connection and try again.
The Messages tab gathers your private chats and your band chats. Your bands themselves (invitations, repertoire, dates) open from the Groups shortcut on the home screen.
You can reply to a specific message, react with an emoji, and edit or delete your own messages and media. Those controls do not appear in older versions of the app.
Notifications and app badge
The bell in the app collects unread alerts. In Profile → Settings → Notifications, you can set SOS, message and band alerts separately. If nothing arrives, also check iOS Settings → Notifications → DISPO, then reopen the app so the device can register again.
SOS requests and sessions
An SOS request shows the instrument, level, date, venue and seats still open. Every application carries a compatibility score (instrument, level, availability, school, styles and repertoire); the organizer can read the profile and message the applicant before accepting. Your own requests remain under “My SOS”. Upcoming gigs, rehearsals and jams live under Sessions; past dates move into history with their songs and attendance.
Syncing with your phone’s calendar is optional: turn it on in settings so your DISPO sessions appear in the calendar of your choice. You can turn it off at any time.
Reporting and blocking
Open the options menu on a musician’s profile to report or block them. Blocking hides the profile and prevents further conversations. Reports are reviewed to help protect the community.
The DISPO network does not use demo accounts: visible profiles are tied to real accounts. Automatic moderation helps filter abusive content; a banned account can appeal the decision at ludovic@dispoapp.net.
If anyone is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services first. DISPO is not a substitute for the relevant authorities.
Delete your account
In DISPO, open Profile → Settings (gear icon) → My account → Permanently delete my account. This removes the account and associated data according to our privacy policy. If you can no longer access the app, contact us from the account email.
