Things that are good about the Ujo platform.
The platform has a great web design and one can connect to other music artists and help them in there music career by sending ehter coin to them. Also, one can easily view his or her metatask wallet balance without logging into metatask.io. By clicking on Discover, you will get to see and explore various songs composed by various artists and also be able to listen to their songs.
The UJO platform, with all its decentralized capabilities and end-to-end market connections, promises to put the artist on the top of the chain, rather than the bottom, which could possibly become an incubator for the production of improved content for the public. With all the responsibilities transferred from the middlemen to the creator, customization of the platform becomes possible where artists can tailor the platform as per their needs.

Things that are not good about the DApp [Ujo Music]
Ujo music is monopolized by third party intigators and this gives way for illegal works and pirated distribution of the content of the various artists.
In Conclusion, Ujo Music helps to create a good communication link between various music artists that are on the platform and its hepls the artists to earn ether coin [ethereum]. It uses metatask crypto wallet as a means of receiving reward from the platform. It has a section for music collection whereby one can have access to various songs composed and posted by various artists on the platform.
