Leave a Review Bandcamp
The genuine Music loving app
I love Bandcamp because it allows for high quality downloads (a must) and has so many good interesting new bands and artists in store !
Only downside: the scattered payments for each artist and currency when purchasing several tracks at the same time makes for too many bank charges. It’s the reason why I had to knock a star off my rating.Show lessF.swift
Virtually useless app
Bandcamp is great. This app is terrible. Try searching for an artist. Many times you get a moderate list of distantly related track and album results. So you click on an album by the artist you’re looking for if you’re lucky to have one. There’s no way to click through that to get to the artist page. The app literally blocks you from finding what you want. Skip this for now and just use your browser. But of course that has its problems too. Running it in background won’t advance to the next track without you looking at it. I love how technology is going don’t you? The future is limited by nonsense, not by capability.Show lessPodcastTownResident
Update works brilliantly
I had only ever used bandcamp from its website previously because the app really didn’t stand up to the same quality, but the reworking and redesign of it has totally fixed that, I exclusively use the app now. Keep doing what you’re doing!Tincan141
Keeps crashing
I use this app on iPad, I’ve had it for ages and never had any problems, but since iOS went to version 10 or 11 the app constantly crashes if playing music and, if I’m browsing through my library it keeps resetting to the top of the screen. This app is now virtually unusable for me, a real shame because I love itShow lessUncle kvlty
The Bandcamp app has an identity problem
Bandcamp. It’s the website where you buy music and support musicians that aren’t Top 40. It’s where you preorder albums by local artists. It’s where you buy merch from some indie band halfway across the world.
But, Bandcamp the app. Well... you can’t actually buy music here, even though you can on the mobile version of the app. But you can stream it. But you can’t manage it. Or cache/download it. But you can buy physical media.
So, is the app a media player? Because it does an OK job of that. But... it’s certainly not a library manager, so OK is all it gets. And it’s certainly not a store. And discovery is too obstructive to be useful.
It’s an app that is convenient enough to see what your library (what you’ve purchased, no playlists or filters or anything) is and play it back. Sounds like a great idea on mobile if you could actually purchase your music there. But, for offline listening, you still need to find a computer, download the tracks, and add them to iTunes.
Bandcamp - you guys can do better. I know you can. Define what this app is and what it can do. And let it be that.Show lessdougc84
Really easy to use
I’ve been using this app for a few years now. It gets regularly updated, but I can never see the difference. It’s always worked and it still does.
The one thing I’d change? When tapping on purchase information it never gives you the digital album price. This would be helpful. I understand that Bandcamp/Apple won’t let you purchase and download. That’s okay with me. But I would like to see the digital cost all the same.Show lessNorvern Munky

Love it
It’s always annoyed me how in most music stores you can’t listen to the whole track but no more with this app
I also like how you can comment on albums and pay what you like (as long as it’s above the set price)
Shame you can’t buy things directly through the mobile app but given that when you buy you also get a download file of the format of your choice I can see how that’d be tricky to implement in the app
I first found this website when I was looking up music from my favourite websites and since then it’s introduced me to new music tooShow lessIronMage
It’s pretty good
I’m going to be completely honest in this review, the only reason I downloaded this app was to check out Mars Argo’s music because it isn’t on Spotify (apparently it used to be) and only three videos are left on the YouTube channel. I used the desktop website to stream Mango Angle, and I decided to try it again. It works fine for listening to music.Show lessCarrotsForNose
App is bare minimum of function
I love buying albums on Bandcamp but really an starting to hate using the app. The issues with the app become more apparent the larger a collection that’s accrued. This app desperately needs better search, filter, and organization tools. It also needs to have general technical issues straightened out, like the way that it often thinks it’s offline and won’t allow albums to be played until the app is restarted, or is online but can’t seem to load any tracks from a selected album until restarted.
Summary: A great music selling service but offering the bare minimum of user experience in all the places it should matter most — organizing and streaming the collection that’s purchased.Show lessRTanger
