  • Almost a 5 but Needs a Few Additions to Get it There

    Wonderful and dependable play back. A great app for discovering and supporting upcoming and indie artists of every genre. My only issue is a lack of a loop/repeat option for an album or song you have purchased. This would be extremely helpful for constant replay of short and relaxing albums/compositions in my library. A shuffle option would be nice too but less important. Otherwise great app, layout, and user interface.

  • Great app, but...

    If it weren’t a Bandcamp app I’d give it a lower score. I love Bandcamp and have used the app as a method to access the music for a long time. However I have recently been experiencing strange audio glitches, regardless of if I am on data or wifi. These glitches include random skipping of audio like a scratched cd as well as the audio seemingly going out of sync with itself, and only when the screen is turned off. Once I turn on the screen the problem fixes itself, until the next time I turn off the screen.

    Otherwise the app is very easy to use, and a fantastic way to find new artists. Rarely do I go looking around on the Bandcamp app and not find something to put on my wishlist.

    That said, please fix these problems in the next update!

  • Really good

    I really like this I cam listen to good music that isn’t on iMusic but I wish I could pay with funds I have on my phone
  • Great service, bad app

    Love BC and would like to make it my go-to place for buying and listening. Unfortunately, neither the mobile device or the desktop is geared to managing a large collection. BC claims to have some sorting features, but they are undiscoverable (by me, anyway). As a result, I’m stuck with scrolling through a 200+ album collection.

    Worse, it is difficult to change a password from the mobile apps — the link never arrives or BC simply won’t allow a change. It would be one thing if the app stayed sync’d to the desktop, but it doesn’t—too often, it doesn’t recognize a password that I know is correct.

    Finally, their support is poor: They may get back to you in a day or two, they may not. No chat, no ticket number, no phone support.

    BC is a great, necessary service, but I can’t justifying buying more from them until they offer a UI that allows management of large collections and until I can reliably access the app.

  • This app is so hard to use

    And it craps out all the time
  • Collection not appearing

    I love this app but for some reason, the music I purchased isn’t appearing on my account, despite appearing on my phone’s safari and on my computer when I’m logged in. Could be because I used a gift card, but I’m not sure...
  • Fresh Music For Everyone

    This is the first app I’ve cared to review ever. For those of you looking for new music from underground, independent, or popular, whether your taste is hip-hop, rock, or electronic, this is the app for you. To me it’s great because there’s such an enormous and fresh selection, and it for the most part is free! Best selling artists are constantly changing, there’s always someone new to listen to.

    The only reason I give four stars, is because I’d like to see more promotion of the lesser selling independent artists, which is hard to find. Also because, I add a lot of music to my wishlist on here, and it gets significantly harder to find. I just hope they end up organising that.

    It is an amazing music app otherwise, highly recommended. Good job guys!

  • Great, as an artist and fan I love the website.

    Although I started of with the website and thought it was pretty neat, I tried the app. The app is useful and intelligently created but I really want to download tracks with ITunes credits from my IPhone. that would make it easier and faster then starting up my PC and downloading a new favourite track.

  • Great App On A Smartphone For Playing Purchased Music

    I think there should be a way to search for artists and purchase music through the app on a smartphone, but you can always go to the website on a phone to do that. I would like for the app to have a repeat (one song, entire album) and a shuffle button on the player. It would also be nice to see the lyrics for a song while playing it if the artist uploaded them to the website. Then I think the player would be perfect.

  • Great app For Supporting Artists

    Pretty sweet deal. I can buy piles of music from Bandcamp and support the artists I like, plus access an abundance of music wherever I am without having to trade out Mp3s off of my iPhone 8 because of space issues. I can also listen to songs off my wish list as well, at the artist's discretion which is very cool.
    The ability to be able to search all of Bandcamp for artists, songs and add to the wish list from the app is awesome and very convenient. Love the fact I can access my wish list now and be able to stream whatever songs I like instead of being limited to a featured track. Beyond the fact one cannot purchase from the app, I would say it does everything now I would normally have to do from the website. My only two big complaints are now it is mixing my suggested artists releases with the people I follow so I may have to ditch them because I don’t have all day searching for my artists. Also, isn’t it time for a real iPad app?? Other than those issues I like now getting messages from the artists about new releases or whatever.
