Leave a Review Bandcamp
The place to go to discover new music
What sets this apart from other music platforms is it’s constantly showing you new music and not just hyping up a select few. The music here is so fresh and different unlike the stale stuff you find on Soundcloud.Dvvbvcggb
Good content, broken app
I hate leaving reviews but i have to for this app. Im a web developer, i deal with apps for a living. So i know bugs are common and cant be avoided but sometimes theres no excuse and you just need to fix as much as you fan as fast as you can. This is one of those moments. The account activation emails had to be sent four times because all of them errored out when clicked immediately upon receiving. Also the profile image picker is broken, sometimes you can move an image or scale it to fit in the box and sometimes you cant, tried repeatedly with the exact same image every time. Also whatever is in the white frame that represents the boundaries of the profile pic is NOT what will be shown in the profile pic. Its almost always offset downward leaving a large extra space above the top of the image in you profile picture. I love bandcamp for the content it brings, and how it connects you with so many artists, but every experience with the app so far has made me want to throw my phone.
Willing to change my review when bugs are fixed.Show lessDominohthekm
A great app but
This is a really good app but it lacks the full Discover options that you get on the computer web version. This makes it really difficult to find the brand new stuff that isn’t already popular which, in my opinion, is what bandcamp is all about. If they update to full features this app would be perfect.Show lessGoonergoonergooner
How about a proper iPad app?
Fairly bad user experience, in an interface which doesn’t fit my screen. I don’t understand why there’s not a proper iPad version.trevgreenbank
Definition of a waste of time and space
Downloaded the app so I could listen to a friend’s song I love (and fully intended to rebuy, again) without keeping the web browser open. After listening to it a few times it locked me out of the song with a “time to open up your heart and wallet”. So I press send purchase link, and it doesn’t show. Meanwhile the web browser continues to work fine. Sent it to another account and 15 mins later the link shows. After I purchase it, it tells me it can’t even be downloaded to the phone. I go back to the app to stream it (I’m in the North Pole, I did this to specifically avoid streaming), and I find the purchase link I ordered from my account, has in no way connected the music to my account; it’s just given me files I can’t download, so now I’m two different types of locked out of the one song I did all of this nonsense for in the first place. And there’s no way to link the purchase, so if I want to unblock it, I need to get on a computer I don’t have and buy it AGAIN from there!
Naturally I go back to the web browser, and it works fine with zero restrictions, for free. Literally the definition of a waste of time, money and space. The only positive thing I can say is Bandcamp let me pay a friend more money twice without actually providing or doing anything themselves.Show lessKingKilljoy
Great, but crashes
I’ve been meaning to download this for many reasons, but never got the chance until recently. Bandcamp is fantastic in how you can directly support musicians and find music you can’t find elsewhere, but the app has a few problems that are hard for me to overlook: In particular, crashing issues.
I prefer listening to my music while my phone is off, but more often then not, the music starts out fine only for the app to suddenly crash and stop playing my music. It might work better if I kept my phone on while listening, but that’s a bit inconvenient for me personally. If the crashing issues are fixed up, though, then I don’t really have many complaints!Show lessdork.factory
Why?! Pushing you to buy too much which is causing bugs
I loved this app, it is a great way to stream and listen to some lesser known songs and albums by my favorite artists. It was working great and the occasional request to buy or support was fine. But it has now gotten to the point when every song I click it reminds me and thats not even the part I mind, because it alerts me I have to click to song again and it gets into a loop and I cant even listen to my song. I would love to support and buy the album but I don't have much money. So... as soon as they fix this issue this app will be 5 stars again but at the moment I cant even use it. I would love to be able to use and enjoy this app again. Please help. ThanksShow lessAnimal buddies 12345678910
It’s the closest experience to record shopping but online
I love this app, I love the way it supply’s art work and tracks for me to stream and listen on the go. Getting fresh material across multiple genres and it feels organic. Unlike other streaming services out there.
Requests to improve
When filtering genres I would like a play all - so it will Autoplay multiple albums not just the one release
Can we build a cart in the app so I can prep tracks I wish to buy? I appreciate you have many formats for sellers to accomodate but a basic cart would be great
Is there possibility of a streaming service for djs? I would prefer to use your platform over others in the market?
Cheers

Access Music Not Available Elsewhere!
The only reason I even know about this app is bc one of my favorite artists, Beast 1333, is purely underground. His release of a 10 year anniversary album (time flies bc I still remember Mouth of Madness and thinking “Who is this??!) came two nights ago. My local vinyl store was supposed to have the album. Didn’t. The purchase of one album got me access to (what looks like) his ENTIRE discography. If u love music and support individual creators of unique content - this seems to be THE app for that! Not only that but it allows the musician to stay in contact with their fan base if they choose to - which Beast 1333 does regularly and prides himself on. Every music fan should have this!Show lessBiteme1000
❤️Bandcamp
I’ve been a punter on Bandcamp for several years now, having originally been introduced by Tom Green (Another Fine Day) who was an early artist to take to the platform.
I like that the bulk of my payment goes into the pockets of the artists and labels. As a model for keeping a commercial edge to artist ‘product’ in these days of instant streaming it strikes me as fair, equable and sustainable, especially with the opportunity to buy the full range of formats from vinyl to streaming.
If I pay a pound or two more for a vinyl release than I might buying from Juno then so be it, the reward is in the continuation of the artists & labels I love and, whilst Juno and their like are often a lifeline for a DJ in a northern English city which does not cater for my musical tastes, the opportunity to cut out the middleman is irresistible.
Love the web site, love the range and, in particular atm, loving Bongo Joe label’s witty and wonderful eclecticism.
Keep on keeping on! xShow lessDrummieDave
