Great!

Has solved almost all of our band’s operational needs.

Great App

I’ve been using BAND for about six years now and I’ve never had a problem with it. It’s very good. It works good. All of my parents love it.

This app is begging constantly

It's always sending out a notification breeding you make more band groups in it. Yes, flooding he with useless notifications will make me want to create more bands so I never know if my phone is actually notifying me for something or if you're begging for more usage.

Pain and suffering, but for fun!

All in all this is a very good app. It allows easy communication between the band, and the posted reminders are very helpful for this like video assignments.

Simply, the best!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I've used a number of communication platforms over the years, and BAND has been the best fit for our homeschool community. It keeps everything organized in one place with announcements, calendars, files, photos, polls, and comments all tied to individual posts, making information easy to find later instead of getting buried in a text thread.

One of my favorite features is how searchable everything is. Whether I'm looking for an event, a document, or a conversation from months ago, I can usually find it in seconds. It's also a great way to build a lasting record of our activities and resources that families and mentors can refer back to throughout the year.

For groups, clubs, classes, or homeschool communities, BAND has simplified communication while reducing the number of emails and text messages everyone has to keep track of. It has become an invaluable tool for helping our community stay informed, connected, and organized.

Bad update

The new update is not helpful. The format is very hard to see when people sign up on a pole. You cannot see their names underneath their sign up. You can only see your name. I use BAND for multiple groups and this is not helpful at all. Please change it.

Stop Changing the Look

If it’s not broken, why change it?

The latest update is terrible and unnecessary. There is no value in repeatedly changing a tool that already worked, especially for an app meant to support all groups.

I’m autistic Level 1 with OCD. I rely on this tool for executive functioning. The last 3 to 4 updates have caused major issues, and this latest one is the worst.

Please bring back the previous look or give users the option to opt out of this disruptive new layout.

New calendar sucks

Change it back. It’s terrible now

Connection and friends!

I was in band for the first time in my 8th grade year and I didn’t really make much friends. I was a very silent and shy kid but on BAND, I feel like I am connecting with so much people and I feel really good about it! With me going go to high school, this means a fresh start on friends, but with BAND, I can make friends really easily and it doesn’t make me as nervous!

Easy to Navigate

I enjoy Band because it’s easy to navigate, add information and schedule things using the calendar!

Band app is the best

I love it so much! I constantly tell my team and coaches how good this app is and I have such a fun time using all the different features and implementing them into my teams daily life’s like the attendance sheets, and money request plus the polls! All the features genuinely are useful and it’s making my captain life way easier I’m glad we use this app now! We use band a lot and I’m its biggest supporter thank you!

Seriously, The Best!

Band is based. The interface is great and feature-rich. They value privacy. The support faith groups. Stellar all the way around! As long as Band sticks to these values and characteristics, I’ll continue to support them.

Used for years

I use this for me and my husbands day to day scheduling, as well as my work schedule. I cannot believe how many features it has and cannot recommend enough

また改悪…

以前からiPhone環境下での使用で不具合が多発してます。
(Android端末では不具合は起きません)

2015年ごろの仕様のままで充分使いやすかったのに、アプデでどんどん改悪されていっています。

29.0.0のアプデでグループごとのカレンダーが見やすくなったのはいいものの、新しく予定を投稿する際の仕様が改悪されました。

今までは予定を入れたい日付をタップして、予定投稿すればその日付に設定された予定が投稿されて楽でした。

今では、どの日付を選択していても投稿ボタンを押すと、結局は日付を手動で合わせなければならず、予定投稿の表記も大きくなりすぎて不便です。


このアプリの開発者っていつもどんなことを考えて仕様変更しているのでしょうか?

こんなわざわざ不便にしていく開発陣が運営するアプリは信頼できないので、もっと使いやすい代わりのアプリを探します。

New updated view

Very difficult to navigate for my members. Please bring back the old view! We hate it!

Horrible updates

Why do they keep making this app worse? First they remove calendar view. Now when I click on an event I have to click edit to highlight and copy any of the information. I just want to open the event and copy the address so I can paste it into my maps. Not click on the band I want to use (when theres only 1), click on the date, click on the job, click on edit, THEN be able to finally copy the information. So many extra steps for no reason.

Nice

Really good band use app

Great Business Communication Platform

This app has been a great way to communicate with my team for my small quick service restaurant (QSR). For those who work and who have ever worked in a QSR, we know how out of control communication and updates can be. I have looked for a platform like this for about 2 years and I have found it! This app is easy to use and so effective (and fun!) in getting the word out. It’s great for team newsletters, for taking and tracking polls and events (it has a way to RSVP) and is great for keeping track of multiple “pages” for different purposes. Highly recommend for small business owners looking for an easy-to-use and effective way of communicating with staff!

Great for group communications!

We use BAND for our community theater productions. It’s been great for committees, casts, and production teams. We love it!
