It’s great way to get word round!

It walks me through the full process of selecting photos and choosing where to save them but then just craps out. Really frustrating! I’ve updated photo permissions and made sure the app is the latest version, but nothing. Please fix this, y’all. ### 5/5 — SO AMAZING *2026-08-20, version 30.0.0* Best way to connect with your group ### 5/5 — Helps alot *2026-08-19, version 30.0.0* Use this for my marching band and has been incredibly useful and friendly. Definitely recommend. ### 5/5 — Dance school *2026-08-18, version 29.2.1* We use BAND to stay connected with the different dance teams at our studio, and it makes communication so convenient! It’s a great way to share information privately while still keeping everyone informed. We can easily communicate about events, schedules, questions, and important updates throughout the year, all in one place. It has made staying organized and connected with our dance community so much easier!

I cannot accept an invitation from my university on IOS. I enter a verification code correctly and nothing happens. Aside from this, the app has a very confusing interface that is hard to understand. It is very frustrating and disappointing. ### 5/5 — This is the best app! *2026-08-17, version 29.2.1* This app has helped me through a lot of stuff to do with knowing what to do so it’s just a great app to have for your band ### 4/5 — 😔 *2026-08-17, version 29.2.1* I am unable to join public groups because I cannot find the search bar that's supposed to be at the main, I even looked at the Help Center. ### 5/5 — Hi *2026-08-16, version 29.2.1* The band app is awesome ### 5/5 — Band lover *2026-08-16, version 29.2.1* Band helps me to much I can make group chat with friends I use it for school and sports and it’s a liver saver thank you band ### 5/5 — awesome! *2026-08-15, version 29.2.1* this is a great app! i started using it for marching band and it has been great! it’s so fun that you can upload photos and videos to your groups. it is a little hard to delete your pfp so they start to pile up, but once you figure it out it’s pretty easy. you go to your one of you bands, click on you in the band, click the three dots when on you pfp, then click delete. tada! hope this helped! ### 5/5 — Band review *2026-08-14, version 29.2.1* I enjoyed it to the very fullest. It’s so organized. So thank you whoever invented this BAND app. 🥰 ### 5/5 — How band helps me *2026-08-14, version 29.2.1* Band helped me with my school club, TSA(technology student association) by letting me chat with my teacher and classmates asking where I need to go for competitions. I recommend band for any sport or club chatting app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Reviewing *2026-08-19, version 30.0.0* Very hard to sign in as a kid ### 1/5 — Won’t open *2026-08-14, version 29.2.1* App suddenly stopped working and responding. I uninstalled and reinstalled and I cannot even log in now. ### 1/5 — The worst *2026-08-13, version 29.2.1* There is too much happening in this app. There is no easy way to navigate and communicate with band leadership and other parents. It’s like a completely free for all due to the lack of organizing tools to help compartmentalize content. ### 1/5 — Flooded with Korean Advertising… *2026-08-11, version 29.2.1* Initially, I found it to be a valuable tool; however, it has recently been inundated with Korean language advertisements that are completely unrelated to the Band. As a result, the platform has become impractical. I am hesitant to continue using it unless absolutely necessary. I am perplexed as to why others have rated it so highly. ### 1/5 — Not the easiest *2026-08-10, version 29.2.1* It’s not the easiest app to use! Chats get lost, post don’t go through all the time and the app is too clumpy. ### 1/5 — BAND app is impossible to navigate *2026-08-09, version 29.2.1* The leader of our organization sent me a link to the BAND app, but the app feedback rejected the invitation. When I established a password, the BAND app subsequently called it invalid. When I finally successfully changed my password, the BAND app insisted that I enter a 6-digit verification code, but then I received no code for 15 minutes. ### 1/5 — Flooded with Korean Advertising… *2026-08-05, version 29.2.1* First, I used to find it useful, but recently it's suddenly flooded with Korean language ads that have nothing to do with Band, so it's become unusable. ### 1/5 — User beware- especially if you have kids *2026-08-04, version 29.2.1* I’m assuming the majority of users use this app to organize their children’s activities. Before you do- please know that there is little security. No support if your account gets hacked. No accountability. Role the dice and use this app. ### 1/5 — Band *2026-07-24, version 29.2.0* this app is so insanely laggy. It has taken me all day today to submit 4 videos. And if someone else sends in a video, it’s laggy or it doesn’t play. Like I hate this app so much. I wish I could give it a 0 star. So so frustrating ### 1/5 — HACKED EASILY *2026-07-24, version 29.2.0* I was hacked in July and they told me I could expect them to review it by 09/04/2026… my kids summer camp pictures and information is on here and their school sports information…. Not a safe app. The hacker was able to change my email, password and phone number within just a few minutes completely locking me out! Not to mention that creep now has all my kids information yet they’re treating it as no big deal!!!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Organized *2026-08-23, version 30.0.0* This is a very good app and it really organizes everything ### 5/5 — Communication!! *2026-08-22, version 30.0.0* I love being able to talk to people in a safe and orderly matter 😁 ### 5/5 — Love band *2026-08-22, version 30.0.0* Band is so helpful and so easy to use for sports and other activities it is so easy for communicating to your teachers and coach’s ### 5/5 — ❤️❤️❤️❤️ *2026-08-22, version 30.0.0* I love it!!!!!!!😍 ### 5/5 — GREAT APP *2026-08-22, version 30.0.0* Okay, I got band for my high school cheer team, and it’s a great way to effectively communicate events, plans, and to share routines. It’s similar to Instagram but for specific groups of people, and we can add things to group calendars and share videos and music for events. I totally love this app and it’s perfect for sports teams, clubs, or any other groups. ### 5/5 — I love it *2026-08-22, version 30.0.0* This app helps me slot with my kid’s football team and I let him use my account on his iPhone so he doesn’t have to ask me when he has football practice ### 5/5 — FeedBack! *2026-08-21, version 30.0.0* Amazing App for sports any type of sports!! 100% recommendations ### 5/5 — Band app good *2026-08-20, version 30.0.0* Band app good band app help me communicate for band me love band app ### 5/5 — Cheer *2026-08-20, version 30.0.0* Band is really helpful when you need to know the basics ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-08-20, version 30.0.0* Works well for my volleyball team and is free! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
