No Darkmode

It’s 2026, WTF! Add Darkmode!

Can’t login, can’t create an account

Downloaded an album to my iPhone, it’s disappeared, now u can’t create an account and can’t log in with an account it says I already have. Broken.

I go to CCYM summer camp I love the music

I love the music that Ian wrote

Dark mode.

Great app overall. But it desperately Needs a dark mode.

Not sure…

… why such a great service would have such a mediocre app. Maybe it’s the Apple of it all; the Android version is a whole heck of a lot better.

Please enable automatic app opening of BC links!

Bandcamp as a website/organization itself is a 5/5 due to being among the best at how artists are treated (AFAIK). However, this app itself leaves a lot to be desired as it too often requires manually refinding artists/albums rather than seamlessly opening the app from the website, as well as links in messages opening back in the browser instead of in-app.

REMOVED ARTIST I BOUGHT SONG FROM

Took app staff 3 days to get back to me. Offered no explanation for why they removed artist content and refunded my donation ti the artist. The people running bandcamp are censoring and are cowards!

literally the best app I have ever used

I love bandcamp

Now Bandcamp are now censoring artist

Boy George’s We Will Dance Again and his profile appear to have become unavailable, raising serious questions about freedom of artistic expression. If art that remembers the victims of the Nova music festival can be silenced, what message does that send?

Over 300 young people were murdered simply because they were dancing at a music festival. Remembering them should never be controversial.

Art should encourage discussion, not suppress it. If content is removed, platforms owe artists and audiences a clear explanation.

The BEST

The only music app I use

Search isn’t functional

there is content that does not show up when you search for it in app, which requires me to google around, and then sign into my account on desktop.

Great service, bad library

As a music app it’s pretty bad. It just sprawls all your purchased music on a single page and doesn’t have any sort of library function like iTunes or Spotify would. Very difficult to use on the phone, worse in the car

Love Jordan Rainer!

Lacks Flow, Annoying Use

This app is really annoying to use! I’ve used Bandcamp forever, but I hate this app. Why does it take 3 steps to add something to a playlist? Why does it just stop playing after you play a song?

It lacks any flow to listen to the music you’ve just purchased. I have hundreds of songs, it’s so time consuming to create new playlists or listen to all the new songs I just bought. I don’t like the shuffle feature to get around this because it seems to shuffle all the old songs in my collection first. Just autoplay from where you start! Shouldn’t be hard? I also don’t like how albums are hidden in a sense until you click on them, but not truly annoying like the other two high friction points.

These couple issues are the barrier to a truly terrific app. PLEASE CHANGE IT!

Error 429

I love Bandcamp but every time I’ve tried to get on it lately I get an “error 429”and can’t browse or play music.

Can’t buy music, can’t download music onto device

You can’t buy music in the app. Can’t download music to local storage to use a different player. Navigation is tedious when trying to discover new music even by the same artist. The organisation of your purchased items is a mess. It’s funny cause the app actually works it’s just all bad design choices.
I’ve stopped buying music on Bandcamp because it’s such a hassle. Occasionally they decide to not let you download your purchases because they say you used a different email when I only have one.
Wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t really support the artists as much as they promote they do

Search function is terrible

Lesser known artists can be unfindable on search. Please update so exact matches actually show up when you search.

Love Bandcamp, the player needs work.

I have been with bandcamp for a long time and I appreciate the slow but steady improvements to the player. I understand why rolling out public playlists is a good way to share outside of bandcamp, but I was hoping we could have seamless album playblack in app and maybe a shuffle button at the top of playlists. Those small features would elevate the app from "indie music sales platform" to something that could start to pull people away from the big streamers.

Well…hands down blowout!!!

Keygen Church…wow… best computer gen ever !!! Love the organ mystique… first time listener… Future listener

Hands down the best streaming platform

This is what music would look like if soulless businessmen didn’t co-opt human creativity into a business model. Bandcamp is real. User-uploaded, for free, direct support from fans to artist through merch and music sales, and the artist actually sees the money, not fractions of a cent. Bandcamp is incentivized to help the artists make money, because they only make profit from a small royalty on merch and music sales.
