Bandcamp Lifer
Better than spotify but so many glitches
Two glaring issues
I inly really have two problems. First, the shuffle function doesn't really work that well. You can only shuffle with the queue you already have so if you play the second last song on your playlist and press shuffle, your shuffle queue will just be the last song in your playlist.
Second problem is that you just can't edit your playlist cover image, just doesn't save.
Hope they change this cus I really love using bandcamp.
Love this app
Tarabesque
Cant log in on app
horrible bugs on ios.
One nitpick
Frustrating
compatibility
No dark mode
Bandcamp is great and you should be a customer during daylight hours
No better experience than this!
There's always something new to discover and you will most certainly be surprised by what you come across, hundreds of talented musicians from all over the country.
If there's and artist you happen to listen to, you need to purchase the tracks to jump back in on repeat, the artist receives majority of the portion and you can also dig into their collection of merchandise.
If you don't know where to find music, you can also tune into Bandcamp's radio music catalog, you just have to explore the app for a minute.
As of right now, this is my go to app for music
much blessings to everyone
Love Bandcamp, Loathe the app..,
Update. I take that back. Just tried to buy a couple of CDs. What a dreadful experience. Seems like the website has gone exactly the same way..
Love Bandcamp, Loathe the app..,
DARK MODE PLEASE!

I love this app, but needs improvement
Update: PLEASE DON’T TELL ME PLAYLISTS ARE DEVICE DEPENDENT!!! CAN’T FIND A PLAYLIST CREATED ON MY OTHER iPhone ON THIS IPHONE!
Cannot Change Shipping Address
Urgent bug fix needed.
Every time i have unfollowed an artist… the next time i open Bandcamp i am following that artist again. i keep notified about artists i don’t care about. i’ve tried signing out, deleting the app, reinstalling, logging back in and checking. and it is still happening! super frustrating bug. PLEASE FIX THIS!

please bring dark mode! we have all requested this for years and it never happens. no one wants to be blinded using Bandcamp. It’s been years of dark mode usage on practically every other app, but you refuse to give us options.
it is nearing 2027. modernize your app, please. for the sake of accessibility.
lazy development
The app itself, however, is just ok and oftentimes outright annoying.
It's taken over a decade to finally get to a point where you can buy music on the mobile app. Thankfully that was changed. But still, tapping a bandcamp link, within an artists post for example, will not open within the app, but instead in Safari. Maybe this is
so you don't loose your place in the article, but it's cumbersome nonetheless.
Have an issue with a purchase and didn't receive merch? Well bandcamp is going to make you do the work to sort things out and message the artist yourself, but you can't do that on the app. You instead have to move over to the desktop version just to get this done.
Instead of fixing basic quality issues such as these, we got a playlist and queue option. I guess this was inevitable and perhaps useful to some users, but it feels a bit out of touch. Almost like a ploy to appeal to people who are moving over from Spotify or Apple music.
One final note: I can't tell you how many times I've tried to search for something, checking and double checking my spelling, only to be met with "no artist found" or a bunch of extraneous results. Then by some mix of magic and mystery, I find what I'm looking for, but that required searching the label, a song, or just following a link from some other place like instagram / link-tree. But of course, that link doesn't open in the app either, nor is there an option to do so from Safari.
