Misleading

This app works just enough to show what it does then shuts you off behind a subscription wall. A very bad approach from the developer. Misleading at best.

Like most things in a shop, the full Bander experience unlocks after purchase. You can try before you buy - email hey@bander.live for a trial code.

Could be good but needs a subscription right away

tricked me into downloading , this needs a demo period , before I am going to even consider purchasing no way am I going to ever pay a subscription

You can watch plenty of videos of real musicians playing with Bander before subscribing. For a hands-on trial, email us at hey@bander.live and ask for a trial code.

Would probably buy it if I could try it first

After downloading the app there’s a long intro and just as I’m getting excited to try it, I get a screen saying it’s $10 a month or $60 a year. First of all I have no idea if it even works and you want me to pay up? And why the monthly subscription? How about $10 for good? This service simply isn’t worth what’s being charged and the bait and switch just builds resentment. Too bad, I was really looking forward to trying this.

If I could give it negative 5 stars I would.

OK, this is a terrible program. It has no awareness of where you’re at in a song. It throws symbols in anywhere. It wants it. It doesn’t really follow you that well. You slow down, you speed up, and there was for me. They just stole 10 bucks from me as far as I’m concerned. Also, I think it’d be much better if they made it to where you could use it without having to record it and you could set an intro by tapping your guitar or something like that, or say 1234, or let it tap out an intro for you once you tell it how fast you want to play. As it is, you might be playing for 10 or 15 seconds before it starts to join, and then it’s not lined up immediately, and frankly it sounds like a turd in my opinion. I wish they would give me my money back.

Sorry Bander missed your groove. Right now, once he locks onto a rhythm, he holds it (like a live drummer in a jam). To try a different rhythm, stop the session and start a new one. Thanks for the suggestions about tap tempo, count-ins, and intros. We’ll consider them for a future update.

Tricky does not free trial

I’d love to have tryed it before purchase but that’s how it gets you. Seems to let you download something to try advertising in app purchases and not buying outright when you click download but once you get the app it’s asking for 10 doller monthly subscription or 60 doller yearly subscription you don’t get to try it first before you buy it.
You just buy it and lose the money if you don’t like it I guess?

Fair point - we don’t offer a free trial yet. Before subscribing, you can watch plenty of real musicians jamming with Bander. Think of those videos as his audition tapes.

Can’t try before buy

Why can’t I try it out first and if I like it, I will buy it but with no trial version it’s a skip.

No free trial yet, but you can watch real musicians jam with Bander before subscribing.

Avoid

I’ve played with some poor drummers in my time but this is the worst by a long way!!

That sounds like a rough audition. Bander practices every day and gets better every week. We hope you’ll give him another audition after a few updates.

A long way to go yet

Occasionally it got it right but most times was way out of time and a totally inappropriate accompaniment. At £10 a month and after seeing the videos I expected MUCH MUCH more. Cancelled subscription on day one.

Fair point. Bander still has some serious rehearsing to do. Luckily, he never skips practice and gets better every week. We hope you’ll return for an encore after a few updates!

Something changed

I swear the last time I used this app it worked, but now it doesn’t seem to do anything without a subscription. I would be happy to support the developer with premium features or a one off purchase price but I just don’t need another subscription.

Something did change: Bander got a major update and decided that being a musician is a real job 😄 The subscription supports the ongoing work needed to teach Bander new skills and make him a better bandmate every week. We understand not wanting another subscription and appreciate your honest feedback.

Very nice

Worth it

Very cool concept and it’s really fun to use in practice. I feel like I could get really creative with what I was doing when it

Good but does not shut down when you stop playing.

Thanks for feedback. We’re working on improving this behaviour so it feels more natural and reliable.

Disappointed

Same style drum beat. Just slow and fast but no real variation. Long way to go on this one

Thanks for the honest feedback. We’re preparing a major update that will dramatically improve Bander’s musical variety and virtuosity. Hope you’ll give Bander another try when it arrives!

Waste of time

Tried this and it kept saying it could hear me even though I was strumming so hard the strings nearly snapped. The mic on the phone was working fine. This is a good concept but at the moment a total waste of time.

Sorry about your frustrating first experience. Bander has improved significantly since then, especially in hearing and responding to your playing. We’d really appreciate it if you gave Bander another try!

Great idea

I’m a professional solo singer/guitarist and I have to say it works quite well, it’s like having your own personal cajon player! Didn’t pick up the swing 6/8 feel but it’s still in development 👏👏
