## What is DMB Hub?

DMB Hub from antsmarching.org: if you're a DMB fan, you must have this app.

The Hub is your home base. Live show alerts, daily DMB history, trending forum threads, breaking news — everything happening in the DMB world, in one feed. Open it daily to see what's new. It just works.

Tour Central is where it gets deep. The band's entire live catalog — every year, tour, song, venue, and setlist — built for browsing. Tap a show and you're in: setlist, stats, posters, fan photos, ticket stubs. Upload your own from the show while you're still in the parking lot.

Song details that matter. Tap any song on any setlist and get the full picture — how many times played, last performance, show gap, tour rarity, fan sentiment. On a live setlist, this is addictive. When was this song last played? Has it ever been played at this venue? How rare is this tonight? All right there.

Your personal stats. Log in with your Ants account and track your show history, attendance, and personal stats. See which songs you've never caught live, which venues you've hit the most, and how you stack up against friends in Head-to-Head mode — or the entire Ants community. Earn achievement Stubs based on your tour superlatives and share your DMB Story — a personalized narrative of your history with the band.

The Setlist Game. Predict what the band will play, compete with friends, and form leagues. Get your picks in from anywhere — no more rushing home before the deadline. Season standings, all-time stats, and bragging rights included.

Live Trivia. Test your DMB knowledge in real-time trivia events against other fans.

Live show mode. DMB Hub knows when a show is happening. Follow the setlist in real-time, place your ShowFlow votes song by song, and dig into stats as each song drops. It's the best way to follow a show you're at — or one you wish you were.

### 2/5 — GrI at resource for music

*2026-06-03, version 3.3.1*

New app update is terrible. It’s either too tiny to use or you open the player and the music turns off.

### 2/5 — Too confusing where to find things

*2026-05-26*

I would assume that this was constructed using an AI.  It is overly complex and hard to find simple live show information that was easy to find in the old app.  There needs to be some kind of tutorial for users who were using the old app.   Kinda disappointed.

**Developer response:** What’s confusing about a live show banner on the main page of the app when a live show is going on?

### 5/5 — Thank You, Little Thing

*2026-05-21*

So thankful for this app, I literally use it every day. Ya’ll are great. One small ask - whenever I minimize the app now and reopen the music pauses. Can you fix that?

### 2/5 — Great content stinky update

*2026-05-02*

Everything is so hard to find now. Every large button gives some type of song or show lore, but the small buttons are the ones controlling the music & those are too small and too close to each other. Tough to use if driving. Appreciate all the hard work but this update ain’t it.

**Developer response:** Tough to use an app while driving?

There is CarPlay and Android auto for music playback specifically for this purpose. Otherwise, put the phone down.

### 5/5 — The Best

*2026-04-11, version 3.0.2*

Everything you need if you are a DMB Fan.

### 2/5 — A fantastic source for shows bogged down by a confusing UI

*2026-04-04*

As most fans I’ve been using this app for a long time. And while it has needed a visual update for a quite a while, at least the UX behind it made some sort of sense. 

Now, with this visual overhaul, it’s incredibly clear that this layout and UX was generated by AI (looks like Claude specifically). For example look at the now playing screen. The only way to select a new song from the show you’re on is to scroll horizontally through a small list. Why is that pattern being used? What other music app has even done that? That is just one of the many examples of poor UX. 

As a designer myself I’m extremely disappointed with this and wished they had reached out to a designer to help flesh this out.

**Developer response:** You can expand the player card to show more songs.

### 4/5 — Latest update

*2026-03-28, version 3.0.1*

I was loving the new app but the latest update is too dark and small for my old lady eyes.  I still love it and will still use it.  I just don’t feel like it’s as clean and easy to look at now.

### 5/5 — Truly EPIC!!!

*2026-01-28, version 2.5.2*

Especially in the latest major rev, you guys absolutely nailed it!  In terms of usability, functionality, capability, adaptive presentation and pure awesomeness, this app is as perfect as I can possibly imagine!  My sincere congrats and thanks!!!

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-01-15, version 2.5.1*

Great app for all DMB fans!

### 5/5 — 5 two (Star) step vibes only

*2025-12-05, version 2.2*

The best app ever for any fan of Dave Matthews Band
