Reviews for Bandcamp

This is a review of the app – Bandcamp as a music distribution service gets 5 stars. The app lacks dark mode, gapless playback, and a cart system where you can add multiple items and check-out once (as is possible on the website.) Also, Bandcamp links clicked from messages inside the app need to open […]

Absolutely horrible that you can not delete anything from your library. Sometimes, artists have bundle sales, but that includes a lot of filler material that is lackluster that you wish to delete, but you can’t. So now you’re stuck with hundreds of albums that you’ll never listen to in your library that you have to […]

I love that I can directly support my favorite artists but… when i try to listen to music, the sound sometimes just stops working. The progress bar on the song keeps going, but there is no audio. When i move it back, suddenly audio again! Its irritating to try and clean while listening to music, […]

The Bandcamp app is ferociously uncool in a way that’s almost cool. No dark theme, just recently got playlists (also try out BNDCMPR for others’ playlists), barely any options… It’s really just a barebones app between you and a musician, and I guess, when you get right down to it, that’s what you want it […]

Terrible app. I cannot add things to a cart, I can only buy them one by one. The search feature is awful. I search for an artist, I get artist page/s, releases, and tracks, in not a discernible order; the artist pages only have music the artist themselves uploaded. Tracks from a release often appear […]

Sound quality is excellent, you can more directly support artists, and those are by far the best things about this app. It’s otherwise pretty bare bones and buggy. “New” features like song queues and playlists misbehave and stop playing between songs. I can no longer cast to other speakers using the app. This has always […]

Decent app, but I find it pretty difficult to navigate compared to the desktop experience, especially purchase options, viewing artist discographies, and browsing genres. Recently, I have barely used the app since the removal of cast support. In order to cast, one has to either cast all device audio at the system level or download […]

I love Bandcamp for directly supporting artists and have found a ton of great music just by browsing around. However, the app itself is pretty clunky compared to the desktop site. I cant add songs to playlists from the “now playing” window but rather have to do it from the album tracklist. The search function […]

Still very barebones with a lot of bugs. I still can’t copy and paste codes to redeem albums. The way it handled fan and artist accounts is so messy I don’t know where I’m buying from. Still no way to search my collection without searching the entire site. I purchased a couple of OSTs 8 […]

No issues with loading or playback. My main beef is that the listening history on your browser is not synced with the listening history in the app. If you have a large number of albums (I have around 700), it can be difficult to find what you’re looking for. In addition, there is no ability […]

I love this app, but I have been missing out since I started using the app to buy albums. The app does not have a cart, you have to pay separately each time. The app does not list all the music to purchase on an artist’s page. The BROWSER does this. So if you’re like […]

I don’t know why this app isn’t rated higher, I love it. Good interface, responsive, huge selection of great music. I ditched YouTube Premium so I needed an alternative for music. All my music I’ve bought is there and easy to download for offline play. I also really like the queue feature. it’s a great […]

I love the concept especially in a world where you can no longer own music, but this app is horrible. I purchased a few things and downloaded, but I can’t use the files on my phone to listen in other players. That has to be done on your computer then sync to the phone. A […]

I like the app and the prices in the store, but I really hope the devs do some sort of tooling to the app to make the music player more user-friendly. I mean, if you want me to download and play the music in the app, then the player should be easier to function it’s […]

I absolutely love this app! I joined Bandcamp quite a few years ago, and continue to buy most of my music here. I really like that most of the money goes directly to the artists. An awesome selection of ambient music and I’m discovering new artists all the time! I also love that, in most […]

I love Bandcamp and use it a lot from a laptop/desktop browser. The app, however, has problems. (1) The wishlist is not in synch — it shows all the albums that I ever added, including the ones that I’ve removed. (2) My collection shows albums that should be hidden, and in one case a duplicate. […]

App user for over 10 years, >5k items in my collection. Great way to discover artists and labels but no way to organize my items and search results are random & incomplete. I don’t receive notifications unless the app is open regardless of phone settings. Multiple-item, sale codes, & discography purchases need to be done […]

I’m a big supporter of CreativeCommons and their partners. If you like an artist, buy their stuff. For real. You’ll own it, and you’ll be supporting their work. I appreciate the transparency with what you’re paying for. And most artists have name your price for their albums. I like to options for file formats upon […]

My main issue with this app is that if there’s anything in your queue, the app won’t close, and I have a big obnoxious notification in my phone forever, until I clear the queue. It’s obnoxious bc I want to “shuffle all” most of the time when I open the app, which adds everything to […]

Always loved Bandcamp. Happy to see public playlists finally being introduced! There seems to be a *BUG: I CANNOT add tracks to a PUBLIC Playlist.* It simply won’t do anything when I tap one trying to add to it. If I make it private, I can add them, then make it public again. We should […]
