Bandcamp 12+

I love this app, I love the way it supply’s art work and tracks for me to stream and listen on the go. Getting fresh material across multiple genres and it feels organic. Unlike other streaming services out there.

Requests to improve

When filtering genres I would like a play all - so it will Autoplay multiple albums not just the one release

Can we build a cart in the app so I can prep tracks I wish to buy? I appreciate you have many formats for sellers to accomodate but a basic cart would be great

Is there possibility of a streaming service for djs? I would prefer to use your platform over others in the market?

Cheers
Sam

Downloaded the app so I could listen to a friend’s song I love (and fully intended to rebuy, again) without keeping the web browser open. After listening to it a few times it locked me out of the song with a “time to open up your heart and wallet”. So I press send purchase link, and it doesn’t show. Meanwhile the web browser continues to work fine. Sent it to another account and 15 mins later the link shows. After I purchase it, it tells me it can’t even be downloaded to the phone. I go back to the app to stream it (I’m in the North Pole, I did this to specifically avoid streaming), and I find the purchase link I ordered from my account, has in no way connected the music to my account; it’s just given me files I can’t download, so now I’m two different types of locked out of the one song I did all of this nonsense for in the first place. And there’s no way to link the purchase, so if I want to unblock it, I need to get on a computer I don’t have and buy it AGAIN from there!

Naturally I go back to the web browser, and it works fine with zero restrictions, for free. Literally the definition of a waste of time, money and space. The only positive thing I can say is Bandcamp let me pay a friend more money twice without actually providing or doing anything themselves.

I suppose the only real benefit of this app in addition to the website is to listen to the music you've purchased. Unfortunately, it lacks many basic features in this area as far as I can tell - for instance, downloading music so that you can listen offline, making playlists, and/or even just being able to "like" songs so that your favourite songs appear in one place. I have a large Bandcamp library and unfortunately find this app a bit too simplistic for my listening needs, which is a shame because I like to be able to support musicians by paying for their music.
