About this app

Bandcamp is an online record store and music community where passionate fans connect with and directly support the artists they love.

The Bandcamp app lets you explore a vast catalog of music by artists from every corner of the globe, allows you to directly support the artists you love by buying their music and merch, and lets you instantly listen to the music you've purchased, whether you're online or offline.

Ratings and reviews

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 sort through, but the sorting system is abysmal at best and highly inaccurate. Update the app and implement a delete feature, and enhance the sorting system.

I love the option of "minimum cost" for an album because I love paying more than artists ask for when I love them. I love commenting on my favorite albums with my friends and joking about who has the most "superfan review". It feels like having a CD collection on my phone. Streaming services such as Spotify are purposefully made like social media, making you overuse it, crafting playlists, stalking others, etc. Bandcamp feels like it just "is". Here, I skip less songs, hence enjoy music more.

Chromecast is still iffy, with me needing to frequently force-stop the app to get the Chromecast option visible again or to be connected to the casting instance to adjust it. Looking at merch item details, it's annoying that tapping the associated album does nothing and not navigate to the tracks to listen. At least I can tell they're trying to update the app now.

What's new

This release restores Chromecast support and has a few other minor fixes and improvements.
