Ratings and reviews

Generally I love the app. Recently message alerts reappear after I've clicked on and read them, even if the alerts were from several hours ago. And wish the site as a whole could tell you what albums from your collection are no longer available and what you can do about it. In shuffle play mode the app will keep attempting to play tracks no longer available and fast forwarding to the next queued track takes tricky timing that would shame a video game.

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 worked fine for me in the past, and no longer works despite that Bandcamp has permission to cast. Please fix :(

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 files and play them in an app that supports casting, both of which are a poor experience.
