I loved this app and have lost quite a bit of $$$ because of their practices. It's lost because they censor and remove artists they don't like for reasons that are never made clear.

Not as feature-rich as apps from competing services, but it does the basics well and without bloat. More options are slowly being added. More flexibility over downloaded files would be nice, though I suppose you could just download them from your mobile browser if you really wanted that. Other worthwhile additions would be playlists and more control over notifications from artists you follow. (For example, I don't buy vinyls but I often get notifications for vinyl releases from artists.)

I use BC for buying much of my music and the radio shows. But recently it has become increasingly temperamental, mostly while listening to an album or radio show. You unlock your phone while music is playing, go to the app, perhaps to cue and tune up, and it crashes! Then on reopening you have to play something different, then go back to what you were previously listening to and hope that it picks up from where it crashed!! 2 different Android phones, same problem! It use to work perfectly

Strange restrictions for purchase
No digital files can be purchased on my device, says the app. Can you please look into that-it's weird since I am able to buy music if I'm online through my browser-through the app only LPs and CD…?

Music cuts out. Even downloaded and phone in air plane mode. Even with Bluetooth off. I literally am going to the website to download every album I own because this app won't do the one thing I want it too. Play music. Stop serving me ads and trying to sell me stuff and just play my music. Because I'm over Bandcamp and won't be purchasing music through them anymore. I'll just support the artists directly. Buy music from their websites. And avoid the consumer front end, that is Bandcamp

Force purchase
Please stop prompting me to buy music from an artist who has put their tracks out for free after listening X number of times. They have made a post about not being able to receive any money spent on BC and want their music to be free for all listeners to enjoy.

Renames downloaded files into gibberish. Absolutely unusable if you want to use a real media player with the rest of your collection instead of this cumbersome app. Thanks for wasting my time. Zero stars should be an option. I hate this thing.

Music player simply doesn't work.
