BAND - App for all groups for Negative User Reviews
✓ Slow And ClunkyBeen forced to use this app but it’s slow and unreliable. Watching any video footage posted takes too long to load, the app fails to give me notifications all the time, the calendar is difficult to use - it’s a solution that doesn’t work to a problem that didn’t exist!.Version: 9.2.0
✓ Not happy so farSeems like a good idea but the screens become locked. I couldn't establish that I was a female. The screen freezes when I try to add a cover photo for the group or change background colour..Version: 4.4.3
✓ To hard to join a group.Struggled with the invitation process. Was not intuitive or easy..Version: 12.0.3
✓ Version 7.0 updateSince update, you have taken away the predictive texting, please put this back on..Version: 7.0.0
✓ FreezingI've noticed the app freezing on my iPhone 6+ and on iPad Air 2. Both most recent iOS not impressed. This is my way of communicating with my gaming friends..Version: 5.8.1
✓ Notice alarm delay.When i using this app Band, chat notice showing delay since updated ios7..Version: 2.1.4
✓ Just does not workI have tried and it will not allow me to register (non-facebook).Version: 5.6.0
✓ Moots betterDumb move.Version: 8.5.0
✓ ConfusingSuch a confusing, unorganised app I’ve ever tried. Telegram is best by far..Version: 7.0.4
✓ Don't botherDoesn't let you sign up unless you give your phone number first which is always an indication that they will spam your phone number with rubbish and only allow you to use the app after making purchases..Version: 6.0.7
✓ I can not stand this appI have used many apps to connect with teams and organizations. This app by FAR is the most annoying and confusing app I have. First of all, I constantly am checking the app because it appears I have a notification. 90% of the time it is an offer from the “sticker” shop or a notification from the “band” guide. I am 43, I don’t need stickers to talk to my daughters coach. My time is to valuable to constantly have to check because this app is advertising. I told the coach to do emails because I refuse to respond on this app anymore. I have every setting possible set to not receive notification except for the one “band” group I am on. On top of it the threads are super confusing. You don’t have the option to delete an old thread off you messages unless I am guessing the administrator of the band or if your the person who started the thread. The threads all look alike. It’s infuriating. Had enough. Told her to get S.I. Or huddle. At least the info huddle offers is useful, not unicorn stickers. I gave it one star only because it actually works and you can receive messages. Other than that, trash..Version: 6.2.4
✓ New update won’t loadThe app has been fine until today when the app just keeps spinning and not loading??.Version: 6.4.2
✓ Needs a new updateNeeds a better design and more admin features.Version: 4.1.0
✓ Beware Band Will Delete Your Group!I just wanted to let anyone that downloads this app to create a social group that Band can and will delete your group at anytime without a reason, which is what they did with ours groups!!! They will freeze your account for 7 days so you don’t know what’s going on and they delete your band group without a reason! All your members that try to access the group will see a message saying you are restricted by admin which is you and shows a icon asking members to leave the group and you will lose all your member contacts as you can only talk to members in groups that you belong to. Our band group consisted two local airsoft community groups called “Norcal Airsoft Classifieds” & “Norcal Airsofters” we had accumulated 1000 members between the two groups all from Northern California which took a lot of time to build up the group. We used it to communicate about future games, chat, trade/sell gear, and to help grow the airsoft community. We heavily moderated both groups to make sure everyone one was treated with respect. We have been using this app for a few years without any trouble and then all of a sudden our groups are gone. This greatly saddens me that the group me a my fellow airsoft player spent 1000’s of hours putting together is all gone. Band should be ashamed at the way they treat their users. They have greatly damaged our airsoft community. Please don’t let this happen to you!!!!!.Version: 7.7.4
✓ Better before I updatedThis was great till I updated, now I can't open the app. I wish I could go back to using it. Hope it fixes soon..Version: 3.0.0
✓ FlawedIt's reinventing the wheel and offering nothing you can't already accomplish with Facebook's groups in much easier and known by everybody ways. Ignores completely the previous experience of these users and because of that it fails on usability. If they could build on top of that already known interface and add any extra functionality there I would consider swapping thanks to the lack of advertising..Version: 5.6.2
✓ Read privacy statementI thought it was odd that I was asked to enter my exact birthdate and my gender when I signed in. On reading the privacy statement, this app collects data from the activity on your phone and sells it to advertisers. Not unlike Facebook - just know of what you’re signing up for..Version: 11.2.0
✓ Using VoiceOver with bandBand has gradually been getting worse and worse with each update for uses of VoiceOver. Now I can’t get to the home tab et cetera at the bottom of the screen all I can see is the messages. Please fix ASAP used to be quite a good app. Please make it more friendly for blind people using VoiceOver..Version: 8.5.0
✓ Good app, Could be more inclusiveI enjoy this app a lot! My Roller Derby team and I use it to communicate and share information and it works very well! I do have an issue however with the profile options regarding gender. I am a genderfluid person and there is no option for me! The options are: Male, Female or Other. These options arent very inclusive. Im assuming it would be easy enough to change the option to one where you can type it out or at least have more options..Version: 9.0.22
✓ Not intuitiveI have 3 different kids on two different teams within the same group of lacrosse teams and the organization uses band. There’s a general group that has everyone, then there’s a 14U group. Then a 12U group. And while there’s inherent confusion in that setup to begin with, it’s made way worse by the way the app formats things. Example: you have bands, feeds, notifications, and chats. And when you need to go back and look at a message it’s hard to figure out where to go. For context, I work largely in the digital realm and am pretty tech savvy. And this app simply isn’t intuitive. Though I will admit this: the overall high(ish) rating makes me wonder if it’s maybe the group I’m with that has made band such a cluster. Because it’s not just me. Many of the parents I’ve spoken with are having a hard time with this app..Version: 8.5.2
✓ It keeps crashingAs soon as i head on it keeps crashing. please fix it, it started happening out of nowhere and i dont know why. I tried reinstalling it and it still WONT WORK..Version: 7.10.1
✓ Chinese..?Why is this app in chinese?.Version: 5.2.2
✓ Server and app unresponsiveThis app was good, until the recent update, in which I was looking in my band (which corresponds to a clan in clash of clans) and everyone started saying the server wasn't working. Immediately I saw as well. the server wasn't loading with an error that said something about an invalid certificate. people in the clan who didn't get the update said the app worked just fine. upon uninstalling and reinstalling the app, the app just froze altogether when hitting "already a member? log in" link. should i exit the app, if i try to get back in, it will crash every time. i've uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times, and i have the same result. thank you for reading..Version: 6.1.3
✓ Fix PleaseI keep trying to get ahold of Band in regards to a bug in their system but they won't give me a direct answer or even explain why they do this. It's extremely annoying that band puts a limit on and deadlines and dates for things on the app I can only plan my deadlines for a couple of months ahead (Currently, mid October is the latest I can set one). I can't keep coming back to band EVERY week to add in another sign up deadline whenever the deadline becomes available on the software, I have way too much paperwork to do in my job and it's such a simple thing to fix on the developers end. It makes no sense at all why I can set an event or a poll or a sign up for 10 years in the future, but for some reason I can't set my sign up deadline for whenever I need it as well. Come on guys, this is such a simple fix on your end but it's INCREDIBLY frustrating as I try to plan out the school year for a group of students if I have a limit on when I can set the deadline for something..Version: 7.11.23
✓ Spell check/Auto Correct missing after updateAfter the latest update to version 8 of Band, the spellcheck/autocorrect function is missing from the chat..Version: 8.0.1
✓ Notifications not working since updateI have an iPhone 11 and since new update, notifications aren’t working.Version: 8.2.0
✓ Videos need to stop freezingI have promoted Band to all of my kids groups because the organization abilities and management aspects of the app are great. I love the separate groups within a main group so I can get info that only pertains to my child but after 2+ years I still can’t watch an entire posted video without it freezing. It isn’t an internet issue. It’s an app issue. Many parents complain because students can’t practice if they can’t view the videos. I try to download them but I never know if a download has started so either end up with no download or multiple of the same. It’s frustrating and I end up not even bothering to try viewing anymore..Version: 8.4.1
✓ Won't allow signupsNo matter how I attempt to sign up for an account, it tells me it can't allow repetitive signups, despite me being a first time user. I attempted to sign in, but accounts don't exist (obviously) and no signup help in the app... Shameful waste really.Version: 5.5.3
✓ Super annoying self promotion is not ok, app otherwise is.As far as a platform for groups talk to each other and having a feed set up. The app is fine. What is super obnoxious is how many notifications and how much of your feed is actually cluttered up with things telling you about the app itself. I’m already using the freaking app!! Please stop telling me about it! I don’t need 15 different notifications telling me about how I can incorporate it into my life and work. I just need to know if practice is cancelled this week! Also, changing the notification settings changes the way I actually receive important and relevant information from the groups I’m in. The fact that I can’t see what my group is actually talking is about without filtering through ad-like notifications defeats the whole purpose..Version: 8.6.1
✓ Don’t care about bullying on there platformDon’t take steps to stop bullying on there platforms and expect you to get your local authority to deal with bullying on there app instead of resolving issues with bullying members.Version: 8.5.1
✓ New version not working.Not sure if it is because of the iOS 11 update or not. Now all my app says is “the certificate for the server is invalid”..Version: 6.1.3
✓ Annoying notifications & navigationMy phone is constantly receiving notifications from this app to the point it freezes all other applications. It's not user friendly for those of us New to Band app. However it is easier to figure out and has a crisp clear voice chat compared to apps such as discord. I'm mostly annoyed by the settings because if you want to change anything in the app you must customize each band individually. If you attempt to change the notification settings for the entire app you only have 3 choices to turn off for 1 hour, 3 hours, or until 8am. I have multiple band groups and would like to shut off all notifications while my app is not open and during certain times while sleeping or busy. I literally have to put my entire phone on do not disturb to stop band notifications from waking me up every 3-5 minutes..Version: 6.4.2
✓ Glitch!I installed the app to try to join a group set up by my kids daycamp leader. It continually loops on a message “Sorry! Unable to complete due to temporary error” So I deleted and re-installed, to no avail. 3 days of this so far. It’s not the issue of the group, others have had no problem.Version: 8.5.5
✓ It's alrightYou have copy these apps messages and Instagram why do you copy them. Only thing you have done like no other one is that fact is you use band group so people can join groups public, private or secret groups these are reason why firstly you copy when you can get some stickers or to purchase secondary you don't know how to choose your own ideas you copyright others thirdly you suck this is worst it's not quick access!! Instagram is simple and about pictures. Messaged is where you can call. These are main ideas yours is copyrighted others with band which is pointless you can make your own with other I talked about to text only them you send invite rather than codes. Your unpopular after 21days since release no one used this because no one knows this and cause it's terrible and when you try to advertise this no one went to download this including myself. Delete this application please!! Thes.Version: 5.6.2
✓ GreatHuge fan of this app, makes organising things in groups so easy! however, will there ever be a dark mode option for iOS? there have been webpages announcing dark mode coming to iOS later but I can’t find it.Version: 7.5.4
✓ CrashI’ve never had a problem with this app but lately I haven’t been able to open the app because it continually crashes as soon as I open it. All the other apps oh my phone function normally.Version: 7.8.4
✓ Doesn’t workOnly works on Wi-Fi. Very frustrating..Version: 12.1.2
✓ TerribleI mean, just terrible..Version: 7.9.3
✓ 너무 광고가 많다. 밴드도 광고판이다갑자기 광고들이 늘어서 보기싫다. 광고 없애려면 돈을 매월 내야 한다. 포털 사이트도 아닌데, 이제 "밴드"도 다된것 같다..Version: 5.6.0
✓ I just want bandHi there! So I haven’t used the app yet, but my sisters have. They say it’s great and they love it, and they like using it for the friend groups since some of their friends have different type phones. Now I wanted it for the same reason, so I got the app and tried setting it up, I put in my birthday and once I did everything it said get the kids band! Even tho I’m 12, and there’s no way to say no thanks. All I wanted was to be able to use this app with my friends EDIT I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE band! I set my account up today and have literally not stopped using it! I love the calendar feature especially, it’s really nice, and I especially love how you can see when people are online. One suggestion would be that you should make it on the chat so that there’s typing bubbles, it kinda bugs me that I can’t see when people are typing. But that would be it. This is probably my favorite app and deserves way more than 5 stars, although still, I don’t like the whole kids band thing, it’s nice that you made that for people but I wish you could get normal band even if your under 13. Just a simple no thanks option would be great..Version: 8.4.10
✓ Bugs bugs bugsKeeps telling me I need to check my network when not using wifi. Therefore useless over 3G. Fix it..Version: 3.8.0
✓ Most important features are spread throughout the appI’ve been using the app for a couple months now. The app has great potential but it’s the little things that create the most problems for my parents for usability. For instance you basically have to back all the way out of your team board in order to see the calendar from iOS devices. So the parents of my team are always calling, texting, and messaging within the app in order to figure out when/where a practice or game is. Why in the world would you not have the calendar, posts, and messaging in the lower navigator of every screen your in when using band. In today’s age, apps shouldn’t require me having training sessions with parents who aren’t old to figure out how to use an app. They’re almost always simple enough that anyone can use them. I hope you fix this soon before I find another tool for parents. I of course don’t want to go though that learning curve again so please hurry..Version: 6.4.5
✓ BrokenWas working ok till update now crashes every time I go to the chat menu and click on a room quick fix please then I’ll resubmit with 5?stars.Version: 7.5.4
✓ Chat brokenUpdated to add an ‘edit’ function, but this doesn’t work. It also took away predictive text. Pretty awful as updates go!.Version: 7.0.1
✓ Useless avoid like the plagueCrashes when trying to sign in and when it does not crash it just times out, awesome job guys!!!.Version: 6.1.3
✓ Not goodI really like this app but now Loads of Korean adverts have appeared on the app this is really annoying I thought it was suppose to be secure. I will have to no longer use it.Version: 7.11.23
✓ Notification bubblesThe app itself is great, you can easily join a community and make posts, even let others know if you’re going to be there or not. However, the developers of the app seem to think that not having an account linked with your band account is worth a recurring red one in a circle. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, it’s just quite annoying. Developers, let me put it this way for you: Imagine that you had a coffee shop you went to on a semi regular basis when you were hanging out with a group of friends, but only then! Now imagine that same coffee shop is nearby to the one that you go to on a regular basis, and every day they put up a sign that says “today’s deal:____” however when you go in to see what the deal is, the shop owners are asking you to fill out about 3 forms before you’re even considered to be on the receiving end of the deals. Wouldn’t you want to stop going to that coffee shop, even if it meant not hanging out with that group of friends? Yeah, well your app is about 10,000x more annoying than that coffee shop with your stupid “link Facebook or google, otherwise we are going to put up a new red bubble every 1-3 hours.” And I’m honestly considering deleting it just because of that one annoying thing. Otherwise it’s an alright app..Version: 7.2.0
✓ Needs work—updatedLatest version posted since my previous review (now 12.1) still crashes frequently on my MacBook Pro M1 running latest MacOS. Typing normal text into a chat often causes a cursor-spinning freeze requiring a force quit. UX is clumsy as well—the app needs a refresh to make navigation and functionality clearer. It's nice that it's offered for free, though the latest versions tilt even more toward large ads and using notifications to prompt for upgrades and feature usage. If the developers want to generate revenues through a paid version, that's totally understandable, but Band needs better features and stability before that would appeal to many people..Version: 12.1.0
✓ Can’t update albumsI used this app all during lockdown with no issues. Returned to use it again but can’t add any videos or photos to albums from my iPad 😢.Version: 8.10.6
✓ Has country restrictionI am a North American user visiting Korea but it wont let me join Korean band. Pretty stupid to have such restrictions.Version: 10.0.2
✓ 생년월일 설정 불가능생년월일 설정 안 됩니다. 앱 재설치하고 계정 사로 파고 뭔 짓을 해도 안 됩니다. 생년월일 드래그하면 원래 있던 자리로 (1월 1일 1991년) 돌아갑니다..Version: 5.9.3
✓ Not fully support iPadBand is still not supporting fully on iPad. Horizontal screen mode is not supported, yet. With external bluetooth keyboard, it cannot be good, cause screen's laying down.....Version: 3.4.4
✓ WARNING: Read this before you downloadThis app seemed like a good answer to my remote teaching needs. It allowed me to talk to students one on one and receive assignments via their private chat option. Little did I know that private chats have a default setting where if you change devices or even log out once, all the chats are deleted. I mean, what? How does that make any sense? Well, I found out the hard way when I dropped my phone. All chat histories with the students were deleted. Luckily, I had already manually backed up each assignment. But I was shocked that there was basically no data integrity on Band. I contacted Band twice and both times they said the same thing. I should have known that this setting existed, and I should have changed it beforehand. Great help. With all the other options out there for (basically any messaging app), there is no need to use this app. Especially when your data can disappear at the drop of a hat..Version: 7.10.3
✓ Needs a way to see the events I haven’t yet RSVPed toAs a user, I am struggling to find the events that I am yet to RSVP to. In each event you can who is yet to participate, but would be useful as a member to have a list event where I am still to respond..Version: 9.0.4
✓ Buggy app!After the last app update (iOS), only a portion of my chat messages appear after I press send. Not just for me but also anyone else who is in the chat group, sees exactly what I do...a short perhaps 25 character subset of my complete message. What gives Band???.Version: 7.0.0
✓ Terrible UIYou get a notification, you open the app and see that same, one notification, in 3 different places and sub menus. I have to open the message 3 different ways just to clear it. And it doesn't help that the things that I don't care about mask themselves as notifications as well, such as new stickers and news. You start with one notification and immediately become overwhelmed when you open the app when you see red, unread, dots in 3 different places. The problem only gets worse when you're having multiple conversations at once. The conversation layout is unintuitive and confusing. Even after disabling everything, I still get notifications for stickers and news. I have never met anyone that uses the app because they like it. It’s always due to a work requirement. How sad when your business model predicates on people being forced to use you service. Not a sustainable business model in the long run..Version: 8.6.1
✓ Meh, I want to use band but...My Destiny 2 clan is considering switching Band from Discord for clan activity. So far I like many things but really feel the chat side needs work in way of the user interface. Moving around pages is a little clumsy. I’d also like more options for customisation of privileges. In discord I can assign roles to all members giving more of a community feel. Silly things like changing the colour of the name. Also more admin options to be able to edit/delete chat posts which may be inappropriate or irrelevant..Version: 6.5.9
✓ Band reviewExtremely great for posting videos and commenting but one thing that doesn’t stand out to me is that it’s forever to load a video ever since I started using band.Version: 10.0.4
✓ Too many annoying notificationsIt's a pretty good group messaging app. It doesn't do much that competitors like GroupMe don't also do, but it doesn't fall behind anywhere either. The only major difference is that GroupMe and others don't feel the need to bombard the user with pointless notifications. Every couple days or so Band will send a notification with no real substance, obviously just trying to get the user to open the app. The worst part is that you can't turn notifications off or else you'll risk missing important messages from your groups. Very annoying and would never recommend this app while it still does this..Version: 8.5.1
✓ Too many app “try this” and “did you know” messagesI like this app, but I’m starting to see a trend toward the feed and even my posts getting cluttered by Band app messages telling me about some feature I don’t care about or some thing I can do that I don’t want to do. I think it’s great that they want to promote new features, but not in my feed/conversations. Help and app update notes for that guys..Version: 8.0.1
✓ Not goodMy dance studio is gonna use this for the rest of the year I can’t because I’m not 12 plus, the should make it 7 plus not helpful.Version: 7.10.1
✓ Pile of crapDon't bother with this. A few friends like it, so I downloaded and created my account. Tried to send a three word message, wouldn't send. After half hour of refreshing and reloading it finally went. Tried another, same problem. Would have actually been quicker to start a fire and send smoke signals. On top of that, there is no obvious way to report a problem! You can report obnoxious behaviour from other members, but can't contact band direct...pointless...don't bother with it, there are far better chat/txt/msg apps out there!.Version: 5.6.3
✓ Misleading premise leaves a bad taste.It asks you to accept a "Terms and Privacy Policy" it gives you no access to. There's no link while signing up to view the terms. Ads on Facebook convey that it can receive from multiple platforms, but it's just an alternative platform. I was hoping it would replace or organise other forms of collaboration, but it doesn't, it's just a new one. These things make me distrust an app I've never heard of but was willing to have a go at. It's poor delivery of what could be a good app..Version: 5.5.3
✓ App slow and makes things lagI have zero issue with other apps so this is not a connectivity or internet speed issue. Paid to subscribe to a channel within the app which I cannot use due to this app’s issues. Contacted their “support” who offered zero assistance..Version: 8.9.2
✓ BuggyThis app worked really well for the past year, but recently it has been having some issues. If I go into the “feed” tab, it only shows posts from not that long ago and then a “search not available” thing pops up. This didn’t bother me THAT much at first, but recently if I go into the feed tab the pop up continues to show up even after I click “cancel” to get it off of my screen. It makes it to where the only way to escape it is to completely shut off the app and then click on each individual room so I can read the message. I’m going to try deleting and redownloading the app, but I honestly don’t know if it’ll work..Version: 8.5.2
✓ Love the features but...I love all the features that are offered on Band. This is the reason we switched from GroupMe. Unfortunately, Band seems slow to update. When I open anything- a band, a chat, an album etc., it takes several seconds to load what originally showed up in a notification. Several of our Band members are having a difficult time uploading videos. Lastly, a Band chat that we started 4 weeks ago is already telling us the storage is full. If you can fix the lag and the storage, we will continue using. If not, we will probably move back to GroupMe. Also tried to “contact developer” before writing this review but that was a completely different language and I was not able to change it. 👎🏼.Version: 8.0.1
✓ FreezingYour app was great now it freezes all the goddamn time. Fix the goddamn thing already.Version: 5.8.1
✓ Too much happeningThere are many options that are great(calendar, messaging, photo albums), but their is too much happening. For a majority of users such as myself, we just have one group. There is not an option that I have found to make it default. Constant notifications about ways to create a new group for different kinds of groups are annoying and help turn off users. When you run a group like mine your biggest problem is people getting annoyed and shutting off notifications. Sending pointless push notifications about “new stickers” helps push busy families to that point. I will be switching my group back to groupme until this app is uncluttered and simplified..Version: 6.1.2
✓ SIGN UP DOESNT WORK!!After I add the verification code it says “this account isn’t available” whatever that means!!.Version: 7.11.10
✓ Hyphenation IssueI use this app all the time. Whereas the new update fixed the IOS9 bug of chat text extending off screen, it introduced a new one where there is no hyphenation. Words are just cut in half and carried on to the following line. It makes it very hard to read a conversation. Given how frequently they update this app we'll likely wait months for a fix..Version: 4.5.1
✓ Lags too muchNot ideal.Version: 5.6.0
✓ Add a block or mute functionTitle.Version: 6.5.10
✓ Crashes!!Crashes.Version: 6.4.2
✓ Ipad에선 안되네요왤까요 분명 업데이트 전에는 됬는데.Version: 3.2.0
✓ 업데이트후 암호입력 불가아이폰사용자이며 암호설정되어있었음. 오늘 업데이트후 암호화면에서 암호숫자입력이 안됨. 폰 재부팅후 해보아도 마찬가지임..Version: 4.3.1
✓ Group call endingGreat app for me so far but it starts getting annoying and troubling us with the group call ending by itself after about an hour. In the middle of important meetings the call will just end; that very bad for such a great app and causes a lot of our meeting to be aborted before the end. And if you relaunch the call it will tell you to wait for another minute to start a new call. This is an unnecessary and most annoying update ever. We have meetings that lasts for hours and sometimes for days for 24hour fellowships so we want it to be ongoing without ending. That would be really appreciated. Other than that great app. Also is there a purchasable version for it that may work more efficiently?.Version: 8.5.1
✓ So hard to use, even for the simple thingsOf all the group chat apps I’ve been forced to use because of my kids’ activities, Band is by far the one I dislike the most. It is hard to make a comment. Text is very small and hard to read. There is no way to edit a comment once it has been made. You have to set up a new profile for every group you use. It isn’t always clear to me where my comment will end up (as a comment on the OP or as a reply to someone else’s comment (probably because the text is so small on the mobile app). Because there are so many messages from Band promoting Band, I sometimes miss messages that I should have seen first. There is no prioritization of group messages vs Band spam, so it is easy to simply dismiss notices as unimportant. Ugh! I know this is a disjointed list of gripes, but honestly, I feel anxious and frustrated every time I have to open this app. I avoid using it as much as I am able, honestly. I wish I’d never heard of it, and can’t understand why my daughter’s gym thought this app would be a good idea. I hope they stop using it soon. It’s awful..Version: 8.1.1
✓ GamersRise Up..Version: 6.5.6
✓ Video IssuesVideos just load forever and never play. Waste so much time staring at a spinning wheel. Please fix this..Version: 14.0.2
✓ Links not working cannot add anyoneI set up the group then send invitations- the link is not working. None of the links work and there is no way else to add people to the group..Version: 3.1.0
✓ SUCKSTHIS IS THE WORST APP EVER DONT EVEN BOTHER DOWNLOADING IT!!!.Version: 4.2.1
✓ Great but it’s the little thingsLet me just say that I love Band, all the features are wonderful for my volunteer team that uses it for communication, meetings, and up to date information. However, some of my team members are older and some hard of hearing. All notification sounds included in band (known as Default 1, Default 2, etc) are too quiet, and too short in duration for them to hear. I have asked twice now for either longer louder sounds or the ability to add custom alternate sounds. The response I got was basically “we will see”. I can’t believe this is hard to do given the scope of all these wonderful enhancements in the latest release this seems like a nothing. Please prioritize!.Version: 8.4.1
✓ App Fine, Notifications Annoying!The app works fine if your band director knows how to use it and takes advantage of all the features, plus takes the time to set everyone up correctly. But the notices to refer a friend, new features… they are only relevant for the band director. What is the point of annoying students and parents with them? I’m a parent. I don’t need stickers to communicate with my kids director. I definitely don’t need to be notified there are new ones. It’s so much advertising that is just annoying, since it doesn’t apply to me. You can’t turn off push notifications about these, but it’s still everywhere in the app. And you can’t customize your notifications enough. If you want to be notified about posts, you have to get every comment as well. So if your band director has birthdays turned on, you’ll not only get a notification for every person’s birthday, but also for every person who replies happy birthday to it. I got 78 notifications in one day, then the band director turned off the birthdays completely. I liked knowing when it was a kids birthday, I do not want every comment..Version: 10.2.0
✓ SSL issueWas a go to app of mine but now with the issues it as with SSL I have move to a different app.Version: 9.0.21
✓ What..Worst app in the world. Please don’t use it; there are many other apps if you want to communicate. What does the slogan even mean? “Where Leaders communicate better.” It makes no sense please just don’t use this terrible app. I’d give it a 1/200 if I can.Version: 8.1.1
✓ Well designedBut none of my friends use this :( I searched Facebook. Line. And contact...Version: 1.3.3
✓ Hackers!So since downloading I have had notification after notification of people attempting to get into my email address. I know it’s this app because I very rarely download apps (once every few months) so notice the difference in activity between each one. So I’ll be uninstalling and warning everyone..Version: 13.0.4
✓ English?I love the Idea for this. I just can't read or speak Korean....please make a language option.Version: 1.0.2
✓ ㅎㅇThe calendar is inaccessible. Every single time I click on the calendar icon in the bottom, the app just closes itself on me. (After the current update, that is. It has been working just fine until this latest update. Totally regret updating the app now.) Our family uses this app to share our schedules and it's really bothersome not being able to access any of the future schedules. I can only see the most immediate plan of a family member in the top area. 달력을 들어갈 수 없어요. 맨밑 중간에 있는 달력 아이콘을 누르면 강제종료됩니다. 한두번 그러는게 아니고 무조건 달력을 누르면 강제종료됩니다. 업데이트 하고나서 이상해졌어요. 고쳐주세요 ㅠㅠㅠ.Version: 6.0.1
✓ Not very user friendlyThis app has potential but it’s not there yet. The layout is really set up for someone who plans on creating groups. Should be more designed for participants of groups. Example - if you are in multiple groups and want to see a combined calendar, you have to click “more”, then click “my page”, then “upcoming events”. There should be a combined calendar icon from the home page. Instead their are 9 icons to create a new page. Creating new pages should be in the “more” section. Also don’t accidentally log into one group with your Facebook login and another group with your email address. You can’t merge the profiles. I deleted one but had to get the help section to allow my phone number to be used on the remaining log in. They helped but with a snarky comment “FYI, If the same case happens again, please understand that we won't be able to help you. So, please be careful when signing up BAND.”.Version: 7.0.4
✓ Update not goodNo auto correct now, has made it slower to use.Version: 8.0.1
✓ Massive typing regressionI was really enjoying using this app until one of the recent updates completely disabled the iOS keyboard autocorrect, so now posting anything has become an incredibly frustrating chore. I can only assume this is a bug as it’s such a horrible user experience. I’ll put my rating back up when it has been sorted..Version: 8.0.1
✓ Needs better sharing optionsAs a skating coach I love this app as my students who aren't allowed on Facebook can use it, it also lets others post to your band page where Facebook pages only lets the admin do that! Something that really needs to change is that when you share a post, say to Facebook, others can't view the full post through Facebook unless they download the band app and sign in themselves, something many people won't do! Just let us share the full post to other social media with like a band app link underneath instead of forcing ppl to download ur app to view the post! At the moment sharing a post to other media is pretty much useless!.Version: 5.9.3
✓ Good visionBAND, I love the vision you have for this app, and it’s effects on bands. My band has never been more united because of y’all, thank you🙏. But I have a very big critique. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, upgrade your servers to support large 4k videos. Everytime someone uploads a video of the band, the video buffers too long cause of the size and resolution, and the quality is affected. The download button rarely works for these videos. So please, in the year 2022, 4k video is now the standard for social media platforms, and we desperately need y’all to work with it🙏.Our internet is super fast. I have 500mp/s internet so it’s not on my end. So yes, I love y’all, but please take this critique to heart..Version: 9.0.5
✓ LanguageWhyyy isn’t it in english.Version: 7.8.4
✓ BugsThe words in chat are getting cut in half and carried to the next line. Very frustrating to read messages. Please fix this..Version: 4.5.1
✓ FrustratedI can't log into my new device and there is no way to contact Band. Do you not have any customer service?!.Version: 6.5.9
✓ Sounds!The app itself works fine however, there is no way to turn chat, comments and post sounds off which is EXTREMELY annoying. There is a quiet mod option but you can only quieten it for several hours at a time, that’s the only thing that puts me off.Version: 7.2.0
✓ I love band but...This update that is coming is NOT what we want band for. There are a million social networks to connect with people outside your sphere based on interests etc. I use band with young people and the joy of band is that they can't access anyone else without being in a group with them. Wish the decision to become a generic social network had been considered more before taking away the unique feature band has..Version: 3.8.1
✓ .This app says it’s 12+ i am 13 and it won’t let me join?.Version: 7.8.4
