BandMix

I like Bandmix overall (sort of), but every time I use the app, the bottom menu shifts up to the middle, curling off half the screen. The search function is also pretty glitchy. Finally, unless you are a studio advertising services, why would I want to put my personal home address on my profile? That seems weird. Bandmix as a whole is clearly a cash grab taking advantage of musicians, but at least it has its uses- the app, not so much.

I purchased the premier membership on Bandmix and while the app worked great for a short time, it recently started to not let me log in to either of mine and my band’s accounts. I am able to log in on their website, but when I am logged in, I can no longer update any of my content (photos etc…). There is no way to report a problem on the website or the app, and I’m not going to call a support hotline about this so it looks like I’ll just be canceling my membership and looking for something better. Bandmix was a great idea that seemingly failed to execute the goods. Do yourself a favor and find something more dependable.

Let me start off by saying that Bandmix has been great through a web browser. The ability to browse for local musicians, market yourself to bands and to find new band members without having to resort to Craigslist has been a godsend. When I saw that it was now a mobile app, I was pretty happy to be able to do everything from my phone. Unfortunately, my experience has been hampered by freeze-ups and continually having to close and reopen the app. The issues seem to occur the most with loading my dashboard. I really want to give this app five stars—please fix this issue and I’ll change my rating right away!!
