1. [R1] 5/5 · US Always ahead: I love seeing concert announcements ahead of the rest. Gives us a jump on planning our concert selections year over years
2. [R4] 5/5 · US An App that keeps me up to date. Painless!!!: I’m a music guy that wants to stay up to date with my favorite thing in the world!!! Love it !!!
3. [R11] 5/5 · US Great Alerts for Artists Shows: I enjoy receiving notifications for the artists shows I follow! Thank you ❤️
4. [R12] 5/5 · US Super convenient: I used to always miss out on my favorite artists shows because I didn’t know they were coming to town until it was too late. Bandsintown helps me find shows in my area and get tickets while they’re still available and affordable.
5. [R15] 5/5 · US Promo code emails: I’m not getting the promo code emails for early access
6. [R8] 5/5 · US Perfect for being in the know when traveling…: When I went to Seattle ‘bands in town’ app, let me know that Foo Fighters was in town with the Pretenders opening up for them! It was amazing! I was lucky enough to see the show. Thanks to bandsintown!
7. [R20] 5/5 · US Many thanks: One of my top five favorite apps. As a frequent traveler, it makes it so easy to find music that interests me pretty much anywhere I go.
8. [R45] 5/5 · US Find Great Music Anywhere: Absolutely love this app. I used it at home to find great medium to small venue shows on a bi-weekly basis. It’s also a great way to find live music when you are traveling out of town
9. [R56] 5/5 · US Great app to find local shows: I love using this app, especially when I travel to get fantastic insight into the local scene
10. [R5] 5/5 · US Notifications lol: The notifications it sends are very baity, but otherwise really good and well-done app. By that I mean like receiving notifications that make you think you purchased tickets when you didn’t. “Don’t forget about your tickets for ____, they’re in town next week!” Gives me a scare every time. Other than that, the UI is very accessible. Overall a very clean app.
11. [R25] 5/5 · US Reminders & upcoming events: I love how organized this as he is… And I also love how it continuously reminds me of upcoming concerts! I also love how it gives you access to the artist direct website where you can buy merch! I just wish it gave away free tickets sometimes 😘 otherwise no complaints. Definitely recommend.!!! 💯
12. [R3] 1/5 · US Pos: Literally is always crashing, the app and website. No matter what i do. Started out of nowhere too, i’ve deleted the app restarted it everything and it keeps stating it has a network error… no updates or anything. Website does not let me log in and I honestly hate this app. 0/10 do not recommend
13. [R14] 2/5 · US What happened?!: Recent updates have ruined all functionality on my iPhone. Went from 5 stars to basically zero for not functioning
14. [R30] 1/5 · US Network Issues: I used to love this app. I had the ability to see when all my favorite bands were on tour; however, now, when I try to use the app, I keep getting a “network error, retry” notification. So, oh well. Doesn’t work for me anymore, I guess.
15. [R38] 3/5 · US Bad network: Networking does not seem to work well
16. [R2] 1/5 · US Abuse: Do you like getting emails you didn’t opt into from a big variety of addresses, making it hard to block them all? Do you like when a company ignores email unsubscribes and spam reports? Yes? This is the app for you.
17. [R6] 4/5 · US Notify: Too many notifications and need a way to be more selective
18. [R10] 1/5 · US Excessive emails: I looked once for a concert and now receive multiple emails every single day. So annoying!!
19. [R22] 4/5 · US very helpful but i can't unfollow some bands: this app is very helpful for seeing who's playing in your area. Unfortunately when you check out an event it automatically signs you up to get reminders, which is fine. But if you check out a band to see where else their playing you follow them automatically, which wouldn't be a problem but for some reasons they're bands i just can't unfollow. When i g
20. [R58] 1/5 · US Do Not Use: I’ve used this app for years, but over the past year it’s gone completely downhill. Support has been useless, I’ve opened tickets and either get no response or I have to follow up multiple times just to hear back, and even then nothing gets resolved. I’ve reported more than once that the app no longer sends me new concert notifications, and it constantly unfollows artists I know I’ve
21. [R70] 2/5 · US Stop Removing Artists That I Am Following: I really love this app. It’s great for keeping track of my favorite artists when they go on tour. For some reason, the app has started to “unfollow” my favorite artists. I try to re-follow them by linking the app with Apple Music, but I have to manually look up and re-add them…over and over and over. Please fix!!!!! I would rate this app 5 stars except fo
22. [R98] 2/5 · US It’s fine: I really want to enjoy this app. It seemed like for a number of years, I did enjoy with no real issue. However, over the past year, not aware of having made any preference change, it automatically stops following bands I want to follow. I have to search for them regularly, and reclick “follow,” and I’ve missed about a dozen shows of bands I want to watch because of this glitch. It’s fru
23. [R13] 4/5 · US I like it but..: The reason I give it four stars is some of the bands I like are coming here and it says that they are not
24. [R16] 1/5 · US Not Comprehensive: This app misses tons of shows. There have been multiple times where a band I like announces a tour, and this app never adds it
25. [R78] 1/5 · US Late notice, sometimes no notice of shows: This app is terrible. I have a long list of artists that I’m following. There is no way to just go through the app and get a listing of all the shows that artists I’m following are doing in my area. You have to individually check each and every artist in order to get their schedule. On the announcements of upcoming shows, often times the announcement doe
26. [R107] 1/5 · US Inaccurate: Tons of shows happening from bands I follow but not listed on the app in the upcoming section. I have better results just checking the official pages online
27. [R17] 2/5 · US Interface is garbage: Just let me buy tickets, why does this app exist if it’s going to redirect you everywhere and I still can’t figure out how to buy tickets for a listed band. All this is for is to advertise tickets are for sale somewhere. Good luck. Useless bloatware application!
28. [R49] 1/5 · US Why?: Why must I connect my streaming services, so that you can scan my library? Why can’t I just skip the artist select screen, so I can look up the artists I want? So much of this “customizable”, algorithm driven garbage hijacking the basic functionality of the app.
29. [R50] 1/5 · US What’s wrong with the app?: I used to love this app but now I can’t even use it they added ai for some reason and I can’t even find concerts anymore
30. [R57] 1/5 · US Awful search function: Blind deaf mole rats could tell you what shows are going on in a town you are visiting better than this app.
31. [R51] 1/5 · US Spotify scan didn’t work: Scanned my Spotify library which contains hundreds of artists. Bandsintown only followed around 40. Useless feature if it can’t actually pull in most of the bands I follow.
32. [R89] 3/5 · US Almost great: I love this app. I use it all the time. The issue I have is that every time I use it, the app doesn’t recognize my device and makes me go through the same email verification process. I’ve honestly been dealing with it for years since it’s not a huge deal but I’d love a fix and can’t figure it out.
33. [R281] 3/5 · GB Used to work well…: …but is now rubbish. UI was more intuitive, music library synch was solid, and calendar link was excellent, as was API with Facebook, etc. Now buggy, slow, crashes and doesn’t synch with anything or even stay logged in. Lesson learned in how NOT to lifecycle manage an app.
34. [R48] 1/5 · US Unnecessary: The constant movement of the stars in the new AI icon is exceptionally distracting and completely unnecessary
35. [R19] 5/5 · US Best Live Music App: I got noticed of so many great concerts I was not aware of and got affordable prices 🙏. This app also recommends shows of new artists based on my music taste as it is linked to my Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube accounts. Works well all around the world.
