Mobile Apps

More info...

"The app" in the following refers to both the iOS and Android versions. Apart from minimal differences, both apps offer the same functionality.

New in the app

Basically, BANDZONE is not that much different in the app than before. However, there are a few small but nice app-exclusive features:

• Share into the app
  In some other apps, such as Spotify and YouTube, BANDZONE can now be selected as a “destination” when sharing. In BANDZONE, you can then create a new song directly with the shared Spotify link, for example.
• Share from within the app
  Using the 'Share' icons, you can share specific items with other apps (e.g., to quickly share a song or setlist via a messenger). But don't worry: anyone opening the shared link will still need the necessary permissions and must be logged in to view the content.

• Links to band.zone are opened directly in the app
  If you receive a link to an appointment or song via messenger or email, this link opens directly in the app, not in your browser.‍
• Permanent navigation at the top, left and bottom
• Swipe navigation
  With a “swipe” from the left and right side or your device, you get back to the last page or forward to the next page - provided, of course, that there is one.

What's missing in the app (yet)?

• Push notifications
  However, these are planned for the not so distant future. You will definitely be notified via the usual channels (newsletter, Instagram,...) as soon as we have something ready.
  The option to email band members about new events or schedule changes, for example, is still available and will be retained even with the introduction of push notifications.
• Subscription management
  Due to app store restrictions, we are not allowed to offer subscription management functions in the app. This means that you still have to access BANDZONE via a regular browser to book a plan or cancel your subscription. You can still do that on your mobile device or desktop - just not in the app.
  We've also set up a special address to manage your subscription: https://sub.band.zone - Du gelangst natürlich auch direkt über die Navigation der Web-Version auf deine Abo-Daten.
• Offline mode
  An offline mode is not planned for the near future because there are many other new features and improvements much higher up the list.

Known issues

• The highlight in the left navigation does not change correctly when changing areas.
• When sharing a BANDZONE view from the iOS app using the “Share” icon in the top navigation, “Login” is displayed as the title. However, the correct link is shared and not the login page.

Feedback

As usual, please send feedback on the app to support@band.zone .
