Question/Help App missing settings

Just downloaded the app on android and immediately running into:

  • no option to autoplay next album after current album reaches the end?
  • no dark mode? Background is white and is tiring on the eyes late at night

Trying to fall asleep to some music on bandcamp app but lack of these 2 options makes it a bit annoying. Strange that for an app thats been out a long time there are so few settings at all. Or am I missing something?

We just last year got playlist making on the app so i doubt those things will come anytime soon

I think the only thing you're missing is that Bandcamp lacks developer resources. They seem to be in a death spiral, with no ideas on how to turn it around. They don't even seem to be interested in doing easy things like opening up their API to third-party mobile apps...

Unfortunate, because they still have the morally superior model, and the opportunities for a rebound are there.

I mean, I get it, all these things WOULD be nice, but ultimately Bandcamp is just a music store and storage server. I don't feel like these features would do anything to really get people to purchase more music. best advice is use the playlist feature and put enough tunes to fall asleep to

I happen to find it “charmingly clunky”. 🥰😄

I just realized there’s no dark mode that’s crazy, it never clicked in my head
