Bandle - Guess the song Reviews

by Hunnner34

The tracks kinda sound like they’re from the original songs, but not close enough. They sound like someone learning GarageBand tried recreating them, and I’d give them an average of a B-. The free version is fine, but only the best songs are included to entice you to buy the $9.99 package, which is NOT worth it. Stick to playing standard song quizzes until the technology can really capture the tracks of the original songs.

Super cool idea for an app, but the layout is super confusing. If it were organized better, I’d be on it daily. When I come back and try to guess new songs it takes me back to some I’ve already done. Overall, not worth the download until there’s major improvements to the organization of Bandle .

by Generic Nickname11

Some songs make themselves more difficult because of laziness on the part of Bandle . Important parts of songs, like the bass of maroon 5’s “sugar”, or the drums from zeppelin’s “Kashmir”, which were by no means difficult transpositions, are watered down unnecessarily, and leave myself and friends frustrated because we’re being punished for caring about the actual instrumentation in a given song.

This very much seems like something that can easily be improved. Taking the extra time to verify beats, or employing an in-app review system to verify accuracy, could help make this one of the best apps out there

Tried the free bundles but of course the don’t work. There’s a “glitch, try again later”. No success later, uninstalled and tried, same “glitch” but I’m sure it works when you pay for a bundle. Probably fake reviews too. iPhone 13 Pro Max. WiFi vs Cellular. No success. The one song was cool I guess. Waste of time.

I love this game concept but if you are over 50 it’s kind of a waste of time. Not much for you here.
I am sad to say I am deleting it.
If there is ever a Gen X version or a 60s thru 90s version I will definitely download it. Then again, no one remembers we exist so I won’t hold my breath, lol.

I love music. I love that I am a music trivia nerd so I thought this would be right up my alley but Bandle uses synth sounds for most of the instruments which makes otherwise immediately recognizable beats and riffs sound like generic synth garbage. I get that it is a way to avoid copyright but there has to be a better way to make the parts sound closer to the original.

Something about the background and different style fount, only for the buttons at the bottom, isn’t rubbing me right.

Maybe an option for an OLED friendly background would be nice looking and match the capabilities of a lot of modern phones. The blue and music note background is meh, I preferred the black. I guess the round instrument icons are better a better style though :). Hope this review helps.

i’ve had a lot of fun with this game but now that i’ve played through at least half/more than half of most of my music packs it keeps making me replay songs i’ve already done, even though there’s still plenty i haven’t played.

Also the new design is horrendous. and yes i’ve tried both light and dark mode. idk who could’ve thought it was an improvement. i want the old one back lol

by Mrkevinwright

I do enjoy playing this game. The only problem is since I’m Gen X. A lot of the songs are not songs I know. but I did buy the 1970s pack and I really enjoyed that one

by PNo4

The game itself is fun and works really well. However there have been a handful of the bonus trivia questions that have incorrect answers. Maybe a feedback option on each song could be helpful?

by Yemikey

Trying to use this as a quiz game with friends, but choosing from a specific decade would skew the results

by Yoitskai223

W app, wish they had more songs.

by Kbro35

It's a great app and everything. I just wish it gave you the option to favorite certain this app songs so as to give the option to come back to it later at any given time, so you could show it to your friends and get them to guess. Or having a search option for all completed bandles. That would make it a PERFECT app.

by Plumbus Mcdumbus

Thank you for making such an incredible app. My whole family looks forward to playing this every time we get together.

If you’re reading this and considering buying the paid version, it is completely worth the purchase.

Also huge shout out to the streamer Northernlion, as he introduced myself and thousands of others to Bandle.

by LabRatSim

I LOVE this game so much and tune in to play it each day. It is easy to learn and is so much fun trying to guess the songs, and there have only been a few that I haven’t known at all so I would argue that it can be played by anyone who has listened to the radio or loves music. You will love this game too and get addicted so quickly!

by Stevrev59

It’s such a fun to play either alone or especially with a friend. It tests your music knowledge and it’s just so fun to play. I downloaded the full songs list and I look forward to the daily play!

by Anomelie

My husband and I play this together every night, to see who can get it right first. There’s a really good variety of songs from many different decades. Sometimes we get it right away, and sometimes we’re so surprised, but no matter what it’s always fun. Highly recommend! There’s a new one daily, but I bought the entire catalog so we can play anytime.

by Dude111116

Great trivia for music I love it. I did purchase full access and can’t seem to gain access to new bundles and can’t find a restore purchases option in Bandle . Otherwise, get it and enjoy!

by 666guy69

My wife and I love playing this game, we bought all the packs but have now played them all. Or at least, the songs we actually were around for. Please add more songs from the 2000s! Those are the most fun and nostalgic for us, and I think a lot of people would agree.

by Reviews By Rache

My boyfriend and I have been playing this app every day for almost a year now and it is a staple in our day to day entertainment. Sometimes we do the daily song together, other times we compete against each other. It’s expanded my music knowledge and taste like no other and I look forward to each days new puzzle to start my day. 10/10 recommend.

by Mr. Potato Head The Reviewer

This is an extraordinary wordle-type game for music lovers. I have been playing for a couple weeks, and I can confidently say that it has everything you could ask for in a music guessing game. The songs are popular enough that I am rarely left not knowing or hearing the song before, yet it still offers an interesting and thought provoking challenge by playing individual instruments. The hints are also a nice touch to get a better idea of possibilities for what the song may be. It’s always a good time playing this game with a groups of friends.

My only gripe with the game is that you are limited to 1 game per day. There are 3 packs of 5 songs for which you can watch videos to play, then you must buy packs to have access to the rest of the archive.

I would watch videos ‘til the cows come home if it meant i could get more games per day. Maybe players could get their first play of the day, then they can watch videos to get more plays, and put a cap of 3 extra songs per day from watching videos. Or something like that. If the ad revenue makes sense to do this, then i think it would be a great addition.

Whoever created this game, you rule! Keep up the great work.

by DD Crytzer

I absolutely LOVE this app. I started on the website, then downloaded Bandle so i could track my stats. I then got invested and bought all of the packs to play extra, and I don't regret it whatsoever. I have a lot of fun playing on my own, as well as with my friends, making it a great group activity if you're looking for something to do together! 100% recommend Bandle to everyone if you want to play a fun musical game!!

by Saxman511

I used to be a Wordle guy, but then it got bland for me. I still do it here and there to pass the time. When I found this one though, I was instantly hooked. I even showed it to my friends. There’s a lot of copy cat versions of this out there and they’re all cool in their own way. But I like how this one has its own app instead of just a website, and I like how it shows you the percent of players who got it on which ever number they guessed it on. Really cements in the difficulty of some of them.

by Gen Eric

I love “Name that Tune” games, but this app takes it an awesome step forward by breaking the songs down by instrument in sequential layered fashion. It then kicks things up a notch by offering bonus questions about the song, band etc. which are all fun whether I guessed correctly or not. The daily song is free, and the extra bonus packs are reasonably priced and add to the enjoyment. Support is quick and personalized, a rarity with a apps these days. Give the daily songs a try – I bet you will agree with me on my praise of this fantastic and fun game!

by LN3000

My girlfriend and I have currently finished the entire catalog. It was a really fun activity for us to do together. It always surprises me which songs she ends up figuring out before me, where I’m like how the heck did you guess that.

I think some songs are unfair, where you feel like you could get it with just a bit more added context but then it’s just another instrument that is following the same pattern as the previous track.

Otherwise. It’s a lot of fun and hope for more songs added.

by Lseely

I have been playing this app every day for a few months. It’s my favorite game! I love all the bonus questions and the stats. It definitely kicks it up a notch. Just purchased all the songs pack because why not! I can’t get enough

by WumboSauce

Ok so I never write reviews or pay for apps if there’s a free version but I’ve had Bandle for only a day and I’m already obsessed, showing all my friends, and buying all of the in app content for more. Highly recommend Bandle.

by Phinmy121

This is a great game for everyone from music enthusiasts to lovers of puzzle games. Songs from every era with different levels of difficulty make it accessible to anyone and buying the this app bundle was the best 8.99 I’ve ever spent on Bandle Store!

by LLCutler

My 14 year old son introduced me to Bandle and I have since shared it with other music loving friends. It’s a great way to connect with my son and has been fun to compete with him and friends to see who can guess the song first! Love it.

by Gangofgiraffes

This is a great game and Bandle is well designed. We play every morning as a family and have played through most of the packs. I love how customizable it is for what types of songs you might get but also how many clues it might give.

by Jmc003

Just please more 60s/70s groups that aren’t ABBA

But no, this is awesome, I bought the full pack and my wife and I have had a blast (and felt both stupid and smart, sometimes at the same time) trying to recognize all of these songs. The tracks are amazingly well done and it’s such a neat music trivia game!

by Runaway Thought Train

A fun musical puzzle! I challenge my family based on their respective eras and they’ve all had fun going back through the catalog and trying to guess. Definitely recommend!

by SwoodLeigh

This is the music game I didn’t know I’ve always wanted. I downloaded it, played through all the free songs, and then immediately purchased the full version and it’s totally worth it! It’s been so much fun to play alone and with friends and family! It’s challenging but addicting and incredibly satisfying when it finally clicks in your head and you get it! Plus, the bonus questions for each song are really fun and unique (the BPM questions are my FAVORITE!). 10/10, absolutely the best mobile game I’ve played in a long long time and I can’t see myself ever getting tired of it! From a grateful music-obsessed band nerd, the biggest THANK YOU for creating this amazing game!

by Pound-sign

This game hits the mark for several generations. Actually the first game our entire family has sat and played

by Bloopbliplolz

such a fun game, heavily recommend they play a lot of different songs!! ^-^

by BLiu1

Great fun, developer is very responsive to feedback

by AlexM1234567890

I got Toxic in 1 and now I feel like God

by Puzzle Lob

I love the game. I hope more music will be added soon!

by Bphlat18

This is a super fun musical Wordle that scratches that itch and with the midi music, that keeps you from using Shazam to gain an advantage. Fun and challenging!

by Notabot7

Dev does a great job breaking up the songs. Excited for the bonus stuff!

by Nicki99p

Someone showed me this game 2 days ago and I can’t stop playing. It’s so fun.

by AmericanKitsune

Me and my mom have been playing this quite a bit and we have tons of fun doing it.

by Joeso83

I enjoy watching TV shows like Name That Tune, so this game hit a note for me. (Pun intended) I normally do not buy many games on Bandle Store due to micro transactions so kudos to the developer for selling the full version for a reasonable price!

by Mcroweman

Im having so much fun with this game! I love that it doesnt have ads. And as a musician, im super into it!

by Nates1

Wordle? Octortle? Metazooa? No! Give me this app or give me death!

by Baconburgerbob

really cool concept, also good replacement for heardle after Spotify kill it

by Brucleez

Fun to try to guess together with friends and family. Nice to have link to YouTube video right after you guess correctly, and the synthesized versions sounds pretty close to the real thing.

by Justaguywhousesapp

THIS IS MY FAVORITE GAME IT IS SO GOOD THANKS FOR MAKING IT XOXO

by R0182012

Very very fun

by Rogueworkahead

by AstridsSting

this app is a fun game, and is especially fun with friends.

by Suzqm

I enjoy playing this app everyday!

by Gotta Ddance

So much fun I bought all the DLC ☺️

by Rapedwapey

this app is a genius idea with relevant and old songs at the helm.

by SJRitch

This has quickly become my wife and I favorite game to play together each day. We often get the song before the clue, and we have made a separate game of guessing what the clue is going to be. I’m excited to take a road trip here soon and to go through the entire catalog with her.

by XJynXE

I enjoy the challenge of the guess!! Really fun game. My daughter always asks if I’ve played todays game yet and we see who does better.

by ZaquiriOnYoutube

My girlfriend and I play it every morning. We’re both music nuts and enjoy breaking music down each track. Super fun and addictive game. Much better than Wordle.

by Wemersonn

The rush of getting a song in one is a high I’ll be chasing for the rest of my life.
