Band Boss App Reviews

Really fun and entertaining game!!!

This game is ok, but there are a few things that irk me. 1. The countries are imbalanced. Basically, the way touring works is the fewer the cities the country has, the more money you will make. I never saw any reason to tour outside Barbados because it had one city so instead of going to a crappy venue then a slightly better venue and then back to the crappy venue, I kept going to better venues until I got to around 50,000 maximum audience. Maybe instead of having the venue quality reset after moving cities, you just had them keep getting better. 2. The things you can buy to boost happiness are too pricy and are completely useless otherwise. These are limited, and they only work once, which is in contrast to the reusable and cheap energy drinks that boost energy. I feel like these happiness items should have some sort of permanent boost so they dont feel like a complete waste of money. 3. Your characters never get better. I feel like they should start off awful, and then slowly get better as they gain experience in the music business. 4. Your popularity seems to cap at around 80, so you wind up getting to the end of the game before becoming the best in the world, which is kind of disappointing. I feel like these issues are stifling my enjoyment of the game, and should be fixed.

It is a great game, but crashes at random times while playing.

This is a fun little game that is easily worth $.99. The good of it is that its easy to pick up and understand and you can easily make money and increase your popularity through common sense. It gets harder later on, almost impossibly so. I wish we could name our songs and albums. Also, it would be nice to use existing photos for your record covers. There are some play mechanics that arent balanced (like the cost to increase energy vs the cost to increase happiness). If these things could get fixed, it would be five stars!

Its a very good game overall

Fun and free. Gets pretty boring after awhile with all the repetitiveness.

This is the best game for you if you like these kind of games

I loved tycoon games but this amazing 99 cent app tops them ALL!!! I hope this game does well and I hope there will be more from the makers of it!!!

Super super fun! The ONLY problem is that it takes a while to go to the next day sometimes. But besides that, this is one of the BEST games that I can play thats NOT iOS 4.3 or higher lol

This is the coolest game I have stumbled upon in my App Store searching escapades. I love the idea of creating and managing your own band towards superstardom. The amount of detail put into all of the bands and this game is amazing to me for a game only 99 cents. However, there are some things I would improve/change. First off, what do the colors mean in the map? If Asia is green, does that mean were very popular over there? Or is that when a country is red? Its all very confusing and I hope to get more clarification on that in the future. Second, is the lack of real ending this game has. After Ive hit over 90 popularity and bought everything in the store, I feel like Ive finished the game. I dont quite get the feeling of satisfaction though because, at that point, theres no you won, youre an amazing band anoucement. Its more of a, I did everything I could do so I guess I won... Theres a lot if uncertainty there and it makes the unofficial win less satisfying and with no previous score, or friends score or top score to compare it to. If you could fix that aspect of the game right there, it would be way cooler and definitely more fun to play and recommend to people. Another factor of the game with great potential is the acheveable upgrades. I already enjoy the fact that you can use the money you make to make your band more popular/better song writers/better visual appeal ect... The thing is, after a little bit, the upgrades wont go higher even though theres a significant amount to do in the game to win. It could possibly work out better if the band upgrades were more spaced out in regards to price or, even better, if there were some new upgrades avalible after all the other ones were done. Upgradable and costumizable gear that can improve your performance ratings and change your appearance, that sort of thing. For instance, stage props, new instruments, new outfits; Signing with new labels; Options for selling merch at shows. Things like that. Implementing new features to the game would be really cool too. Silver, gold and platinum album/single rankings/achievements; An entirely new page focusing on fans, how many you have, new fans when you go new places, fan losses when you put out a bad records/singles or vacation for too long. Also, after playing through my third time It felt quite repetitive and I felt like the game was slowly losing my interest due to the slightly repetitive nature of this game. Adding more upgrades, and a way to actually win the game would help the but, maybe putting in some accept/decline situations that could influence your band in different ways would shake things up and keep it interesting longer. For instance, "Your band wants to go for a different sound for this record. Yes or No?" And that would effect your fan base, your popularity, and your appeal. Maybe the ability to kick people out of the band as well? And lastly, more random event happenings. Maybe some like, "Drummers grandma passed away, hes not going to be able to tour for at least two weeks." Or even, "Your band forgot Guitarist at the gas station 20 miles back, youre gonna be late for the show." Thank you for making this awesome game, good luck, and I look forward for the updates to come!

The game is great at first but needs more. It can get boring after time. I would love to see some big updates from it!

How can we convince you to update this and make this great game even better?

Then it gets very repetitive. Make an album, make a single, go on tour. Thats pretty much the scope of the game. Some things need work also. I went on an 8 week tour in Denmark and the only city I perform in is Copenhagen? Good game if you want a time burner for a few hours.

But, as others have stated, it gets repetitive after a few hours. There are some issues with the songs and albums themselves. Id like to be able to name the songs and albums instead of the titles being chosen from a bank of names (a bank that often gives you several songs with the same name, leaving you with sometimes 4 or more repeats). Being able to manage more than one band would be nice as well, as would being about to edit/kick out/hire new band members. Bottom line = good and fun game, but missing a lot.

Boring and repetitive, is a good idea but not thought out. You literally just sit there and let the clock run. If they added more to do itd be different. Good idea, bad execution.

This game is addicting but it would be better if you can add like some type of rival competition where the rival disses u with a diss record and you can respond back if you choose. And also make it possible to manage multiple bands. And give us the option to choose the album title and song titles please take this under consideration. Thank You!

My friends and I fell in love with this game, and the idea of it almost a year ago. Now and again we periodically check back for new updates, or a newer version. But it never seems to come. My friends I want to see a new version or update come out so bad. Im hoping for the best. I wonder if the developers abandoned this game.

Extra star for Rchetype. Thankies ^^

Based on all these other reviews and gameplay, I agree that this game a major update. We need to name songs and albums and pick pictures from our library. We need more customization with our band members and more interaction with them. We need to have an option to control more than one band and to interact with actual bands that exist out there. If this game had more features, Id enjoy it more. Please do an update! Im begging you!

I love this game but its been 4 years since it had update. If its ever updated it should... •Singles/Albums go platinum • 500K = Gold 1M=Platinum •Increase album sales •Be able to name albums/singles •Pick your own release dates •Have a more improved Chart •Have an awards show •Music Videos •More personalization of the tour •Have a number of followers
