Band Mule Band Calendar 4+

I wish it would let you export to google calendar. Also if it wouldn’t delete previous months until the beginning of the next year would be great. Also a hover feature over a date to see what is booked would be great. It’s an ok application and serves its purpose. We have had issues with it deleting gigs over slow connections. It is frustrating at times. New features would be great.

First, it’s confusing that the start of the week is on Monday. Not used to seeing calendars like that. I keep selecting the wrong day. Will just have to get used to it. Second, it would be great if there was a way to do a mass upload of songs. When you have 100+ it’s an undertaking. I have my notifications on, but I don’t get anything when someone adds or updated anything. The first thing you see when opening the app for the first time is a blank white screen with a bottom toolbar. Took me a while to figure out that the little checkmark is there for when you want to send a message. I think if you put “insert comment” where the user is supposed to click, that would be great. I thought something was wrong with the app because all I saw was white.. I ended up saying “hello!” So others would know what was going on in the white space. Third, if there was a “band account” or some way to keep track of how much money the band has made, that’d be cool as well. I feel like the app isn’t very intuitive, will probably have to show and explain to the band how to do everything. Otherwise, it’s a great idea and we hope it keeps us organized.

Sadly one area of this app that is not accessible with a screen reader is the availability section which is critical for calendar and resource management. I did not look at the song list or set list functionality as lack of accessibility for the availability feature is pretty much a deal breaker. I think it is pretty safe to say that there are quite a few blind musicians and it is a shame this app was not built with that in mind. It is so easy now to add accessibility like this that when you don’t see it it can be pretty frustrating. Please add accessibility for the VoiceOver screen reader and what I found so far I would consider 5 out of 5.
