Hello!
I am HM. The developer of BandBook.
Here I want to tell you a few things about this APP.
- About the Intention
Im a bass player (a four-string lover!) and at the same time, a college student. When I am in college, I have found some people, just like me, can’t find an approach to get in touch with other instrument players. Maybe it is because of the different styles of music preferred, or the different locations of acceptable rehearsals. It is quite hard for us to find buddies who is sharing common music ideas and want to form a band. We need a supporting platform to solve this problem.
- About Vision
Now it is an era of information explosion and we are surrounded by unlimited information which is disturbing us. Therefore, it is extremely hard for us to search for the information of instrument players we want. I only hope that by founding this platform, we, who are gathered here because of the love of music, can recruit the new band members efficiently, so that we can seize more of our time for playing music.
- About How to Use
I divided the musicians into six sections according to their different instruments. Users can register with their mailbox account. Moreover, they can also have a quick view without an account. The mandatory information for posting is listed below:
NAME: Your own name or nickname or stage name, or the name of your band;
MUSIC STYLE: The style of music you like, or the type of music your band is playing;
LOCATION: An acceptable rehearsal area, not necessarily a city, but an area;
SELF-INTRODUCTION: the link of the work, the contact information of other platforms, or the introduction of yourself (for example, I can dance hip-hop on the stage).
I dont want to add all kinds of functions like music player, video player, chat and so on, because the experience of other platforms is much better than mine. All I just want this application can contain the most essential information of forming a band.
- About Optimization
This is a work completed by a small team, so there will be a lot of shortcomings. You can add comments in the App Store.

- About the Cost
I promise that this platform will be a labor of love, all profit and loss, will not add any charging function, until one day the earth exploded, or I can not afford my living and not able to support the platform operation."We are the ones who make a brighter day, so lets start giving".
Here are my production costs:
1.Apple Developer Account $99,
2.Google Firebase collects money according to the number of people and traffic. It is free at this stage.
3.One Starbucks per person in the group.
Its true well make a better day, just you and me.——MJ
