Bandscheck.com

PURPOSE Bandscheck is a concert discovery app for people who want to quickly hear who is playing in their city and organise with friends before they buy tickets. Listings and ticket sites usually do not let you listen in place. Many send you to another app just to hear a 30-second clip and decide if you like the artist. The home screen is a feed of upcoming local shows. Each artist card plays a Spotify audio preview or a YouTube performance video. Users can save artists, invite friends, and go to a show together (RSVP, split what they paid, store tickets). There are no ads and no in-app purchases. Get Tickets opens the partner site in Safari. We do not process payments. TARGET AUDIENCE People looking for live music in their city or while traveling. Groups who want a shared place to pick an artist, arrange who pays, keep tickets, and get directions. GUIDELINE 2.5.4 This binary is 1.4.2 (31). Audio and video play only while the app is on screen. Home, lock, or app switcher pauses playback. There is no lock-screen player and no persistent background audio. 1.4.1 declared UIBackgroundModes audio from an unused Expo default. 1.4.2 removes that key. A background-audio screen recording is not attached because the app does not play in the background. GUIDELINE 5.2.3 We use official APIs and official players only.
