User reviews
App is user friendly but notifications are annoying. If you have them turned off you miss important things but if you have them turned on it can drive a person crazy. The snooze mode is not convenient at all. Needs to be super easy to find and use. Even on the notification bubble would be awesome!

I love several advantages of the amazing features in the BAND! The ability to make changes after posting is a good example! Another example is the ability to post full content instead of clipped editing. No limitation on resources and awesomely powerful results! Thanks to all of the great people who are working on this! Thanks too, for working its software to provide a great way for us to keep in contact with our team members!

I like the app a lot. I wish some of the administrative functions like Invite and Approval were separate from user features like streaming and photo albums. Maybe I couldn't find it, but I wish there was a way to track invites. Currently, the only way I can see to do it is through "Welcome posting" which requires allowing everyone to post, an ability I originally wanted to restrict. There are other nice-to-haves in mind but I'm out of space. Great effort! looking forward to future updates!
