   Is it just me, or is the Bandcamp app missing a big fat “BUY” button?

   I have now been trying for five minutes to spend money on music. This is rather stretching the concept of an “impulse buy“.

     @mhoye Yes!

     It’s even worse, though. I feel like I’ve clicked through almost every screen, and it won’t let me spend money anywhere??!

     @slothrop I don't quite get why "give me this song ($X)", "give me this album ($X)" and "give me everything this artist has ever made ($X)" aren't all one-click at Bandcamp.

     @mhoye Opposing commercialization is all well and good, but Bandcamp is taking things a bit too far IMHO

     @slothrop For me I just click the price and that takes me to the various purchase options that are available?

     @pettter Hm. I only just entered my credit card data.

     I’ll check back tomorrow, and see if maybe an overnight database run has fixed it. Takes be back to the 90s 🙄

     @slothrop I see "Name your price" in my app, which gets me there.

     @pettter It works on the website, but not in the app 🙃

     What in the ever living…

     @mike Ah, that makes a twisted sort of sense. Thank you.

     Now excuse me, while I polish my sledgehammer. It appears that there are some windows in Cupertino that need breaking.

     @slothrop on iOS at least, it’s deliberately missing so they don’t have to give Apple a cut.

     Instead, the “workflow” is to mark the the album as a favourite, wait for the email about new items on your wish list, then click on the link in the email to view it in your browser and buy it from there.

     @pettter Question solved: it’s Apple fuckery.

     Thank you!

     @slothrop Weird.. Could it be that you're not logged in to the app maybe?
