Band mode
Tap any musician to switch their part on or off. Long-press one to bring that instrument forward and hear it more clearly.
A musical playground for young listeners
Let your child hear how a band fits together.
Tap musicians to hear each part, match instruments to their players, and explore five very different bands together. Every scene is drawn by hand. Every musical part is played by a real musician.

Where you can play
iPhone and iPad
On the App Store now, as a free version and a full one.
Android phones and tablets
Coming later this year. What is coming
Active listening, made playful
Build the band one sound at a time.
More Bands is not about scores or endless rewards. It gives children a simple way to notice what changes when one musical part joins—or drops out of—the whole song.
Instruments mode
Drag each instrument to its musician. The band grows as every player finds the right sound.
Your own sound
Tap the red circle to record a short sound, and it answers back whenever the empty stage is tapped. It stays on the device, and parents can switch the whole feature off.
Keep exploring
Tap animals and objects for playful sounds, then move between genres to discover a completely different musical world.
Give the music a playful twist with audio effects. Familiar sounds, fresh surprises—hear what happens when the band gets a little wild! Hear the effects in action
Five stages, five bands
From front porch to outer space.
Each genre has its own characters, instruments, artwork, original music, and small surprises to find.
Privacy first, not privacy later
A toy that knows nothing about your child.
More Bands has no accounts, no profiles, no analytics and no advertising. It was not built to collect anything, so there is nothing for us to store, lose, or sell.
-
No data collection
No name, no email, no age, no device identifier. Playing More Bands creates no profile anywhere, because there is nowhere for a profile to go.
-
No third-party code
The app ships with zero advertising, analytics or attribution SDKs. Nothing in it phones home, and there is no hidden partner receiving a copy of your child's play.
-
It works offline
Every drawing and every sound is already inside the app, so it plays the same in airplane mode. The iPhone and iPad app links no networking code at all; on Android, the only thing that uses the network is Google Play's own billing library, for the one-time purchase.
-
Recordings never leave
If your child records a sound for the stage, it is written to this device only. It is excluded from backups and iCloud, and it is deleted the moment a parent turns recording off.
-
Feedback without a server
The feedback form hands your message to your own mail app. We have no backend to receive it any other way, and you see exactly what is being sent before you send it.
-
Parents hold the switches
Settings sit behind a parental gate: a daily playing-time limit, recording on or off, stage effects, atmosphere sounds, and the quiet button.
The full legal text is in our privacy policy, and the Android app has its own. Questions are welcome at coreteamlv@gmail.com.
Announcement
More Bands is coming to Android this year.
All five bands already play on Android. The same hand-drawn scenes, the same recorded musicians, the same one shared timeline keeping every part locked together — rebuilt natively rather than wrapped.
The first Android release concentrates on Band mode: choose a genre, walk onto the stage, and switch each musician's part on and off. Instruments mode, the animals, and recording follow after that, one at a time.
It arrives with the same promise as the iPhone and iPad app — no ads, no analytics, no third-party SDKs, and no account.
- Ready All five genres, playing on device
- Ready Parent area, gate, and settings
- In progress Release hardening and testing
- Next Google Play release, later this year

Tell us which phone or tablet you have and we will send an invitation once there is a build worth trying — and a note when it reaches Google Play. We use your address for that and nothing else: no list, no newsletter.
Made by musicians, parents, and pencils
Analog warmth in a digital toy.
The characters began on paper, colored by hand. The songs were composed and recorded by musicians playing real instruments. More Bands brings that human, slightly imperfect feeling to the screen.
The result is closer to an interactive picture book and a tiny mixing desk than to a conventional children's game.
No AI was used to create the art or the music in this app. Every character was drawn and colored by hand on paper, and every part you hear was played by a musician into a microphone.
