BAND: powered by Line, is a great group app for Android that allows you to make separate groups for family members, for close friends, for colleagues, and for anyone else you want. It also allows you to put notices on your board, start polls, make photo albums, and chat with your friends or colleagues. Whatever you share within a band (or group) will be available to only the members of that particular band. This way I can easily manage who gets what information. A tutorial on how to use the app is also given, to make things easier for new users.
Even though the app is powered by Line, it does not needs you to be a Line user, or even to install Line on your Android. Just install this app and start making your own small private social networks.

My Final Verdict on this Android App:
BAND is a very nice Android app that lets you add your close ones to bond with them. The best thing about this app is that it lets me add multiple bands. Each band is a private space for the members of only that particular group. Only thing missing were smileys and emoticons. A sticker shop couldn’t replace them. But otherwise I loved all its features.
