User Reviews

Users praise the app for helping discover new and hidden bands and for providing rich band information via a free front end to Metal Archives. However, reliability dominates feedback: frequent errors, slow performance, and general instability hinder use. Updates removed key features (login, saved bookmarks/collections, upcoming releases) and some bands are missing from the catalog. The positives of discovery and data depth are overshadowed by stability issues and feature gaps.

Pros

Helps discover new and hidden-band gems.
Provides rich, detailed band information (members, reviews, similar artists) and supports organizing discographies.
Easy-to-navigate user interface and front-end experience.
Free front end to Metal Archives, allowing access without a separate login.
Includes sub-genre and genre information for bands.

Cons

Frequent errors and failed requests (e.g., 403/429) that prevent searching or loading results.
Slow performance and buggy behavior, with searches taking long and often needing refreshes.
Post-update loss of core features (cannot log in, no saved bookmarks/collections, no view of upcoming releases).
Incomplete catalog data (some bands or albums are missing from the app).
Requests for bookmarking/favorite feature and better search recall that are currently not available.

Recent reviews

I like it but the only problem is that the home page NEVER works? It‘s not my internet because everything else works. Idk if y‘all are still working on the home page or something but it always says „The data cannot be…(whatever it says)… because it is missing“. Anyway the app is really nice I like it a lot. If somebody were to contemplate whether or not to get Metal Archives, I think they definitely should decide to get it!
