User Reviews

Overall, users praise DeadSpread for its enormous catalog and user-friendly design. The app's fan-focused content and archive feel are highly valued. Some reviews note CarPlay support as a plus. However, several reports highlight stability problems—crashes and freezes, plus update-related glitches—and intermittent download persistence that can disrupt listening. If reliability improves, this could be a top-tier hub for Grateful Dead and Widespread Panic fans.

Pros

Extensive catalog of shows with a time-machine feel
Easy to use and well-organized interface
Fan-focused content with broad coverage for Dead/WSP fans
CarPlay compatibility is valued by some users

Cons

Stability issues: crashes and freezes mid-track, including update-related problems
Intermittent downloads and poor session persistence (downloads disappear after re-opening)

App shuts down in the middle of a track

I did the most recent update. Now it plays one song, the music stops and the app freezes.

The face lift to the app is awesome! Really focuses on the “On this day feature” for concerts, which was the way I was already using the app! Works really well with CarPlay and houses Billy Strings and Jack Johnson concerts. C’mon, doesn’t get better than that!
