User Reviews

Users praise the app for its vast Live Music Archive catalog and intuitive search, but repeatedly report crashes, stability problems with downloading/streaming, and missing filtering features like year search. Background playback is inconsistent, and some catalog data is incomplete. Overall, strong concept and long-standing usefulness, but major stability and feature gaps hinder consistent use.
Pros
  • Huge catalog of live recordings from the Live Music Archive accessible in one app
  • Intuitive search and playback experience that makes discovery easy
  • Download feature for offline listening
  • Longstanding, loyal user base with continued development and updates
  • Streaming of archived shows is a standout feature for live-music fans
Cons
  • Frequent crashes and overall stability issues across launches, downloads, and updates
  • Background playback is unavailable or unreliable (cannot listen while locked or switch apps)
  • Missing or broken search/filters, especially year filtering and searching by artist or year
  • Data/catalog gaps (missing sets/artists or incomplete listings)
  • Download/streaming performance problems (hangs, buffering, or failures to stream after selecting a show)

I love this app but the playback controls behave very oddly. If you’re playing a track and want to skip back to the beginning, pressing the skip backward button goes to the previous track unlike every other media player I’ve ever used: it should start the song over. Instead, what happens is that it skips to the beginning of the previous track. If you then press the skip forward button, it will return to the original track, with the playhead still at whatever time it was at when you first tried to start it over. What should happen: the first time you press the skip backward button, it should seek to the beginning of the current track. Pressing it again should take you to the previous track. It should never remember where the playhead was when skipping between tracks.

Not being able to filter by year for concert recordings on mobile makes this app basically unusable. Sorry, I’m sure a lot of work went into this, but that’s just crazy. Just tried to “search” a Grateful Dead show by 9/27/1976 and September 27, 1976 - neither had results even though there are at least 5 sources available on Archive. You have to add the year filter back.
