Recent reviews
I used to love this app but in the last year it started randomly but consistently pausing mid song and skipping ahead to another song in a show. I was initially in contact with tech support who was engaged at first but then stopped responding to my follow up emails. This is really disappointing as this was my Go To live show app and now I don't even try to use it anymore.

Love this app but playback stopped working for me yesterday (10/11/24). I cleared the cache, uninstalled and reinstalled, but nothing has gotten it working again. Hope this is just a bug that gets fixed soon because I love this app (Edited review to 5 Stars, the playback issues are due to a DDOS attack on Archive and not the fault of the app)
