Reviews of Metal Archives

  • Great App - One Glaring Bug

    As a metalhead and information connoisseur, this app has proved more than helpful for me as a listener and fan. I’ve discovered many bands and the app has helped me to organize confusing discographies of many bands. However, for the last few months, I’ve repeatedly had to refresh pages as many as four times just to even get them to open. If this could be fixed I’d have no problems with the app.
  • Can’t login, but also can’t save albums locally :(

    I can understand that we can’t login because this is an unofficial app, but please please PLEASE allow us to save some albums in some sort of list (even if only bound to the app itself). I often come across an album I’d like to remember to listen to later but there is no way to save it, so I end up forgetting and that is not very metal. The main function of this app is good, but implementing this feature would make it so much better. Thank you.
  • Helpful, but one problem

    This is a very helpful and informative app, however there is one glaring problem that prevents this from being perfect; before the update, when viewing the upcoming albums tab, it had allowed you to view all upcoming albums instead of released albums and albums releasing a few days from then. I see this as a downgrade from the previous version, other than this problem, the app has stuck with me for the better of a year as it is incredibly useful when wanting to learn about old or new bands.
