  • Unable to log in - Useless

  • Not sure whether this app works

    Not sure whether this app works for reading and listening to the books in the Internet Archive. I could not. And I could not find any other app.
  • Bug or luck

    I like this app but it doesn’t let me sign up it keeps saying user name already taken even tho i tried a whole bunch of random names with numbers. Please fix this I don’t know if it’s a bug or my luck.
  • Confusing

    The Internet Archive app was and still is difficult for me to navigate. For example, after finding a particular show on Google that led me to the archives, and so I created an account. At that time I was able to watch what I had found and add it to “my favorites”. Later on, I downloaded the app. I tried logging in, and it said that I have an account but “my favorites” aren’t there. There’s no option to find them either. However, I have google on my fire stick and was able to access it there, along with my favorites. So, it’s very confusing. As with other reviewers, I agree there should be other input options other than only being able to use the URL. Also, 2 days after having “my favorites” saved and able to watch a few, as of today, there’s a video error and those “files” will no longer play. None of them and I can’t “favorite” them either. I don’t know what kind of glitch that is, but I believe I’d you work out those minor “bugs”, the app would be great. Not too shabby for now though, great start.

    I tried every single user name and it said that it was taken. After that I just typed a bunch of letters on keyboard for example yvvyvtrvutbvt and it still said the username was taken. Trash app do not download
  • 5 ⭐️ potential, but...🤔 please update‼️

    The Archive has enough talented admirers to improve the two IA apps. Improving them is long overdue.

    Everyone loves the Internet Archive and the incredible effort that goes into it. It's indispensable for students and lovers of knowledge the world over. It greatly expands access to knowledge and keeps liars at bay with the truth of original sources. It's obviously a labor of love. Thank you!

    It's time to level up your two apps, time to make them world-class. Brewster: please tap into your volunteer resources. *Read the critical reviews*, take them seriously, and update❗️

  • Clunky

    Search function is not intuitive. Close out “X” at the top left of a page does nothing. Impossible to navigate back to previous page. Needs a lot of improvement before reaching the search and navigation capabilities of the website.
  • Unusable

    Slow, upper menus are places along an unclickable area on iphone 14 pro. So it’s basically unusable, cant really do anything functional with the app or even go back a page. Stick with website and din’t waste time.
  • Sad

    Terrible. Almost useless. Why?
  • Horrible

    Doesn’t work. It only works on desktop. This app and the mobile version doesn’t work.
