Fantastic Resource

Many thanks to the creator of this fine, little app.

Only “criticism” is that dark mode leads to some metadata being hard to read. However, since you’re pulling content, I don’t know if that’s something you can even change. However, I hardly notice this and wanted to point it out, just in case it’s something that helps you.

Anyway, thanks again!

This is the way.

I never write reviews for apps but this app deserves one. I literally was looking for a decent player for the Internet Archive so I can listen to music without using the brave browser. This app does exactly that and seamlessly with a very nicely designed player.

Just import your username and select the list that you want to listen to or watch and it’ll generate in the app and then you’re good to go.

Awesome app and thank you to the developer for creating it, this will be something that I use literally everyday now!

Not full library

The concept of this app is great but needs to work on user interface and accuracy in search/catalog, I was unable to find books that I know are available on internet archive through the search tool on this app.

Excellent

Excellent

This app makes finding any type of media simple from the internet archive. Definitely recommend!
