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 app. Looking forward to future developments.

Excellent

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

Amazing App

I’m absolutely loving this App.

Terrible

Hardly any pieces of information are actually accessible and if you want them not to have the spelling errors a 2nd grader would produce you have to download the whole document to your phone. Terrible, needs so much work should not have been allowed on the App Store. Nonfunctional.

Extremely Useful

Archivist does a terrific job of making the mobile user experience of The Internet Archive far more fluid. Finding things is easy, and the app is light and quick.

Highly recommend

Zero issues

Excellent app for the Internet Archive is

The Internet Archive is the ultimate collection of data but can be very frustrating to navigate. This app solves that problem and really fills the void between data and easily accessed data. It’s an excellent tool.

Superb resource

Much better than the browser experience which puts everything in a frame. Here you can read archived material full screen with the option to zoom. You can also bookmark your favorites. Love it.

An excellent app for browsing the Internet Archive

App fully lives up to its title by letting you comfortably browse the extensive library of the Internet

A brilliant way to access the Internet Archive

The app makes it quick and easy to browse books, images, video and other resources that can be cumbersome on the Internet Archive’s website. The app’s clean interface and search make finding content and information for reference dead simple. The app maker has worked hard to upgrade it's features and it would be my first choice when wanting to find legitimate free resources from the internet archive. They even give you the control to be able to view the resource directly on the Internet Archive so you can choose the source that fits your needs. I'm looking forward to future updates that will allow you to read books or view other content in your favorite apps. Definitely recommend.

Very convenient

It’s so nice to be able to browse Internet Archive in a mobile friendly way. The interface is very clean and works great. Search works great as well. I have already found many neat pieces of media that I would have had a much harder time finding on the Internet Archive website. There is hours upon hours of entertainment and knowledge via Internet Archive and this app makes it so easy to access it.

Modern and Intuitive

The Internet Archive is an incredibly important resource for all things cultural heritage, but doesn’t have the most accessible or intuitive interface. Archivist is a huge step forward, providing a clean and user-friendly mobile approach to the riches in the IA. The app would benefit from enhanced search filters, though.
