Great when right, annoying when wrong
Generous 3/5 stars because of the attempt, and the fact that I *want* to love the app...we need things like what this app attempts to accomplish.
App does not have every show in database, I tried several three consecutive song samples from various late 60s shows, and app tells me that there is no show in database, yet I clearly have the show audio to know it exists irl.
Shows from mid 70s forward seem pretty present in the database. By the mid 70s, the dead had a nice long list of songs that people associate with them, as opposed to lesser known songs and covers from the late 60s/early 70s.
I have been decently pacified with accuracy with shows from ~75-1995, with a few exceptions, all based on the random shows that I happened to try. I don’t think that fair thee well shows are in the database...
Okay, honestly, I feel like an app like this should have every song, every set list, every show that appears on archive.org...since it is a common source of information that is accessible to everyone. As is, the app is missing information that is present on Archive.org, or on setlist.fm. I love the app idea, and the same idea websites that used to do the same thing, but ppl won’t use if they try a show and don’t get a correct answer.
