### 5/5 — tape traders dream!

*2026-05-28, version 4.0.7*

having the ability to pull up just about any dead tape on my phone is the future i didn’t know i needed.

### 4/5 — Overall great, but…

*2025-11-24, version 4.0.6*

I love this app but the playback controls behave very oddly. If you’re playing a track and want to skip back to the beginning, pressing the skip backward button goes to the previous track unlike every other media player I’ve ever used: it should start the song over. Instead, what happens is that it skips to the beginning of the previous track. If you then press the skip forward button, it will return to the original track, with the playhead still at whatever time it was at when you first tried to start it over.

What should happen: the first time you press the skip backward button, it should seek to the beginning of the current track. Pressing it again should take you to the previous track. It should never remember where the playhead was when skipping between tracks.

### 3/5 — Loved the app before,big problems now though...

*2025-05-05, version 4.0.1*

Not being able to filter by year for concert recordings on mobile makes this app basically unusable. Sorry, I’m sure a lot of work went into this, but that’s just crazy. Just tried to “search” a Grateful Dead show by 9/27/1976 and September 27, 1976 - neither had results even though there are at least 5 sources available on Archive. You have to add the year filter back.

### 4/5 — Can’t read show reviews

*2025-04-10, version 4.0.0*

With the latest update (April 2025) the show reviews aren’t accessible…or I came see where to access them. That’s half the fun! Also, I liked being able to sort by year. Other than that, I’m happy with the new layout.

### 5/5 — Recent updates

*2025-04-07, version 4.0.0*

This app has been the #1 I’ve used for many years so thank you so much!  The recent updates have made it much more stable.  One kind request would be to bring back the avg star rating for each show when scrolling and the reviews as I relied on that heavily to find some gems in the Grateful Dead collection.  It would also be so amazing if somehow the fill info files could be linked to as those had some great data.  Thanks again Dan, keep up the great work!

### 3/5 — Nice new interface but lost all favorites

*2025-04-05, version 4.0.0*

Nice new interface but in the transition, all of my favorite shows from the years of use of the previous versions were lost. Bummer

### 1/5 — Why fix what’s not broken

*2025-04-04, version 4.0.0*

Loved the previous version, I can’t search by artist or by years anymore. Why would you change what worked so well?
Sadly disappointed with this version.

### 5/5 — Thanks for the update..

*2025-04-03, version 4.0.0*

So far, I’m loving the improvements! I use this app daily.

### 4/5 — Update needed?

*2024-10-17, version 2.0.6*

I love this app and use it all the time. However, I haven’t been able to use it since the iOS 18 update. Could be unrelated, but I uninstalled, reinstalled, unplugged the universe and plugged it back in. All that. Might need an update. I don’t know.
