Overall great, but…

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.

Loved the app before,big problems now though...

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.

Can’t read show reviews

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.

Recent updates

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!

Nice new interface but lost all favorites

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

Why fix what’s not broken

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.

Thanks for the update..

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

Update needed?

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.

ETREE Issues

I have not been able to stream any music over the last couple days. I bring up a show / specific tune and it basically fast forwards through the setlist then goes blank. So I see all the shows just can’t listen to anything. Sadly.
I tried downloading the App again to no avail.

Any recommendations?

App stopped working months ago and hasn’t been fixed

Can I get a refund?

Crashes

Fix your app, it crashes every time I open it. Then I delete it and redownload it, and it STILL doesn’t work. Sweet!

Great app but not pulling all artists from LMA

I love the app and use it often but it doesn’t seem to be pulling a complete list of artists from the Live Music Archive. I’ve also noticed that sometime it won’t show set one and you can only listen to set two. Would be awesome if it got an update/fix. Otherwise I love this app and prefer it over the others that pull from LMA.

Dan Thank You

👍👍👍👍👍

Near Perfect, But Due For An Update

This has been one of my favorite apps for several years now, but recently it has been crashing before the app even opens. Very disappointing, as I much prefer this interface over other similar options. I really hope that a fix is in the works and the kinks can be worked out.

Crashes when I download

App is super cool. Streaming these shows like this is a gift. I’m giving only 4 stars because the app crashes when I select a show to download. I was only able to get one show downloaded before it started doing that. Please update the app with a solution, it would be perfect!

What happened to this app?

Love this app. But over the last year and be experienced a ton of problems. When trying to stream a show it either just hangs or if I’m listening to a show it shuts off when my iPhone XR goes back to the Home Screen or if I switch to a different app. You have to constantly restart your device. I’ve already confirmed this is not my device. Please fix this

Hidden gem. Thank you!

Many thanks to the developer, Dan, for taking the time build this app. Sure, it’s a little buggy with how it will crash if you attempt to search for an artist using the icon at the bottom of the interface but the search tool at the top works fine (just be sure to type a band’s name verbatim, e.g. bands that start with “The” do require starting with The ____).

I am super grateful for having a convenient way to stream from this treasure trove of live music.

Great app

This app is wonderful. It's stable, intuitive and reliable. Now to make it perfect let's get it approved for Apple Carplay use!
--------
Had to remove a star as now it crashes every time I try to download a show. And I have a ton of space.

Doesn’t work on slow internet

It hangs forever trying to load a song to play. Useless for me on a satellite.
