### 1/5 — Problem

*2021-08-25, version 3.1.0*

Used to be fantastic. Crashes instantly now every time.

### 1/5 — Help

*2021-05-08, version 3.1.0*

This app won’t open at all for me. Pulls up for 1/2 second then disappears. Does not show in my recent apps list either. Any idea why this is happening or how I can fix it?

### 1/5 — It doesn’t even open

*2021-04-30, version 3.1.0*

It won’t even open beyond the splash page and then closes immediately.  On the bright side I guess it’s better to not open at all than to open and work intermittently? 🤷🏼‍♂️

### 1/5 — Crash

*2021-03-29, version 3.1.0*

I can’t even get this app to start! What happened!?

### 4/5 — Phish on demand

*2020-10-28, version 3.1.0*

I think this is hands down one of the all time greatest apps ever released

### 1/5 — App immediately crashes after latest update

*2020-07-30, version 3.1.0*

I was actually looking forward to using this app again but after the latest update it still won’t open. Crashes immediately when I try to open it.

### 1/5 — Can’t open app!

*2020-07-11, version 3.1.0*

On iOS 13.2, and I try opening the app and it shuts down immediately. I deleted the app and reinstalled it. Still the same issue. Love this app when it works!

### 1/5 — Fails to launch

*2020-06-25, version 3.1.0*

App used to work amazing. Now it won’t even launch iOS 12.4.1

### 1/5 — Sad - used to love this app

*2020-06-17, version 3.1.0*

For the past year or more I’ve occasionally re-downloaded the app to see if it’s been fixed to no avail...as soon as you attempt to open it, it crashes. I realize there are other apps, namely Relisten,  but I had hoped that I could keep this as well. Looks like it’s been 5 years since the last update! Cmon guys, make PhishOD great again!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t open. Used to be a great app

*2020-06-06, version 3.1.0*

This app used to rock, but now it doesn’t work.  It won’t open on my iPhone even after deleting and reinstalling.

### 2/5 — can’t open it

*2020-01-31, version 3.1.0*

tried redownloading and it crashed every time.

### 1/5 — Privacy issues

*2019-11-29, version 3.1.0*

Please include Google firebase in your privacy policy. Also this app is insanely buggy and causes thermal warnings. 

Be advised, your apps are now under another type of audit.

### 1/5 — My Poor Heart

*2019-11-02, version 3.1.0*

This app used to be the best... almost every live show was available on demand for free. I even said in my previous review that I would have paid for this app. 

Unfortunately, PhishOD seems to not work anymore, but is still available to download. It does not launch and sometimes causes your phone to crash if you try to use it. This is not an issue with my phone, the app just doesn’t function at all.

### 1/5 — Crashes on Startup

*2019-10-07, version 3.1.0*

Just doesn’t work at all. It crashes on bootup. Shame. 

Edit: Actually hard crashed my phone once when I tried again to open it.

### 1/5 — Crashes immediately

*2019-09-24, version 3.1.0*

Can’t even open this app

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2019-09-19, version 3.1.0*

The app doesn’t work

### 1/5 — What happened?  Crashes now

*2019-09-07, version 3.1.0*

Used to work great. Now it crashes.

### 1/5 — Quit working entirely upon iOS 12 release

*2019-09-05, version 3.1.0*

Last update was 3yrs ago.  Don't waste your time.  Rather, go to the source web page at Phish.in

### 2/5 — App closure

*2019-08-06, version 3.1.0*

I try to open the app on my iPhone 10X max and it won’t open. Flashes for a second then quits. Any thoughts on why this would be happening?

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-08-01, version 3.1.0*

This app is so buggy, it won’t even open. Downloaded to my iPhone and can’t even get into the app to try it. One star is too generous a rating.

### 5/5 — TMWSIY

*2023-08-08, version 3.1.0*

~ 7/23/23 was my last Phish Show~ I have terminal cancer.. 🎀  It was freaking rad!! I had the beast time ever dancing with my truest friends!! Thank Phish for over 30 yrs! This app Thanks for whatever you once did.. But discord hackers have it all under control!! Plan of attack.. 🛸

### 5/5 — Every live phish performance in history!

*2019-03-09, version 3.1.0*

I do not know anywhere else that I can listen to any phish performance ever at an instant.  also, you can save to listen later.  suuuuuper awesome!

### 5/5 — App is now part of Relisten

*2019-03-03, version 3.1.0*

This Phish app merged with Relisten. All the shows can be found on there. Enjoy!

### 5/5 — 5 stars for what it was

*2018-12-16, version 3.1.0*

Update this, dude. You have to use the Relisten app. It’s not as good purely for Phish, but it is the only option. Or you could subscribe to the LivePhish service.

### 5/5 — Good app for phans

*2018-10-31*

Maybe I am just lucky, but I haven’t encountered any of the issues that others have addressed. My shows play and download fine. I am using the app on my ipad mini 2. I would love to see (for the other disappointed phans) an update addressing and fixing their issues. But I love this app. When I look for an app to stream or download shows from the boys, I haven’t found anything better than PhishOD. I love that it is free also. Which is a BIG reason why I chose this app over others. And to the other phans that are complaining about as of yet no new updates, all I can say is...
Just remember it is an absolutely FREE app.

### 5/5 — The greatest app

*2018-10-27*

This was the most used app on my phone till the last iPhone update. Now it won’t open, I’m so sad.  This was the best free live phish tool!  I’m missing you terribly.

### 5/5 — I’m on couch tour with a debilitating injury

*2018-02-09, version 3.1.0*

Has pretty good quality and more shows than an aphishiando can shake a pole at...

### 5/5 — Love it! Great app!

*2017-01-27, version 3.1.0*

Love it! Great app!

### 5/5 — thank you!!

*2016-07-19, version 3.1.0*

Thank you!! A huge thanks to all that put in the work to make this app possible. Thanks to the tapers and thank you for maintaining the app. It is amazing that this exists.

### 5/5 — Way better than..

*2015-07-24, version 3.1.0*

This app is wayyy better than the Live Phish app.
