Amazing library! ### 5/5 — Absolutely the best *2026-08-16, version 6.1.3* Incredible library of live Dead. Every show and nearly have been remastered. Easy interface. Recordings of shows from some other great bands as well. Thank you, thank you for this. You have made this Deadhead very happy. ### 5/5 — Great — accounts to sync library *2026-07-19, version 6.1.3* Great app! I wish there was an account system so you could sync your library across devices ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2026-06-03, version 6.1.2* Easy to navigate. So many sources! ### 5/5 — Holy Grail for live music *2026-04-14, version 6.1.0* The best app esp for deadheads. Endless live music. ### 1/5 — New update as of yesterday *2026-04-13, version 6.1.0* App doesn’t open ! App support doesn’t work either ### 5/5 — My favorite app ever *2026-04-12, version 6.1.0* This app gives you access to every show on archive.org. If you are into live music, you must get this. No cost, no personal data mining, just an amazing app to help you build a library of the best available live music. You can even download shows for offline listening. I can’t say enough good things about this. Thank you to the team! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-04-04, version 6.0.3* This app is the best. I’ve been reliving my youth listening to old shows. And it has the one time I saw Jerry live which is just simply amazing considering that it is 35 years old. Thank you. ### 1/5 — Frequently fails in its most basic function as a music player *2026-03-22, version 6.0.3* Crashing, pausing, skipping, not saving your place. Been going on several years. Time to bail to another app. ### 4/5 — Perfection… except… *2026-03-05* This app is great, but it still has its problems (as everything does). One big problem I have seen is that sometimes I will wanna Relisten to a transition from song to song or something of such. Sometimes it doesn’t fast forward to the point requested, other times it will play where it was fast forwarded to but also continue playing the other version, it plays the song 2 times at the same time, and the only way to fix it is to reset the app. I don’t know if this is possible fix but if anyone else has this problem please write your own review to help the developers see the problem. ## Frequently asked questions about Relisten ### What is this app?
