### 4/5 — Perfection… except…

*2026-03-05, version 6.0.3*

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.

### 4/5 — Needs Fixing

*2026-02-11, version 6.0.3*

Love the app but I can’t stream songs on my phone. On the iPad I have no problems. Would love to get it fixed

### 3/5 — When will CarPlay be available

*2026-02-03, version 6.0.3*

Still missing CarPlay

### 3/5 — Venue and Location Info Gone Missing

*2026-01-22, version 6.0.3*

The ultimate live music treasure trove and my go-to app, but it’s a shame that in the GD listings the majority of the locations and venue data are no longer visible when you view the shows by date within a given year. Not really sure what happened here.

### 3/5 — What’s up with the show reviews?

*2026-01-22, version 6.0.3*

I wanna give this app 5 stars… I’m so happy that it exists. It’s not perfect, though. Occasionally get crashes and/or random resets to the Home Screen.

The biggest issue I have, though, is that reading the reviews and comments left on Archive. Now, when I click on the review button, it shows me like three, tops, but allows me to scroll all the way down to what should be the earliest review. During this long scroll, I see only the blue background. Clearly not working as intended, and the reviews are an indispensable part of listening to the Grateful Dead on archive.

### 5/5 — Game changer

*2026-01-13, version 6.0.3*

Consider this app a gift! Well done & oh so grateful!

### 5/5 — Love It!

*2026-01-06, version 6.0.3*

Great way to relive many concerts. Love it!

### 5/5 — Thanks

*2025-12-14, version 6.0.3*

Just thanks! That’s all I have for this app! I used to love hunting down tapes on lot back in the 1900’s. I feel like coming across this app was the ultimate payoff for a lifetime devoted to music! I love that this can help me find just about anything I can think of. thanks so much to the creators!

### 5/5 — Redesign saved Relisten

*2025-12-08, version 6.0.3*

Ever since the app was overhauled it’s become indispensable.

### 5/5 — All you need…

*2025-12-06, version 6.0.3*

Most stable IA scrobbler. Plays all the jams. 😎

### 5/5 — Thanks RE

*2025-11-22, version 6.0.3*

All the music that matters in one place. Thanks to all the tapers still out there and to Relisten for providing the place to hear it all

### 4/5 — Cumbersome Interface

*2025-11-19, version 6.0.3*

The content is five-star, but the interface is not intuitive and I find myself clicking all over the place trying to find what I want to find and play what I want to play.

### 5/5 — THE BEST

*2025-11-08, version 6.0.3*

Simply the best a live music fan could ask for. Free and open source, based on the extensive catalog of archive.org, all packaged in an elegant UI. 🤌🤌

### 5/5 — New Relisten

*2025-09-12, version 6.0.3*

Is awesome.  Thank you for putting the phish shows in order lol.  Was so confusing before.

### 1/5 — Buggier and worse each release

*2026-08-29, version 6.1.4*

Learn how to use AI or code. Your choice. But this app is straight garbage. Cuts out when a BT device connects and kills your APi connection, tons of security holes (I can use your API and reveal all user data). And your code is intercepting BT audio- against the law. Reported to FCC.

### 1/5 — New update as of yesterday

*2026-04-13, version 6.1.0*

App doesn’t open ! App support doesn’t work either

### 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.

### 1/5 — terrible

*2025-12-24, version 6.0.3*

app constantly freezes and crashes. the new search is awful ~ why not list by year like it used to do? now you have to scroll thru the ENTIRE CATALOG to find what you want!! waste of time ... your app is now shlt

### 1/5 — Jammus Interruptus

*2025-11-15, version 6.0.3*

Possibly the worst app I’ve ever used. Or st least on my phone. Right up there with Ace Hardware app (a noted joke). Just abysmal. 

Not intuitive. Constantly crashes. Plays double audio of the same track at different points. Randomly disconnects from server with zero actual wifi/cell service issues. Has mislsbeled 

Is it money you need? Just make a paid version that *actually works* and people will pay for it. The 40+ jamcusties are shelling out $30/month for Nugz AND LivePhish. They could spare the extra $2/mo for Relisten. 

Bad.

### 1/5 — No CarPlay = 1 Star

*2025-11-06, version 6.0.3*

Subject says it all. Please bring it back.

### 1/5 — Buggy and unreliable

*2025-08-20, version 6.0.3*

This has been my go-to app for listening to live music for years. The last major update lost all that data, and the app remains buggy and unreliable, often crashing.

### 1/5 — really bad

*2025-08-13, version 6.0.3*

have used relisten for years. this new update is not it. it’s really bad. specifically - doesn’t let me skip to a certain part of a song and also exits out randomly. also lately its been doing this thing where it plays two different parts of the same song. just really odd and bad.

### 1/5 — Buggy. Crashes all the time.

*2025-07-21, version 6.0.3*

Just a garbage AI slop app, disappointed is an understatement for an app like this. They had 13 years to update it and now this garbage is what they give you. I don’t care if it’s free, the code isn’t open source anymore and the devs are divas.

### 1/5 — This app is worse than before the update. Works once in a while.

*2025-07-13, version 6.0.1*

SMH

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.

### 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.

### 5/5 — Add JGB

*2026-03-04, version 6.0.3*
