Get this, if you purchase something from them, you cant download it to the app. I can download it online, so I know they are okay with me having something I purchased, but I have to SUBSCRIBE to access something I already paid for on the app. That is GREEDY and a bad user experience! […]

Horrible Chromecast support. Starts a webcast stream at the beginning EVERY time…which sucks b/c it never actually plays through. Constant crashes, so you have start from the opener even if you are way into set 2. No playback controls at all during a cast. Just ability to cast from the beginning. Have to sit here […]

I want to love the LivePhish app but it has quite a few problems as a music player. It constantly loses track of what was previously playing, a big problem if you’re listening to a jam in the car or gym and want to pick up where you left off later. It also lacks Android […]

Used to work for me, no longer does, lack of support. Every time I try to login I get the error “The livephish app is currently offline for maintenance. Please check back later.” This happens continuously, to me it seems it’s a problem with the app. Login to the website using a browser, no issues. […]

I really love this app, can never get enough Phish! But I’ve noticed that the app will randomly stop playing or go into buffer requiring me to stop and restart playback…this is the same thing Nugs app does, and it’s NOT the signal, I even tested with Speedtest, and every other app runs without issue. […]

Edit for more current. 2020 Things have improved a lot and become more reliable. Seems to be more solid on Android devices, including pixel and Galaxy devices. Great archive, mostly use the save offline functionality. ORIGINAL….2017 The app is pretty bad. It doesn’t continue to play songs without restarting them. Offline mode doesn’t work at […]

Great music terrible app. I can’t get a single show to play all the way through. Turned off battery restrictions and sleep settings. Contacted technical support and the issue keeps happening. $100 to listen to 2 minutes of uninterrupted music. Just ridiculous Edit: I have the update. It’s still crashing every session. You have me […]

I love the options available through live Phish to watch and listen to so many shows! I even subscribe monthly! It is ungodly frustrating that when another Phan sends me a “shared” song from their LivePhish app, my Android can’t open the link directly to my LivePhish app. The link opens to a browser, where […]

Still a work in progress, for years!! Somewhat improved with less crashing!! However Appreciate the response, up until recently, me having Samsung phone made it difficult for subscription services, and it still wouldn’t work on a plane while traveling (made sure to download several shows before my flight home from LA) and once again it […]

It’s worth the dough. The only improvement it needs is letting the user access their download lists when out of cell range. ATM it completely shuts the whole thing down and you have to wait until you’re in civilization before starting downloaded shows. But the sound is great, the interface is smooth, and there’s a […]

Less issues than I’ve had in the past tbh but still buggier than it should be. I’m on a Pixel 5a. iPhone people have less problems from what I’ve heard, so it must be the Android version specifically. Some Bluetooth connected devices won’t stop/start the music properly. But otherwise, it allows access to an obscene […]

Way to expensive for what it is, Im constantly running into issues with connectivity, another problem I run into is not being able just to save a show, instead you have to save it as a playlist. All in all it’s got a lot of bugs, I’ve unsubscribed before just because it wouldn’t play anything, […]

Overall very good app – huge collection of shows at your fingertips. I haven’t experienced a lot of the issues other people seem to be having, but nonetheless this app does have a few bugs that need to be fixed. One example is when my phone loses connection in the middle of a playback, the […]

Not compatible with Google Home ecosystem. Love the music in there, great app in a lot of ways as long as you just use headphones. But just doesn’t work with Chromecast and Google Homes. It just keeps restarting songs from the beginning. Over and over. Been asking customer service for help for 6 months and […]

Overall, I’m digging this app. Obviously the catalogue of music is incredible. It can be a tiny bit clunky sometimes but the app does have a certain sleekness that I think will keep getting better. One of the more frustrating bugs is when I’m listening to something, 15 min in to a 21 min song […]

great concept for listening to Phish, i use it all the time, however i do agree with several of the bugs others have already mentioned. Namely, if i lose connection or even go into poor service, the song will not resume, forcing me to change songs. Also if it goes into offline mode then the […]

Love the app, would like to see a couple things: stop playing music when you disconnect from Bluetooth, like other music apps; pick up where you left off without having to leave the app open; rename the Live Bait songs w/the proper date so when you add the song to a playlist you know what […]

The app is ok. It works, rarely have trouble. But honestly the prices are a bit excessive. I have a pretty good ear. I purchased the lossless option for $20 and could not tell a discernible difference compared to the mp3 audio at $10. The live bait series, which used to be free, isn’t free […]

Most unstable app I have. And I pay more than Spotify to have this awful experience. I am rarely able to make it thru more than 4 songs in a row before the app paused. I will have to mash the pause/play button, or skip and come back to a song in order for it […]

Essentially the worst music streaming app I has ever used, but still use it because of the content. After disconnecting from Bluetooth, it will switch to your phone speakers. Search is terrible. Cannot resume listening to a show you started earlier. No play next. I could go on, but what’s the point? The convenience factor […]
