Ratings and Reviews
Super efficient and helpful
I find myself using this app a lot more than I expected. I’m actually at a festival this weekend, and saw a guy in the audience that I could swear is in a band that I listen to semi-regularly. Immediately pull up the app, clicked on the band photo (the thumbnail enlarges, and the quality of the photos are typically great), and I was able to confirm it was him all in about 15 seconds. Of course I immediately introduce myself and tell him how much I love his latest album. Decent dude!
Developer Response ,
Thank you for sharing your experience. I am very glad that the app can help people in real life situations 🤘🤘🤘
If you’re a metalhead, you NEED this app
I’ve been a fan of the Metal Archives website for a few years now (I didn’t make an account until I found out they had an app, I just perused the site) and as soon as I found out they have an app, I was like ‘ARE YOU FREAKIN SERIOUS’ and I gotta say, I’m not disappointed. I was browsing the site from my phone and that gets annoying, having to zoom in and out an whatnot, but having an app makes that issue completely disappear. It’s super easy to use, very useful for finding new bands, and their information as far as I can tell is pretty much always 100% accurate. My only complaint with the app version is there’s no way to write your reviews, so I have to do it from the browser (there probably is a way to do it in the app but I’m pretty dumb so idk). Anyway, this app is amazing and I’m super grateful for it!
Helpful, but one problem
This is a very helpful and informative app, however there is one glaring problem that prevents this from being perfect; before the update, when viewing the upcoming albums tab, it had allowed you to view all upcoming albums instead of released albums and albums releasing a few days from then. I see this as a downgrade from the previous version, other than this problem, the app has stuck with me for the better of a year as it is incredibly useful when wanting to learn about old or new bands.
