Pros and cons of The Internet Archive Companion app for iPhone and iPad

The Internet Archive Companion app good for

This app is exactly what was needed to stream archive.org content to a phone! Looking forward to hopefully more updates. Would love to see the ability to login to archive.org to access your profile and the ability to save content to the phone.

Great stuff here , lovely interface , possibly the best archive.org app .. one glaring thing thats missing tho, is to be able to sort "by year" when browsing live concerts , as its like trying to find a needle in a haystack trying to find a certain show :( its very easy to do so on the web GUI, so Im assuming this isnt a hugely inconvenient request ? Thanks again for the amazing work :) !

Wonderful to see the IA on the iPhone/ iPad platform - Way to go Hunter :)

Great app. Hope to see new updates coming soon. (e.g. ability to copy links directly from app, download options).

This app is the best. I have access to each and every book I can think of and I have downloaded and read offline some of the rarest ones which arent even available on project Gutenberg.

Some bad moments

I cant get this app to do anything but crash. It opens initially, but once I click on anything, down it does.

This app doesnt work anymore. Did the developer give up? Although the UI wasnt the best, this app used to be great, but now whenever I search for anything at all it just crashes completely. You can play things that are on the front page etc but without the search function, all of the best stuff is rendered unavailable. I would easily put my review back up to 4 stars if the developer would do a quick update but as of right now it seems the app is dead in the water. Too bad too because it was the only Internet Archive app available.

Whats going on? As soon as I search for anything, it crashes.

I downloaded this with high hopes, but every time I search something, the app crashes. Cmon people? GET YOUR GAME UP

Would like the option to view and control audio cursor position. Its a great app, looking forward to a more stable release.

As soon as you open up the app, it thinks, then crashes! Awful!
