Ratings and Reviews
“May take a while”
As in “the rest of your day” type of while. Then, after it takes a while, I get a “failed” notification, at least that’s what it’s been doing lately.
Like most everyone else, I don’t quite understand the purpose of this app. I’m saving pages for the heck of it but don’t see how the app is supposed to help me enjoy them. In addition, it’s buggy.
You’d think that a great and essential website such as the archive, our main keepers of web history, would offer an app up to par with it but that’s not the case here at all.
Confusing
The Internet Archive app was and still is difficult for me to navigate. For example, after finding a particular show on Google that led me to the archives, and so I created an account. At that time I was able to watch what I had found and add it to “my favorites”. Later on, I downloaded the app. I tried logging in, and it said that I have an account but “my favorites” aren’t there. There’s no option to find them either. However, I have google on my fire stick and was able to access it there, along with my favorites. So, it’s very confusing. As with other reviewers, I agree there should be other input options other than only being able to use the URL. Also, 2 days after having “my favorites” saved and able to watch a few, as of today, there’s a video error and those “files” will no longer play. None of them and I can’t “favorite” them either. I don’t know what kind of glitch that is, but I believe I’d you work out those minor “bugs”, the app would be great. Not too shabby for now though, great start.
5 ⭐️ potential, but...🤔 please update‼️
The Archive has enough talented admirers to improve the two IA apps. Improving them is long overdue.
Everyone loves the Internet Archive and the incredible effort that goes into it. It's indispensable for students and lovers of knowledge the world over. It greatly expands access to knowledge and keeps liars at bay with the truth of original sources. It's obviously a labor of love. Thank you!
It's time to level up your two apps, time to make them world-class. Brewster: please tap into your volunteer resources. *Read the critical reviews*, take them seriously, and update❗️
