App has always been buggy but now it will not connect to Chromecast. Can we please get some sort of way to stream this to a hifi stereo setup? There is a hifi tier but no good way to connect to a high quality dac or streamer (eversolo, wiim ultra, etc).
Nugs sucks. They are selectively disallowing this app on certain devices. Why should I need to wire up my phone to listen to my LivePhish purchased catalog? You used to be able to install it on BlueStacks and listen to your catalog on any computer. Nugs used to be all about the people sharing music, you guys are far from it now.
crashes all the friggin time! monthly subscriber for several years. been happening since new app came out in 2023. the one reliable thing about it is that it's gonna crash. but when? 3, 42, 28 minutes in? who knows? but after pressing play, this app just randomly stops. rarely, it will work without issues for a few days. but then it just starts crashing again, randomly. in the middle of a show or song. thought it was a phone issue. got a new phone and it still happens. I feel totally ripped off.
garbage, you can not use your phone while it's streaming a webcast.
Love the band, but it's a ripoff. I have a bunch of shows in my stash, not can't download them. I mostly listen to Phish in the car, which means I'd have to stream them and end up paying more money in data than the show even costs. It's a stupid money grab that I can't download shows I've paid for.
Doesn't have a free version like Spotify. I live in a country without Phish so I don't want to subscribe. One time payment is more acceptable.
Unlistenable. Cannot play a single song without multiple dropouts. No other streaming app is this bad.
App was working great but over the past month songs are loading very slowly and I'm getting random pauses making for a very disconnected music listening experience.
New livestream video player is glitchy as heck. DRM is extremely annoying and makes it so I can't use Hue Sync for my Hue lights. DITCH THE DRM! It's ruining the whole experience.
live fish opens automatically on my Android auto. I tried to contact support but they would not or could not help me. lovelife fish when I want to use it it's but if I use other apps like Spotify or mixcloud and I have the setting on Android auto to not play music automatically, it's still turns on live fish every single time I turn on the car. if anyone has a fix would love to know but customer service just closed the ticket without helping me.
Please remove the security features that prevent this app from being casted to streamers. I pay for CD quality but this app only streams through Bluetooth. Super lame that it's locked down when other apps like Qobuz and SiriusXM don't have such restrictions.
Please update to Google Cast and I'll subscribe again. It is Google's new standard and claiming it's my device that is at issue is wrong on your part. Changing to two stars as I do appreciate the quality of the app. I'm still waiting for with to consider making the app compatible with streaming devices that moved on from the discontinued Chromecast variant.
