Money
No subscription = no music. Nothing is free at all. Only thing it’s semi useful for is to look up a date, a song , a show, which is already available for free in many other places. Certain people probably rolling over in their eternal slumber that their free music is not so free. 99$ a year 10$ a month. Whatever. Won’t shed a tear if it loses money
Too expensive
Very cool idea but subscription should be $2.99 a month at most. $100 a year or $10 a month for 1 band is overkill
$$$
It says in App purchases but to listen to anything you have to pay. No thanks. There are plenty of places to listen the the Dead shows for free. This is just a money grab. Move on.
I pay for nugs already
Love the Dead and have too much money? this app is for you! Real heads Trade tapes! Or at least use Relisten & the Internet archive!
Required account and tracking? Hard pass.
Look at the "App Privacy" section and ask yourself do you want to be tracked so your Dead show playlist, along with more personal info, sold to the highest bidder? Most likely not.
Also this is streaming only meaning shows can disappear on a second's notice.
Thankfully the vast majority of traders don't require an account or "...track you across apps and websites owned by other companies." Please visit them.

Novel Idea…
However, why would anyone pay a $100/year for stuff that has been available on Archive for YEARS! And yes, even soundboards!! I am a supporter of the taping community who NEVER charged for their recordings.. I love the GD scene and fam but again, paying for stuff that is available for free is ridiculous.
