I really want to love this app but for the few weeks that I've had it, it's got a couple serious flaws. The biggest flaw is that at least half of the programs don't play at all, no matter how long I wait. Doesn't matter if I'm using wifi or my own data, a lot of good shows that I REALLY want to listen to don't open at all. Also, this app could really use a timer for auto shut-off. All you really can is either listen to a single program and it shuts off or it goes non-stop. I'd really like some feedback from the app's developers as to how the main issue can be corrected. On the pro side, I absolutely love the depth and sheer quantity of programs on here. I was happily surprised to find my favorite show, Mindwebs, on here. Too bad I can't listen to all the episodes! ☹️

I am a huge fan of the old radio shows and this app has a huge library of content. Unfortunately, there is very little of their library that you can play. There have been huge flaws in their content for several years now. A huge percentage of their content will not play. A program will load and begin to play, but it almost always will play back the same snippet over and over and skip around continuously. It is impossible to listen to most programs. They either need to fix the problems with the app or take it down altogether. Either they do not know how to fix the problems or simply don’t care. What a shame that such exquisite content cannot be accessed. Please fix your app!!!!

I love old time radio show and have bought numerous Old Time Radio hard drives for old computers, MP3 CDs,Audio CDs in the past and finally apps for my smartphone prior to discovering this application. This app isn’t perfect but it has almost every Old Time Radio show imaginable. 10s of Thousands of Hours (probably months maybe years) of Old Time Radio. Over a thousand of hours-episodes of CBS Radio mystery hour, 350 or more episodes of Dragnet over 600 episodes of Gunsmoke. 100s of other OTR (Old Time Radio) Shows!! Yes occasionally a show won’t load but it beats paying $1-$5 for individual shows or listening to Podcasts with annoying advertising. If I want to listen to Advertising the OTR Shows often include the original advertising.
