### 4/5 — Still a top notch show at times

*2026-04-23, version 8.9.2*

Although there are many great competing podcasts that I prefer listening to do to the fact that they are less focused on hocking products, inserting too much filler and don’t have the same shows and callers over and over like this show does, I still love it at times. Plus, a lot of the guests and the hosts are getting old and irrelevant. The good news is, this show does have its advantages, it’s a format that has stood the test of time, has a huge base audience (that is aging and shrinking), and on a good night, George still proves he’s the best interviewer with some top notch guests! The website/app is great as are the spin off podcasts. Try to stay on top of current events with breaking news type shows like you used to. There are many hot paranormal and global topics that the show is missing out on. Instead of doing a show on it, now, it just gets a few minutes at the beginning of the show if at all. Still love y’all!!

### 4/5 — Searching shows by month/year broken

*2026-03-08, version 8.9.2*

At some point recently, filtering shows by month and year no longer finds old shows on the app. It says no content found.  Looking up shows by date on the website still works.  Can you fix?

Update: Searching by month/year works again after most recent update.  Thank you

### 4/5 — Needs to remove the ads for the insider

*2026-02-23, version 8.9*

I’ve been an insider for a few years now & love the show & how I can listen to any episode anytime & search for guests  & every show they’ve been on comes up for me to listen to on my time & save the shows in my own custom playlist to hear them all without having to touch my phone to pick the next show to hear next. 

However it’s very frustrating to be subjected to ads that I have to skip through or speed up the ads to 2x to move through them faster for all the shows except the Art Bell vault which has it the way it should be for insiders who pay for the show access but should not have to tolerate all the ads in between segments making us have to skip through during every break .

It’s really not convenient to be trying to listen to the show while driving or laying down falling asleep or trying to multi task while having to constantly do that to get past the same old ads for same products  I would never be interested in buying or trying.

The ads for becoming a coast insider are really ridiculous to have to skip over since I am an insider who doesn’t need to be sold on trying it.

Those ads just make me feel frustrated that I have to constantly deal with this interruption along with the other ads that I don’t when I’m in the Art Bell vault shows so that’s been what I mainly choose to hear for the ad free non stop experience which should be the case for all shows the insiders have access to .

Is there a way to make a special insider version of all the shows that are completely ad free non stop experience interruptions that like the Art Bell vault allows us to hear the show without needing to stop what we are doing to have to skip over the ads we shouldn’t have to be dealing with as a paying member. 

The Art Bell vault shows are all as free so that proves it’s possible to do for a new & improved version for insiders only .

An insiders only Ad free app with a chat room for other listeners to comment & messages to each other would also be a great addition for the coast family community.

### 4/5 — Unnecessary updates

*2026-01-04, version 8.8*

Why does it say every time I open the app I need to update and then the Apple Store just shows ‘open’ for the app?

### 2/5 — App needs to be fixed

*2025-12-24, version 8.8*

Problems: 1 George Noory is the best, but sometimes is obvious he’s just reading from a list of questions. Not engaging with guests at all, just cuts them off. At least give the guests a heads up before cutting them off. 2 When I open the app it says it needs an update. But when I go to the Apple App store, it says there is no update available. 3 If you play one show, then try to open a different show after hitting play it doesn’t play, you have to close and reopen the app.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2025-10-30, version 8.7.4*

Simple and easy to use. Perfect way to enjoy C2CAM.

### 5/5 — Was locked up down south and was innocent had to do nine months till I was found innocent,

*2025-09-07, version 8.6*

I was arrested and did nine months down south and every jail down south I was innocent and had to do nine months until I was found not guilty. I had did time and Paul Ryan, Conti, North Broward bureau, Fort Lauderdale, Maine, and Pompano I was eventually found innocent after doing nine months incarcerated was a very hard time in my life, and I had purchased a radio through the system for Conti for your goods and snacks and sweaters, and I got a radio, and the only thing I’d listen to was coast-to-coast. That’s the only thing that got me through my almost year being Locked up for something I didn’t do . But long story short I would listen to coast 2 coast all the time and it was the only thing to keep my level headed while waiting on god to help me prove my innocence. I was guilty until I could prove I wasn’t . Things have changed big time in life .
Come on vacation leave on probation and return on a vop violation of the probation. Only here In good ole Florida that’s what we do now days i remember being a kid running threw and playing in orange groves as a kid and this place has changed so much you can’t even grow your own food let alone All the food the sell is bad outdated or just down right fake foods . No more orange groves no more growing your own food they want you to depend on the government it’s sad .

### 5/5 — Zero Issues with the app or the show

*2025-09-05, version 8.6*

I find it funny how people think the show leans right when I myself think the show leans left. What a time to be alive!

### 1/5 — Am insult to Art Bell

*2025-08-05, version 8.0*

If it wasn’t bad enough that George Snoory is a bad host, he’s also a full blown Trumpie too. Screw this guy, I’m never subscribing to this show or giving them my money ever again.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Not working again

*2026-04-20, version 8.9.2*

Broken again.

### 1/5 — Age Asking

*2026-04-09, version 8.9.2*

Super annoying it asks for age verification every time open. Please fix this bug otherwise great app.

### 1/5 — Unreliable Live Streaming

*2026-04-01, version 8.9.2*

The title states the problem. This is the most unreliable live content streaming app I have, and the only that is yearly charged for. Now in 2026 (complained about this before) and it is still unreliable. Tonight on 4/1/2026 it just plays music. Come on, c2c, can you fix this?

### 1/5 — App stinks

*2026-01-31, version 8.9*

Paid til may wont let me listen keeps trying to charge me. Ridiculous

### 1/5 — Two thumbs down!!!!!

*2025-12-29, version 8.8*

I'm very disappointed! I agree with all the bad reviews below. Listening to the show of last night I got cut off in every hour and when I try to listen to the show live it won't work so I have to use a different app. This upgrade was just to downgrade and I wish I could get back to the old one. Anyone knows how to get it back?

UPDATE In December 28, 2025:
The latest update is asking me to update it every time I open the app. It’s not working. Why is this an issue? Bad techno work, yet, I still keep paying for the C2C membership for this!

### 1/5 — boring

*2025-12-22, version 8.8*

they don’t call him George snooty for nothing

### 1/5 — No More

*2025-12-20, version 8.8*

App is buggy now and lm done after my subscription ends.

### 1/5 — App not working as usual

*2025-08-30, version 8.0*

And as usual I paid for subscription And yet again can’t listen on app but I see I’m not the only one. Not to mention it stopped being C2C more politics and snake oil, fake health advisors & supplement sellers on every couple weeks,

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2025-08-14, version 8.0*

This app with the tiny little buttons that you can hardly press, it constantly asks me to sign in, if I don’t download the shows and clutter my phone up, I have to listen to all the advertising. Am I paying monthly for this? Why am I hearing all this advertising? Even if I download shows, you still sneak in. This is a broken model, podcasts are free

### 1/5 — Feds (apple google) El Paso Texas

*2025-08-14, version 8.0*

People that manufacture and distribute child pornographic images on Pornhub fake apps fake iOS software updates to conduct sophisticated phishing attacks then pose as google and apple employees while cooperating with the Federal Bureau of Investigation The Drug Enforcement Agency The Department of Homeland Security were caught using this app to track iOS users after installing viruses on android devices. These hackers (federal informants) were caught in El Paso Texas.

### 5/5 — I drive most of the night

*2026-08-19, version 8.9.2*

The programs can be soooo interesting. Keeps me on the edge of my seat. Sometimes i dont care for some of the content but theres always things to learn. And i enjoy hearing the regular callers on the line. Makes me feel like they are friends.

### 5/5 — Sell Fish, Shell Fish

*2026-06-13, version 8.9.2*

I started w/ Art Bell back in the mid 1980.  Saw his residence.  Very quiet cul-de-sac, broad cast tower, barrier wall to protect his Winnebago (?).
    Then George took over, Art retired.  Thanks! Mr. Noory, best of the best‼️

### 5/5 — What’s going on?

*2026-04-22, version 8.9.2*

I can’t play the recent shows and tried to reinstall and login.  I appreciate the old content, but it seems like a several-days problem. *The issue was resolved and I received a notification that it was.

### 5/5 — App was fixed very quickly!

*2026-04-21, version 8.9.2*

For the last two months, the app was great, but now it won’t play any of the shows. 

Update: I received an email shortly after posting my review that the app has been fixed and I’m able to listen to the shows! Thank you!!

### 5/5 — Long time fan

*2026-02-07, version 8.9*

I’ve been a long time fan of C2C. I use to stay up late as a little kid to listen to the shows. I love having the app now with the ability to listen to the new stuff and also have the chance to go back and listen to the classics.

### 5/5 — Broadcasting

*2026-01-09, version 8.8.2*

I wish there were more feeds in western Canada. I always loved to listen on long lonely nights driving my rig

### 5/5 — LOVE💖C2C💝

*2025-12-31, version 8.8*

I just love Coast2CoastAM since the Mid 90s when a zany, “cool” friend recommended it to me. It was like discovering a too good to be true, wonderful show that continues to provide me with fascinating, mesmerizing entertainment for years. Never a late night plagued with anxiety ever since. I just listen to my fellow Detroit native George Noory discuss mysterious topics with fun guests to forget my troubles, worries or mundane concerns until I finally fall asleep. In recent years I listen whenever I want on this app which works great for the most part. I attribute any app problem to my own cellular/wifi signal issues when they happen and I suggest others consider that too. Listening makes housework more pleasant or gardening even more enjoyable. Thank you and I hope your show stays on forever…It’s a blessing to have something to focus on late at night.

### 5/5 — Cool

*2025-12-25, version 8.8*

Best

### 5/5 — Love this.

*2025-12-13, version 8.7.4*

I’m on ESTime so the live show doesn’t come on until 1am. Which means I only turn it on during the night if I wake up and can’t sleep. 
     But I can download select shows to listen to while driving or walking anytime. 
     And like now it’s 10pm and I’m going to bed listening on the app to a previous show with the timer on.

### 5/5 — Hosts

*2025-11-04, version 8.7.4*

This show is awesome EXCEPT when Connie Willis is trying to host.  She is terrible and I would not give her any stars.  
PLEASE use all of the regular and new guest hosts.
