### 3/5 — Anthony is a legend

*2024-11-09, version 14.902*

Been a fan for 20 years, I have a crush on him.

### 3/5 — I hit the wrong star 🤷‍♂️

*2024-10-02, version 14.902*

Been there from the beginning and will be there when you’re ready to hang it up,which I believe it might be sooner than later.

### 3/5 — Love except

*2024-07-09, version 14.902*

The fast forward and rewind function on the progress bar is terrible. Not nearly as accurate as the last app. However overall I like the new app better.

### 3/5 — Great content but app is a failure

*2024-04-29, version 14.902*

Been with this show since he left O&A but the app is the worst. Deletes saved shows which is the worst. A true free speech platform but it’s time to go, cancelled today. Would be 5 stars if the app worked. Plus there is a button that heaven forbid it gets pressed, resets the show.

### 1/5 — Constantly cuts out on live shows

*2024-03-20, version 14.902*

Most recent show where Anthony actually made it to work, 15 minutes after the show is set to start, the app would constantly beach ball. I had to give up on it.

### 2/5 — Needs more work

*2024-02-23, version 14.902*

App frequently logs you out and loses all your downloads. Even in the middle of a show.

### 1/5 — Impossible

*2024-02-19, version 14.902*

I can’t review the app itself because I can’t even subscribe. Not on the app nor on the main website itself. If you hit subscribe to a payment option, it just says “sorry please try again”. Same with the website. I’ve emailed twice with this issue and have not gotten any sort of response. I’m basically telling them take my money and it seems no one wants it. Oh well. On to something else I guess.

### 1/5 — This app is a piece of crap

*2024-01-09, version 14.902*

This app is awful. Big fan but this app blows.

### 4/5 — The Free speech network

*2023-12-09*

I love Compound Media, it’s the last bastion of free speech that we have. The BOSS Anthony Cumia is a legend in the broadcasting world and as the great Patrice O’Neal once said “can access funny quicker than anyone”. Been a subscriber for a long time and the app does get better, the only issue is the episodes appear out of order at times. Other than that, this is probably the best version to date. Shows like In Hot Water with Geno Bisconte, the Dump with Steve Conti and other great shows. Great booth talent with Garrett (the legendary stinky back in the day), Steve (a hidden gem), Drew and my boy BOBBY. The amount of laughs and unfiltered opinions on current world topics are worth the subscription alone. Do yourself a favor and subscribe. Fair warning, NOT for snowflakes or those easily offended.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Wet Fart

*2025-07-12, version 14.902*

Downloaded the app after subscribing, hoping to get episodes to have on my phone.  But it won’t even open at all.

### 1/5 — Apps been down for weeks

*2025-06-24, version 14.902*

App hasn’t worked for weeks and no one seems to care to fix it. Censored TV doesn’t take compound credentials and tweeting anyone at compound does nothing. I just renewed 2 months ago. Complete waste of money

### 1/5 — No shows

*2025-06-17, version 14.902*

For over a week the screen immediately goes black and a message saying “whoops” try again
Over and over and 😑😑

### 1/5 — Great show, bad app

*2025-04-01, version 14.902*

The company that maintains this app just can’t keep it working properly. 
This has nothing to do with the content of the shows on the app

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2025-01-25, version 14.902*

A member since day 1, I’m now not receiving any new episodes with my subscription, and no access to censored TV

### 1/5 — Can’t do it anymore

*2025-01-24, version 14.902*

After being a loyal fan and paying subscription for about 10 years I had to finally cancel. Was holding on to see if they could fix the bugs but they haven’t and it’s been more than a week. It seems ever since he went with Gavin’s company it’s seems like there is always a problem and I personally like Gavin but I can’t give money away if there is no new shows and can’t fix the problem.

### 1/5 — Not accessible

*2024-11-09, version 14.902*

This app is not accessible for blind users. I have email them before and nothing has changed.

### 1/5 — Cannot access

*2024-07-21, version 14.902*

Myself, and my husband have tried many times to set up an account with no luck!  I have never had so much trouble trying to pay for an app.  I have had enough of trying, and will not attempt this app again!! What a true disappointment!

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2024-07-16, version 14.902*

Worse than the last one. Love the shows, hate the app!

### 1/5 — Unable to connect

*2024-06-05, version 14.902*

I got a new phone and can not sign into my account.  I even tried to create new account and it will not go thru.  I watch Anthony daily-love his take on just about everything~could do without the gaming dialogue.  Wednesday’s with Gavin are my favorite! I hope I can figure this out soon so I can resume listening during my long work commute.

Love TACS. Best thing on the internet. If you’re not listening, you’re loss.

### 5/5 — Little effort put into app

*2025-03-01, version 14.902*

I love the shows, but often they are not put on the app, or mislabeled. No big deal but there is no effort to fix the problem.

### 5/5 — Bring back RSS feed

*2024-10-20, version 14.902*

Please bring back RSS

### 5/5 — Focused an funny

Great way to spend your afternoon evening with Mr Cumia whose comedy and farce illustrates many issues facing the USA

### 5/5 — The last real honest man left from O and A

*2024-03-22, version 14.902*

Ant never changed and we love him for it . He says what we think inside . He’s a hero . The whole gang is great .

### 5/5 — Killer

*2024-03-18, version 14.902*

I love the app and the content. Makes my pipi hard knowing that I can hear like minded view points. Bravo fellas!

### 5/5 — Garrett and Steve

*2024-02-24, version 14.902*

Love these guys.

### 5/5 — Compound

*2024-01-16, version 14.902*

Anthony #1

### 5/5 — WATPBBBBBB!!!

*2024-01-11, version 14.902*

WHO ARE THESE PROUD BOOOOYS?!?! WATPB=TGMS+AC. MORE GAVIN AND ANTHONY! Pleeeease! Nick Dipalo, tell me you’re not too good. MORE GAVIN! My favorite band is DANCE GAVIN DANCE! I think it’s just meant to be, Ryan…..

### 5/5 — Anthony is a Legend

*2023-12-12, version 14.902*

Anthony is one of one, a legend in talk radio, the only guy to ever hold his own against Howard, Howard did everything in his power to put the kibosh on Anthony at Sirius, it was a pleasure to meet you Anthony when you came to Baltimore.
