Won’t open
Used to be my favorite, but now it won’t even open, just spins. Dec 2025
Absolutely nothing will load
Nothing loads. Over the years, I've had some of the same issues that other users have had, but now it is at its worst. The app keeps crashing as it tries to load content. Based on the overall ratings for the app, I'm surprised it is still available. It's almost as if no one is taking care of the app anymore and Apple has just forgotten to remove it from the App Store.

Downloaded to iPhone 16 on 8/26/2025 and I couldn’t get the app to open. Just a spinning wheel and then my Home Screen.

The best OTR app but needs Updated
Please update this app. This app has the best shows on here but it definitely needs to be updated so it can work properly. I paid for this app when it first came out and have owned it, since 2013.
Please fix this three!
OK, so this may be a long one, but please brace yourselves because I have a lot to say for starters when I first got this app. I really loved it. I really enjoy old Time radio and exploring all the old Time radio there is to offer but as I had it, I noticed that things started to go downhill and things would stop playing and now whenever I go to re-download it again. It won’t even let me open it at all. It just crashes and my phone closes it down immediately. This is very upsetting because I agree with a lot of other people about this this app is so awesome and it would be a shame to have it deleted. I unfortunately can’t give it any stars because right now it doesn’t work at all and I have very strong opinions about people who just abandoned their app I don’t mean to be rude, but it seems like that’s what you’ve done. It seems like you have abandoned this And you’re not even wanting to fix it. I really wish that you would have a change of heart and consider that this app has the biggest selection of old time radio I have seen anywhere else. It has things that are so hard to find everywhere else and it is just too sad to get rid of. You should have a little bit more consideration, and you should try and fix it And make it updated. I know that I have never developed an app before so I’m sorry if this sounds harsh, but I’m just trying to speak my mind. I’m not trying to be disrespectful. I just want to let you know that again. This app is too good to get rid of and something should be done to fix it

Could you please
Make an updated version of this same app? This app is just too awesome to delete! If you only knew how much people like these shows! I’m not trying to be mean, just wanting my app to work! It is very in constant. It doesn’t always work. I gave it 3 stars because I just can’t give it anything lower because of all the awesome shows. I’m grading it on a curve though with 3 stars on the basis that it doesn’t work!

Disappointed
I had this app and for years it was wonderful and worked. Now it won’t even open. Please fix your app and the content is fabulous.
Doesn’t Work Any Longer
The app doesn’t work and going to Dumb.com brings up a page seemingly indicating the site is no longer active.

Loved the old mystery shows Great for road trips.
Stopped working
This has been my favorite app. I listen to the stories every night as I go to sleep. The app no longer opens as of late March 2025 :-(
App not working again
I first started using this app years ago. It was my favorite. Then it stopped working. I think the owner sold it. Then it didn’t work on Android. When I started using my iPhone, I found it at the App Store and downloaded it. It seemed to work fine. But, now after a few months, most of the shows do not play. Worse, the ones that do, keep repeating the beginnings over and over, never progressing. I reinstalled, but just the same. Too bad, coz now it’s the worst instead of the best.

It’s Back!!
I love this app it broke in an iOS update awhile ago and I almost deleted it but someone fixed it! Amazing variety of Old Time Radio helps with PTSD when going to sleep. Love the baseball games from the 30’s - 60’s and the golden era of radio comedies dramas and adventures. So many rare shows I can’t find anywhere else. Many thanks to the developers for repairing the app!

Doesn’t work
It would be a great app if it worked. I’m hoping it gets fixed.

Meh
The selection is great but the app has some serious flaws which make it useless. It’s been years and no changes.
Great list of shows but ….
Sometimes doesn’t download at all
The shows don’t start at the beginning & skip ahead! If only they worked! Frustrating!

Great Selection, Buggy App
This app has the best selection of OTR shows I've found, but the bugs in the app make them difficult, if not impossible, to enjoy. When I first downloaded this app years ago, it seemed to work well, but, for some reason, it seems to have got worse over time. The worst problem is that many of the recordings continuously skip back several seconds while they're playing, making them impossible to listen to. Additionally , the navigation is difficult; the controls at the top of the page don't even show up on my iPhone--just a blank white space. This would be my favorite OTR source if they could fix these bugs.

Bugs
The shows, if I can get them to play at all, jump and skip all over the place. Most times I can’t even get the app to load. I love that there are so many shows to choose from, but I wish the developers would fix these bugs.
Never works
Best app for old time radio no doubt, two stars because it never loads, been like this for months now. Needs to be fixed.
