### 3/5 — Maddeningly glitchy

*2026-01-29, version 17.4*

I have to admit, this has improved over time, but still glitchy; it will freeze or not play when the phone goes to sleep on occasion. It also probably has too much random content. But not as bad as it used to be.

### 3/5 — Carol

*2026-01-29, version 17.4*

Having lots of sign in problems

### 2/5 — Turns on by itself

*2025-11-25, version 7.3*

Was a pretty good app for listening on the go, sometimes callers and guests are hard to hear but was ok. Now it's turning on by itself randomly which has interrupted meetings and killed the battery. Will increase my rating once this is corrected.

### 3/5 — Could be 5 star

*2025-01-29, version 7.3*

Not 5 star because all too often I can’t replay old interviews

### 4/5 — 1:00 PM Show

*2024-08-10, version 7.3*

The show that comes on at 1 PM sends way to much time talking about their golf outings and home life. Also, over-hype Browns.
Boring.

### 3/5 — TLOD Possible Improvements

*2024-07-19, version 7.3*

Overall the app is good. The content is generally good as well.

What would improve the app if, like every other podcast I’ve ever listened to, it would remember where you stopped listening to a segment and just take you to that time reference. Instead I either have to remember it or manually move to the approximate place I thought could be close and tweak from there.

It would also be a cleaner look if I could choose what shows appear on the home screen. I don’t pay attention to basketball or golf at all. I rarely pay attention to baseball.

### 2/5 — RBS

*2024-07-17*

Too much gold hammer not enough Riz.
Get sick of everyone bragging about how cool all the hook ups they get from sponsors are.
I’ve got this- they did this for me etc etc
Most of the audience can’t afford these things and it comes off as bragging- just say you know their product and it is high quality high service.
Less about you guys more about the product.
Especially from Goldhammer.
Riz retires I’m gone

### 2/5 — Often crashing

*2024-07-17, version 7.3*

App is user friendly and entertaining but tends to crash at least once a week where media cannot be accessed.

### 3/5 — Shows aren’t updating

*2024-02-28, version 17.2*

Shows aren’t consistently updating this week and the contact info for help, comes back as an undeliverable email.

### 2/5 — Slow update.

*2023-11-30, version 17.2*

RBS hourly posts are averaging about an hour late. Shouldn’t be more than 5 minutes

### 4/5 — Thank you for the refund

*2023-11-25, version 17.2*

I paid full price on one day then the next day they offer $35 off, I tried to see if I could get the lower price, a few days later they refunded me the $35
Thank you

### 2/5 — Inconsistent

*2021-12-30, version 17.1*

The recordings often shut off when the phone goes to sleep, forcing you to keep the phone open to the recordings screen…really poor design.  Sometimes it fixes itself, but then reverts.  It also icnosistently saves where you left off.  Like the content but hate this terrible app!!!!

### 3/5 — How do I purchase content??? Ok

*2021-02-19, version 17.0*

Can I purchase content

### 1/5 — Setup is bad

*2026-05-21, version 17.5*

When you go into the show you want to watch everything is separated by hour of the show. When you are listening to the show continuously the app plays the shows backwards which makes you go back in after every hour to switch it back to correct time slot you want to listen to. You can’t just let it play the whole show through continuously. Very annoying and frustrating!!

### 1/5 — Randomly opens and starts playing when closed

*2025-10-11, version 7.3*

After using it to listen to a bit of something I close the app. Meanwhile it randomly starts playing like it’s always on in the background or something like spyware.

### 1/5 — Turns off when using other apps

*2025-01-22, version 7.3*

This is the buggiest streaming app I’ve ever used. I have an iPhone 16, iOS 18.  At random if I get a text, it turns off. Sometimes if the screensaver comes on, the app turns off. I have to close and reopen it.  Or I have to reboot the phone. I’d never pay for this app.

### 1/5 — Carplay error

*2024-01-02, version 17.2*

I am unable to play TLOD and have my GPS at the same time.  Terrible

### 1/5 — Needs fixing since last Apple update 17.1.2

*2023-12-06*

Since the last Apple update 17.1.2, the app only works when the TLOD app is on the screen, and the backlight is on. If you leave the app, the audio stops. If the backlight stops, the audio stops. This pretty much makes the app worthless.

### 1/5 — A bunch of money grabbing leeches

*2023-11-23*

I paid full price on one day then the next day they offer $35 off, I tried to see if I could get the lower price 
When I try to contact them by phone email and website there is no response 
Bunch of leeches

### 1/5 — Won’t let me cancel

*2023-02-08, version 17.1*

I have tried every method of contact they provide. No response. I just want to cancel the subscription.

### 1/5 — App Does Not Work on IOS13

*2020-09-16, version 16.1*

Constantly crashes and does not work at all. Whats the point of having an app if you are not going to support it with the IOS releases? Furthermore, the app takes forever to load content even on Wi-Fi. The app needs a total rebuild and anyone could link an mp3 to a shortcut? Go back to app development 101 and dont charge $8.50 a month for a product that does not work!!

### 1/5 — Hot garbage

*2020-09-11, version 16.1*

Can’t listen unless app is open in your phone.  Once screen goes dark, app stops.

### 1/5 — Worst Update Ever

*2020-02-25, version 16.1*

This whole thing is a giant scam.  I guarantee they cut costs by switching app developers.  What a joke the first app was ok this update is garbage.  What a joke.  Give me my money back!

### 5/5 — Sad

*2026-01-28, version 17.4*

Love everything about the land on demand except for chops he is like a more annoying version of Goldhammer

### 5/5 — Uncle Riz

*2026-01-28, version 17.4*

Uncle Riz  needs to be paired up with Ken Carman.  Or at least fill in a spot.

### 5/5 — To whom ever will help

*2024-07-21, version 7.3*

Forgot my password and now it won’t let me watch live or view grosses article. Called several times but leads nowhere. I’m paying for this service and can’t fully enjoy it.

### 5/5 — The Land

*2024-07-17, version 7.3*

RBS is the best sports show Period!!!

### 5/5 — More Hammer and Rizzo

*2024-07-17, version 7.3*

More Hammer and Rizzo

### 5/5 — Hammer Crushed the Stefanski Interview

*2023-01-21, version 17.1*

One of the best CLE sports interviews in years. Well done, 850-TLOD.

### 5/5 — TLOD plus exclusive Grossi

*2019-10-04, version 16.0*

Updated app is 10x better compared to first one launched. Had to start somewhere. It had its problems at times but I enjoyed. Been a member from day 1 and with my traveling for work a lot this app comes in handy. Need my grossi fix. New app, what a difference makes. Much more options. Bought the app for my brother last month plus to surprise him and he loves it as ell from the Dayton area. 
Keep improving and Go Browns

### 5/5 — New Format is Great

*2019-10-03, version 16.0*

The new format for the App is awesome.  Don’t  prejudice the app based off the old reviews as it has been completely reworked as of 10/03/2019.
