## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Very Disappointed

*2020-10-06*

These are recreations, NOT THE ORIGINALS. What arrogance! VERY disappointed.

### 1/5 — Fix this app!

*2017-09-22*

Will not work with IOS 11.

### 1/5 — Same as free podcast

*2010-07-15*

Don't waste your money buying the app, it's the same thing as the free app. The shows are suppose to come out on Saturdays, they never do. I bought the app for the bonus content, their is rarely any.

### 2/5 — Ahh

*2025-05-19*

Ahh, I purchased this ahh, app to listen ahh, to the old ahh, Dragnet shows. Unfortunately, the announcer ahhh, needs to ahh, talk in between shows ahh, and needs to say Ahh, every other word. Please just play the Dragnet shows without giving us your input!

### 3/5 — Great podcast, but app has a major gap in it!

*2012-07-24, version 1.9.9*

The point is access to the archive of shows that have been posted.  Except there's a huge gap in the app where two years of episodes are missing!  Please fix this, Developer!

### 3/5 — Good addition to the podcast

*2011-11-27*

First, in regard to the reviewer who stated the updates never come on Saturdays as they are supposed to. That is just not true, they have always been updated on Saturday without fail for as long as I have been subscribing, which had been more than 3 years. Criticisms are fine, but at least be truthful, his is just not at all the truth.
Now to the App, I love this App but with the most recent update the episode listings are difficult to read. They are transparent against the background and the transparency is too much. I am certain this can be resolved with a simple fix in the next update. 
This for me is enough that I have to go to the iTunes podcast to retrieve the newest episode.
Other than that, Old Time Dragnet is by far the best out there. Adam has put so much time and effort into this, he deserves to be commended. Thanks Adam, keep up the good work!!

UPDATE- 
Apparently the developer/owner of this app does not read these reviews which is too bad. I enjoy the podcast but again the problem with this app has not or will not be addressed. If and when it is it would be a 5 star app, now the way it is 3 stars is being generous.

### 4/5 — Detailed

*2010-01-26*

Seems about the same as Adam's pod cast on I-tunes. I appreciate Adam's attention to detail in descriptions given for one of the best police shows ever created.

### 5/5 — App

*2022-11-06*

This the best App what great service

### 5/5 — A Time Capsule

*2019-01-16*

Although anything can be improved, I am giving 5 Stars for the concept of preserving old time radio with the kind of quality that would make the original creators proud.  Dragnet is a piece of American history with real life and very entertaining police stories from the 1940s - 1950s, and Adam Graham does a wonderful job of presenting them in high quality, with commentary, emails, and limited commercials.  Although the audio quality needs improvement in the first season, it does improve greatly over time.  Most importantly, this podcast from 5+ years ago will still play here from the beginning to the end. As a dedicated podcast app, it does it's job very well, offering the modern features most of us are used to - downloads, adjustable speed, a sleep timer, show notes, sorting, and remembering where you left off and played / unplayed episodes.  For what it is, it's incredible.  I only have a couple complaints.  You can select played / unplayed in settings, but I would like to be able to edit this right from the episode via tap or long press.  Also, the TV / video episodes are not playing as of Jan 2019.  This is ok, but if unavailable, please remove them from the app so they do not pollute the unplayed list with unplayable content.  Also, there is a small tabs glitch. I like to leave my app on Unplayed, but when I restart the app, it defaults to Played. Also, I would like it if bluetooth fwd/back buttons would advance the user selected seconds rather than the entire episode.  Thanks, Wizard, and I hope you keep this app going !!

### 5/5 — I’ve been waiting for this one!

*2018-08-11*

I’m a big fan of Adam’s Great Detectives podcast and have listened to his Dragnet podcast online. I’ve been hoping for some time that we’d get a good app for Dragnet, and here it is. Download it today—you won’t be sorry!

### 5/5 — Great app to complement podcasts

*2011-11-22*

I have been listening to Adam's podcasts for ages and the app is a great way to access the old radio and early tv police and PI shows.

Thank Adam and team.

### 5/5 — Great window into terrific podcast

*2011-10-10*

Have loved Adam's work bringing old time Dragnet episodes to us for years.  Definitely worth getting this ap.  Kudos, Adam.

### 5/5 — A genuine treat

*2010-11-01, version 0*

I love this show! I enjoy the realism and the respect that the show gave the crimes of the day, basically paved the way for every other cop show, tv and radio, since. Plus the host, Adam Graham, what a guy :) he brings a down to earth friendly manner to the show, he obviously has a great knowledge of old time detective shows and Its  a pleasure to be along for the ride  :)
