Great Radio..poor announcer

Whoever it is that adds the side notes to the stories cannot speak without using “and uh” “well uh” and pausing to get his thoughts together. Trying to tell us that Stormin Normans father was on the show took forever to tell. Additionally, there were voicing talking in the background that came through while the announcer was talking.

The radio programs are excellent without anyone having to add their own 2 cents worth.

grateful man who is blind.

I noticed in the latest update that, when my phone auto locks, it stops playing the show that I was streaming. My workaround for now is to set auto lock to never. However, I’ve got to tell you this app totally and completely kicks took us! just an interesting fact you may not know, many persons that are blind or low vision thoroughly enjoy these old time radio shows. No need for anyone to describe anything. :-) :-) :-)

Lots of fun but one flaw

I’ve had this app on my phone for several years. I have really enjoyed listening to hundreds and hundreds of old-time radio shows. I only have one complaint. Somehow, during some update or another, perhaps when iOS was updated, all the shows that I had listen to and were marked as such were returned to the not listened to status. So the record of those hundreds of shows that I have listened to to is now gone. It’s really hard to remember what you’ve done on this app without that feature being reliable.

Great app!

I really enjoy this app (I just got it but so far so good!) the only change I’d make is I wish the programs had a synopsis so I know what I want to listen to. Right now it’s a shot in the dark. I’m in my 30s but I love vintage everything- movies, clothes, radio but I don’t know much about the individual shows so having a short intro written about them would be very helpful.

Love the app when it works

The other day I kept on getting error messages in the middle of playback. If I turned my phone off and restarted it I could play again but after awhile it would stop in a program and display error

Tried delete and restarting the app only problem is I don’t recall the password and when I try to reset a new password I get invalid charecter or can’t change password. So as it sits now I don’t have access to the app. And yes I used their link to try a reset of the password
