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

The best OTR out there!
Had this app for years since my first iPhone 3! Best one going, paid the 5 bucks years ago to be able to down load shoes with every penny! Keep up the great work!
Also thanks for removing the pay wall!

Great entertainment
This app is nice for people who don’t have a television like myself.
I read a lot but at times I just want to relax and listen to this app.
Not only is it entertaining but an opportunity to use one’s imagination.

Great selection but deletes downloaded episodes
Spent 6 hours researching episodes to build a small playlist for myself to have it all deleted without any indication as to why...
UPDATE: You can spend a dollar to save episodes, but the app doesn’t tell you this upfront. It allows you to continue downloading without any prompt or message. I looked through 1400 episode descriptions to have my work wiped out because the app isn’t upfront about paid services. Thanks. Retrieve my episodes based off viewing/download history and I’ll change my rating/review

Issues with playback
I’ve used this app for old time radio shows for the past 3 years. Now it barley function it shows their on the air but they don’t play.
I usually listen to detective shows but for the last few months it has been a frequent issue getting a show to play. Unfortunately at this time I’m going to have to look for a different app.

Problem with episodes
Why are so many of the episodes distorted? I’m listening to DRAGNET and many of the episodes skip words when you listen. Also they can speed up, dialogue between characters is flopped one over the other and you lose whole chunks of what’s happening. These same episodes when you listen to them on You Tube are perfect, so it isn’t the recordings themselves. Also why are you missing episodes of series, yet I find them on You Tube?

Love the app but....
I absolutely love this app. But can someone explain to me why it’s different on my tablet then on my iPhone? When I put it on my tablet, one of the shows listed is The Price of Fear (an absolute favorite of mine) but that show isn’t listed on the app on my phone. Also, One of the genres on the app on my tablet is thriller but that’s not listed on the app on my phone. Finally, on my tablet I cannot find any folder for all of the downloaded episodes. On my phone there is a folder but it only allows one episode at a time (which can’t be right).

Response from developer
Sound like you are comparing a different app? We never had The Price Of Fear nor a Thriller category.
Still a 5 star app, but can you fix this bug?
Last month or so, if I pause the show I’m listening to, when I want to restart it, it won’t start again until I power off my phone and relaunch the program. Same if I want to use camera - it used to just start right up where I left off, but now, must power off the phone completely before relaunching. Can you fix?

Great App... worth downloading!
I have been listening to Old Time Radio Programs for years before going to bed, searching the internet or you tube to find them. This app has an unbelievable variety of programs and they are all in one easily accessible place. Whether you like mysteries, comedies, dramas or whatever genre you have a desire to hear, you can find them in one well organized application. If you haven't been exposed to the old radio programs, this is the place to start. You will be surprised at how well many of these programs are written. My favorite is Broadway is My Beat, a fine crime drama with just the right amount of comedic relief. It's like listening to someone read you a short story, great for travel in the car or before going to bed. Thank you developers for making such a useful app!

Great app, great audio, one request
I frequently listen to OTR episodes before going to bed... soothing, easy, enjoyable and just a great way to doze off.
One request - having a way to select episodes by theme. I’d love to be able to find “Christmas” episodes in one spot, or searching by guest stars.
Regardless, thank you for all the work!

The best collection
I use this app at work, I stream the radio shows. I love this app, it makes work so much more fun being able to have great radio shows at my finger tips!
Update: I’ve now used this app across multiple phones (android&iOS) and have used this app for nearly 5 years now. It’s always an app I make sure I have downloaded whenever I get a new phone or device.

Truly wonderful app
I am thoroughly enjoying listening to these Old Time radio shows. I couldn’t believe how many are on it and being older myself, I can really appreciate the ease of using it with a simplistic, easy to understand, interface. I am so glad people are really trying to keep these little gems alive for all future generations to enjoy. It’s time to make supper and I am turning on a couple shows to listen to as I cook. Thanks again, and please don’t change a thing, it’s perfection.

Such a great app!!
I fell in love with these as a kid and would spend any money I received on purchasing these shows on cassette tapes. Tarzan and The Shadow have always been my favorites. Now I have added The Great Gildersleeve and Phil Harris and Alice Faye. Thanks to apps such as this, I got to discover so much more. For me, this has been the best app. I drive a lot for work and it’s so awesome to listen to these when driving. Unlike a 5 hr book on CD, I can listen to a new story every 30 minutes. I think these are such a timeless treasure and will hopefully never be lost. If you are the developer of this app, I hope you are proud of your creation. Bringing old time classics to a new generation. And allowing an older generation to relive theirs. I often wanted to record some of these and take them to nursing homes to see if the residents would enjoy listening to them. Thank you so much for these!!! Your app is awesome! Feel free to add Tarzan, just saying. Lol.

Tarzan has been added to the Adventure category. Please restart the app for the new catalog to be downloaded. Thanks for listening and enjoy!
📻 Best but need Descriptions🤔
The BEST!! BUT....
Recent Update-A bit glitchy. Not as smooth. The side slide menu is still a bit of a pain for me. You should be able to swipe and not have to hit the word menu. Dark mode is great but the font should be white so we can see it for the pop up. Still no episode descriptions and a lot of the CBSMT episodes are still missing on this app. I have to use an alternative source to get the missing episodes. But I luv the app even after all these years. I use it daily. Also, I liked seeing the whole radio when listening to an episode...the half is not as cool. Maybe think about a rating system within the app for the eps like Netflix. It would be helpful for some of the stories. 👍👎

Best OTR App Out There
I’ve tried so many other OTR apps and none have the selection and quality this app possesses. I am really impressed with the number of episodes, variety of genres, and quality of most of the episodes. I listen to it frequently and I am extremely grateful for the app and app developers!! 🙏. Thank you!!

A review:
I appreciate your app especially Gunsmoke for it represents a truthful view of the Old West that is empathetic to the ungodly way this country decimated the Indians... It would be great without the cigarette commercials-But the characters: Mat Dillon, Chester, Kitty, and of course Doc are people I have come to love and find that if I don’t listen regularly I miss them- There’s never been a more realistic radio show or TV series before- Creativity seems to be dwindling...
