The Tolucan Times

We love the app! Thank you Rick Dees!

Old app was better

I love listening to this but the latest update has been glitchy the last few months. I have to delete app and download it again just to listen to it. Otherwise all you get is tap OK to restart error messages on repeat.

Tap ok to restart

Since the last update, I haven’t been able to get the player to work. There’s an error saying “tap ok to restart” but when I tap ok, the error reappears over and over again. I was really enjoying the app before this.

Tap to Restart

App has not worked for four weeks. All I get is a tap to restart message which does not fix it.

The app is down

I just uninstall my RD app.. is not working anymore? :(

Countdown starting over on their own

I was excited when I seen there was a new update. Hoping you fix the bug in the countdown. I listened to the countdown every weekend and they are starting over on their own. It would be nice if you put an option
Where you could listen to the whole countdown without the skips, I don’t need the skips

Skip feature not working

I am giving two stars because overall the app is awesome. The problem I am having is that when I tried to skip to the next track, it just keeps starting from the beginning of the countdown or playlist. It will not go to the next track and the pause button is not showing on the screen. Please fix. otherwise good app.

Great concept…

Great concept, bad execution! Too many bugs on this app. How do you explain that after being on hour 3 part 2 the app suddenly goes back to hour 1 part 1 and you only have a limited number of skips to play with which means you have to hear parts of the program again? More control by the user would be great and a back button better. I love Rick’s program but it’s extremely difficult to listen with all these problems. You should rebuild the app it would do your users good.

Resume from last listened point??

It’s been years so I don’t hold out a ton of hope, but I really wish you could simply resume from the last played point in a channel.
If the number of skips wasn’t limited to 6 this would not be an issue, but I almost never get to the end of a countdown because at some point I stop listening and when I resume it’s back to the beginning.
*please please please* either remove the skip limit for Rick’s replays or figure out a way to remember the last played point!

Disappointing

I love listening to the Rick Dees countdowns from the 80’s. This app would be perfect but for one issue. If I don’t allow it to access the microphone, I get ‘Access Denied’ pop ups and the app will not play. I don’t give any app unfettered access to the microphone on my iPhone. I even tried turning on the access to start it and turn it off after the audio starts. Alas, that does not work. Two stars for the content, otherwise it would be Zero stars because of the microphone issue. Why does an app need microphone access in order to play music? I have deleted this. I’ll just listen to the weekend relays they do on my local radio station.

Buggy

App is too buggy. Keeps crashing. Can’t finish a countdown.

The newest update

With the newest update I have not been able to listen through a full show in order. on countdowns it jumps all over the place.

Doesn’t work at all on Samsung S22 Ultra

The app crashes as soon as it opens. This has been happening for more than a year. I have to use an IPhone just to write this review.

Why require microphone access?

New version still requires mic access to open. Why?

No go for me until microphone access is no longer required. Disappointed.

Love the 80s edition—App is buggy and unreliable

I am having significant trouble getting the app to work reliably. For some reason, it often freezes at the login page, causing me to close it and attempt to re-open it because it gets stuck. When it finally allows me to login and I go to the Rick Dees weekly top 40 80s edition it will frequently play two segments at the same time which is impossible to listen to. I end up having to delete and reinstall the app and go all the way through everything to get it to begin to work again. This is extremely frustrating for obvious reasons, especially considering my great excitement over the fact that this show is available after 40 years. I am so happy to be able to revisit these shows, but the app experience (and the inability to choose individual shows on demand) has been a HUGE letdown. I tried to send this message through the in-app feature but even that didn’t work, due to an “Internal Server Error.”

bad url

Haven’t been able to connect for a few weeks now. Says bad URL.

Lots of bugs..: which is a shame for a great countdown

The app is loaded with so many bugs and issues. Constantly resets the position or I have to restart it. On top of that it recently decided that my password was invalid. Tried to reset my password but it never sent me an email link to do so and there are no other options to contact support or anything. Utter shame cause I love the countdown/show

Privacy issues

While I love being able to listen to replays of the 80s and 90s countdowns, why in the world did you think it was necessary to require people to turn on their microphones in order to use the latest version of the app? Sorry, I don’t find this acceptable.

Problems with channel playlist

While I love the app for the 80s, 90s and 2000’s weekly top 40s, this app isn’t working properly when it comes to building your own channel. I have add over 100 songs to my new channel and I will playback the channel and I only hear a song I added play once every 4 or 5 songs. All the other songs I did not add to my channel. So if this issue isn’t fixed, it’s not worth listening to my channel as most of the songs are not ones I added or even know.

No way to pick your countdown or pick up where you left off

I like listening to the 90s countdowns. There doesn’t seem to be a way to pick which countdown you want to listen to.
1. Does the app always make you listen to the same countdown (in this case 6-12-99) anytime you want to hear a 90s countdown before you move to others?
2. Why can’t it pick up where you left off?
3. If I want to hear 90s countdowns, do I always have to listen to the 1999 countdown first?
4. Can’t I pick which countdown date from the 80s or 90s I want to hear?
