All ads with the occasional bit mixed in

The update has made it hard to listen to the show. It starts out with an ad, even if the show is currently playing; gets interrupted by ads, again even if the show is playing. If the feed drops connection, you are forced to listen to yet more ads before it comes back, making you miss the show. I counted 7 ads in a row once without any of the show being played. I’ve had to switch to iHeart and Q95 a lot just to not miss anything due to ad interruptions. It also needs to add more classic bits such as Dick and Hadji, not play the same 10-15 tracks over and over.

B&T App…DISAPPOINTMENT

Been members since et least 2010. App met my needs and worked well. New app, since change in March 2026, has many quirks and irritating features. Miss only app.

Dissatisfied

I live and work in S Korea and the old app was fine. I can’t even get the new app to open, even if I use a VPN.

Podcast playback skips

Trying to listen to the free podcast of a prior show and it will “skip” and either replay a conversation that’s just happened or it will jump ahead to the middle of another conversation. It also did this when I paid for VIP and got those podcasts. This “upgrade” sucks and the old app and old VIP were MUCH better.

Tough listen

The old app had commercials ads but they consistently on the live show’s commercial breaks but now ads will interrupt in the middle of conversation on the live show and makes it frustrating to listen.

Update is TERRIBLE

I really prefer listening to the BOB & TOM show on the app, because I love that they play old bits during commercials. And I don’t particularly like the local rock station that BOB & TOM plays on. I don’t want to hear random rock songs mixed in with the show.

So I’ve always really enjoyed the app. But the new app update is frankly just terrible. Commercials just keep popping in over top of the show! I’ll be listening to the show and interested in a story, and then a random ad pops in. And then the ad ends and it goes back to the show, but not where the show left off. Now I’ve missed 45 seconds of the show. It’s extremely infuriating. I hope you all get it fixed soon!

Was excited, but has been a let down so far.

App automatically starts out with ads so you don’t get right to the show. Also seems like it has issues loading when you press play, and stops play during the show multiple times while listening. When you hit play to try to get right back, you get another ad. Very frustrating. Will obviously still listen, but the old app was just fine at this point. Hopefully can get some bug fixes.

Not like it used to be….

With the latest changes made to the app, you can hear a brief glimpse of an old song or bit start and then a LOT of commercials play!! I am a VIP subscriber and would like to hear the comedy content of the show not commercial advertising all the time. Also, hearing the past bits and songs IN THEIR ENTIRETY, would be nice for paying customers. I get so annoyed by how “woke” everything has to be and if the minimum age level needs changed to accommodate those of us that want to hear bits and songs in their entirety. Things have taken a downturn on the app and I think it could stand some improvements. In my opinion, it’s why we pay for the service!! Thanks Darren McMillan

It plays a lot of the same bits over and over.

New app is Trash

It is almost impossible to listen to the show.

Real bad

The new app blows

The Not-So-VIP Experience

I enjoyed the VIP experience on previous app. It was easy to connect to commercial free live show. Now it seems you have to wait until the podcast, or recorded version is available to listen to commercial free version.

Cancelled VIP membership because it’s no longer the experience I paid for and found out you do not get a refund for unused portion. Caveat Emptor

New app blows

No VIP video anymore? Nothing on the app gives you anything that isn’t available elsewhere.

Don’t use

Don’t use this app. Since they update the app is completely useless and they show is now unacceptable to listen to due to nothing but adds and don’t give you options to listen but third party apps and YouTube which blocked everything related to show content. I’d give 0 stars if I could

New app is horrendous, do not download

Updated in march 2026 and was un-usable. Confusing, limited and just horrible. Do not download this app.

There’s way too many ads that interrupt bits and segments. Love the show but the ads are insane.

The Best Of also needs to play more older segments in the morning and the weekends, such as stuff with Bob and the early local years. The main show repeats way too many times. Once is enough, not 4 times in a row.

VIP Perks Don't Work

Full Show VIP Audio tab works maybe half the time. Would be nice if they even acknowledged it...
