Yup, zero doll-hairs free. I have been playing live trivia for months. I write my answers down and then mail them to the "Radio." I never got a response. Then Shawn Jay told me to download "The New Junkie" app, and now I'm actually SAVING money! ### 5/5 — Best Show on the Radio *2014-11-25, version 3.5* Love the app interaction with the show and live trivia is awesome! ### 5/5 — Shawn is a dick *2014-08-20, version 3.3* app is pretty cool wow indians ### 5/5 — Great *2014-08-14, version 3.3* Mr wasson.

It just doesn’t make any sense at all. Why go through the trouble of creating an app for two months for all just to go away? ### 1/5 — Can’t subscribe *2021-04-03* When I click on the subscribe button it just takes me to a blank white screen of death. ### 1/5 — Garbage app *2016-06-10, version 5.1.3* This app is a broken down piece of trash. Sabrina is a douchebag as well. ### 3/5 — Cool app but needs improvements! *2015-02-03* Big fan of the show for years but I just downloaded the app. It tends to be a little hard to navigate and it's easy to run yourself around in circles clicking the "back" button when viewing photos instead of forward and backwards arrows for the individual pictures. Also, I notice sometimes content will become unavailable or I will click on a story and only the photo will appear without captions. I'll keep the app with hopes of improvement. Sometimes it's usable, other times, not so much. :P ### 4/5 — Chat restricted *2026-05-30* Still can't chat brings me to Browser ..and it's updated🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ ### 4/5 — great idea; needs tweaking *2016-03-04* I live the show and I love the concepts in this app. The problem is that the server of the app crashes often from the high volume of visits. Once this app is at peak capacity I will give five stars. ### 4/5 — This is the way all radio stations should work!!! *2014-08-25* This application is so innovative. It is an incredible way for the listings to stay in contact with the cast of the show. I don't we can we send them live dispatches video and photos we are also able to see immediately what they are looking at. The play it now feature allows me to play along even though I was unable to call get through on the phone to play the game. Shawn, great job!!!! ### 4/5 — good app *2013-12-08, version 3.0* It's ight. Needs more cats. ### 4/5 — Finally *2012-12-20, version 1.0* Nice ! ### 5/5 — Great show, great app *2026-07-08* The free app essentially acts as your gateway to interacting with the show staff and other listeners. 24/7 live chat, integrated games of chance, easy access to news clips referred to during the show... it's everything you need to keep up to date with the news and even get your own input heard by the personalities. ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — FINALLY *2026-06-13* THANK YOU for the ability to pause and resume shows at last played without having to download. Very happy! ### 5/5 — Great Show & Great App *2026-06-09* Here’s my No BS Review This show is one of the last shows on the planet that encompasses great talk radio. No agendas, not much in the way of sports Cuz They just don’t know. Not much in the way of politics because you can get that anywhere.. Just genuine personalities doing a radio show about the most viral news of the day. If you’re not listening, you’re missing out. ### 5/5 — Newly Updated! *2026-06-04* This is now modernized. Give it a shot?”! ### 5/5 — Showna *2022-03-26* It had me showna bowna in Daytona! I’m looking forward to Deltona and Lake Nona now! Wooooooo! “Mmmmmmmmm” ### 5/5 — Mega Fan!! *2019-12-21* Shawn changes the game in how you interact with radio stations and built an extremely diverse audience that all get to participate. From live trivia, commercial free broadcasts of the daily show, and then the unrestricted Secret Shows subscription brings together the cast along with some other Real Radio 104.1 personalities. If you don’t go down this rabbit hole, then you are missing out!! ### 5/5 — 5 Stars, my favorite radio show, period! *2019-11-16, version 6.3* ALL.THE.GOOD.STUFF. ### 5/5 — Love *2019-03-27* Love this app it’s a great way of interacting with the show and seeing the stuff they post on the see it now section ### 5/5 — Changed my life *2019-01-25* This app changed my life. I was in a downward spiral with no friends, family, or significant other. Sleep was hard to come by at night. I stopped eating. There was no direction and hope until I heard Shawn Watson’s voice. I then realized I didn’t have it that bad overall. ### 5/5 — A Great Show and an excellent App! *2016-11-03* Do you like keeping up with curent events but don't like watching the news becasue the mainstream media is a joke? Do you like weird news stories? I have been listening to this talk show for about 4 years now and it is one of the best radio shows I've ever heard. The News Junkie crew presents the news and current events in an unbiased and often brutally honest way that is a rare approach these days. In our society where everything is ruined by political correctness this trio of co-hosts produce a show that is anything but PC. If you are easily offeneded then I wouldn't recommend that you listen. I have to nothing to gain from this I just thouroughly enjoy this show and figured I would spread the word for anyone who wants something different from the typical polictical bullcrap being shoved in our faces for the last year. If you don't live in central FL you can listen on iHeartRadio or download their daily podcast. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
