I've been listening to the radio talk shows for 40 years used to listen to Rush Limbaugh and other bombastic individuals and got dumber as a result. People who listen to Thom Hartmann no more than any other audience in the country including NPR listeners. ### 4/5 — Please, no more AI music! *2026-03-17* The content is masterful. The delivery is great. The callers are smart. But I can hardly stand to listen anymore because the AI songs disrupt the flow of conversation so much. I’m constantly having to tell Siri to advance One minute for another 30 seconds etc. The songs are not special; they have become annoying. I will give back the 5 star rating when the podcast offers the songs stacked up at the end for people who actually enjoy these AI creations ### 1/5 — Glitches *2025-04-09* The app constantly glitching some days. I cannot listen to the podcast until after 3 PM Pacific time some days I can’t listen at all because it just immediately starts fast forwarding and within 30 seconds the entire show is over and it starts again. That is what’s happening today the first hour just keeps blinking. Cannot listen at all the second and third hour after the music Tom talks for 30 seconds and then it restarts back to the music It’s very frustrating not being able to use the app or a membership that I subscribed for. I try to listen every day some days I cannot listen at all like today. ### 5/5 — Truthful, informative! *2025-02-15, version 8.25.7* Truthful, informative! ### 1/5 — new and improved? app *2024-10-01* The app beeps non-stop while trying to listen to the show and when paused beeps louder. ### 2/5 — Buggy *2023-10-13, version 2.2.2* Past 2 updates have been very buggy. Play / pause audio stream does not function from iOS control center. ### 3/5 — New app issue *2023-10-03, version 2.2.2* If I take my airpods out, the live podcast still plays rather than pausing. ### 3/5 — No back button! *2023-10-03* The new iOS version is better, on one hand, on my iPad because it is now able to be used in landscape but, and this is a BIG problem, there is no back button! I have to close and restart the app for every episode. Please fix this. ### 2/5 — Back navigation button still missing *2023-09-05* The back button, which used to be in the upper left corner of the screen when listening to a particular downloaded podcast episode, is still missing in the current version. As it is now, if you click on a podcast episode, you can download the episode but you can’t get back to the list of podcast episodes to download another. You now have to close the app and reopen it to get to the list of podcast episodes for download. Please restore this feature. It’s a pain to use the app without it. ### 1/5 — New version still not ok *2023-09-02* The quick release of the latest version did not help. The audio stops playback when the phone Lock Screen appears. The back button that was previously available after clicking on a particular podcast episode to download is gone, so it’s now a dead end: if you click on an episode and download it, all you can do is listen to that episode. To get to another, you have to close and reopen the app. Please fix these issues. The app was working fine until this week. ## Frequently asked questions about Thom Hartmann ### What is this app about?
