Went thru so many and just didn’t get into any really until I found Maggie’s. Literally I am OBSESSED. So fitting 🤣🤷🏼‍♀️ ### 5/5 — Love it *2023-06-20, version 20230510* Best podcast. Gets me though my long hot days. @deligirl30 ### 5/5 — Constructive Criticism *2023-03-10, version 20230107* Please Please Please… limit the number of times you use the word “like” Melissa… ### 5/5 — Sword & Scale Nightmares! *2023-03-03, version 20230107* Love! Sword and Scale is my Favorite now there’s a Nightmares too..YAY.. ### 5/5 — Small Town Murder *2023-03-02, version 20230107* Love this podcast! ### 5/5 — Crime Stories with Nancy Grace *2023-01-01, version 20211001* Love every episode! Great job Nancy! ### 5/5 — Gianna *2022-10-14* Although I love your show, which is why i still gave a 5-star rating, this episode lacked content. There was nothing about this story that justified not only one, but two episodes. I wish the shows were more like they used to be in earlier seasons. I left an abusive relationship years ago and can relate to a lot of your episodes, but I just cannot understand why this one was even created. I don’t mean to be harsh. Keep up the great work, because most episodes are fantastic! ### 5/5 — Makes road trips fly by! *2022-10-07, version 20211001* I’ve never been one to listen to podcasts, but I’m so glad I’ve stumbled across this. The 4-1/2 hour trip to visit my daughter in college or family now flies by. Hopefully these amazing ladies will raise more awareness on cold cases and help get them solved. @shannonmanen ### 3/5 — Problematic with iOS 16 *2022-09-22, version 20211001* Used to be my favourite app, but since recently there has been problems with application which had to do something with iOS 16 and now I can’t get into the app at all ### 5/5 — Truly Entertaining True Crime *2022-08-06* Daisy Eger makes the show stand out from other True Crime podcasts. Her radio voice is pleasant and her dry, sarcastic sense of humor is lol funny. The stories told on your P.D. are interesting and fresh. I haven’t already heard some form of one your pieces on another P.D.. I’m am hooked! Carole Ganss ### 5/5 — Love! *2022-08-02* I absolutely love this podcast. The stories are amazing and you guys telling it makes it so much better ### 5/5 — True Crime Garage *2022-07-12* Awesome Podcast! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — sword and scale *2025-09-08, version 20240123* The guy who does this podcast does more whining than any story telling. He sounds more and more unhinged after each podcast. Someone should have a look into his well being before it's too late. ### 1/5 — Won’t go past welcome screen *2025-01-08* Open app and it stays stuck on welcome screen. Support link offers no help at all. Waste of time , uninstalling. ### 1/5 — Mine doesn’t lode *2024-10-08, version 20240123* I have tried multiple times and it won’t go any further than the pictures and the continue sign ### 1/5 — I can’t even get into the app *2024-06-02* When I downloaded this I couldn’t even press continue and was Initial screen. I was really interested in this app but I underestimated it. For some is a waste of time but if your a lucky one then your lucky just needs that bug to be fixed or something ### 1/5 — 😭😡 *2024-05-17, version 20240123* This is the worst app ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work. *2024-03-14* I can’t even get onto the app. I’m stuck on the first initial screen and it won’t let me press continue. ### 1/5 — True Crime Garage *2024-01-25, version 20231127* Titles sound intriguing BUT what a couple of Clowns! Tell the story already! We don’t want to hear u say hello to followers (annoying). Or pop a beer can…ugh…..,so many good quality podcasts. Bye! ### 1/5 — Hard to navigate *2023-10-08, version 20231010* Is less than user friendly. So hard to get to the next episode… ### 1/5 — Crime junkie too politically motivated *2021-12-10, version 20210925* Was loving all the true from stories on crime junkie till their latest. They pushed the racial card too hard which doesn’t help anyone. I just want the story not your political push. ### 1/5 — bad experience *2021-08-25, version 20210602* if you’re going to force people to use the app instead of listen on other resources, please improve the app. It’s buggy, the ads are annoyingly placed, and I can’t listen unless the app is pulled up. Way worse experience than before :( ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Scam Junkie 🏆🏆🏆 *2025-03-02, version 20240123* I listen to my two fav true crime poddys Scam Junkie and Crime Junkie on this cool app. Great sound quality and easy to navigate.
