### 5/5 — 2 to 20 dollars???!!!

*2024-05-09, version 4.6*

ONLY 5 STAR TO SEE IF IT POSTS THIS TIME. ITS DEFINITELY NOT A 5 STAR APP
WONT SHOW MY ACTUAL REVIEW? 

Its cool that this has so many shows, but theres a better app ive been using for years that cost a one time payment of 2 dollars (thats what i paid a few years ago now) and you get everything this app gives you. You dont have to pay monthly, sorry but this is just what they call a money grab. Just search more and you wont feel like you need to shell out money every month for no reason.

### 5/5 — Great

*2023-10-19, version 4.6*

This is so awesome.  Thanks to all those involved who put this app together.  This is a true treasure.

### 2/5 — The app

*2017-08-25, version 4.6*

It keeps locking up on me. Very frustrating!  It's great when it works, but lately, that's not often.

### 5/5 — The Best!!!!

*2017-01-18, version 3.1*

Love the old radio shows. My favorite app!

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2017-01-16, version 3.1*

Fantastic selection and good quality sound.  My son and I like to listen to the Alan Young Show recordings

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2017-01-12, version 4.6*

I own several Vintage Radio apps and this is by far the best yet! No dropping signals , most of the shows are very clear and easy to listen to. I would highly recommend this app to anyone interested in old time radio classic stories.

### 3/5 — Ok

*2016-12-19, version 3.1*

It seems to be the only app of it's type for the I-touch do it's ok

### 2/5 — No app ??

*2016-12-18, version 4.6*

What happened that it no longer appears in the App Store. You all out of business ?

### 3/5 — Great app but

*2016-11-07, version 4.6*

Stopped working when I got my iPhone 7...

### 3/5 — Great app for its purpose, just have to be willing to continuously pay for it

*2016-09-27, version 4.6*

I've had this app for over 2 years! I loved it a lot, used it pretty much everyday. Honestly, it's a great app... I just don't understand why you have to pay $4 (When I got this the price was a dollar or two higher) and then also have to pay a monthly subscription. Without the subscription, you may as well have the free version! I can understand just having a subscription, even a cheaper initial buy (say 99 cents?) but 😅 

Anyway, if you're looking for a good OTR app this one is perfect, you just have to be willing to continuously pay for it
