Something’s wrong

I’ve been using this app for many years and it’s been great. But when I started listening again recently it’s been extremely buggy! I noticed the interface is a bit different and it seems like there’s bugs now. It won’t let me play a program if I select the year on the side first, I have to scroll all the way down to find what I want. And even then, it will all of a sudden stop playing and it won’t play again! Whatever the developers did differently, I want the old version back, it worked perfectly.

Response from developer

Thanks for the detail — you're describing real problems, and the playback stall in particular is the top thing we're working on right now. A fix for several issues in this version is already in testing. The year-selector problem is new to us and we're looking at it. If you're willing, email admin@vintageradioshows.com or call (800) 655-8234 with what device you're on — that would genuinely help us pin down the stall. The old reliability is coming back.

Great Quality and Selection

The sound quality of the shows is pretty consistently good and there is a wide selection of shows. The app has good functionality.

Excellent App

I looked it over Free of charge for so long I got hooked on it. I love that there’s no commercial. It’s very easy to use.

Stopped working

I’ve used this app a long time. Today it won’t play any shows. No VPN connection in the way, restarted iPad, deleted app and reinstalled. Nothing. I tried the link for support but got bad gateway. Other apps stream fine. Glad I switched from annual to monthly. I guess I’ll have to cancel.

No Longer Working

The app has been buggy over the past couple of months and there is no way to contact the developer for a resolution (the link in the App Store goes to a dead page) so I hope this review gets someone’s attention. I’ve deleted and resorted multiple times and the app works for a short time then stops working again. Now, the restore isn’t working though I have a subscription until January of 2027.
