There was the time when I felt this was the best radio app considering all that it offered--- and I felt that it was a five-star app. Fast- forward to the present: this is not even a 1-star app but you cannot rate something at 0! Why do I feel that it is currently at 0? Because I cannot get a single old time radio program no many how many times I revisit to see if something has changed. Nope, nothing but a consistent message: "Error accessing audio file". Somebody help!!!
This has turned into one of the worse Apps for listening to OTR. I have done my research and this App will drop it's signal causing any Android to suspend reception, assuming the selection has been terminated. I have sent the App's operator of the entire results of my analysis and they have responded with squat. It's not a problem if they would look at their distribution equipment, but Naaaaaa! Better to look at the 'stations' and then go on line and find a different source for the station. Recommendation? This is now a CRAPPOLA App.
I really enjoy the app, when it works. Over the last serveral months the app will freeze and one of the two choice for the way the stations are organized will loose all of the stations. I have removed and reinstalled the app at least 5 times in the last 2 months. Wish the app worked better.
I'm enjoying the shows I have been listening to. I just wish it would continue stream to the next chapter in a series. Occasionally the app will just stop. Usually somewhere around 15 to 20 minutes into the show. It resets to around a minute or two. I haven't figured out any reason or consistent pattern.
I have loved listening to the old talk radio stories since I was a little girl. The sound quality is the same as it was originally, these have not been remastered or cleaned up. The sound can vary in an episode. Also, all of the Sherlock Holmes episodes do not work. 😠Wish there was more content.
I would've given 5 stars but the Gunsmoke episodes will not play. Error accessing audio files is the message I get. Been that way for 2 weeks now......all other shows play just fine. Update 5/25/20..... All features and functions work perfectly now including Gunsmoke episodes. Not sure why or what happened b4 but its great now :)
My favorite app! Very simple, just a few unobtrusive visual ads, and you get lots of channels to choose from. There's one that's nothing but Fibber McGee and Molly, with zero ads or other interruptions! 5 stars!
You have a major problem. Android tablets have a dropout of internet conection somewhere between 70 and 65% signals. We are finding that about a half hour of connecting, some channel become lost. Other radios do not. May i suggest a check to determine why your signal bleeds off?
For the most part this has really great stories, song's and comedy. Sometimes a channel will be grainy. But overall I enjoy listening to it, especially the vintage detective and private detective one's.
This app is a great app, it has a fan base going back in the day, you can hear stories from almost any decade you choose going back to the 30's 40's on up. Check it out.
Many shows. But, if I wanna find a certain comedy series, for example, cannot. Only a few series have dates by year only and not in chronolgical order. Some other apps show day, month and year. If u want radom shows, this maybe for u.
Love the old time radio shows,this app is the cats meow. Especially love all the Dragnet shows. I remember when I was young listening to shows on the radio,brings back a lot of memories. Thanks to the developer.
I love the old shows and am really enjoying them. A few of them are not as clear as I would like. I know that is probably due to how they were recorded, and not the fault of the app. Love hearing the old commercials also!!
I used to love this app. It would have been a 4 or 5 star review however it no longer works. I have re- installed multiple time and it still says error accessing audio files.
never have I had such an enjoyable experience in listening to the some of the best radio programs ever recorded. This is an absolute gold mine in vintage radio.
Great app, only thing that I could think that would make it better is a sleep function. Sometimes accidentally leave it playing throughout the night.
Love Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar and Richard Diamond, and Philip Marlowe. This and Sirius XM Radio Classics are my favorite radio shows, especially on long drives or working around the house. These Old Time Radio shows are wonderful for taking a walk on your own.
I occasionally lose the feed when changing stations, but otherwise this app is very good. Love all the old programs! Some of the pictures are of the cast of the TV series, not the radio show. Examples: Gunsmoke; Father Knows Best; Dragnet (one exception is Jack Webb. He was in both the radio and TV shows.) It's time to update to the correct pictures!
