  • Version 1.2 constantly buffers and crashes

    The latest version has completely killed this app on my iPhone 18 Pro Max. Endless buffering with no playback stating I am offline when I am not and all other audio streamers work, and then just straight up crashes happen with some regularity as well.
  • Offline mode doesn’t work

    Every time I lose cell coverage I can’t listen to anything. Even when I have downloaded and favorited the show. This is a total buzz killer.
  • Needs Apple TV

    Like the app, but to get the benefit of the 24bit you need to hook it up to your home system and at this point there really isn’t a good way to do that. Needs Apple TV app.
  • Could be better

    I noticed some of the Dick’s Picks disappeared (i.g. - Volume 9 - 9/16/90) and that made my rating lower.

    People online will go on and on about how great the app is and especially how amazing the sound quality is. It’s not that great. Many shows sound exactly like they do on Relisten or archive. Slow show uploads and too many around the exact same time. I tried it for a month and it’s not worth it. The shows I listen to on Relisten or Nugs sound as good or better than most I checked out on the new app. I thought we were gonna get “Without A Net” kind of sound. It’s not like that.
  • Content Great App needs work

    The content and quality are great. The app is very buggy. I’ve had it for five days and it has froze up six times. Need to restart phone to get it working. Now I get an error that says ‘Something went wrong’. Restarted phone and it just spins. Support is virtually non existent.
  • Amazing
