## Review summary

Users enjoy the app's extensive library of old-time radio shows and free content, finding it valuable for nostalgic listening. However, many face significant issues with subscription purchasing failing or hanging, lack of important playback controls such as skipping, frequent crashes and loading problems, and poor customer support response. Missing features like playlists and casting limit usability. Despite content praise, these recurring technical and support problems detract considerably from the overall experience.

### Cons

- Subscription purchasing and renewal process often fails or gets stuck in loading indefinitely.

- The app occasionally crashes, shows blank screens, or declares device unsupported, leading to usability issues.
- Poor or unresponsive customer support with no effective resolution for issues faced by users.
- Many desired features like playlists, bookmarking, and casting support are missing or nonfunctional.
