2023-10-21	Ri*****	I can only imagine why this app has been placed in the store to replace the old app. I was having a lot of problems with the old one. But this new one in my experience has zero features that are working. I hope it will be improved. I'll be patient. I've been a subscriber for 12.5 years. I value the THP show,. I am hopeful and await a fix to the app soon.

2023-10-11	La*****	I have been a subscriber for years. I typically download the 3 hours in the evening and listen in the early morning. Since the app updates, I am no longer able to access the downloads. I touch the download and nothing happens. I have sent feedback but have received no response. I don't use social media and the only contacts from the app are not answered so my paid subscription is useless.

2023-09-21	To*****	New app is terrible. Podcasts do not play, app freezes becoming unresponsive, login is problematic, download function does not work, and the interface is not intuitive. The old app worked better. Support is non-existent unless one calls in during show time to try and get help. I am a long time paid subscriber that may cancel due the problems with the new app and lack of any response from "support," which like I said, doesn't exist. Very disappointing. I ended up uninstalling this app.

2023-08-21	Mi*****	App doesn't work, has never worked really. Not Thoms fault exactly, but just poorly designed for Android. Cant stream the live show consistently

2023-07-14	De*****	I keep having trouble downloading PODCASTs of Thom's show. Now my android phone requires a secure download. NPR works, but Thom and BBC are now blocked. I get "cleartext traffic not permitted" errors when trying to download. I Googled it to find out the feeds lack security.

2022-09-02	MJ*****	I registered on Facebook through Google but when I downloaded the app I can't seem to even register on the android version. I would like to give it more stars but I can't use it if I can't create an account. I can't scroll down on the page at all on my phone.

2022-02-11	Et*****	If you want to know the truth about what is going on íñ American and with our politicans , check this out. He doesn't lie to you and that is refreshing for a change because most talk shows are just lie after lie wrapped in the truth. Thom doesn't play that game.
