Old Time Radio Streamer

I had a previous 5 * review but changed it to 1* when the app went off the reservation after the iOS 12 update, when it refused to connect to servers. I can’t edit my old review to get it back up to 5* - so I’m trying to make up for that by sending the “all clear.” The gist of my other review is that the app has a few flaws, and my wish list would be to add things like buffering, but the value added is 100x the detractions. Aside from the attributes in my title, there are no ad servers to slow it down, interrupt play, etc. When I want OTR and I want it NOW(!) I always default to this app. There is ALWAYS a genre or an episode available instantly. Unlike a popular live radio app I use, I am literally listening in less than half the time and it’s easy to interact with in the car because basically the only thing there is to click on are the numerous presets. Apologies to the developer for my downgrading the app in my old post, and many thanks for fixing this!

Just close your eyes, let the sounds come in, you are now capturing the moments that entertained families every night for many years ...... until the boob tube came along..... But the radio shows of those "days" still retain their character and charm, absent, that is, the PC sensibility (all too often, insensibility) of today's world (I'm still struggle with my own thoughts about the appalling lack of sensitivity, much less understanding, that still pervades this world.). Turn on your cultural relativity filters, relax, and enjoy! This app is one of the very best in carrying you back to an extraordinary era of entertainment. You will also experience a different slant on advertising when you catch an episode that still has its commercials intact. Wire Paladin, Hotel San Francisco!

Really enjoy being able to just shut my eyes and listen to a radio play from yesteryear. Takes some imagination. Only one time did I sign on and the menu of station offerings not match what was being broadcast. Every other time, it was perfect. The menu is a great asset in finding exactly what you want to listen to (Boston Blackie, Sherlock Holmes, or big band music, etc--and I'm talking about a lot of stations). If I could only have one app, this would be it.

This is THE go-to app you will want for every day listening, trust me. When Apple did an upgrade last week, all of a sudden the app was unable to connect to streaming audio. Within just a few days, Ed Zakeski had an update fixed and back online for his MANY appreciative app users. Its said that you don’t realize how much you appreciate something until you don’t have it anymore. As a disabled guy that doesn’t get out very often, I love listening to lots of different OTR broadcasts several hours daily. Classic movies are my other treat. After several years of doing this, I can tell you this is THE premiere app you’ll want. It gives you the most variety by presenting many online streams in a simple format similar to a radio or TV guide. The programs are constantly changing, giving great variety without any hassle. Just tap the stream you want. There you go!

Don’t know what’s going on here lately and whether it does or doesn’t have to do with the 12+ iOS upgrade. The programs stop streaming for no known apparent reason; some selected favorites don’t show up in the right section; sometimes the App just doesn’t load for minutes on end. Also there’s begun annoying repetition of programs (esp within my fav sites). I’m not giving up. I do like this App and hope/look forward to seeing it back up and working at the same great level it was a year ago when I first found and began enjoying it! Will certainly up the stars then!
