"This is, without a doubt, the best OTR app available in the store. To say the selection is huge does not adequately describe the sheer number of shows and episodes available." ifitsfreeitsforme

"Ive been a fan of OTR for nearly 40 years and I am astonished by the sheer multitude of shows available. I am also surprised at the great overall sound quality of the programs. I went ahead and signed up for the monthly subscription which is only $1.99/mo. What a bargain!" Dachshund Heaven

"This is a Great App! The developer answered me right away when I had a problem. It takes hard work to invent an app for Apple customers. It is especially good to know that a nice person was behind the development; and was there to help me. Enjoy" zzzzzzzxxx

"This is absolutely the best app ever. Apple needs to get on the ball and promote this. I cant get enough. Dropped my satellite radio because vintage radio shows were all I listened too." tatorchip33

"Seemingly endless quality shows. Many are rare but very worthy. My favorite ATM is the mystery "Box 13" starring Alan Ladd. Listen to shows to go to sleep. So many different ones. Its amazing." Jen303

Pros and cons of Vintage Radio™ app for iPhone and iPad

Vintage Radio™ app good for

Incredible app with dozens of thousands of episodes from old time radio for a ridiculous price and/or subscription. The best of the kind and even better...Great sound for the period of the shows.
Having started out with the free Vintage Radio App. I could not resist upgrading to the full selections offered on the pay application. It is well worth the cost for the hours upon hours of old time radio entertainments. The selection is wonderful. The many selection are easy to search, and also set up in categories simple to browse. I would recommend this to any old time radio fan. It is rare that a selection is slow to download.
If you like radio or wanna know what was radio role in the 20th century, this is the right place.
I love the old shows. Use this app all the time. The quality is great. As I said awesome.
I agree the pricing is not the best. However for 20 bucks a year (19 cents a day) the amount of entertainment My family gets from this apt is fantastic. I go to bed every night to someone reading me a bed time story Our son who is 7 loves space patrol. Nice to have clean family entertainment.
I listen to a local station at 8pm every night for this stuff. Now I can listen when I want !!

Some bad moments

I like old radio shows so I paid money to this site thinking that once I had paid I would have access to the radio shows. Not so at all. I can click on the odd show however most of the shows require a "subscription" so this site wants you to keep on paying. Dont waste your money
Keeps crashing when Im trying to listen to the playlist and always stops and goes.. Hard to listen to the shows when its in and out all the time.
When I first got the app everything was great,now when I start listening to a show it crashis
Im using iPhone 4, OS 7+. The programs are great, when theyre available. The app has a wonderful selection of old shows, but all too often it does not capture and Im left with a timed out error message. Ive reloaded the app several times, but it will only load from my cloud storage, which is likely not a fresh copy of the app
Very unstable Constantly crashes No response to support request Canceling subscription
Love the old radio shows and to be able to listen to them with a touch of your finger is great. HOWEVER the connection is 75% down and constantly get a time out error part way through a show...VERY VERY annoying. I plan on giving the developer one more month to fix this bug if not fix I am canceling my subscription. DO SOME DEVELOPER THIS HAS GONE ON FAR TO LONG NOW. Do you not read your customers reviews...I think you are going to lose quite a bit and potential new customers if they read all the reviews.
