There are a lot of great radio shows on the app, although I wish some of the harder to find Canadian shows were on here as well. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 for one main reason—I’ve noticed quite a few of the episode descriptions are way off the mark of what the episode is about. While not a big deal, when I want to find particular ones that I’m a fan of and want to listen to again, it’s a bit annoying that the descriptions are off. Fortunately, episodes can be downloaded. Other than that, one of the better OTR apps in the market.
Keeps getting better

This app is awesome. It needs all of my old time. Radio needs. I have used this app for years now and overtime. It has gotten better as a visually impaired user it used to be very inaccessible, but now that problem has been fixed. I have no problems with voiceover anymore using this app the only thing that I would suggest like many others have suggested in the past is that there are lots of shows that could be added other than that I think it is great and I think the features you have added overtime are wonderful. Keep up the good work and thank you for listening to our feedback.
Not the most accessible using Voiceover screen reader
dcbahr1
I am blind, and use Voiceover screen reader, and unfortunately, your app does not have properly labeled buttons. The only one that I can tell is labeled is the play/pause button. Other than that, Voiceover just says, "button" and I have to press each one to find out what it does. The one next to the Play button, if I recall, is the one to restart the show, ... that's not the best place for that button. Also, your progress bar is not accurate, I can't scroll to a part in the episode, it is all wrong in the percentage it shows me. ... so while the selection of shows looks promising, the interface could use a lot of work to make it more accessible/user-friendly to all who wish to hear OTR in a modern way.
DO NOT BUY THIS APP
Professor Echo
DO NOT BUY IT. Unfortunately, while the interface for this APP is relatively attractive, once you get past the surface, there are various flaws which render it very user unfriendly. Chief among theses, as has been pointed out by many reviews here, is the fact that you can’t mark anything has having been listened to and/or completed. Without keeping your own personal records, you can easy get lost trying to resume a program or series. Other OTR Apps offer this service, but for whatever reason, this one doesn’t and has steadfastly refused to update with that feature. Why pay for something that you then have to manually supplement yourself? Following that you have misfiled shows, missing episodes not marked, playback skips which exclude whole episodes, lots of misspellings, etc. To sum up: This APP stinks. DO NOT BUY IT.
1. Dark Mode: Enable dark mode from Settings > Theme > Dark.
2. Persistent Sleep Timer: Set it once and forget it; the app remembers your sleep timer preference across all sessions.
3. Easy Season Switching: For multi-season shows, switch seasons directly from the episode view screen.
