Pros and cons of Radiolab app for iPhone and iPad

Radiolab app good for

Absolutely love Radiolab. One of a kind content. The show is awesome. The app is cool but could work a little better. The interface is beautifully designed and very unique. But it can be a bit confusing to use. Sometimes I find myself swiping around, lost in the menus. Maybe you just have to get used to it. At least its not boring. I also love how easily you can access the older content and blog. I listen to shows over and over again. Such a great program, so much to learn! People seem to be complaining a lot about functionality. I have no issues with it crashing or not working. Not at all. Not sure why others do- maybe the updates werent current. I feel like a lot of work went into this app and its a relatively inexpensive product for a top notch program. All told, for the quality of content and the pretty design, the app is worth the price and maybe tolerating a few nuances here and there, IMO. Thank you Jad and Robert... And app devs!
i love the ideas and the creativity they put into this and the podcast is among the best out there, but this is still a little too buggy for me to work. the app keeps playing when calls come in, stops playing randomly and screws up the playback by mixing in earlier pieces (like the welcome credits) randomly. id love for this app to live up to the shows standard. update, please!
Such an intuitive app and fun to use. Has all of my favorite Radiolab content and is presented in a way that engages the user to explore and discover. Marvelous.
When I heard the recent podcast ,I was surprised they have their new app. Ive been a radio lab listener for about two years now . I live in Toronto . I enjoy it amazingly .jad and Rob make a very good team as hosts There humorous , They make you think, There fun To listen to .Im learning about how to go around the app. Its a great turnover in listening .
Great app! I love that you can download, unlike other similar apps. No stability or audio issues so far on my iPhone 4s. What to do for a 5-star review? * long episode descriptions * ability to sort episodes by date or title * more in-episode content (eg links or images related to what Im hearing)
This is an awesome app. They have great programming and its incredibly easy to get sucked into each of their episodes. The app itself sometimes gets stuck at the top of its menu, but after turning off and on again usually works. Awesome app.

Some bad moments

This app is useless. Very unstable and frustrating. Its upsetting that with all the bad reviews no update has been offered. I would prefer a simple app that works without the attempt at a bling app that does not.
What a waste of money. App crashes when I try to play an episode. I would like a refund.
Seems to be missing the Episode 5 of Season 7: Who Are You? Given the difficulties of navigating through this app, and how the episodes (regardless of the filters) do not appear in clear chronological order, its possible that I could be missing it. Concerned other episodes might be missing. If they were, I would very disappointed having spent money (even if a small amount) on an app that promised all content from this fantastic shows archive. *also worth mentioning that it does not appear that the podcast video entitled Moments from Season 6 does not work within the app **if I could rate the show separately from the app, I would give the show a 7 star and the app a negative 2. I gave a rough average of a two star overall.
Great content! Ap crashes frequently. Also, the layout is cute but somewhat cumbersome.
Dont waste your time and money on this horrible app.It is not functional in any way.
Crashes after mere seconds every time I open the app. (Running it on iPhone 4, ios7). Fix the bugs!! Update!! Pleeeeaaaaaase!!
