Radiolab App Reviews

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.

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!

Crashes after mere seconds every time I open the app. (Running it on iPhone 4, ios7). Fix the bugs!! Update!! Pleeeeaaaaaase!!

The app crashes constantly, especially when youre backing up the episode

Great show. Terrible app even before the constant crashing. Descriptions dont show up until you already start playing the episode. Which is not helpful. Downloads havent worked for months. No offline listening possible. This app needs some work. Regret the purchase.

Im going to get my money back. I cant even find episode I was looking for broadcasted in July 2016. Dont waste your money.

After reading all of the negative reviews one would think that they would fix this app. The show gets 5-stars, the app is horrible.

While I love radio lab, the design of this app is just sort of annoying. You have to run your finger down the front of the screen to move forward in space which moves a dial down the side to access the episodes. I realize that description is unclear, but its difficult to explain this irritating and unintuitive design. Although it sort of looks interesting? The scrolling through space feature is neat, but it should be separate from accessing content.

I read the horrible past reviews, however some dated back quite a while. Since they did an update on September 1, 2016.. I assumed they fixed the issues. Nope- The interface (swipe up and down) doesnt work well. It jumps all around and wont stay on the "listen" section. The other problem is the playback. Once you rewind, it will continually jump around to parts in the story, for the remainder of the session. I am pretty disappointed but I should have just stuck with the reviews.

I have not been able to download an episode in over a year. Ive deleted and redownloaded the app several times. This makes this app effectively useless to me and that makes me sad

Love Radio Lab podcasts, but the app doesnt remember where I paused. My daily car commute is 20 minutes long and not enough time to finish listening to a single podcast. Therefore when I leave work to come home, the app starts over. Very frustrating.

The app doesnt remember playback position and has a nasty habit of starting playback whenever I initiate a download.

App kind of skips around and replays every once in a while... the This American Life app works better. Id also like to see you guys work with shortcut as well for sharing purposes. Thanks!

Even if minor bugs, wonderfull app and program

Amazing! Worth every cent!

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!
