Ratings and reviews

Was good until the last update. Every time I open the app it starts on the first episode of Superman no matter where I was. And it no longer tracks what I've listened to. The tab that is supposed to show you recent history is not working. The old app had an ear icon in every show listing whether or not you've listened to an episode. That was very useful when you jumped around between shows whereas the recent tab, even if it worked, would be pretty useless.

I've used OTR for several years. It always works great. I can download a radio episode and listen to it while my phone is in airplane mode [no ads]. I tried other radio show apps, and this OTR is the best one. The majority of shows are good audio quality. (The only show not here, is the Green Lama.) A small concern is... my phone says the App is using 17 GB of storage; There's an option in settings that sets how many episodes the App will store at one time; Mine's set to the max, 50!

The choice of shows is great but the sound quality is inconsistent. Some episodes are fine and some are quite bad. Update: What is going on with this app? It was working just fine and suddenly stopped working on two different phones. It either tells me that I don't have an Internet connection (which is not true), or when I try to open the app it opens for a second and then crashes. PLEASE fix.
