  1. [R2] Talk Radio+ 5/5 · US Great Alternative to TV: I do wish you had a “favorites” button to keep a location for the channels that I listen to the most.
  2. [R8] Talk Radio+ 5/5 · US Very good radio: Very good radio 📻, a lot of programs you may choose to listen, news , animals talk and music. Very enjoyable 👍👍👍👍👍👍
  3. [R11] Talk Radio+ 5/5 · US PBS: Fabulous educational informative insightful
  4. [R61] Audacy 1/5 · US Excessive commercials: Good app but the commercials are excessive and repetitive sometimes in the same break. Makes in unlistenable.
  5. [R14] Talk Radio+ 5/5 · US Great!!!: I adore this app. Everything in one place !!!
  6. [R54] Talk Radio+ 5/5 · US Love it: Allot to like, easy to find what you to listen to
  7. [R57] Talk Radio+ 5/5 · US Great!: Easy access and great lineup.
  8. [R64] Audacy 1/5 · US Barely works: Constant issues on playback. Pausing causes the time to jump chapters. The UI is absolute garbage. Humans use the app, not robots. A Resume Playback button should be more than 3 pixels.
  9. [R56] Talk Radio+ 5/5 · US Never had any problems: Have never had any problems when using the app. Signal is strong with most channels. A few times channels have just not come in but it hasn’t happened often and seems to an issue with the channel not the app.
  10. [R44] Talk Radio+ 5/5 · US Excellent!: Been using for a couple of years. No problems. Mostly listen to Art Bell. Thank you
  11. [R52] Talk Radio+ 5/5 · US Love this Application: There is nothing like this radio app. Always something worth listening to. I have had it for years now and I love it and honestly don’t have a single problem with it now or ever. 5 ⭐️ stars ⭐️
  12. [R67] Audacy 1/5 · US An absolute joke: I’ve written about 10 reviews now over the course of 2 years for this app. If this app would actually work the way it’s supposed to, it would be decent. The only thing is, the people who work there are completely brain dead morons and can’t figure out how to fix bugs in the app. It’s 2026 and these idiots can’t figure out how to have audio play without it skipping forward and bac
  13. [R28] Talk Radio+ 5/5 · US Love this app: Talk Radio+ is a great app and lots of good stations. Download it now for free because like everything else I’m sure they’re going to have to start charging at some point.
  14. [R113] Audacy 1/5 · US Ads Ads Ads: I can’t stand using this app, it’s spams you with ads at every opportunity.
  15. [R65] Audacy 5/5 · US No one can help: I have called three times and left messages but no one ever calls back. When I stop the feed and restart it backs up to beginning of show or 15 to 40 minutes and repeat over and over. It use to be good but if I need to advance or backup it will jump back a lot and repeat what I have heard.
