Old Time Radio Streamer Reviews

I’ve been using OldTimeRadioStreamer for about 10 years and find it to be very useful and about 90% reliable. There are times when it doesn’t work properly and I then switch to a different OTR Streaming service. Since I like SIFI I enjoy listening to stations that provide that genre.
With improved performance, I would upgrade my rating to 5 stars.

I love OldTimeRadioStreamer. It brings together several old time radio broadcasts to one place. Some of these I had saved the web pages as icons on my smartphone. It's great entertainment driving down the highway, sitting in the recliner or lying in bed ( there is a timer to shut it off as the volume is slowly lowered!). I love the old radio shows, especially the detectives, mystery's and western's.

This a a wonderful app that instantly takes you back to the 1940’s no matter your age. The radio shows even include the vintage commercials like “blue coal” and WW2 news. Highly recommended. Very relaxing and highly intellectual whether you like it or nor. I love the Sherlock Holmes shows.

This ap is great for anyone young or old who enjoys listening to mystery,drama,comedies,anything from the days when radio was entertainment. OldTimeRadioStreamer does have a minor flaw like other apps, but for the amount of shows offered you’ll overlook the flaw.

OldTimeRadioStreamer doesn’t work anymore. Just started this week. It won’t open any of the streaming URL’s. Plus there are about 15 that have never worked. App needs to be updated. It has been a yr.

Wide variety of programs. Always something to engage your heart and soul. A true work of art that keeps the old radio shows new. My go to app when I need to get away from the real world.

This is my go-to streamer for OTR programs, and I have a few of them downloaded. I like that you can set the timer for auto shut off and there's a lot of variety in programming. Great app! Not all of the channels are of the highest quality but you get what you pay for and this one of the best free OTR apps.

How much do I love these shows? When OTR is down, which happens once in a while (beyond the site master’s control)...I feel even more alone. “Isolating” in NYC is a little less stressful when I can hunker down with Johnny Dollar, Suspense, the Shadow, the Black Museum, the Mysterious Traveler and many other shows from the Golden Age of radio. Thank you!

Never written a review of anything but want to give you my deepest appreciation for what you are doing to make OTR available. This my favorite OTR app because of selection and variety. I love the good vs evil and love of country that pervades almost all the offerings during our current challenges…helps me sleep better too

This is THE go-to app you will want for every day listening, trust me.
When Apple did an upgrade last week, all of a sudden OldTimeRadioStreamer was unable to connect to streaming audio. Within just a few days, Ed Zakeski had an update fixed and back online for his MANY appreciative app users.
Its said that you don’t realize how much you appreciate something until you don’t have it anymore. As a disabled guy that doesn’t get out very often, I love listening to lots of different OTR broadcasts several hours daily. Classic movies are my other treat. After several years of doing this, I can tell you this is THE premiere
app you’ll want. It gives you the most variety by presenting many online streams in a simple format similar to a radio or TV guide. The programs are constantly changing, giving great variety without any hassle. Just tap the stream you want. There you go!

I’m writing over the opening my old 5 star review because it was long and partially out of date

I just want to say thank you to the developer for writing a great app and for this latest update all content and no fluff, clean and easy. I noticed even the scrolling is more fluid. Just thank you! We get so much joy from OldTimeRadioStreamer

There are no ad servers to slow it down, interrupt play, etc. When I want OTR and I want it NOW(!) I always default to OldTimeRadioStreamer. There is ALWAYS a genre or an episode available instantly. You can’t get any easier than this

I've tried a number of other OTR apps and this one is the best. Although I would like the ability to add new stations, I never find myself without something listenable in the selections provided by OldTimeRadioStreamer .

The simple interface makes OldTimeRadioStreamer a joy to use. If you like old time radio, this one is for you.

Most other OTR apps are not well designed or so buggy you finally give up and delete it. This one will pleasantly surprise you. It’s been trouble free from the beginning. You can immediately start listening to your favorite programs with it’s user friendly interface.

I have been listening to this ap for about 3 yrs now.. it is awesome. I especially love that I can set a timer for it to turn off....AWESOME!!!! I listen to it every night to fall asleep! Please keep up the wonderful job! I have listened to several other apps,but they cannot compare in the least bit. I like the OTR on my satellite radio, which I listen to in my car, but this beats it by far....thank you!!

I love this channel and diversity of offerings. I can’t stand the visually numbing, grisly violence of tv today. Radio drama includes me without assaulting me. I listen through OldTimeRadioStreamer probably four or more days weekly

I am updating my review today. I just finished to a show hosted by British show featuring musicals of the 1930s and 1940s. It is a Time Machine that takes me back to a time of great music and clear vocals.

Hits all the needs to find out what's playing. Its the TV guide for OTR and well worth five stars. And now a suggestion to make it even better would be the option for the timer to be able to turn off power to the iPad to save the battery as well as turning off the audio. I would like to see a favorite streaming channel and that is otr1710 Antioch be added to the list. That would make it six stars......

I literally listen to OldTimeRadioStreamer every day, not because it takes me back to the good old days - I’m not that old, and I know those days weren’t that good - but because I’m a playwright. I appreciate the efficiency of language, the metaphors, and the mental imagery radio plays required. Listening these shows help me understand a different way to tell stories, and make me a better writer.

My go-to for most all OTR listening. I appreciate the developer fixing the recent bug given no updates had been made for a couple of years. I don't imagine this is a major priority but I’d appreciate a bit more ongoing maintenance; still a stuck item or two to be fixed but otherwise a good little summary of everything available a ease of accessing many streams from one simple listening platform.

In the course of listening to this channel, it’s been my great fortune to hear uncounted whole episodes, but interviews amongst the crew of tremendous CBS Radio actors, such as William Conrad, Parley Baer, the greatest/ Howard McNear, Dehner, Perrin and above all the sounds effects experts who were
as diligent as any sound men in radio!

Bill Conrad was never as two dimensional as he himself might have self-portrayed, he was a tremendously subtle, varied multifaceted voice of
CBS dramatic radio!

This is a wonderfully delicious way to travel back in time using modern technology... I just love that I can listen to stories, drama, music, mysteries and chilling tales while having my eyes free to doing my handcrafted sewing, stitching, crocheting and needlework... this form of entertainment is perfect for those of us with vivid imagination ;-)
