This American Life App Reviews

Unlike some other reviewers, I havent found any major bugs. World class reporting. Im glad to support it.

This American Life has defined the American experience like nothing else could or can for the better part of two decades. It is top notch in the best of ways. Before, iPads, iPhones, or Podcasts I listened to TAL on two CDs a friend gave to me in 98 or 99 and havent stopped listening since. TAM even inspired me to donate my SUV to the Public Radio station at pledge time. Come to find out Public Radio International and National Public Radio were/are unaffiliated...such is life. So, here it is.

Please fix the bugs everyone has been describing!

The best part of This American Life is the atmosphere it sets you in when listening. You feel you are right along side them.

Cant get enough!

Very interesting and informative.

TAL is an indispensable, integral part of my life. Luckily the app makes my dedication easy.

But I have to say I like the other version better. This seems is cumbersome to navigate.

Its ok now stop bothering me to rate it

Find any TAL episode easily.

At first I loved this app and was willing to overlook the fact it is rudimentary. But no more. The app will not respond to any buttons. All I can do now is listen to the live stream. It is really disappointing.

We purchased this app many years ago and has been a lot of fun. Great way to stay awake while driving long distances. Some themes are more to my likes but that is to be expected. Keep it going Ira Glass! Great job!

I love the radio show, and being able to download from the entire archive is a big draw for me. The app works perfectly for me.

I am listening to the show chronologically backwards and love it. I just download five episodes at a time and then repeat. No angst over rare issues which typically self resolve.

Absolutely love the show, but the app has had its ups and downs. It seems to be working great the past month. Hopefully it will continue to do so.

The previous app worked. This one does not. Horribly frustrating. Please fix. Still. I wrote this originally 5 months ago. Still doesnt work. Its diluting your brand.

Really enjoy it

I love this podcast. Its funny, thoughtful, sad, dark, uplifting etc. its just the best. The app is awesome cuz you can listen to literally episode and filter by topic or year. I recommend this to all my friends. Its also just the best radio program of all time. Sorry PHC, You play a good game but Iras the cats pajamas.

TAL is an amazing program. But this app is totally and utterly useless. It will not play offline, doesnt seem to be able to download shows properly, and crashes constantly. Like constantly. (*yes running up to date iOS) Given how long previous reviewers have been complaining about it, I cant believe this hasnt been fixed? The app shouldnt even be available for sale in this condition. Seriously. It just doesnt work.

Really great journalism that takes its time to examine issues that occur over time. I always come away with a larger Universe. I know more about the people and the planet we inhabit.
