Thom Hartmann

Good app to listen Thom. Have some suggestions to make the app better.

Past 2 updates have been very buggy. Play / pause audio stream does not function from iOS control center.

If I take my airpods out, the live podcast still plays rather than pausing.

The new iOS version is better, on one hand, on my iPad because it is now able to be used in landscape but, and this is a BIG problem, there is no back button! I have to close and restart the app for every episode. Please fix this.

The back button, which used to be in the upper left corner of the screen when listening to a particular downloaded podcast episode, is still missing in the current version. As it is now, if you click on a podcast episode, you can download the episode but you can’t get back to the list of podcast episodes to download another. You now have to close the app and reopen it to get to the list of podcast episodes for download. Please restore this feature. It’s a pain to use the app without it.

This app worked fine until about a week ago now, as soon as the phone goes to sleep, the audio stops. I reinstalled the app and that did not help. No other apps do this on my iPhone 8.

Latest release prevents the app from playing in the background. So unless you touch your screen every 20 seconds to keep your screen up and waste your battery, the app will go silent. This pretty much makes it useless.

Audio only plays while app is on screen. If you go to the home screen, another app, or your phone auto-locks, the audio stops playing. This makes it pretty much useless.

Wouldn’t run in background anymore

App is a piece of junk! I used to have to start it twice to listen to Thom, but now it does not work at all!
