After reading all of the negative reviews one would think that they would fix this app. The show gets 5-stars, the app is horrible.
Cool design in theory, but a little hard to use

While I love radio lab, the design of this app is just sort of annoying. You have to run your finger down the front of the screen to move forward in space which moves a dial down the side to access the episodes. I realize that description is unclear, but it's difficult to explain this irritating and unintuitive design. Although it sort of looks interesting? The scrolling through space feature is neat, but it should be separate from accessing content.
Doesn't work

I read the horrible past reviews, however some dated back quite a while. Since they did an update on September 1, 2016.. I assumed they fixed the issues. Nope- The interface (swipe up and down) doesn't work well. It jumps all around and won't stay on the "listen" section. The other problem is the playback. Once you rewind, it will continually jump around to parts in the story, for the remainder of the session. I am pretty disappointed but I should have just stuck with the reviews.
Would give a 5 but...

I have not been able to download an episode in over a year. I've deleted and redownloaded the app several times. This makes this app effectively useless to me and that makes me sad?
Please fix

Love Radio Lab podcasts, but the app doesn't remember where I paused. My daily car commute is 20 minutes long and not enough time to finish listening to a single podcast. Therefore when I leave work to come home, the app starts over. Very frustrating.
Glitchy playback

The app doesn't remember playback position and has a nasty habit of starting playback whenever I initiate a download.
Needs some bug fixing

App kind of skips around and replays every once in a while... the This American Life app works better. I'd also like to see you guys work with shortcut as well for sharing purposes. Thanks!
Doesn't play?

From past experience, the content is of course great, but once pressing play, nothing happens. I've never once been able to play an episode
Great content, don't use this app!

The deficiencies of this app are well documented in these reviews. And they will never be fixed. If you're reading this review, download one of the many other very good podcast playing apps in this store and use that to listen to radio lab content. That's what I'm doing and it's fantastic. Those apps have none of the problems found here. Happy listening!!
