  • Helps me sleep!

    I have been listening to forensic files as I sleep for 25 years. I am so happy that they put this on an app! I am not a fan of the show starting and ending with 2 minutes of ads. The transition between episodes feels like a midnight infommercial selling cds. Its incredibly annoying. Too many ads overall.

  • Big Fan

    Love the show & I don’t mind the commercials since it’s free. However, I quit listening because of the Spanish speaking Ads. It’s an English speaking show & the ads should be as well
