BEST OF THE LEFT APP for Positive User Reviews
✓ All the aggregation I need without the risk of overloading my phone with podcastsThere’s plenty of room for disagreement (just don’t tell Jay that; he’s not as good a listener as he thinks), but the host brilliantly collects themed clips from all the sources I would normally go to, and a few I wouldn’t. In so doing, he basically lays out the standard liberal position points with a fair amount of variety so that liberals like myself can see what others are thinking on a variety of subjects, and take it or leave it. Really appreciate having the app in addition to the podcast downloads, since they’re well organized and it allows you easy access to episodes you may have deleted. Search functions solve the problem of referencing past episodes in a haphazard way, and my phone ends up much less cluttered. Do both: get the app and subscribe to the podcast, then go further to help him continue this invaluable project..Version: 1.20.17
✓ Great App! But....I was hoping there might have been a LITE version to try it before I bought it. No offense; it really is a terrific app, but I'd have liked to test it to see if it was worth the two dollars (it was, but you can never be too sure sometimes). Five stars for the app; four for the lack of a LITE..Version: 0
✓ Absolutely Amazing!Please support the voice of reason by donating as little as $1.99! Sure you can listen to the podcast for free, but It needs your support. Consider getting this app just for that reason..Version: 1.9.9
✓ Essential listeningThis is a terrific way to get a lot of information on whatever topic is being covered in any given episode. I always learn something I hadn't thought of and learn better ways to discuss issues without devolving into expletives. 🙃.Version: 2.0.32
✓ Up to date and vividly livid!I love this app. I go to the gym and plug this in while I work out. I listen while I drive from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia. I am in love with this movement and people opening their eyes. Keep up the good work!.Version: 0
✓ Great informationKeeps me up to date on current events an the shenanigans of the crazies....Version: 1.9.7
✓ Real newsA functioning democracy requires the participation of informed citizens. You owe it to yourself and society to listen to and support the best of the left. A true progressive beacon in a storm of disinformation and petty drivel that passes for U.S. "news"..Version: 2.0.32
✓ Accurate TitleIt lives up to its title in content as well as its utterly amazing and intuitive web page. Always has links to the information it provides, and should have far more recognition than it does. We need more rational and welcome conversation like the ones Best of the Left provides every single episode. Thanks J!..Version: 2.0.32
✓ Amazing!I have found best of the left to be by far the best source of political news around! Keep up the great work!.Version: 0
✓ Great Show Concept!Best of The Left is so well produced that I find it to be the most entertaining recap of recent political events. It's a great way to get a handle of the lefts perspective, spoken by some of its strongest spokesmen. I do miss the Daily Show and Colbert Report bits, but I suppose it became too difficult to include. Bravo and "May the Schwartz Be with You" Couldn't have said it better myself!.Version: 1.19.3
✓ Excellent showThe app's great, the show's great, being able to share the separate sections is fantastic!.Version: 1.9.2
✓ My favorite PodcastI love this show! It is great to hear the different perspectives of the current issues. I also love the activism portion! Thanks Jay!.Version: 2.0.32
✓ Perfect podcastThis is perfect! The podcast and great bonus content make this a fantastic app..Version: 0
✓ Great BOTL expansionIf you're a fan of the podcast, this is more than worth the $2. I like the added video content that is a bonus with this app..Version: 0
✓ Great app, even better contentThe app is easy to use and a great way to sort, save and listen to the BOTL. The shows are very well put together - a good collection of clips from a variety of sources on a specific topic. The messages from listeners as well as Jay's occasional comments are interesting to listen to. I'd recommend the app. The only hitch would be that when you're on the main list of shows, it's difficult to decipher what the topic is because the titles are so long and there isn't enough space on the screen. I'd appreciate it if the topic were put in parentheses first with the actual title to follow. Thanks!.Version: 1.19.3
✓ Brilliant and inspringThis app and BOTL live up to their name; this truly is the Best of the Left. Fantastic, not just for the exhaustive content but also for the joy of hearing and seeing just how many REAL Liberal and Progressive voices and media sources are out there. I can't give this app too much praise. You should not only BUY THIS APP NOW but also give the show and Jay as much money as you can afford, especially in light of the amount of effort that must go into producing this podcast every three days and running the website. I thought Democracy Now! was the best lefty app in the store and I've never been so happy to be wrong. Should win a Peabody. I'd say Pulitzer except those media elitists won't touch web material..Version: 1.8
✓ Best progressive voiceTo be informed get this app. BOTL does an amazing job bringing the progressive voice and issues together..Version: 1.19.3
✓ Could be betterLove the content, but I'm sure most who know what Best of the Left does loves the content. However, I downloaded the app hoping there would be a way to share individual links on facebook, twitter, etc, like on the main site. The only functionality like this is the ability to share the whole episode. It's hard enough to get people who aren't into BotL to sit through a ten minute piece, let alone try to get them to listen to a +60 minute episode. PLEASE include this functionality in an update, otherwise will just keep using my old way of listening to the show, via iTunes and the Podcasts app. Keep up the Good work!.Version: 1.19.3
✓ First rateAlways informative and interesting. Always well-researched, carefully and creatively presented with discussion segments balanced by thoughtful opinion solos and music selections. All of this —plus it's hilarious!.Version: 1.19.3
✓ Love the Show but...Wish the app was actually as easy to navigate as the enhanced podcast. ALl it really does is connect youto a streaming mp3 of the show. But then of course you get access to bonus content, and you're sorta helping the show.... so overall a 5! Lol.Version: 0
✓ Best App Apple has to offer..!!!Huge fan of the Best of the Left.. Great information and perfect way to share the Left message..Keep it coming... Thank you Jay.!!!.Version: 1.19.3
✓ A great podcastJay collects the best podcast segments and magically weaves them into a must listen event twice weekly. Enjoy..Version: 1.20.17
✓ Fan of logicReally love the work Jay is doing, been a fan of the Podcast for a while. Glad to see an app so I dont have to sinc to get the latest info. Only beef is that in the movie file format I cant skip through segments I had time to see in original airing, as I can on the podcast, really like that option, pease fix. Otherwise keep doing what you're doing Jay, America needs it!.Version: 0
✓ Worth every cent x 10!I'm a news junkie and this is one ifthe best sources out there and now it's even BETTER with the new app! If you want to stay informed... GET THIS APP!!.Version: 0
✓ Must have, a great app for those who wish to stay informedIt is so nice to have someone comb through all the media out there and find the really top stories and humor..Version: 0
✓ ExcellentNot only does the team deliver excellent news, but the execution of the app is great. It's (painfully) affordable and conveniently intuitive (gotta love buzzwords, but hey...). Great product..Version: 1.19.3
✓ GreatEasy to use, plenty of bonuses.Version: 0
✓ Outstanding!!!!This is easily the best podcast I've subscribed to. I've become a regular listener and encourage everyone to check it out!.Version: 1.9.2
✓ Super Melty Siccness!I absolutely love this podcast & the app is great! Support!!!! Even siccccer than u can possibly imagine!!!!.Version: 0
✓ Needs better access to bonus content!The show is amazing, but since everything BOTL puts out *except* the bonus content is more easily available elsewhere, the main selling point of this app *is* the bonus content. Though the BOTL app is better at presenting the bonus videos and audio clips than when I first purchased it a couple years ago, it still is terrible to catch up with missed bonus content. There is no way to tell what you have or haven't watched, and the app has no consistent way of remembering your last opened page, either. Perhaps an automatic or user-editable playlist for the bonus videos is in order? iOS 5 lets users see the full title of any playlist item they long-press, so you could be just as descriptive as the current app is about the video's content. I'm not as interested in the PDF show notes or the "wallpaper" bonus content, since those are mostly be of use on either a desktop or an iPad, but they're mostly fine as they are. However, a preview of the wallpaper would be really nice, since I can't know what it looks like from the bonus content page alone (it just saves directly to the camera roll)..Version: 1.9.9
✓ My Desert Island podcastThe quality Jay puts into each episode makes this the one I'd choose if I could only listen to one podcast. I frequently recommend BOTL to folks from the right. This kind of thoughtful programming is a huge contribution to what I hope is the ventral recovery of democracy..Version: 2.0.32
✓ Exceptionally Well Done!The Best of the Left is a fantastic weekly compilation of left leaning news outlets. But it's more than that it's a place where u can get a sane perspective on things away from corporate media and away from the crazies..Version: 1.19.3
✓ Pod Cast is great,UPDATED: I should have corrected my review much sooner. App works as advertised. AT&T's coverage does not help the streaming of video and audio. Subscribe to the FREE pod cast. Given AT&T's spotty coverage area. The App is only as good as your Wi Fi stream. I recommend subscribing to the podcast. That way you can multi task. I love the Pod Cast. The app doesn't offer any more features than a web search could. If you stream an archived show and it crashes due to lack of coverage, you have to restart the app and lose your spot/ start the show over from the begining. I blame the spotty ATT coverage..Version: 0
✓ A great app to access current topics.Jay's work on Best of the Left is excellent; current, informative and entertaining. The background play and bonus clip are really nice features..Version: 0
✓ Best show everI like that it compiles the best of weekly shows for you to source all at the same time. Shows are thoughtful, current and relevant and it's a good departure from the crap on TV..Version: 1.19.3
✓ Love this appVery easy way to keep up with all the crazy things happening in the world..Version: 1.19.3
✓ Only Awesome, that's allWhat a well out together show. I spread the word when I can!.Version: 1.18.1
✓ Excellent liberal-leaning digestI've listened to Jay's podcast for the past several years, and he is continuing to do great work. I don't always agree with everyone but that's not the point. I find my consciousness raised, and become informed of aspects of the news I hadn't heard of elsewhere. Some of the clips are funny, some tragic, and some downright annoying! I particularly appreciate Rachel Maddow and often the Young Turks and David Pakman. When he can use clips of the Daily Show and Stephen Colbert, I am delighted. Keep up the good work, Jay..Version: 1.19.3
✓ Life changingListen to this for a few months and it will change your life for the better. Guaranteed..Version: 1.19.3
✓ Excellent program!Absolutely wonderful shows. Start listening now!.Version: 1.19.3
✓ Best of Left is WonderfulJay! Tomlinson's blog "the Best of the Left" is for me, the most importantly informative and enlightening and entertaining show anywhere. It's deep sense of compassion, intelligence, humor and music are unparalleled. It is the most intelligent show on "radio". I couldn't be more serious about this informative and often very funny show. Jay! Tomlinson has a big career ahead which I hope will not corrupt him in any way. Power and success have a way of doing that! And he is headed for success. Trust me on that. Jay Leonhart.Version: 1.19.2
✓ Best app in the store.Truly this is the best app out there. This app will make you cry, have you howling with laughter, and screaming with rage, and at the same time you will be actually learning something about this world that we all live in..Version: 1.19.3
✓ Simply the BestWell edit.Version: 2.5.35
✓ Great app, excellent contentI love listening to the podcast on the way to work, making it carplay compatible would be awesome..Version: 2.0.32
✓ Big fanI love this podcast! thanks for the App..Version: 0
✓ Great App from a Great PodcastThis is one of the best produced podcasts I've listened too. If you're a fan of the left leaning media then definitely get this. It's great being able to listen to the podcasts in the background while streaming, since you can't through iTunes..Version: 0
✓ BOTLOne of my top 3 podcasts. A perfect blend of clips, music and listener input. If I have one political podcast I wouldn't do without, this is it..Version: 1.19.3
