Very frustrated with Audacy! Aug 7, 2022

By Michael Lambert

Very hit or miss. Some days at certain times it will connect with ease, and other times it will sputter and stop. Very frustrating- especially with the new format. It was already bad but seems worse now!

Unbelievably poor app Aug 3, 2022

By Nelson Franks

Roughly 4 out of every 5 times I try to launch the mobile Audacy app it fails to connect. I get the logo of the stylized 'A' and two floating blobs of red and blue that orbit the logo, but that's where the app then stays forever. Occasionally, I'll have some luck if I restart my phone, but it's hit or miss. I wasn't a particular fan of iHeart, but it wasn't the constant struggle that Audacy has been. more

App Sucks --- I mean it really sucks! Jul 11, 2022

I'm a radio guy... former radio guy... and this app is just embarrassing. So bad. So incredibly bad. Sucks. I mean... it just sucks! I don't really know what else to say.

Interruptive and Repetitive Commercials Sep 16, 2021

By Dennis Emmendorfer

Horrible. I hear the same commercials 10-30 times an hour and they constantly cut off news stories, sports, and in the middle of songs. I would never ever recommend Audacy. Obviously they are more interested in generating commercials than the customer experience. I would give this a ZERO if I could. It's not any better using Alexa as well. I've moved on a use a purchased app. Small price to pay for an exceptional performance and can actually listen and hear every station I choose. more

OK when it wants to work ! Aug 2, 2021

By Sixto Seven

It's not complete crap but it's close. I use it at work listening to music then later CNN. The app has major connectivity issues. It always says it can't connect even when it's connected and streaming. If I listen to CNN at night I can't always switch to music the next day. These are all the same issues the app had under previous ownership. I don't have time to restart my phone and try this and that. My phone works great with everything except your stinky app. more

This app WAS so so much better Jan 18, 2021

By Melanie DeYonker

You would think they would have worked out the kinks by now. Don’t bother with rewind during one of the 10,000 ads you’re forced to listen to. The 15 second rewind button NEVER works. It times out constantly. Seriously, it’s the most advertised app on the planet, yet the most nonfunctional. Shameful! more

Audacy: The Crap App-Unlistenable Jun 8, 2022

Audacy takes way too long to load and frequently cuts out, making the listener have to reload the page multiple times. But that pales in comparison to their incessant need to CONSTANTLY run the same podsauce commercials. So their business model seems to be to promote the same annoying bottom tier, ratings losers that nobody listens to for the sake of virtue signalling. more
Best update so far Jul 20, 2022

By Junkman024

Fixed many bug issues continuously repeated in previous versions. The content is worth listening to. I usually found myself listening through podcast app later in the day, due to bugs that now seem to be fixed. I look forward to hearing my shows while at work in delay, pause, and live from now on. Great update. I look forward to bringing back the play speed option. more

What happened? Jan 7, 2022

By Ckelley116

This app used to be great. I’d listen to my local AM news station while getting ready for work in the morning and never had a problem. It would stop playing if I opened another app with sound, like a website with embedded video, but other than that playback was continuous and reliable. But after COVID and moving to working from home, I didn’t need it; I’d watch the news on tv instead. For whatever reason, I tried to use it this morning for the first time in awhile and all of a sudden (to me anyway) it won’t play in the background if I’m using another app or if the phone is locked. What in the world possessed the developers to make this change? Now the app is completely useless. I’m not going to drain my battery keeping my phone awake to listen to news I can just as easily get somewhere else. Change it back. ETA: thanks for your response. While I’m still baffled as to why that functionality became optional, enabling background refresh did work. more
Needs accessibility enhancements or improvements Mar 30, 2021

By Themusicman08

I download this app at the suggestion of a friend of mine. I like it but it needs some serious accessibility improvements. Those of us that use voiceover which is a talking part of the iOS need to know what we are doing and how to get favorites. Also, the pictures that are shown on the screen aren’t labeled properly so voiceover doesn’t know how to tell those of us who are blind or visually impaired what the object on screen is. I hope that the developers of this app will take this feedback and give it some consideration. Maybe even write a response back to this review. I would love to talk to them. Also, our speech says that there are buttons twice. Is this true? Or is this a bug in the application when it comes to using voiceover? I am not able to get in touch with intercom‘s corporate offices to speak to them about this application so I’m hoping that someone will read this review and get back to me as previously stated. more

I love this app I can find great stations on it. What I don't like is it keeps cutting off in the middle of listening or if something interrupts it like say an alarm goes off or I get a call. It doesn't automatically re-connect after ending the interruption. I have to unlock my screen and relaunch the app again. It isn't my data or Wi-Fi connection either because I always see I have a strong signal when it happens. Hope they repair this...I really like using this app. more
Excellent 4 out of 5 Apr 24, 2019

By Zitka019

I would give this app a 5 out of 5 if it did not freeze as much as it does when the device sits in the same place. The other thing that needs to be fixed when looking for radio station articles or announcements the app will back u out or shutdown. I know it sounds big but it is not. It makes having to restart the app every hr or so when played for an extended time period a pain. Also when it freezes and it is the only playing in the background in office it makes it a pain because someone is always yelling fix the app which disturbs the entire office. Fix these two things and I’ll change to 5 out of 5. Thanks for the good one currently. Sorry one last thing does not effect stars. Please let listeners know when not going to have sports games streaming on it. Thanks more
Rewind feature Oct 19, 2019

By DericAnzalone

I’m writing this review since I actually use this app daily now that the put the rewind feature in. Also, I only use the app to listen to wfan. They finally caught up to the times and made their content sort of on demand now with the 24 hour rewind feature. It works great, but the reason I made it 4 stars instead of 5 is the fact that when you pause it for more than a couple minutes, the app will not hold your place correctly. For example if I pause and come back after 10 seconds or so it’s fine, but if I pause the stream and come back 5 or 20 minutes later it will either take me to the begging of the previous segment, or the beginning of the next segment. It won’t just stay where i paused it in the middle of a program. more
This worked great until the last “update”.. Feb 13, 2022

By sdgf bgh66

I downloaded this to replace my previous live radio app that is no longer supported by Apple’s App Store. (Next Radio was better, not sure why its gone). Everything was working fine until the last update. Now this app drains my battery noticeably faster, you can’t switch between apps without the radio stream being cut off, you also can’t let your phone go in to “rest mode” (let the screen/battery saving feature do its job). The app stays open and keeps your screen on the whole time now. I guess I’ll start looking for a radio app to replace this one. They do soooo much advertising for this app, but its apparently not up to task for what most people would consider basic features. Very dissatisfied more
Certain commercials play and it freezes my audio while listening to a station Dec 21, 2020

By JonBarone

The past 2 weeks, certain commercials (JC Penney and others) cause my audio to freeze and I almost always have to go to the beginning of a program and start from the beginning, then try to find where I last listened. I understand that when an “advertisement” is playing, we cannot fast forward but we are being punished by the app/audio freezing after having to listen to the commercial... often the same commercial we’ve had to listen to more times that I’d care to remember, during the same show. Really a big negative for me, more because of the hassle of attempting to reset back to last listen. more
Great app especially as we walk during the pandemic and need content Dec 6, 2020

By Chiguine

I was frustrated with tune in dad was looking for an alternative and I found this great app and service. It’s pretty reliable and not too glitchy and the features are fantastic including being able to access podcasts and stations and pretty much anything you want to have in your ears while you take long walks or long drives. I find it comforting to listen to something during the pandemic. Thank you The only thing I wish I could do that tune in let’s you do is to continue listening while an email or text pops up and you check but I still appreciate the service and give it top marks more
Awesome.. And... Not so awesome Jan 5, 2021

By le.coopsta

Is it amazing that we're able to listen to any radio station from across the whole country, yes. And for that, thank you. I really do love being able to listen any time. Also, thank you for making it available for us to rewind. It's great not missing anything on shows whenever I have to pause during work. All of that said, this app is constantly buggy. The rewind feature is 50% at best. Most of the time it won't even let you rewind, and when it does, it doesn't let you go far enough back. Then randomly I'll be able to rewind further. It's just super inconsistent. Again, so grateful that this is even available. But it seems like it wouldn't be very hard to get it working properly. more

Jul 20, 2022

By Leighton Schmidt

2020 - Same ad over and over, even interrupts mid segment of a show. *2022 Update* - Often times stalls on the opening screen for upwards of 15 seconds before I give up. Also the only audio playing app I use that keeps playing once you have started listening from another app, forcing you to manually pause/stop the Audacy player. It's unfortunate that when I would like to pop in and listen to my local sports radio station, I often times choose not to because it's not worth dealing with this app. more

Love Rewind feature Oct 24, 2019

Update - Latest update of the app returned the pause button even when commercials are on. ******** First, I do like this app. The latest update with the rewind feature is great EXCEPT it is beyond annoying that you lose access to the Stop button when the program you are listening to goes to commercial. That is ridiculous. I have to physically close the entire program to stop it. Fix this and it’s a 5 star app. more

By Skippy19

Fix the app going out and then randomly back in on the connection! Why am I losing sounds for a couple of seconds and then it just comes back when it wants!? I lose very critical moments that I am trying to listen to and then when the sound comes back it’s gone and way too late! It happens way too often all the time, regardless of my connection! C’mon! There’s no excuse for this! A sound audio app the doesn’t give you audio consistently!? That’s CRAP! more

Most used app I have. Also most annoying Apr 11, 2021

By Joe Fillm

On one hand I love this app. As I go about my day I can have my choice of music, podcasts or especially talk radio going in my mono ear bud. On the other hand the way ads are arbitrarily inserted right in the middle of programs, often at key times in the discussion or interviews gets on my last nerve. Also the repetitiveness of the same ads over and over becomes nauseating. I often listen to WBT Talk Radio station where the Progressive Insurance tongue twister ad for the Name Your Price tool is played so frequently I cannot listen to it anymore and pause it. As a result I will NEVER consider Progressive for my insurance needs. more
Why Oct 15, 2019

By Princess Angela Dove

I just updated the app last night and the rewind & fast forward buttons are gone. Why?! And it says in the update that now there’s an option to rewind our favorite songs if we want but I don’t see those options anywhere. It made it easier to switch stations with the rewind & ff button, now I have to go to every station and click on it just to listen. Please put it back the way it was. I was enjoying that. 😩 Other than that this app is the best!! My boyfriend from Greensboro introduced me to it last month! Made my day!! I can listen to all the music from the 80’s again 😍🙌 more
Mixed feelings Jan 10, 2020

I Really Like being able to see the list of songs played, the artists, and the album covers! I also like to rate the songs. However, I REALLY WISH it was more Consistent. Often, several songs are played that are Not on the list, and that frustrates me. I hope to see this improve!! Thanks. (I think I wrote that review about May, 2019. ) It’s now January, 2020. Still inconsistent, but somewhat better overall, except that for the last week or so (??), there has been no album art. It’s as if the only guy who knew what to do went on vacation or quit!!?!! more
Good but repetitive ads annoying Jul 30, 2021

The app works well on both my iPhone and Alexa as I use it to listen to a Chicago sports radio station. However, I am ready to dig out my old AM radio again just to avoid hearing the Expedia commercial with the “All by Yourself” song (playing right now as I write this review). It is played every single commercial break 2 or 3 times. Makes me want to bang my head against the wall!! To make the point, the specific ad has played twice in the time it took me to write this . more
Doesn’t Work With CarPlay Aug 5, 2022

By BS666!

This app used to work with CarPlay but no longer does. On IPad you can’t turn it to landscape mode and have the screen adjust as well. Used to be able to pull stations up by city, as far as I can see, no longer available. Those are the negatives, please fix them soon. The content of the stations is excellent however. Wish the mechanics of display and search were as they were before. Have to rate the app a 4 because of the negatives. more
Glitchy Jan 3, 2020

By Steve Quarcini

Many instances each day where the app stops playing and then cuts into a commercial in the middle of a program where no commercial is playing at that time. Sometimes plays 8-10 commercials in a row and the only way to resolve it is to force close the app and then restart it. For instance, right now it’s 9:13 am, smack in the middle of an interview that I wanted to hear and it has now cut out to commercials twice. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SAME INTERVIEW!! This has happened already multiple times today. Getting very frustrated with the app. more
Needs some polish Jul 16, 2018

By Søren Blíss-Míller

Like that I can listen to my favorite station in HD when out of town, and it was easy enough to navigate the app to find my station. However sound quality seems to come and go more than similar apps, and I do most of my work and streaming from an iPad Pro in landscape mode for typing, and either there is an option I haven’t been able to find, or the app hasn’t even been adapted for landscape. I’ll continue using the app, but it definitely doesn’t have the polish of some competitors. more

It's just super inconsistent. Again, so grateful that this is even available. But it seems like it wouldn't be very hard to get it working properly. more
A Good App. Feb 8, 2022

By Papi C

I enjoy your app. However, I believe it still needs some major improvements. I like how the Explore tab is neatly set up. But what I don’t like is that a lot of the national stations have become really difficult to find. For example, if I go to the national or international categories, only a select few stations show up. And if I I go to any other category, I can’t find the national stations at all. I don’t mind searching for the national stations sometimes, but other times I would just like to go to a category, find a station, and listen. I’d appreciate it if you could create a category just for the exclusive stations. I’d also appreciate it if your app was more accessible for the visually impaired. Thank you. more
It's okay Jun 4, 2021

By Kent927

This app does what it’s supposed to do. It’s a pain to use in the car if you don’t have CarPlay as it doesn’t have Siri integration and doesn’t have a “car mode” that would make buttons bigger and easier to use. Also, I have Alpha Media owned stations 30 miles from me that don’t show up as locals when I click “use my current location.” I believe I encountered the same problem when visiting family in Tulsa, where the locals are owned by companies other than Audacy. Not sure if this is a problem with the current location, or if it's an information problem, but I get the four Alpha Media stations as locals when I visit the website and not on the iPhone/iPad app. more
Repetitive Ads that cut off the news stories before completed Sep 17, 2021

By amsjs

I only listen to one station on this app. I listen to it every morning driving into work. WWJ950. The number of times you hear the same ad over and over and over is extremely frustrating. It will sometimes play the same exact ad back to back three times in a row. Just lately, these repetitive ads have started cutting into the news stories before they are even finished. It’s not even close. It seems to cut them off about halfway through their story. I am about to go back to listening to the station through the radio instead of this app. more
Largest app on my phone!! Jul 22, 2020

By Lovemylittlegirl

The app does what its supposed to do but after years of streaming i noticed that this app takes up more space that my photos and videos. Turns out that the station I subscribed to placed hundreds of 2 to 5 min podcast clips on my phone. No big deal right. Just delete all. Except, there is no way to delete them all. I have to swipe and tap EVERYONE OF THEM. Takes 5 seconds each. This is going to take days to clear up. Warning! Check the podcast area and see how many you have that are just eating up space!!!! Update: Very responsive customer support (added a star). The easy solution is to delete the app and reinstall. Then make sure not to auto download podcasts. more

Very frustrated with Audacy! Aug 7, 2022

By Michael Lambert

Very hit or miss. Some days at certain times it will connect with ease, and other times it will sputter and stop. Very frustrating- especially with the new format. It was already bad but seems worse now!

OK when it wants to work ! Aug 2, 2021

By Sixto Seven

It's not complete crap but it's close. I use it at work listening to music then later CNN. The app has major connectivity issues. It always says it can't connect even when it's connected and streaming. If I listen to CNN at night I can't always switch to music the next day. These are all the same issues the app had under previous ownership. I don't have time to restart my phone and try this and that. My phone works great with everything except your stinky app. more
Jul 22, 2022

By Peter Naughton

New version doesn't work in Waze like the old version did. Navigation seems different / harder to use while driving. Streams stop at random times for no apparent reason. Old version had its problems too (like recommending out of state stations, or telling me certain streams are not available becsuse I'm "out of market," presumably based on false info associated with my phone's dynamic ip address rather than actual location), but this new one is really awful. more
Lots of potential, but frustrating Jul 4, 2021

By Pinstriped

I use this app primarily to listen to WFAN’s sports talk content. I could listen on the radio, but my schedule makes it more convenient to listen via streaming. I have two main frustrations: 1) is difficulty finding content, like Richard Neer’s Saturday and Sunday broadcasts, on the app. If I use the search feature in the app to search “Richard Neer” or “Neer” nothing comes up. So instead, I have to Google, put in “Richard Neer” and search thru several results to find a link that will bring me to his Audacy content, usually via an Apple podcasts link. This method usually works, but not always, and it’s cumbersome. Frustration number 2 is more serious: the app frequently freezes or drops out, especially at commercial breaks, and if I try to rewind during a delayed stream, the app often takes me to the live station stream, and it’s impossible to go back to find my place. For example, I was listening to Neer interviewing someone this morning, and I tried to hit the “rewind 15 seconds”’button, and it took me to the live stream. I have NO PROBLEM listening to ads - I know the app needs to get revenue somehow. So let us listen to the ads! Instead, when I get to the ads, the app freezes or crashes half of the time. Fix these issues and it goes to 5 stars; as is, it’s too frustrating to rate higher than 2 stars. more
Jul 21, 2022

By Andrew Montgomery

It's only getting 2 stars (and that's being generous) because it's the only way I can listen to a favorite radio station. The new update really sucks. They have apparently taken away the ability to cast the radio stream. Totally unacceptable...on top of the constant crashing / lag... Audacy needs serious help.. more
User experience is erratic Sep 29, 2021

By Bill__2

Playback is sometimes fine, but other times extremely frustrating. Program playback will sometimes spontaneously stop playing, at a commercial break or just in the middle of a segment. There doesn’t appear to be a discernible pattern as to when or why this happens. When that happens and you hit play to restart, it either will not start at all, or restarts from the beginning. When it decides to restart from the beginning even though you just want playback to continue from where it spontaneously stopped, the playback timeline incorrectly shows you’re restarting at the point it froze. Very aggravating. Also, sometimes the timeline slider will not allow you to move it at all. When that happens you have to pick a different program, and then go back to the program you’re listening to, or sometimes kill and restart the app. In either case you need to make a mental note of where you were in the timeline slider so you can get back to the right place after restarting the program or the app. The playback feature is a great feature when it works. When it doesn’t, the behavior it exhibits is very aggravating and is a bad user experience. more
Great iPhone radio app, awful CarPlay implementation Dec 18, 2019

By RafaKoy

I spend at least 3 hours driving daily. This app is the only one compatible with CarPlay that offers 1010 wins, so it was a no brained, but unfortunately the CarPlay implementation is more of a gimmick than anything. Favorite radios should be the first item in the list, that, or show them as icons immediately when opening the app, instead with have to browse trough the screen multiple menus to select a radio. We are driving remember? Where is the usability? The worst thing with this app however is the black screen I get 80% of the time when I touch the app icon on the CarPlay screen, the app works but the screen is empty. The only way I have to start listening to the radio I want is holding the phone and searching for the radio I want trough it, not the screen of CarPlay because there is nothing there. This is infuriating, and not an issue with my phone or car as I thought first. I tested it with my wife and kids iPhones (we all have different models) and our two cars, and it’s always the same issue. I tested it with a friend’s car and it’s the same thing. I’m pretty sure this is a great app as a stand-alone working with the phone, but please fix the CarPlay functionality. more
Too many bugs Jul 21, 2021

By Tom in a truck

They’re lucky I didn’t give 1 star. I only use this app to listen to 1 station and it’s so inconsistent, I rarely waste my time. It automatically tries to play my favorite station when I open the app which is fine. But half the time, it fails to load. While casually listening, it’ll randomly freeze and stop playing. But once I hit pause and play, it resumes as if there wasn’t a problem. Other times, it’ll continuously run ads for minutes until I stop it. Other times while listening to a live stream, it’ll rewind itself to the beginning of the stream without warning me. I only realize it if I’ve been listening from the beginning and start to hear things I’ve heard before. These issues could be overlooked if it weren’t such a constant occurrence. I drive for a living spending 8-14 hours a day on the road and I can rarely get through a couple hours without an issue arising. I thought when they change to Audacy, things would get better but it’s the same app with a new logo more
New company , same garbage app Mar 31, 2021

By SuspectDOA

I listen to talk radio on this app. I would say freezes between 10 and 12 times an hour for four seconds each time. Most times I pause to talk to someone or answer a phone call or make a phone call it doesn’t hold my place and resets. Especially on demand. When I listen to on demand it tries to skip commercials but ends up either starting the show over or replaying the segment I had just listened to. Which is a lot of fun when you’re trying to drive let me tell you. I also get caught in advertisement loops where I’ve heard up to 10 advertisements in a row before closing the app and restarting it just to get back to the live programming. Sometimes I’ll be listening to a show and receive a phone call and the app doesn’t restart where I left off but when I play the program back it’ll restart at the beginning of the segment or the entire show. Then I have to try to fast forward and find the spot where it left off. Which once again is a lot of fun when you’re trying to drive. And that’s if the rewind and fast-forward functions actually work because a lot of times the app says it’s not connecting and everything but the play/pause button is grayed out. When the app works it’s great and I love it unfortunately I would say that’s less than half the time I use it. 3 out of 10 in baseball is batting 300 and makes you an all-star. In the app world it makes you a failure. Please fix! more
The good the bad the ugly Oct 15, 2021

By Knownbyfew

The good is I get to catch the ONLY station I listen to on here because it’s not available anywhere else. The bad is whether I’m home on wifi or on the road (truck driver) this app since the station switched to it has ALWAYS and CONTINUALLY lets me down because it stops like it crashes interrupting what I’m listening to. I can’t go back using the 15 sec button because that doesn’t work properly and it takes forever then that stops. Continual buffering is a huge problem also. The ugly is you guys haven’t fixed this bug yet I’ve been listening over a year and it’s never been addressed. I know the station I listen to can’t be the only problem on here. There’s got to be other people and things they listen to going through the same thing. PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE! (maybe my bad and ugly review parts should be switched) also I’m on spectrum wifi with the highest package no issues and my cell is on 5g with Verizon and a iPhone 12 Pro max so it’s not me. more

Unbelievably poor app Aug 3, 2022

By Nelson Franks

Roughly 4 out of every 5 times I try to launch the mobile Audacy app it fails to connect. I get the logo of the stylized 'A' and two floating blobs of red and blue that orbit the logo, but that's where the app then stays forever. Occasionally, I'll have some luck if I restart my phone, but it's hit or miss. I wasn't a particular fan of iHeart, but it wasn't the constant struggle that Audacy has been. more

Interruptive and Repetitive Commercials Sep 16, 2021

By Dennis Emmendorfer

Horrible. I hear the same commercials 10-30 times an hour and they constantly cut off news stories, sports, and in the middle of songs. I would never ever recommend Audacy. Obviously they are more interested in generating commercials than the customer experience. I would give this a ZERO if I could. It's not any better using Alexa as well. I've moved on a use a purchased app. Small price to pay for an exceptional performance and can actually listen and hear every station I choose. more

This app WAS so so much better Jan 18, 2021

By Melanie DeYonker

You would think they would have worked out the kinks by now. Don’t bother with rewind during one of the 10,000 ads you’re forced to listen to. The 15 second rewind button NEVER works. It times out constantly. Seriously, it’s the most advertised app on the planet, yet the most nonfunctional. Shameful! more

Audacy: The Crap App-Unlistenable Jun 8, 2022

Audacy takes way too long to load and frequently cuts out, making the listener have to reload the page multiple times. But that pales in comparison to their incessant need to CONSTANTLY run the same podsauce commercials. So their business model seems to be to promote the same annoying bottom tier, ratings losers that nobody listens to for the sake of virtue signalling. more
Jul 20, 2022

By Leighton Schmidt

2020 - Same ad over and over, even interrupts mid segment of a show. *2022 Update* - Often times stalls on the opening screen for upwards of 15 seconds before I give up. Also the only audio playing app I use that keeps playing once you have started listening from another app, forcing you to manually pause/stop the Audacy player. It's unfortunate that when I would like to pop in and listen to my local sports radio station, I often times choose not to because it's not worth dealing with this app. more
Good but frustrating and disappointing. Apr 20, 2022

By Acam1223

Please read other reviewers frustrating reviews as of recent (Jan-Apr 2022). I am experiencing the same things as them. Below are a few positive experiences though I utilize this app because my local sports radio station WFAN 660AM is on it. So even when I’m not in the car, I can listen to my favorite sports talk radio station. The rewind feature is useful if I miss a segment or interview, and having each show upload “segments”as podcast sound bites is useful too so I can catch up later if I want too. What is frustrating is that sometimes this app does not play when the phone screen is locked. This forces me to restart my phone and log out of my account and then back in. Last year I was super excited when I learned that I would be able to listen to the AM radio broadcast of the Yankee game. This is the most frustrating thing….I live within broadcast metro area and sometimes I can listen to the game and sometimes it says I’m “out of the broadcast region” even when I’m listening in a location where it’s worked before. This is a big turn off for me and has me looked for the Yankee radio stream elsewhere. I have the location-service feature turned on, and I’ve even pre-selected the region to see if that would work in the app settings and it doesn’t work. This is extremely frustrating because radio broadcasts should be available no matter the situation. more
Jul 21, 2022

By Mike Bravo

The UI in the new version of this app is great. But the app now crashes constantly while running in the background. I can't listen to my favorite station for more that a minute or two while I use other apps on my phone. Sometime it crashes as soon as I open another app. more
