### 2/5 — Steady downhill.

*2023-11-26, version 9.12.0*

Was ok a couple years ago. Since the we have constant commercials, so frustrating, I delete it between games.

### 2/5 — Not Quality, needs improvement

*2021-07-29, version 6.20.0*

Used to be decent; apparently the drive for profit by overwhelming this pedestrian app, has finally caused it to reach it’s level of incompetence. SLOW/WON’T LOAD, etc.
I listen to Titans, Vols, and love the hosts. BUT can only listen in the car, because of the overwhelming band width the commercials take up.

### 3/5 — Would like to give 5 stars

*2021-05-24, version 6.18.0*

Will cut off randomly and way to many Commercials I can see having the commercials during radio break but not at start up for 5 mins. Please fix the random cit offs and the adds when starting the ap

### 1/5 — What happened!

*2021-03-10, version 6.18.0*

I used this app almost daily but I have found it useless since you took off the podcasts. Please return them!

### 2/5 — This app is terrible

*2020-12-05, version 6.18.0*

Can never get it to connect.

### 1/5 — Ads ads ads, and it’s always freezing

*2020-10-23, version 6.18.0*

One thing I don’t understand is why the ads work 100% of the time but the app is constantly freezing or just randomly stops playing. I’m so sick of it. Love the show hate the ads before the program starts.

### 4/5 — Needs Some Updates, But Does The Job

*2020-10-12, version 6.18.0*

Stop whining and just listen..

### 1/5 — This app is pathetic

*2019-12-29, version 6.6.1*

The only thing that works on this app is the commercials. I could understand if it was new but the same crap has been happening for years. Get the developers of their butts and fix this

### 1/5 — Good Station, Terrible App

*2019-12-09, version 6.6.1*

This is the absolute worst app I have ever used in my entire life. It’s crashes 5+ times daily, for no apparent reason. The stream cuts out intermittently. And oh yeah, every time it crashes, you have to watch your 30+ second ad again as punishment. Also, the ads don’t end automatically, you have to physically click out of them before the stream starts. Absolute garbage streaming app, devs should be ashamed.

### 3/5 — Constantly Crashes

*2019-10-03, version 6.6.1*

App constantly crashes. You have to open the app again watching the ads. Coincidence? Maybe. But still, annoying.

### 1/5 — Might as well just use safari

*2019-08-03, version 6.6.1*

Hands down the worst app that is on my phone and it isn’t even close.  It crashes constantly and every time it does you get to watch another 30 second ad.

I truly hate this app but I don’t know how to listen to some of the podcasts about my favorite sports teams. So I guess they have me by the throat.

### 1/5 — Constantly cuts off

*2019-07-23, version 6.6.1*

App cuts off constantly during podcasts and live radio. You turn it back on and have rewatch the ad. Then when the screen turns off, it turns off again. All my other apps work without a problem.

### 1/5 — App is complete garbage

*2019-07-17, version 6.6.1*

Garbage

### 1/5 — Only commercials???

*2019-06-25, version 6.6.1*

I just sat through 12 minutes of commercials and the wake up zone never came on.  I finally gave up.  Im a faithful listener from NC and love this station.  Please fix this.  I miss hearing my favorite channel!

### 1/5 — Not Good

*2019-04-24, version 6.6.1*

Constant add hijacks while opening. Sometimes it’s just not worth the effort to wade thru them.

### 1/5 — Never works.

*2019-02-16, version 6.6.1*

Would rate it lower if I could.  Love 104.5 but this app is the worst.

### 1/5 — Bad update

*2018-11-13, version 6.6.1*

Used to use the app almost daily. Latest update changed that. Deleted it.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work 75% of the time

*2018-11-08, version 6.6.1*

Since they switched to the new app, I can’t access the station much of the time. I get a message say I am not connected to a network even though all my other internet features work. Deleted and reloaded twice it still stinks.

### 1/5 — Would rate it 1/2 a star if possible

*2018-10-23, version 6.6.1*

With the “new update” this app has become even worse. The formatting is overcomplicated, and now the ads run automatically if the pause button is hit. While I’m about to hear a breakdown, it’s interrupted by a jack n the box commercial (which I’ve heard countless times now). Once the broadcast is finally back, I’ve missed at least 3/4s of the breakdown. Extremely frustrating, and I wish the would just keep it simple(they already have enough commercial breaks) but since it’s all about the $, the corporate tools won’t fix it.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-12-07, version 9.21.0*

What’s the point of an app if you can’t listen to the Titans games. This app is nothing but a data pull and sell.

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2025-10-12, version 9.18.0*

Doesn’t work. Just tells me I’m not authorized to listen to the stream. Happy to make look at an ad every time I try though…

### 1/5 — App constantly stops playing the broadcast or crashes

*2023-03-23, version 9.6.0*

Title is self explanatory. App shuts down regularly and won’t sustainably play the radio. Kinda makes the app pointless

### 1/5 — Stream fails too often

*2022-12-24, version 9.6.0*

Just want to listen to Titans games and it never works. Says stream failed and I do not have permission. Seems to work intermittently. No, delete and reinstalling does not fix the issue. Shame

### 1/5 — Apps terrible

*2022-12-04, version 9.6.0*

This app barely works. Been trying to listen to the titans game for thirty minutes. It’s always crashing. Hate it

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2022-11-27, version 9.6.0*

Every time I open it it errors out saying I don’t have permission.  The most useless app I have come across

### 1/5 — Pathetic

*2022-10-15, version 9.6.0*

This app is beyond aweful. Wish the app was as good as the talk shows. I guess no budget for IT.

### 1/5 — Too many commercials to gain access

*2022-06-29, version 9.6.0*

Listen guys, I know how this game works. Advertisers pay to have their commercials played, but when they make you listen to 4-5 on average to gain access to mediocre at best content-that’s too much. There too many other options out there to always listen to commercials. Thanks

### 1/5 — Used to be great, now it doesn’t even work

*2022-01-22, version 8.0.0*

I’m not the only one who’s experienced this, it doesn’t matter if you have location services on or off it gives the same error message that due to legal reasons you can’t listen to the game on this app. Enlisting this message though it says to use the app. It’s obnoxious, and because of this I haven’t been able to listen to most of the games this season. I am blind and live outside of Tennessee, this is basically my only way to catch the games. Please fix this

### 1/5 — Constantly stops

*2021-10-13, version 6.20.0*

This app will p*** you off beyond belief. I like to cut this on and listen through my Bluetooth speaker while at work but that is easier said than done. This app constantly stops at random. And then it takes forever to load back up and you have to listen to an hour of ads before the show will come back on. I could deal with the ads but the constant stoping of the app needs to be fixed ASAP

### 5/5 — The Greatest

*2026-05-04, version 9.24.0*

Is the app glitchy? Sometimes. But this is the best way to listen to Bert when you’re not within reach of a radio. That’s why I give it 10 out of 10.

### 5/5 — Favorite radio station

*2015-10-20, version 5.0.9*

Wake up zone, midday 180, and 3HL... Best shows on the radio! App is great to use too.

### 5/5 — Yes Please!

*2015-08-13, version 5.0.5*

How could you not want this app if your a 104.5 listener?

### 5/5 — Great App

*2014-08-28, version 3.4.0*

Great for those like me who live on the edge of the station's transmission range.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2014-03-19, version 3.3.1*

It's perfect,  just like listening in your car but throw some headphones in and listen on the go.  I can listen a lot more now instead of just when I'm driving

### 5/5 — Easy to use, esp for out of towners

*2014-01-11, version 3.3.1*

The app is very well made and very easy, don't have to click through a ton of menus. In addition, some interviews are right there too. Prob on of the easiest apps you can use

### 5/5 — A+

*2013-10-08, version 3.3.0*

Awesome

### 5/5 — Fixed

*2012-03-20, version 2.1.1*

Just like the rest of you, I grew to hate this app because it never worked. EVER. 

BUT...

Today undecided to delete it and re-download. It now works fine. 3HL coming through loud and clear. 

For those of you wishing toniest the titans games, don't blame the app. No pro sports franchises allow streaming of content like you are suggesting. Find a radio or buy the package from the NFL/MLB etc. 

Try to delete the all and redownload. It finally works for me. 

ONLY PROBLEM is that it seems to not want to work in the background. I must keep it open in order to listen. 

Hope this helps.

### 5/5 — Titans

*2010-09-29, version 0*

NFL has rights to all games therefore unless u are in the Tennessee market u cannot get the live feeds. Even on Sirius the Titans aren't on because they want more money shame too love mike Keith

### 5/5 — Sounds great!

*2010-09-21, version 0*

Nice addition for the Nashville sports fan!
