### 1/5 — Distorted sound

*2023-10-04*

About a week or two ago the sound is completely distorted. I’ve deleted and reinstalled several time. Only app with this problem.  Was my fav station ☹️☹️☹️☹️

### 4/5 — When will the app actually be operable?

*2022-10-23*

The app is fun for staying in a good musical moment while going from car (radio works in vehicle).  

The app has been missing for a couple of months AT LEAST and radio sans humans equals no customer service, no give a chit?  

Sad…Radio is only an illusion and RUSH is available on other apps. Local would be nice.  Radio of yesteryear made moods improve despite the globe melting in hello thanks to NO HUMANS !

I hope you can eventually be enjoyed via internet AS WELL AS it was just six months ago ..?  Do y’all plan to ditch online app access?  

K thanks

It was announced as working last I listened in car (2 days ago), so I gave up giving up on the HIPPO.  

But the app EXISTS again but not for use online.  Only car.  

I’m admittedly a radio junkie since there were REAL DJ’s and creativity beyond advertising sales.  

Nobody cares anymore.  Nobody to “contact” despite there is now a supposed “contact” inoperable option.  

Times are tough.  I get it.  Rock n roll should be available through HUMAN INTERACTION and app support that works.  

Radio is an illusion, but it sure can influence people and fix or break people’s day/morale/sanity and should be valuable enough to sell enough ads to pay for IT service

### 1/5 — Love Radio doesn’t work
