### 5/5 — Of all the apps in the world, this one of them.

*2019-11-18*

Do you fancy yourself a Texas / Red Dirt Country enthusiast? Do you like hearing tales of Sasquatch like radio station directors who keep company with cats? Do you vape or ride horses or vape while you ride horses? Well, you’ve come to the right place! The best review I can offer is that I only use the app to listen to the morning show while I’m naked. It’s a great companion while I’m shaving or taking a shower. Also, if you’re interested, you can hear about any show taking place on Buddy Holly Ave. and be brainwashed by the ever present Chevy commercials. The music is good though and the birthday shoutouts and “Where you at Friday” roll call is entertaining. So give it a shot (of Rumple). Clothing optional.

### 5/5 — Great listening app

*2019-11-18*

When you don’t live in Texas but want to listen to good music, you need this app. It will effortlessly play you good music, show you album covers and song/artist titles, heck it will even let you rate songs and chat with everyone listening. There is no comparison to this one. Won’t work without WiFi or cellular data obviously, which can be a frustrating problem sometimes.

### 5/5 — Home

*2019-11-18*

One thing DFW doesn’t do for me is bring me home. There is a station here but, it’s just not the same. Tuning in and hearing familiar voices eases my home sickness. It’s comforting to hear the voices that I love so much. The stories, the personalities. So glad I have this app.

### 5/5 — Best red dirt station

*2019-11-18*

By far the best red dirt station I’ve heard. Best djs and best music. Where else are you going to hear a dj talk about his cat while playing boland and cross. I’m a red dirt rebel.

### 5/5 — A Lubbock Staple

*2019-11-15*

It’s how we all start our mornings.  JR and Kim are fun to listen to and always keep me to date on new music and where the concerts are in town.  6am start every day has to be difficult.  Rain, snow, ice - JR never complains and always shows!
If you see JR at a concert don’t make eye contact.   Walk away quickly or he will try to poison you with mint flavored alcohol.

### 5/5 — Best radio station

*2019-11-14*

I love this app! I love how I can communicate with the hosts, and I love that I can like and dislike music.  Morning ride with JR and Kim is part of my morning routine!  They’re the best!

### 5/5 — Amazing

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Not good

*2020-06-10*

Volume is way to low even when my device volume is turned up to maximum volume! The sound quality of this app is poor quality! Would love to give it a better review but I cannot because of this

**Developer response:** Thanks for letting us know! We’ve increased to volume and hope it works better for you with the updates!

### 1/5 — Need more Texas artists on

*2020-04-05, version 6.4*

Same songs over and over makes you guys boring to listen to.

### 1/5 — Seriously

*2019-10-16, version 6.1*

The guy on the morning show is so immature!  Please grow up!  Who cares about your personal life.  Donthe music and important stuff

### 1/5 — Playback error

*2018-11-03*

This app was of no use since that was the main reason for downloading. Once that is fix I would be happy to give it 5 stars

### 1/5 — Abysmally poor streaming

*2017-05-08, version 3.0.74*

The audio stream from this station is abysmal. Rarely ever plays seamlessly without skipping or pausing. Problem originates from their website as well so it seems to be breaking down at stream source. Multiple complaints from streaming users have not made a difference. A shame because this station has a wonderful "Red Dirt" country music format.

### 2/5 — Fix

*2017-03-01, version 3.0.74*

Please fix won't play on my iPhone 7.

### 3/5 — Minor adjustment.

*2015-05-04, version 3.0.74*

It's not refreshing the current song playing. It's showing the same song every time and says it was played 3 days ago.. But there's songs that I'd really like to know the title and artist. Other than that though, it's a great app!

### 4/5 — Best country station

*2017-09-28*

Love this station but just wish it would update to what songs they are playing. Keep it up. Love the Red Dirt Rebel streaming to Florida

### 4/5 — Good app

*2012-03-06, version 1.2*

Good app happy to have it. Won't show the current artist, been stuck on the same one for months now.

### 5/5 — West Texas Night Bandido

*2025-10-09*

I have to say 107.7 for sure saved me, I drive through Lubbock then Amarillo then back to Midland. Just when I thought all hope was lost I discovered the Rebel. Thank you.

### 5/5 — NJ Follower

*2020-02-01*

Been following RDR for a couple of years with my son Garrett. He’s is Paris Island and just 2 hours ago earned his title as a United States Marine. We like to think your music and veteran values helped. Thank you. First thing we’re doing after graduation is turn on my new RDR app. Oprah!

### 5/5 — Great Country Music App

*2019-11-21*

I discovered this app two years ago when I was looking for Texas country while living in Florida. I’ve loved this radio station ever since and love waking up with their morning show every morning! Definitely recommend it!

### 5/5 — Texas music win

*2019-11-19*

This app is what gets me through the day! I live in Central Illinois and I downloaded this app so that I can listen to great Texas music all day. JR and Kim have a great morning show. It’s funny, informative and they are very interactive with the listeners.

### 5/5 — Do you feel like your morning is missing something?

*2019-11-19*

Well if you’re not listening to the Red Dirt Rebel, JR and Kim in the morning then you’re missing out. The app is great for interacting with them. You will gain a wide variety of knowledge everything from Texas Country, local shows, JRs cat Chicken, and how much rumple a person can consume and still live, this is the place you will find it! Love these guys!
