Leave a Review 98.5 The Sports Hub
Really not good
So they push the app on the air and it really isn’t good at all. You used to be able to have each show on your home page but you can’t do that anymore. So you should be able to search a show you want to watch right? No…. It gives you random shows from 6 months ago. Let’s figure this out, yeah? You have enough money to find a good app developer. Kind of embarrassing….Show lessSuuuuckz
This App is horrific
This app is built to milk every possible penny out of advertisements without a care for the experience of someone trying to use it. It plays a live feed of the radio that already includes all the over-air commercials and sponsored segments, but they also feel the need to play a video ad EVERY TIME YOU PAUSE AND THEN PLAY. Need to pause it for a second -> Listen to an ad before you can resume Ignore an incoming call -> Listen to an ad before you can resume Take an airpod out of your ear for a second -> Listen to an ad before you can resume Accidentally play another piece of audio/video -> Listen to an ad before you can resumeShow lessdpowers1227
Doesn’t work
The live stream function used to work, but now it doesn’t.
When I click on the play button for the live stream, I get a video ad, and then silence. I click on the play button again, it turns unselectable for a few seconds, and then becomes selectable again. The stream never plays, no matter how many times I click on the play button. Sitting here in silence with my headphones on for a stream that never plays. Thanks for nothing.Show lessPaddy Review Man Guy
Aggressively bad usability
This app has aggressively bad usability- so bad that I have trouble not believing it is intentional. There is a complete lack of any organization by show, host, or really any other meta data. Finding shows that literally happened today is effectively impossible without shlepping out to the rudimentary search feature. A list of recent podcast are mislabeled and mislinked.
These are not edge cases. It’s all just bad design. When it remains this bad for so long, it’s a firm sign that the station or there owners have no interest in fixing it. They don’t want you listening to archived podcasts. They want you listening live to push their high value add streams. My theory at least.Show lessJjason3334
Disappoint
Please revert to the old version that allowed you to find and stream previous shows. This new update essentially brings you to the website and doesn’t play the show through the in-app player which defeats the purpose of the app. To compound this, there’s more clunkiness and lack of functionality than ever with this update and it does a huge disservice to the great shows that it hosts. I’ll be uninstalling and just using the website until everything is fixed.Show lesswearethewind
Ads hobble some functionality compared to old version
Can’t understand why there are preroll video ads for a radio station that has ads as part of its regular programming. If you are in an area where your connection goes in and out, you are subjected to the same ad with every reconnect. Also, it keeps you from clicking your phone off while that ad is playing... the audio stops instead of continuing from the lick screen. So you have to unlock, play wait for the ad to finish, then start the audio. Super frustrating.Show lessquadcap
Greed and incompetence strikes again
Leave it to a greedy developer to utterly ruin a decent app. Once they start prioritizing ads and other nonsense within the app and the performance of the streaming suffers, you know it’s only a matter of time until people dump the app and look elsewhere.
Now I get to listen to the SAME ad for insurance at least 16 times a day!
Once these developers realize they don’t exist in a vacuum, and they can’t force feed their shovelware on people the more apt they are to actually create an app that works as it’s expected to work. 👎Show lessVinny Reggiannini
Only for Bruins games
I use this app only for Boston Bruins games since I quit watching and supporting Sportsnet after they fired Don Cherry and killed “Coach’s Corner” off.Prince of Pop
Awful
I love this radio station. Listen to it all day on the app and I live in Illinois. This new version is the worst. Listening to a live show is brutal. The stream consistently drops and the app closes. Sometimes it will work for a whole segment but as soon as a commercial comes on the stream stops. Most of the time it plays for like a minute or two and just drops. I can only listen to this station now after each hour of a show is uploaded. Bring back the old version of the app because this one is completely useless. I tried using my Alexa yesterday to listen and that was better but even then it would stop and tell me the station was unavailable.Show lessSean in Naperville
Deceiving
