  • Bypass the pre-roll ad! Use Tunein and start and stop the stream

    Beasley media has now added pre-roll and mid-roll commercials to the live stream and it has consequently ruined the listening experience. Every time I click play I have to sit through a 30 second commercial at the start of the stream, and a Mid-roll commercial will play in the middle of a live segment. It's incredibly frustrating. I have since deleted the app and switch back to tunein. If you start and stop the stream two to three times on tunein you can bypass the pre-roll commercial.

  • Diaper fire

    This app is trash. They don’t update the podcasts frequently. So if I miss an hour I want to listen to I have to wait until next week until they upload it. All of the shows are buried at the bottom, the app is clunky has a hard time refreshing. Sometimes they try and trick you and they’ll be a wrestling in Jimmies sheets episode masquerading as a felger and mazz episode. They should take some of their New England fat loss money and and update this sh$t.

  • New version is painful

    Really liked the old version of the app - super quick to get to replays for shows I missed, very straightforward "Hour 1", "Hour 2", etc listings. Now the shows are in some haphazard order and mixed-in with a bunch of other stuff, with crazy long descriptive titles instead of the timestamp, which are completely impossible to read quickly (in the car, especially) and very touchy to scroll in the exact spot without accidentally playing the podcast.

    Please add back a quick screen with just the show names, then pick the hour - and include the weekend shows! Now TuneIn is better to listen to 98.5 than their own app.

  • Doesn’t play from lock screen

    I have to look down while I’m driving to unlock it and hit the play button. When you hit play while the phone is locked, there is either an error message or it buffers endlessly until you unlock it. Sometimes this process results in 2 simultaneous audio streams playing at the same time and the only way to stop the audio is to completely shut off the app. Please fix this bug.

  • Horrible battery usage!!!!

    The app works great. Installed it yesterday with no problems. However, I’ve noticed my battery life is awful since then. Turns out this app absolutely destroys battery life and it was only used for an hour each day. Do not download until battery issues are solved!!!
  • About time. No notifications?

    Let me start by saying it’s about time. I hope that you guys strive to make your app the first app I get notifications from when it comes to Boston Sports. Love the auto start stream. That’s phenomenal. Loved that you added the option to shut off auto-start as well. Would love quick access to articles, rosters, and standing\schedules in future. All in all great start here 98.5!!!
