### 1/5 — Immediate Delete

*2021-10-02, version 6.20.2*

Garbage app, cluttered grossness, and on top of that, it just doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — App is Garbage like Josh’s Takes

*2021-09-12, version 6.20.2*

Your app functions like Nebraska’s Special Teams!  Love the station, but app is garbage!

### 1/5 — This app sucks…

*2021-08-26, version 6.20.2*

Love the station and
Programming but for as
Much money as this company makes, you would think they would have an app that works

### 1/5 — Good station; awful app

*2021-07-21, version 6.20.2*

It does work, a lot of the time. But start the app a few minutes before you want to listen. And don’t move the phone, try to connect to Bluetooth speakers, or look at it funny. It will stop casting, and take a few minutes to reload, but likely you’ll have to restart the app.

### 1/5 — Lots of problems

*2020-02-04, version 6.11.1*

I love listening to this APP when it works as I live in NY and it keeps me plugged in with sports back home. That being said this app is pretty buggy. It has to refresh every time I unlock my phone screen and it does crash a fair bit, especially on my iPhone 11. For some reason podcasts play in reverse chronological order, you have to keep clicking back into the podcast section to get the next segment in the show. It won’t just play the show segments in the order they happened. Lastly it is tough to use in a car, it isn’t CarPlay compatible so you have to look at and use your phone to change podcasts, cause it to refresh, etc.

### 1/5 — This app is way unstable for Apple products

*2019-12-19, version 6.9.1*

This app needs some work for Apple products.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2019-11-23, version 6.9.1*

I constantly get it saying “buffering” but it rarely gets beyond that. When it works it’s spotty.

### 1/5 — Content good, app terrible

*2019-07-21, version 6.8.0*

The content itself is very good but the app is terrible. It constantly will reset or stop streaming.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2019-03-04, version 6.8.0*

I live in Texas and this was my favorite radio station in Nebraska, please let it work on cellular as I’m not always on WiFi it usually ever

### 1/5 — It never wirks

*2018-10-24, version 6.8.0*

Which is a bummer because this is my #1 source of Husker football info living in Louisiana.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on iPhone X

*2018-08-31, version 6.6.1*

Mine iPhone X doesn’t support it either

### 1/5 — Trash

*2018-08-28, version 6.6.1*

When I try to scroll to another segment on a podcast the app freaks out and says unsupported url and I have to close it.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2018-08-12, version 6.5.0*

The update you did 2 months ago BLOWS!!
When it does work it’s WiFi only but mostly never does

### 1/5 — Awful

*2018-08-09, version 6.5.0*

Worst app ever.  Resets everything I open it even if it’s already running in the background.  When a downloaded segment ends it starts with live radio

### 1/5 — Loops

*2018-08-01, version 6.5.0*

At start up it goes into a consistent advertisement loop.  Have to restart.  It’s so bad I give up listening.

### 1/5 — This app is complete garbage

*2022-10-30, version 8.0.0*

All the reviews are terrible. Why don’t they address the issues? Just don’t even have an app of if it’s not usable.

### 1/5 — Won’t load for me either

*2022-09-12, version 8.0.0*

This ap is the biggest piece of crap. I’d give it 0 stars but that won’t load either.

### 1/5 — Booo! Never works

*2022-09-05, version 8.0.0*

This app used to be great, but it hasn’t worked in ages. At best, you get a “loading” screen and then it fails to pull up either radio station. Either fix it or pull it from the App Store already; you’re giving people false hope that we might be able to pick up games and local sports talk through this defunct sports station app.

### 1/5 — Ugh

*2022-09-02, version 8.0.0*

App crashes all the time. Plus, It’s so frustrating if I’m listening to a podcast and leave app for a couple seconds, the app backs out to their home screen and you have to find your way back to which podcast and which episode to get back to where you were.

### 1/5 — I’d give it negative stars if I could.

*2022-08-24, version 8.0.0*

This app unfortunately has gotten worse despite updating. You constantly have to close it and re-open it to play individual pods.  It doesn’t seem to play pods continuously like the previous version did. They make the play icon as small as possible so that you accidentally tap the adjacent advertisements. It constantly stops on its own. The designer should be embarrassed with the poor functionality.

### 1/5 — This app is clickbait. Don’t install.

*2022-03-17, version 8.0.0*

This app is clickbait. Don’t install. Tried to cancel a pop-up add and ended on Phillips 66 site for a download three times. Unintuitive interface. Not formatted for iPod.

### 1/5 — Good shows, bad app

*2022-02-22, version 8.0.0*

Love the satiation, but this might be the worst app I’ve ever used for anything. It doesn’t auto close the opening ad, when you close the opening ad, there’s a long delay for the audio to start, it crashes constantly, if you pause it it just closes (or picks up but crashes when it gets to real time. 

The weird part is they know this (even the good reviews here say the app is bad). It would be better for the station and the shows if they just linked to tune in or something rather than this.

### 1/5 — Crashes constantly

*2021-12-29, version 8.0.0*

Need to fix something in this app it never wants to load and crashes constantly when it does load. If I have to pause it for any reason I have to reboot the whole thing to get it going again. Love listening tho

### 1/5 — No UNO Hockey

*2021-12-04, version 6.20.2*

Haven’t been able to listen to ONE Mavs game this year. We’re two months into the season....figure it out

### 1/5 — Worst app in the history of apps

*2021-10-31, version 6.20.2*

As others have said, it’s a shame that a good station has such a bad app.    Nearly impossible to use.    Takes forever to load up.   Get better.

### 5/5 — App closes on my iPhone X

*2018-04-10, version 5.2.6*

Hey guys! I love this station. I live in Nj. And this station is one way I stay connected to back home. But ever since I bought the iPhone X your app instantly closes right after I open it. It’s as if it crashes or can’t work on my iPhone. I’m going to try deleting the app and re-downloading it and seeing what helps. If you have any advice or can update the app so it works on the iPhone X I would greatly appreciate it.

### 4/5 — Latest update is bad

*2020-01-22, version 6.11.1*

Love the content but the latest update causes the app to restart anytime I open it even if it’s already playing in the background. It didn’t use to do this so I’m not sure why it was changed.

### 3/5 — App crashes every time you open your phone

*2020-01-14, version 6.11.1*

Love everything about this app but this and it’s very inconvenient to be messing with it as I drive. It appears to be a bug because it didn’t do this before the last update.

### 3/5 — Haywire

*2018-08-14, version 6.5.0*

App was working great up until 10 days ago. When I try to scroll down to select podcasts over a day old, the app freaks out and I can’t do anything and have to close it. Happens with every show

### 2/5 — Bad app for a decent sports station.

*2022-03-13, version 8.0.0*

Ya… this app stinks. The station is decent for local radio but this app,  Very meh!!

### 2/5 — Drops signal

*2017-01-03, version 5.1.36*

Even when it's on my wifi drops.  Scroll bar is too tiny. Podcasts play backwards from top to bottom.
