Love the content but not the app
Big fan of all of the shows on 104.3. I live in Michigan and this is a great way to stay connected and up to speed on everything Broncos. That being said, the functionality and consistency of this app is pretty lacking. For one, these are audio presentations that are a lot of times preceded by video advertisements. That makes no sense and makes you wait on a buffer for video and then a buffer for audio. Also, I want to be able to hit play and then shut my screen off and listen to the audio but you have to wait until the video buffers and plays. This is a little annoying when you’re trying to get moving on a run or drive in your car especially if you’re service is spotty and can handle buffering an audio file but not video. Also, why in the world would you remove the 30 second rewind and fast forward buttons? That is an expected function for most podcast formats and since you already had it, why get rid of it?? Again, I LOVE the shows and content these guys create, I just wish the functionality matched the content.

Loss of functionality
The prior version was a bit clunky on the podcast playback but it still worked. This new version is attractive, but you got rid of the 15 sec forward and backward buttons? It’s impossible to go back or forward by less than 3 minutes dragging the timing bar... I appreciate a refined look and a smoother experience but losing those buttons was big mistake. I’ll maybe try using the apple podcast app maybe.

Playback Horrendous
Many mention the ads but IMO no big deal, radio stations play ads. I rate 1 Star bcs the on demand playback is terrible. Very slow to acknowledge a click let alone actually play on demand interviews. Probably 1/3 - 1/2 of the interviews don’t play at all and that is consistent across Wi-Fi and mobile network. I do not listen to Terry W’s outdoor segments, but it’s clear he or his producers care and get their content posted timely. Interviews from weekdays are delayed often for a day or more which in sports world massively reduces relevance of a lot of the interviews. Would listen to a lot more if actually worked. Why don’t they just put it in a podcast app?

Bad ad
As other reviewers have noted the ads are the most annoying aspect of this app... I already have to listen to the normal commercials, but I also have to watch a dumb ad, multiple times sometimes if the connection gets disrupted...
But otherwise I am very grateful for the app do that I can listen to the shows here in Budapest!

Time to delete the app
UPDATE 1: They have taken the add off that you are forced to watch before you can listen. With that being said, I think the app is great now. You can text and call the show directly from the app. Glad they changed their mind on this.
Update 2: Nevermind. Ads are back on. I deleted the app. What a complete joke of a radio station. No wonder half their talent has left and are now on altitude radio.
They updated the app and now you have to watch a video before you can listen. Better hopefully your connection doesn't fail because then you have to start the app again and watch more adds.
Update: So now instead of a 15 second video you have to watch a 30 second video. Thanks The Fan!

Terrible
The new app is awful
Looks nice,doesn't work
Every time I try to listen live and stop the live feed temporarily I have to reload it again and listen to a stupid commercial AGAIN
You can no longer leave a podcast in the middle and then pick it up where you left off
It resets every time
You can't download multiple podcasts at a time and listen offline
Ever since Bonneville took over the entire station has gone down hill
Update
Well now the ad downloads just fine AT LEAST A DOZEN TIMES WHEN TRYING TO LISTEN TO A PODCAST OR LIVE FEEDBACK
Ridiculous obviously you think you're making money off these ads but you're driving away any users that would make it worth advertising
TERRIBLE APP
No downloads anymore
Not worth using
UPDATE
New update stinks because they just had to add commercials back in
I will NEVER patronize any of these businesses

Great App apart from the crashing...
This app is excellent in content. I love that here in Scotland I can still get this station and also the podcasts however whenever my screen rotates or I lock the screen or put the app in the background it crashes. Would be perfect if this didn't happen
Please fix, app is awful now
The app is a shadow of what it used to be. I understand the advertisement, but it's lost functionality (can no longer pre-download podcasts), freezes constantly, have to watch a add every time you pause a podcast, and it's a coin flips chance whether the app starts again after watching the ad. Please fix this! I listen only a fraction of the time compared to what I used to because of these issues.

Why? Why? Why?
Why do you have to take a good thing and ruin it? And who in holy hell makes you watch a VIDEO AD on a radio app? And not just any video ad, no no, the most annoying ad ever to be created... That dip from "Home Mortgage whatever" makes a "FLO from Progressive" commercial seem like a dream and I HATE FLO!!! And don't you dare use your phone for anything you typically use a phone for while this app is running or you will be forced to watch that nightmare all over again (providing said video even loads a second time without freezing or crashing everything). The only app spitting more annoying ads than yours is esPN and that is the reason I switched to this app in the first place... Boo 104.3, you should be ashamed of yourselves for producing an app as shiesty as this to your loyal listeners.

This update is ridiculous, I'm about to give up on 104.3
Seriously!?! I have to listen to the same ad 8 times to get through a 7 minute highlight?
The 104.3 App used to be very glitchy and unusable, then it made a huge improvement and was awesome, not its the worst it's ever been.
I will continue to have nothing good to say about US Mortgages until this app gets fixed. I have had to listen to their horrible add about 100 times now, and that's not an exaggeration.
