Very Buggy

I mainly listen to music via CarPlay. This app takes a stupidly long time to start playing any station and every time it starts, it plays an ad. Even I get a call which interrupts the stream for 30 seconds, an ad will play before the music connects again. If at all. Often I need to restart the station again. Pressing okay usually does not work.
Also stream quality is very low. Worse than FM. I can use Radio App and the quality is almost perfect.
Maybe a choice of quality streaming would be good.

App has potential but needs a lot of work, I believe.

Seriously good app

I love this app - it’s a great way to catch up on my favourite podcast, Kate, Tim & Marty. I love that I can subscribe and download offline, very cool!

Can’t listen to 100.3

Hi - I’ve been listening to Chrissy Sam browny in the mornings since the show I started - it’s a great start to the day. I moved to NSW earlier this year and have continued to listen to 100.3 as my preferred station. This week the app is defaulting all of the eastern seaboard stations to Sydney and I can’t listen to my preferred program. I’ve turned off my location devices - can you please ensure the app I fired so that it I choose 100.3 it doesn’t default to 96.9

Hi vicinnsw - Due to government gambling legislation in NSW we are unable to allow listeners who physically live in NSW or have a NSW IP address to stream stations outside of that state. We are working on a workaround but are at the mercy of government regulations. In the meantime can we suggest that you listen to Chrissy Sam Browny podcast which you can download wherever you get your podcasts. Thanks for your understanding!

Stupid ads when reception cuts in and out

I live in rural NSW and have fleeting reception. With the latest update - if reception cuts out I now have to listen to ANOTHER ad. Doesn’t sound like a biggie but when it happens every 10seconds halfway through a conversation or song - you miss a lot as the ad takes 15-20seconds before it returns to live radio.
Change it back or give the option to buy the app without the ads.
NOT A GOOD CHANGE.

Hi SckeG, We released an update in July which fixed this issue. If you have any other problems don't hesitate to reach out to the team via email: digitaloperations@novaentertainment.com.au

Mostly good

Buffers too often and it won't play when it buffers for so long. Love the station n wish I could stream it with less buffering needed

Awesome!!!

I listen to this in San Francisco, awesome update so cool it can be switched to the multiple locations!

Great app!

Great app!

Lots of ads, but it works

The stream quality has been good lately. Still too many ads- wow, as if all the ads played on the station weren't enough! :P

Also, how about the iPhone 5 update??

Rubbish

2 hard 2 figure out
