  • You get the Ticket, but….

    Huge plus: you can listen to the Ticket on your phone. Even go back an hour, which is brilliant.

    Major problem: the ads in the picture box (where you see the pictures of the hosts) are auto playing and cutting off the stream. And if I minimize the app, then the stream stops. I can’t do anything else on my phone.

  • Get rid of the fullscreen ads!

    Ads in the stream and on the screen above the playback controls - do you really need to use those fullscreen ads that entirely block the player controls?!

    And if you're going to force that garbage on us, at least moderate them. Half of them have fake Close Ad buttons that bait people into clicking something they're not interested in, and the other half aren't in English, even though the station the app is broadcasting is.

    Do better. Please.

    Thank you for the feedback. I have passed this along and will followup.
  • Full Screen adds you can’t get out of

    This has started to happen lately, switch back to the app to fast forward and your hit with a full screen add, no biggie if you could exit out of it or wait for it to go away…but no the ad goes full screen with no way to get it off the screen other than restarting the app and loosing where you were at in the show. Hopefully they will address this.

  • Weird things happening

    Recently I've been getting the full page ads in multiple languages and sometimes the audio will go silent then start up again like it's in fast forward. The ads don't have a close option in the top right, it's one of the boxes. I've learned this now but at first I was getting an ad in Chinese and had to close and open the app to get it off the screen. Currently on software 16.3.1.

  • So, so bad

    I’ve used this app off and on for nearly a decade and it may be worse than when I started using it.

    Scrub bar to go back doesn’t work sometimes, the stream does this weird laggy thing at least once an hour where it stops for about 10 seconds, then plays all the audio being buffered in one sped up ball of noise.

    Why does the app play when after I have closed it? That’s weird and concerning. Example: I close the app entirely, then later on connect to CarPlay or headphones and it immediately starts playing the stream. How? I closed it.

    Is it really that difficult to update images or names of segments? If so, why have images or names of segments?

    Why do you have to tap play 3-4 times to resume playback after pausing?

    The ticket should invest in a better app. I’d gladly pay monthly. Instead, I’m just going to stop listening.

    I am sorry you are experiencing issues. Can you send me your device type and OS version please? Thank you for letting us know.
  • Apple watch

    This app gets me through the day but when I’m at the gym and I just have my watch, it’s not an option. Please please please make this app work on the Apple watch!
  • App is back to tier 1

    Thank you app gods. App is no longer spare and has returned to being as great as the ticket. Thank you for what you do to your bodies.
  • Disconnection Issues

    Always get disconnected even with good cellular reception! I have to pause and then press play but usually get a “buffering” message. Super frustrating!

    Update ! Changed review to 5 star. Received and reply from DMN and was told they found the issue and fixed it. I tried the updated app and it works great and the stream of 1310 The Ticket is flawless. Thanks for your attention and I will use it every day!

    Hi Engelland, Thanks for your feedback. We’ve been able to find and fix the problem that caused the stream to buffer and pause. The stream should work without issue now. We’re sorry about the inconvenience.
  • Unreliable Stream

    As a P1, it hurts me to write this, but this app has taken a sharp turn into becoming useless. The stream has become intermittent for no good reason at times — limited service or good service (all bars, wifi). This applies to the replay/rewind feature too. I’ve tried to replay or rewind to catch a segment numerous times in the past 3 months, and all it does is display “BUFFERING”… and never resumes the broadcast.

    If The Ticket is going to continue to pursue this app partnership, then they should put some decent engineers on this thing. Especially if they’re going to count on their stream numbers for ratings. This app has frustrated me so much recently that I’ve considered just not listening to my favorite station anymore. I’d like to listen to “Muse in the News” live, not just keep my fingers crossed that it shows up on Spotify’s Top Ten podcast list.

  • Buffer city

    If you’re not on Wi-Fi then the app struggles. My Wi-Fi I use at work is around 18d/18u so it’s nothing to write home about. My drive to work (between 35-60 minutes) I get 5G and at times is over 400d. The app still struggles when not on Wi-Fi. I’m guessing the app creator should find a better way to buffer the stream because when I’m paused or rewinding/fast forwarding the app struggles. I also use the XM app and it handles those situations much better. The Ticket will start to lose some listeners to The Freak if we get frustrated because we can’t stream The Ticket. Fix this %$!& Rich!
