But… change from WiFi to data? You get a reset ad. Use your phone for anything with audio? You get a reset ad. I’m listening to a game that is 30% ads anyway. I don’t need to hear from Beaver Toyota every time I pause playback. ### 4/5 — Background *2026-07-25, version 5.1.0* App often will not run in the background and must be forefront. ### 3/5 — New update *2026-07-22, version 5.1.0* Used to be I could be listening on my phone and then I take a call. When the call finished it would go back to playing the app. It quit doing that and now I have to restart the app every time someone calls. Kind of a pain in the but. Please fix. ### 2/5 — App is Trash *2026-07-08, version 4.11.4* This app doesn’t work the same from one hour to the next. There’s zero reason I should have to have my screen unlocked and app open for it to play audio. There’s zero reason I should get an ad every time I go from WiFi to cellular data. The radio signal for this station sucks less than 10 miles from its own studio, and the app is just as unreliable. ### 4/5 — Stop the ads in middle of innings *2026-06-23, version 4.11.4* Great app and easy to listen. Why have yall started playing ads in the middle of innings? It’s really frustrating in middle of inning and ad comes on when we already listen to all the other. I’d be willing to pay for it before cutting stream off in middle of innings ### 2/5 — Annoying ads *2026-05-27, version 4.11.4* The app goes dark from time to time for no reason. My wifi is strong, I’m not moving, but suddenly it goes silent. A few minutes later it returns. While traveling in the car, listening fir 3 or 4 hours, suddenly during the middle of a segment I want to hear, an ad for capitol one will interrupt. This happens about d wry 45 minutes. It’s as annoying as hell. I’m listening to all the ads in the programming, AND these other app-only ads. Hate it. ### 2/5 — Inconsistent Audio *2026-05-23, version 4.11.4* Horrible consistency with the audio cutting in and out, for example, listening to an Atlanta Braves baseball game. Just a bad experience especially when cutting out during crucial plays. ### 2/5 — Works fine on phone, not on CarPlay *2026-04-25, version 4.11.4* I can never get the live stream to start when I start it through CarPlay ### 2/5 — Horrendous CarPlay Integration *2026-04-15, version 4.11.4* The app works pretty good if you’re using headphones, but the integration with CarPlay is absolutely abysmal. If you get a call that interrupts the stream, the ONLY way to get the stream back is to pick up your phone, manually force close the app, restart it, then listen to the non-skippable commercial again. Otherwise, it’ll just sit there and do nothing in silence. ### 4/5 — Can’t use my phone while listening thru my truck radio. *2026-03-15, version 4.11.4* If I have the app open and I want to look at my maps , the radio fades out till I bring the app back to front. ### 3/5 — Very buggy *2026-01-21, version 4.11.3* Have to restart the app constantly and I has disappeared from Apple car play ### 2/5 — CarPlay support now gone? *2026-01-19, version 4.11.3* Where did it go? ### 2/5 — In and out *2025-12-29, version 4.11.2* This app is so frustrating!! It goes in and out all the time. Every time it cuts out I have to listen to an ad. As I drive and even when I am at home I get so frustrated with this app due to it going in and out. I also hate the fact that it switches to commercials on a whim. I also hate the fact that each time I switch from my Bluetooth speaker back to the phone I have to go through commercials. ### 2/5 — Mr *2025-12-16, version 4.11.2* Please make a button to call straight from the app ### 2/5 — Short shelf life *2025-12-01, version 4.11.2* Refuses to play after a week’s time and I have to delete and reload the app. Rinse lather repeat. ### 3/5 — Frequency of uploading shows and or clips *2025-11-18, version 4.11.2* Please update the shows on the app more regularly or quickly, so that you can listen to a show or parts of a show from the same day instead of having to wait for the next day for shows to be uploaded? ### 2/5 — Most inconsistent app I’ve ever had *2025-11-12, version 4.11.2* App fails to load 50% of the time that I tap the icon on my phone; been that way with the last 3 iPhones I’ve had; have no idea why and it’s extremely frustrating as 690 is the radio station I listen to the most; Ive deleted & reinstalled more than once to no avail; as a comparison, I also have a WSB radio app that is near flawless in comparison. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App Restarts *2026-08-17, version 5.1.3* I enjoy the quality of the sound and the ease of use of the app, however, I have to restart the app because it either stops playing or goes dark one out of every three times I use it. ### 1/5 — Sometimes it even occasionally works! *2026-08-11, version 5.1.3* But most of the time I stare at a worthless yellow screen with an ad that replays, then plays additional audio ads, then MAYBE works. All bets are off if Bluetooth is being used. Hire a real app-dev guys. This is trash. Congrats on bringing Kincaid back though I guess. I’m out ### 1/5 — Getting Rid of Chuck is a Disgrace *2026-08-06, version 5.1.3* Replacing one of the friendliest, most informative, and most entertaining hosts of any radio show I’ve ever heard and replacing him with one of the most divisive and ornery personalities in the history of 680 is a terrible decision. Especially for a station that prides itself on being “southern” and “for Atlanta”. If Chuck really wants to take a step back you could’ve at least given Kelly or one of the guys from the Locker Room a shot. They’ve all earned it. App deleted. ### 1/5 — Please make this less frustrating! *2026-07-30, version 5.1.0* I love the 680 lineup and I want to listen to the station every time I get in the car, but the AM and FM frequencies do not carry OTP, like it’s pitiful. So the app would be a great solution … if it didn’t stop working every 5 minutes and make me restart the stream! Omg it’s the most frustrating thing in the world! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make this app as good as your sports talk lineup ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-06-18, version 4.11.4* How about more ads please ### 1/5 — Please make this less frustrating! *2026-04-14, version 4.11.4* I love the 680 lineup and I want to listen to the station every time I get in the car, but the AM and FM frequencies do not carry OTP, like it’s pitiful. So the app would be a great solution … if it didn’t stop working every 5 minutes and make me restart the stream! Omg it’s the most frustrating thing in the world! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make this app as good as your sports talk lineup ### 1/5 — Can't listen *2026-04-05, version 4.11.4* Popup ads prevent you from listening ### 1/5 — Ads are RIDICULOUS *2025-11-21, version 4.11.2* 1. Unstoppable Spanish language ads 2. Repetitive “sexy” bumpers 100x a day 3. Monotonous, repeating music underneath Around the Campus 4. Been force-fed the same COVID-era Beaver Toyota video since 2020 ### 1/5 — Garbage app infiltrated with garish ads *2025-11-19, version 4.11.2* This app is terrible and doesnt work very well. You have to reset it constantly also has entirely too many intrusive ads ### 1/5 — App *2025-09-22, version 4.11.1* Every time I use the app I will not play in the background, if I want to listen and do something else on my phone the audio goes away, or if I turn my screen off the audio stops playing. Please fix it because I hate using TuneIn to listen to 680 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — App doesn’t work anymore *2026-08-09, version 5.1.3* The app will not work for me anymore. Always goes to a gray background and then nothing. ### 5/5 — Best Announcer *2026-05-14, version 4.11.4* Buck Belue has got to be the best announcer since Skip Carey. Great job! ### 5/5 — 1 Sports Channel In GA.!! *2025-10-29, version 4.11.2* 💥 ### 5/5 — Love the app but IOS 26 broke it *2025-09-20, version 4.11.1* Updated to IOS26 yesterday and now the app won’t play when minimized or if I turn the screen off. ### 5/5 — Braves fan *2025-08-03, version 4.11.1* I love this app. Good quality sound; I listen to Braves games on here. Thanks for broadcasting them. ### 5/5 — Braves *2025-05-25, version 4.11.1* Great ### 5/5 — A Must-Have for Braves Fans! *2025-05-14, version 4.11.1* I use the 680 The Fan app solely to listen to Atlanta Braves baseball games, and it delivers every time. The audio quality is outstanding, and the broadcasts always start right on time. I especially enjoy hearing the Braves’ own team announcers—they bring great energy and insight to every game. If you’re a Braves fan, this app is essential! ### 5/5 — Must have for Ga sports fans *2025-03-27, version 4.11.1* Knowledgeable and fun!! Every show brings its own flair and voice. Listen whenever I have the chance. If you are a Ga sports fan the app is a must have. ### 5/5 — FOR THE A *2025-02-22, version 4.10.20* Love 680 the fan because I can always listen to the games even when I’m riding down the road ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-02-13, version 4.10.20* The app is easy to use and you can enjoy all the broadcast shows. Either when there on the air or later. Never miss a show. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
