### 5/5 — All you need is… This.

*2020-04-06, version 3.1*

Great app for listening to the radio station when you can't listen to a radio. I use this while mowing the lawn and it's great. Simple to use and I get to check our news at the same time.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the kind words & rating. We’re glad you enjoy using our app. ❤️📻

### 5/5 — Best app ever

*2018-08-30, version 2.3.3*

The pulse is by far the best radio station ever, so obviously this app has to be great too. 

Actually this is the best app ever. It has everything you could ever want. 

Justin Heintz is a technical genius and it shows in this clean and easy to use app for my favorite radio station. 88.7 The Pulse

**Developer response:** ☺️❤️ ~ Justin

### 3/5 — Love the station but.....

*2017-09-15, version 2.3*

..the only thing I use the app for is for is the streaming. Wish there was more to look at. Maybe add a section where you talk about the DJ more. DJ Code, Hot pocket, Kirst, Gadgets etc.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the honest feedback. We hope to have DJ information and schedule of programming features available in the app by the end of the year.

### 5/5 — Great ways to engage with The Pulse!!

*2017-09-11, version 2.3*

I downloaded the app for 88.7 The Pulse and enjoyed learning about the features of the app from the articles and movie reviews, social media, contests, and streaming online.  

I like the article summaries posted on the main page of the app with the option to open up the full article and a comment page.  It's also easy to search through all of the articles.  There is also a nice collection movie reviews.

I appreciate the contests you can access on the app for The Pulse though they are few and far between.  It would be great to have more contests in the future.  

The links to social media work and are helpful to connect with the online community of The Pulse though it appears to just be Facebook at this time.  It is also easy to engage the station via phone or text.

Finally, it's great to be able to conveniently listen to The Pulse by steaming it through the app.

### 5/5 — Music to my heart

*2017-09-09, version 2.3*

I like that they don't stick to one genre they play all the good music. And they are so funny and give out real new. Not who is dating who in the celebrity world.

### 5/5 — 88.7 App

*2015-11-14, version 1.1.3*

The app is great! It's simple, which is a sigh of relief in this day and age. I do wish you would display the names of the broadcasters. My favorite is Ryan Lake!

### 5/5 — THE PULSE

*2015-07-06, version 1.1.1*

This is the Pulse. Love the Pulse. Care for the Pulse. Listen to the Pulse. 90.7, 92.7 THE PULSE. COMMERCIAL FREE ENERGY.
