You need to take a hard look at this app! I had very few problems listening to the station on my iPhone 13 up until about a week and a half ago. It seems that when I installed the latest iOS version, that’s when the app started to drop quite frequently. I miss listening to DJ Heavy aka Heavy Claus!! ### 5/5 — 94.9 the best *2023-11-02* We moved to Brunswick Co 15 yrs ago. My husband said it was so that we could listen to 94.9. We love the music and the DJ’s. Thanks for the memories. ### 3/5 — Love the station. The app needs work *2022-05-04* Tough to listen via this app on iOS (the Android version is somewhat better). Audio stops quite frequently, especially when minimized and using other apps. Looks like I’m not the only one who has experienced this. The support link merely goes to the station website, where I merely clicked on the “listen” link, where I got a dependable stream that doesn’t keep stopping. I certainly hope that is not the app developer’s solution to this. So, in other words, UPDATE THE APP! ### 3/5 — App keeps pausing music *2022-02-15, version 8.0.0* I have tried to call your contact number of 843-663-9492 and no one ever answers. I called Apple support and they tell me the problem is on your end. Your music at 94.9 keeps pausing and stops playing. Support said you have a bug for 12.5.5 version that needs to be repaired for my iPad. It plays fine on my iPhone but not the iPad. Would you please fix that bug so I can continue to listen to your wonderful music without it keeping knocking me off. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2021-02-28* Like being at the beach wherever I am! For that, I give it 5 stars. The app seems a bit sensitive on my iphone 8. Stops playing if using other smartphone functions. Good to see the song title/artists. That info doesn’t refresh sometimes. ### 5/5 — Love for 94.9 *2020-12-15* I’ve lived here since 1979, I remain a loyal listener! The music makes me dance around in my house and happy in the car! Now I seem to have it on my phone! What more do I need? Thanks ### 5/5 — LOVE THE MUSIC!!! *2020-07-18* We live in Topsail Beach and Orange, VA and take 94.9 EVERYWHERE with us! Bluetooth speakers on the boat, at the deck, on the dock. On the farm...all the time...in the stable! thank you for all your great music! ### 1/5 — Spam Safari Ads Popping Up *2018-10-10* This app has been great but used on the app or launching from the web browser, there is a spam/scam pop up and makes streaming the station impossible. This occurs after deleting and reinstalling the app as well. ### 5/5 — We turn it off! *2018-03-18* Unless it’s 94.9 The Surf! Then we can’t leave the radio! They play the best Beach and Shag music ever heard on any radio station. Couple all that with oldies that we haven’t heard in years! Not the overplayed burned out stuff. We get very happy with hearing The Surf, not angry as we do with the other cookie cutter stations. Thanks for another great day of listening, 94.9 The Surf! ## Frequently asked questions about 949 The Surf ### What kind of music can I listen to on this app?
