I never had that issue before the update. ### 3/5 — Glitchy *2024-10-05, version 6.9.4* App regularly has issues stopping the live feed and continually playing commercials instead or playing the live feed or a 20 second continual loop requiring a restart to fix. ### 4/5 — Texas Music *2024-07-20, version 6.9.4* Appreciate the opportunity to listen to organic Texas Music and Red Dirt. Keep it real! ### 5/5 — Keep it up ! *2024-02-24, version 6.9.4* Your unwavering commitment to Texas and Texas music scene is incredible ### 5/5 — Love this station! *2024-02-24, version 6.9.4* You can’t find this music anywhere else. The Morning Show with Elle is hilarious and all the DJ’s are great! ### 5/5 — The Ranch *2024-02-22, version 6.9.4* Love this station! ### 5/5 — God bless Texas *2022-04-03, version 6.8* Discovered Texas country when living in the state for a bit. Instantly became in love. Moving back to my small town in Northern California for all my family. I had miss an easy station to dial into and listen. Having this app has been great. Gathering I pop it on and people always ask who is this. So I tell them. Got to listen to THE RANCH. I love it and will listen as long as it’s available ### 5/5 — The ranch app *2020-09-20, version 6.4* Great app, it brings this great radio station to me very reliably! Thanks! ### 5/5 — The Ranch rocks *2020-08-23, version 6.4* Always got the Ranch on. Great music all day every day. ### 5/5 — Big Fan *2020-07-16, version 6.4* I’ve been a loyal Ranch fan for many, many years. Been there, got the t- shirt (for real), love ya’ll. Best music there is. Thanks Justin. Native Texan from Aledo streaming 95.9 all over the US of A. PS: listening right friggin now in my barn! Roy Marietta, OK ### 5/5 — I love the ranch!! *2020-04-12, version 6.4* The ranch is my happiness!!! ### 5/5 — Great app *2020-03-30, version 6.4* Great app. Allows this displaced Texan to listen from 1500 miles away. ### 5/5 — My ranch *2020-03-15, version 6.4* Never less than awesome-Will J. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Wtf happened *2026-05-28, version 7.0.2* New version sucks. You have to open up the app to then find the little button in the top right to open up the app again…. It also stops playing frequently. ### 1/5 — New app, a lot of problems *2026-04-05, version 7.0.0* Since updating, the new app constantly crashes and won’t hold a connection. …then won’t reestablish without restarting the app. ### 1/5 — New App Sucks *2026-03-11, version 7.0.0* Old app was much better. Listening today the app stopped working 4 times in 10 minutes. I would have to shut the app completely down and restart it before it would work again. ### 1/5 — A streaming app that doesn’t stream music *2024-11-23, version 6.9.4* Downloaded because I like the station but reception isn’t the best in my area. It shows what song is currently playing but doesn’t actually play it. App is working because the Stockyards ad at start-up has music, as do song previews. Deleted and redownloaded 2x. Tried on Apple and Android. Same result, no music. Practically worthless. ### 1/5 — Avoid this station *2023-10-16* I was a listener from the station’s beginning but the woke program director will block you from the wall if you have any opinion of your own. He’s definitely ruining the Ranch ### 1/5 — It’s not what it used to be *2020-03-08, version 6.4* Too much Nashville sounding stuff and songs you can hear anywhere. I listened to the ranch for the songs nobody else played. When was the last time you heard Ragweed or Ray Wylie maybe one time in a couple days ### 2/5 — Love Hate *2026-08-13, version 7.0.3* As a native Texan I love 95.9 The Ranch. However, this app is horrible. It cuts out for no reason on every device. They need to do better. ### 2/5 — Glitchy and no longer works with Carply *2025-07-31, version 95.9 The Ranch* App is getting super glitchy. You used to be able to control it with CarPlay, no longer. It also cannot be controlled from the Lock Screen anymore. ### 2/5 — Better but not great *2019-10-15, version 6.0* Commercials are still louder than the broadcast. KOKE FM never has this problem on their app. Not sure what the problem is. ### 2/5 — Crashes More Than The Cars at TMS *2019-06-09, version 5.5* I had not used the app on my iPhone 6S+ for a while, so the icon had the little cloud on it. I reloaded the app, and when I opened it, it went to the splash page, then for a brief second, the main page, then shut down. I deleted the app and re-downloaded it from the App Store, with the same results. I re-booted my phone, made sure I had the latest iOS update, and tried again to no avail. The version on my iPad works just fine. Someone needs to look into this, please, as I want to be able to listen on my phone when driving. Thank you! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best in USA *2025-10-29, version 6.9.6* The best station not only in Texas but in USA! ### 5/5 — Love y’all *2025-08-29, version 6.9.6* I’ve been listening to y’all for at least 11 years. I use your app on the road. I used to listen to nothing 70s rock. Almost never now. Love y’all! ### 5/5 — Independent Radio And music dies without support. *2025-08-15, version 6.9.6* Want something that celebrates what makes Texas special? Well it ain’t on no iheart radio, Pandora, or Spotify. Look your mama, papa, memaw and pepaw knew the importance of supporting local live music AND YOU SHOULD TOO! ### 5/5 — Best in TEXAS so Best there is!!! *2025-08-13, version 6.9.6* Been my favorite station since you came on the air ### 5/5 — Excellent *2025-03-29, version 95.9 The Ranch* Great job. The music is great and the commentaries are short. Excellent! Congrats. ### 5/5 — Wandering Paul *2025-01-18, version 95.9 The Ranch* My favorite station, and it’s easy to tune in by the app. ### 5/5 — CarPlay *2024-12-24, version 95.9 The Ranch* I absolutely love this station. Living in the Houston area, but listen to it every day. The most recent update on December 23 removed the app from CarPlay. Wanted to let y’all know in case you didn’t know the update removed it. Thanks, keep playing awesome Texas country. ### 5/5 — Born here live here TEXAN *2024-11-13, version 6.9.4* Truly the best app for music that hits home. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Travelin Lite *2024-03-31, version 6.9.4* I recently started a new job that has me traveling quite a bit. I love having access to the Ranch while I am away from North Texas. It’s a little piece of home everywhere I go! ### 5/5 — Well done!! *2024-03-18, version 6.9.4* I live in Iowa and I wish our country stations would take some pointers from your playlists. I enjoy hearing good country music while steaming The Ranch. It’s so much better than this country pop garbage that we have on most of our local stations. Keep up the great music!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
