### 5/5 — Stoked

*2022-01-19, version 6.18.0*

I'm at the edge of the 96x broadcast area, and can't always get it. Streaming to my Bluetooth speaker on the job site really perks me up, and increases productivity. No other stations in my area format this music....so I love the station, and love the app.

### 3/5 — Meh

*2021-02-23, version 6.18.0*

The app is functional, insofar as it allows you to listen live. But the audio is trash. Sounds like 64k. But I used to live in VA Beach and miss good radio, so it’s a compromise for me.

### 2/5 — No CarPlay!!!

*2020-08-14, version 6.12.0*

A decent radio app should have CarPlay support and this one does not.

### 3/5 — Eh

*2015-07-24, version 5.0.5*

I love 96x in general but it seems like I can only get the app to work once in a blue moon, usually it closes out as soon as I open it but when I can get it to work it is great!

### 4/5 — Saving Grace

*2015-06-17, version 5.0.5*

I am so happy 96x has an app being that I live in NOVA and they just don't do it like 96x here. This app is literally used by me everyday but I am sad that ever since the last update the app has been really sketchy. sometimes it takes turning off my phone and back on to get it to work!! :( PLEASE FIX!!!

### 5/5 — Great

*2013-07-29, version 3.2.1*

:)

### 5/5 — Favourite

*2013-07-07, version 3.2.1*

This app fall second as my list if favourites and of which ones I use. Great for work or when you out on the go without a radio. Love it so much

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2013-02-15, version 3.0.4*

So full of advertisements it's hard to even get to the radio and when you finally do it cuts out even on wifi

### 4/5 — Works

*2012-11-05, version 3.0.3*

App works, able to listen to your station but the app only shows you playing Danzig's "Sorrow". It doesn't change with each song.

### 1/5 — Where did the music go?

*2012-01-31, version 2.1.1*

The app drops even when using wifi all the time. Then it doesn't come back up because of technical difficulties. In the words of Liz Lemon BLURG!!!!!
