It doesn’t update like other apps do and when it does there’s always issues, like relogging in constantly or it just closes mid song sometimes ### 2/5 — Bad station *2022-11-05* Station has gotten worse over time. Station plays certain songs every day and sometimes plays a song twice a day. And the station doesn’t play certain classic rock artists anymore like ZZ Top, The Moody Blues, etc. Whoever’s in charge of the music that gets played is doing a terrible job. Please start playing ZZ Top and the Moody Blues again. And please start having variety in the songs again and stop repeating certain songs everyday! **Developer response:** Please update to the latest version of the app - and let us know if you have any more troubles in the future. We squashed a major bug. Thanks! ### 2/5 — I give up *2022-08-12* All of my equipment is new and up to date, but the app freezes, stream crashes, does not track towards entering contests, etc. I can program a similar station on Apple Music with much less aggravation. ### 2/5 — App Fails Often *2022-06-23* The app always acknowledge upon accessing it. This causes problems with the 5K cash codes. It’s not consistent in tracking the time spent either. I listened all week received entries into all rewards for listening. App shows I only listened 1 day this week and only 2 days all month. Been registered since September 3029 shows only 14 days all time listening. Something’s not right. ### 2/5 — WDRV as a station? THE BEST!!! WDRV as an app? Terrible *2021-11-10, version 4.2.6* I first downloaded the app to an android phone 2 or so years ago. Worked great for a while. Then it started to freeze on songs with the progress wheel spinning & spinning. My only remedy was to frequently uninstall and reinstall. I recently moved over to an iPhone. Now the problem is seeing a blank white page when I open it. I've uninstalled and reinstalled a few times. After I close out from reinstalling I get the blank page again the next time I open it. I'll have to settle for listening to WDRV the old fashioned way because the music and talent is phenomenal. ### 1/5 — 5 star when it works *2019-09-26, version 3.9.9* I updated to 13.1 last night, app won’t open now ### 2/5 — Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!!!!! *2019-02-27* I just downloaded the app, and I cannot open it!! Rebooted my phone and it still doesn’t open!! ### 2/5 — Great station *2018-06-15* Yes, it’s a great station! But the app crashes or freezes or doesn’t even open. I had it on my phone basically since it came out, seemed to worked fine until you start fixing things. I’ve deleted it and reload it three or four times now hopefully figure it out keep up the good work and station and I still think you play too much Zepplin ### 1/5 — Flips on & off *2018-06-13* If it would stay on, not freeze and basically work as it should I would have given a much better review. Since the above mention issues are a necessary function I could not bring myself to no more than 1 star. ### 1/5 — CRASH *2017-10-21, version 3.6.3* Just updated, app just keep Crashing .... ### 2/5 — No buffering *2016-05-22* In the last version, the music doesn't play! There's a problem when the music is loading. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Won’t load *2025-09-16* Would love to listen to, whatever was updated now doesn’t allow the app to start. Just a spinning wheel. When it does , it takes forever, Maybe 5+ minutes if at all. ### 1/5 — Can’t get into app *2024-04-12* I have had no problems with the app until today. I opened it and all I get is a blank white page WTH ### 1/5 — Can’t even load *2023-12-15* App won’t load and dies every time I try to launch. Running latest IOS. ### 1/5 — App on IPad is crashing when logging in or out *2022-06-06, version 4.2.9* Please fix the app on the IPad because it crashes either logging in or logging out. Crashes completely. Fix it ### 1/5 — iOS 15 upgrade now I have remove app reinstall every day *2021-12-21* Ever since iPhone iOS 15 upgrade every day I have to delete app and install for it to work. When I listen & close out of app next time I try to open & listen I get a blank white screen. Can you upgrade the app to work constantly? Tired of re installing every day. **Developer response:** Hello. We are so sorry about that issue. We have finally tracked it down and squashed it! Please update to the latest version of the app - and let us know if you have any more troubles in the future. Thanks! ### 1/5 — Too many ads, not enough music *2021-04-18* Maybe offer ad-free for a one-time $4 charge? Then it might be worth keeping. ### 1/5 — Frustrating! *2020-04-07, version 4.0.3* I love listeria to the DRIVE but find it terribly frustrating to listen through the App. So much cutting out and buffering! Not worth the time. ### 1/5 — meh *2020-04-05, version 4.0.3* Your best bet is to download either NextRadio or TuneIn and use that to stream the Drive. ### 1/5 — Upgrade causes issues *2019-09-27* The application will not load now that I have iOS 13.1 on my iPhone. Please fix it ### 1/5 — Great station, bad app *2019-09-26* App updated recently and it won’t even run anymore! Have uninstalled and reinstalled several times already. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Play list. *2018-01-21* Downloaded the app this morning as a long time listener, I’m looking forward to taking advantage of your offers. I like your individual air personalities playlist. ### 5/5 — A+ *2013-11-19, version 3.3.1* Nice upgrade! ### 4/5 — Birthday Party *2026-03-23, version 4.4.6* I Remember All The Birthday Parties & REO Was 1 of the Bands !!! Joe Cocker Played The 1st Party w/ Moody Blues for the 2nd Party !!! ### 4/5 — Crash and burn *2025-07-26* The current version of the 97.1 The Drive app does not run in iOS26. Granted the iOS is beta, so hopefully they will have it fixed when the Release Candidate comes out. ### 3/5 — Crashes on opening *2025-09-09* I’ve been dealing with the crashing while I was beta testing iOS 26. I understood that beta tests are unstable at best so I lived without the app. Now that iOS 26 is a full release candidate, I was hoping for a different experience. Unfortunately, such is not the case. This version of the app is over 4 months old. Time for an update guys. ### 3/5 — Technology *2024-01-21* I listen to my phone app all day long and then the song picture to get stuck it freezes so it’s giving me the wrong information. The radio station keeps playing different songs with the pictured song is frozen. ### 3/5 — It’s ok *2021-07-25* Display for listen live seems stuck. Has shown “ Girls, girls, girls “ by Motley Crue for days no matter what song is playing. Update made no difference. ### 3/5 — Good radio station *2020-06-02* No way to change listening device. Want to be able to get my reward minutes via google home but unable to cast through app. ### 2/5 — STILL Crashes on opening *2025-10-06* UPDATE Even with version 4.4.2, the STILL crashed on opening and does not load. **Developer response:** Hi Barker1701, We apologize that the latest update didn't resolve the app crashing for you. If you haven't already, please delete the installed WDRV app, restart your device, and then re-install the WDRV app. If this does not resolve the app crashing, please write to app support at streamapp@hbi.com - we'll be happy to look further into what's causing this experience. Please reference WDRV and the email connected to your listening account for quickest assistance. - Hubbard Dev team ### 2/5 — Technology TOO! *2024-05-06* Just Read ClrLive’s review. Exact same problem! Even if you completely log out of the AP & log back in… shows a song that played 20 mins ago! NOT GOOD WHEN TRYING TO WIN LISTENER REWARDS BASED ON “TAP THE TRACK” ENTRY REQUIREMENTS!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
