Many good improvements
This app has come a long way! A couple of years ago it was nearly unusable and now I can have nearly flawless listening, most of the time. Annoying bits are regarding ads whenever the stream/audio is refreshed. So if I’m ever moving from wifi to data, I’m constantly hearing commercials, even when the shows are live.

The app crashes
I used to like this app. I used all the time: while I drove, in the house, while walked.
Now it is stuck on the black screen and won’t connect in my truck , to my ear buds, or just open listening over my phone. It needs updated!!

You can do better
Basically downloaded so I could listen to Cincinnati Reds baseball. Have tried two days in a row and the link doesn’t work.
Somehow it got worse…
Inarguably the worst app ever… like we all know it look at the review…. But somehow it got worse…. Even the glitchy jumping to local commercials if u ever think about changing wireless connection, played constantly… now it’s 50:50 if you even start your stream … I know 97.1 doesn’t design the app themselves… so why keep this failure of a app engineer company

Morning Juice
I always enjoy listening to some news for the Buckeyes every week, and Morning Juice is what I mostly listen to hosted by Brandon Beam, & co-hosted by former Buckeye & nfl player Bobby Carpenter.
Crashing
Just installed, rebooted and still crashing and won’t open. On latest iOS release.
Absolute garbage
Sure would be nice to listen to a game on “the home of the crew”. If this was an OSU issue, it would have been fixed by now. But since it’s not, I guess I’ll just have to listen to some crappy ESPN content. Thanks a bunch !!
Just awful streaming service experience
This app delivers an awful streaming service experience. Whenever you switch your phone from Wi-Fi to cellular or vice versa, the app immediately believes you need to hear an advertisement. These ads are annoying, repetitive and too long, while you wait and miss content. Oh, and even when you don’t switch between Wi-Fi and cellular, the app says I think you need another ad! Just random ad drops for no reason.

Media company can’t write a functional app?
Worst app on the App Store? Probably. Issues already addressed by other users but…
Switch from network to WiFi? Frozen, repeated commercials when finally resumes
Leave wifi range and switch to network? Same as above.
Press pause (well, now it’s a stop button)? Same as above. This usually requires additional step of swiping app closed and relaunching to even get to the commercials.
No other streaming app has a problem continued service when switching data sources or pausing.
Oh, almost forgot…connect to car stereo? Same as above.
Put headphones (AirPods) in, seamlessly continues…take them out? Have to swipe closed and relaunch to get to work again.

Same complaint as everyone else
I’m listening to the app… My cell service drops and the stream cuts out… Then when my phone gets back into service and the stream picks up, I have to listen to an ad again… every.single.time. And yet I still have to listen to ads during the commercial breaks. Please just get this corrected. It’s clearly been going on for years and years. I no longer live in central Ohio, so I have no choice but to use the app on my drive to work. Maybe someday I will return but for now goodbye my 97.1 friends.

GAWD AWFUL!
GD worst app ever!!!! Advertisements will literally take over screen to the point where you have to delete app and then re download. And that is just one issue.
No joke this happened. I used this app to listen to live radio. The app messed with my phone volume and I missed phone calls and text alerts. Even with volume all the way up.

Terrible
They seriously need to fire whoever made this horrible app and fire whoever hired them. And if they have been fired they need to fire their replacement
Worst app ever
I am a Buckeye who has lived far away from Columbus for years and I love keeping up with my team through The Fan radio shows. This app has always been terrible and seems to be getting worse! Constantly buffering, shutting off and then going to a commercial…over and over. I’ve reinstalled multiple times this week with no better luck. The shows are getting worse too — Bishop and FRIENDS — can you please shell out some money for some actual radio talent or athletes??? Bishop and his friends are neither. But that’s besides the point for this review. Please fix this!!!!!!

Just a bad app that has good content
You have to close the advertisement before it starts playing content. Which means that every time you stop playing, like if you have an alarm, sometimes Twitter will stop it, you have to open up the app just to hit closed on the advert, especially painful if you are driving.
I had people from Germany working with me for a month, I guess it’s always listening because it gave me an advertisement in German, which I had to look up what the German word for closed is for it to start playing the shows. I’m surprised I put up with it but I do like most of the shows of this station it’s just the app is garbage

Terrible App
The only thing this app does effectively is play adds. So frustrating to use, I love the radio station unfortunately it’s hard to listen with this app because it cuts in and out all day long and plays replays adds every time it cuts out. SMH….. so frustrating
Unbelievably bad
Refer to previous review. So well written.
Still isn’t fixed despite on-air talents’ claim
See review from Bentzie99 dated January 18. Copy & paste here. It’s frustrating how often it cuts out and I’m sick of hearing Little Animal’s voice on a commercial endlessly when it picks up again. He isn’t in Columbus anyway.
Broken Record
I came to leave a review on how terrible this streaming app is, but a simple search shows that many people have already stated the obvious. A review from TWO YEARS AGO states the same issues that are STILL currently happening. I try to enjoy listening while doing yard work or other misc. tasks but become too frustrated with how often the service is dropped. In comparison, I have not had this issue with any other podcast or listening service. Only this one. Mowing the yard? How about listening to the same ads over and over and over again. Receive a phone call, even if you don’t answer it? Congrats, you get to listen to more ads before you get to listen to any content. Accidentally tap on something that has sound? More ads for you. Hit pause briefly to answer someone? Ads, ads, and more ads. Ironically here in central Ohio you’ll get to listen to many ads from… Michigan? If I could I would rate this with a -1 star. Going on 2 years of a pandemic where many people work from home and this app has consistently been terrible. The hosts have mentioned that the app has been updated multiple times to fix issues, yet none of the issues have been fixed. This is utterly pathetic and sad that a radio station takes such little pride in what they put out to their listeners. Do better!

This app could not be worse.
It’s not even playing the Rose bowl even though it says it’s playing the rose bowl. Just playing ESPN radio stuff. Abysmal app which is unfortunate because they have a lot of radio talent I’d like to hear. I also don’t appreciate having to listen to an ad just to start the radio and every time the app crashes ( which is frequent) I have to listen to another ad to start listening

App keeps crashing again
Not much more to say. App keeps crashing while streaming and I open another app.
