Great programming lineup.  And don’t keep changing it.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2014-06-23*

Turn it on, push play, works. Love it.

### 1/5 — Ahole

*2014-04-20*

App doesn't work. As Obama says, period! Needs some work
Reloaded third time and works fine now but still preferred FM. Listen to Ramsey, Gary Sullivan and Levin when on wifi otherwise not worth using my minutes up. Not an ahole but you can figure out yourself.
