Bad

You can’t pause to sync with the game on TV

App barely works

Love the station but cannot use this app. Always cuts out, reaching their support to see if any troubleshooting may exist is impossible.

Randomly starts playing

The app randomly starts playing, even if the app isn’t open or been used recently. Had to delete the app, too annoying.

Pause the app for a second, here’s an ad

Love the radio station, but I hate the app. I’m listening to commercial radio on the official app of the station, but when the app starts playing I get a canned ad from the app. Sometimes, when my location has changed it’s a video ad that can’t be skipped and the app can’t be closed while it plays or you have to start over. Ads are forced again even after a brief pause. The station runs ads routinely throughout the day. Ads are inserted by the streaming service for the listeners location. Please stop requiring me to wait through a commercial just to start the live broadcast stream.

Constant restart ads are a fail

Developer here doesn't get that people use these while they are roaming from one Wi-Fi to another, or from Wi-Fi to cellular. And that people might use it on speaker and then switch to Bluetooth earbuds. Every one of those events causes the app to stop and force a restart so you have to listen to the "startup sponsor" apps again. It's become virtually unusable unless you sit motionless. Strongly recommend people use Tune-In or another streaming app because this things infuriating at this point. Tune-in streams the live program to me without interruptions and restarts, no matter how many "Wi-Fi roaming" events occur.
