### 3/5 — Trouble lately

*2025-05-01*

Been using the app for 9 years. Lately every time I hit the live play button the app crashes. I have to delete and download the app every morning before it will work. That’s right, I use the app every morning!! Please fix it!

### 2/5 — Crashed

*2025-02-25*

It crashes and plays the ads over the station sometimes

### 3/5 — Latest Update Causes Paused Playback Every 1-2m

*2021-10-19*

I don’t leave reviews, but will update this one when fixed. Started on the latest update, iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 14.7.1, app will pause playback of podcast every 1-2m. For other iPhone users with the issue, website plays fine.

### 3/5 — Great channel, app is stuck

*2021-10-18*

The app works great, except that it is stuck on the screen as playing girls, girls, girls by Motley Crue. It actually continues playing live music, but the screen stays on the one song. I’ve even tried reinstalling the app and that hasn’t fixed the problem. I hope this problem is resolved soon. I really like the music on the channel. It deserves to have a solidly designed app.

### 2/5 — 6k a day contest not able to login

*2021-08-25, version 4.2.2*

I have been trying to play the 6K a day contests since it started in sometimes it’ll let me login and play and sometimes it says internal error when logging in please get this fixed ASAP so that way next year we don’t have this problem 😄👍🏻

### 3/5 — 🤘

*2021-04-05*

Great station and good app, and the app worked perfectly for a while before It began to crash everytime I liked a song. Playback and login works decently though

### 2/5 — New update bad

*2019-09-27*

I love this app but since this most recent update I am not able to use the app. I tap it to open and it’ll open then close right away. Been trying to listen for a few hours now. I’m very sad.

### 3/5 — Latest update broke app

*2019-09-26*

I listen to this app every single day while I’m working but this update just completely broke the app now. It won’t even load. Upon launch it immediately crashes. Please fix this ASAP!!!  😫

### 4/5 — Don’t forget you password !!

*2019-01-12*

I love this app ! Just don’t forget your password ! I still can’t recover it from the app and still haven’t been able to get back on

### 4/5 — Works for me!

*2018-08-09*

I use the app to listen to HMS when I'm out of range (out of state).

The wake up feature doesn't always work though.

### 3/5 — I want to win

*2017-10-02*

Facebook registration fails even though login is correct.

Also 98 KUPD seems to be a bit heavy on battery usage, compared to other audio streaming apps.

### 1/5 — Broken on iPad 2

*2017-07-09*

Past two versions have been broken for iPad 2. Crashes before audio plays.

### 1/5 — Unhappy!

*2017-05-26, version 3.8.3*

Awesome for years but, wish I would not have done the last update. CRASHES!!!!
Please fix this for the iPad. Missing your app.

### 1/5 — Still not working

*2016-12-07, version 3.7.10*

The stream cuts off after a few minutes. This app is unusable.

### 3/5 — Enjoyment to disappointment.

*2016-07-20, version 3.7.5*

I've been a restocked for decades and loved this app for listening every morning but lately it's been pausing in mid stream and the app is also using all of my phones power constantly searching for a stream. Please correct this miss fortune.

### 1/5 — Stop the vague updates

*2016-06-13, version 3.7.4*

Release notes or 1 star

### 1/5 — Stupid advertisement video

*2026-02-10*

The most annoying thing about this app is the promo video playing in the background!
I’ll be listening on my headphones, then get in my vehicle and the promo is playing in the background! Or if I leave my Wi-Fi on and it connects while I’m driving and I see the buffer circle the promo video will start playing in the background! It’s the most stupid annoying thing ever! I keep deleting the app cause it happens so often!

### 1/5 — Non-workable play button

*2025-04-30*

The live play button to listen to the live broadcast errors out and kicks me out of the app. I can access everything else, including the episodes of the day, but listening live is impossible when I’m constantly kicked out of the app upon pressing the play button to listen live. If this is fixed, I would love to give a better review.

### 1/5 — Do Better

*2025-04-18*

I have to constantly delete and re download the app … do better - Barbara who just moved here

### 1/5 — Meh

*2024-12-10, version 4.3.5*

Good app. The video add when you open the app is a bit much.

### 1/5 — Last update

*2022-04-22*

Ever since last update, its stopped working. Get a big white screen of nothing, save for 4 boxes in the lower left hand corner.  Tried deleting, reinstalling, and nothing. 

Boo

### 1/5 — Doesn’t open

*2021-11-17*

Since the new update, the app doesn’t open unless I restart my iPhone.

**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 — App doesn’t work still

*2021-09-09, version 4.2.3*

Can’t get into it on an iPhone

### 1/5 — Won’t open

*2019-09-27, version 4.0.0*

Will not open on my XS Max...

### 1/5 — No more listening in Canada

*2017-11-07*

Used to be awesome. Unable to listen in Canada anymore...

### 1/5 — BROKEN BY UPDATE

*2017-07-31*

Just like another reviewer, my app was broken on update; it will no longer work on my iPod Touch  I have to listen via Safari if I want to hear it.

### 5/5 — Blank Screen

*2022-01-05*

I can’t open your app. I get a blank white screen when I want to use the app. I’ve deleted and reinstalled it 5 times and it works the first time I open it but only for a minute, then it goes blank again. It used to work fine but I think it stopped working around the same time that I updated to iOS 15.1. I don’t know if one has anything to do with the other but it’s annoying me to no end.

You fixed it. Thanks for putting in the effort. This app works phenomenally now. Good Job.

**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!

### 5/5 — I love it <3

*2020-02-26*

Ive been listening to rock since i was little, and with super rock fan parents i heard the talk show every morning. it bring back the memories and nostalgia, i would recommend it for an Arizona rock fan.

### 5/5 — IOS 13.1 Update

*2019-09-27*

Haven’t been able to open the app since the iOS 13.1 update was installed. Have deleted and reinstalled but to no avail. App opens and then closes remaining open in the background but not functioning. Guess I’ll go back to listening to the podcasts until it works again.

### 5/5 — Streaming

*2017-04-30, version 3.8.2*

So far, the app is amazing! My only issue is the streaming service not working. Luckily, it's not such a big deal since I can simply listen to the radio in my car, but it would be nice to podcast it while I'm doing homework and such.

### 5/5 — The new app

*2016-02-10, version 3.7.0*

Love the new app. Looks awesome on my iPhone.

### 5/5 — Works great iPhone 6 +

*2015-10-19, version 3.6*

I don't know what everyone's taking about it took 3 seconds to download and instantly started playing my Az rock-- boom.. No probs, ads banner at the bottom are constant but it's not incapacitating.. \m/>_<\m/ solid check.. Best radio around been a loyal ear for 10 years

### 5/5 — Great app from active rock legend!

### 5/5 — Awesome

### 5/5 — Background play works!

*2012-08-26, version 3.0*

Background playing doesn't have a button anymore. I just hit my home button and it keeps playing. Very awesome. I had to get the new version when the old one wouldn't even start up anymore...

### 5/5 — Great app!
