Works for about 10 minutes then just stops. Have to force kill the app then restart. Then have to listen to 3-4 minutes of advertising each time the app starts. If you time this just right with the live broadcast commercial breaks, you may have to listen to upwards of 10 minutes of ads before hearing any actual content. I can’t believe than many app users put up with this. Not worth it to me so I have just started listening to other stations. It’s so frustrating that I have decreased listening to WNML even when I can listen to actual over-the-air radio. ### 1/5 — Unable to use *2019-05-08, version 6.6.0* Network alert every time I try to open and then it shuts down. I live out of state and would love to be able to listen without having to use browser to go to the website. ### 1/5 — No. *2019-03-16, version 6.6.0* You want me to connect my Facebook account? Helll naw. ### 1/5 — Wow *2019-02-13, version 6.6.0* Will not load. Always says “no connection “. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2019-01-21, version 6.6.0* Getting the not connected to network screen. I’ve been on WiFi and still will not work. Seriously fix the dang app. ### 1/5 — I doesn’t work . . . *2018-12-20, version 6.6.0* . . . at all. Is there a way to give zero stars? ### 1/5 — What Happened??? *2018-12-15, version 6.6.0* This app previously was useful - now? USELESS. Where is the broadcast? I always listened to post game shows; guess I will switch to WIVK. ### 1/5 — Crash crash crash *2018-12-15, version 6.6.0* Delete and will never download again! Nashville radio app is way better. ### 1/5 — Won’t work!! *2018-12-10, version 6.6.0* App crashes every time I try to open it. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2018-10-23, version 6.6.0* Are you guys ever going to fix this app or just let it sit here as the trash it’s become recently? Really a shame for those of us that would like to keep up with UT sports outside the Knoxville market. If you’re not going to fix it, take it down...it’s an embarrassment. ### 1/5 — Help!!! *2018-10-20, version 6.6.0* Terrible!!! Since updating the app it does not work! It states that there is a network connection problem. All other apps connected to phone #DATA work fine. From other reviews it is clear to see that I’m not the only one with the problem. ### 1/5 — Pathetic since it was updated *2018-10-13, version 6.6.0* I have not been able to listen since the app was upgraded. The app tells me that I don’t have a network connection when i do. The app then closes. As an out of market listener, this is my only way I can keep up with my Vols. Be better and get this fixed. ### 1/5 — Requires Account Login *2018-10-13, version 6.6.0* Used this app for years. It’s always been great. As of today, you now apparently have to create an account just to listen. Not cool. Create an account so Cumulus can make money by selling your info just to listen?!! ### 1/5 — App crashes *2018-08-27, version 5.1.60* Amazing how often this app crashes. If there was another way to listen to the station remotely, I’d use it. ### 1/5 — Constant crashes *2018-08-15, version 5.1.60* Used to be such a great app, now it constantly crashes and I have to hear the “This is Tyler...” ad every time I relaunch it, which is very 15 minutes at the rate this thing crashes. Love the content, app is garbage. ### 1/5 — Don't Bother *2017-04-06, version 5.1.36* I am a loyal listener to this station and travel weekly. I have used this App every day for over a year and it constantly crashes. Multiple restarts daily, making it impossible to listen to anymore. Download iHeartRadio and listen that way. This app is garbage. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work half the time *2022-09-08, version 9.0.1* I’m been really disappointed in this app. Seems half the time it doesn’t work, and when it actually does it constantly kicks me off so I end up having to listen to the same lousy commercials a hundred times ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2022-08-26, version 9.0.1* This app has completely stopped working. I've deleted it and reinstalled it. Nothing. It loads up to a mostly blank screen with some small icons on it. Nothing happens when you tap them. ### 1/5 — Terrible “upgrade “ *2022-08-04, version 9.0.1* This app used to work great. Now, I can’t even get the login screen to scroll to the input area. Really crummy. ### 1/5 — New Update Has Bad Glitch *2022-07-14, version 9.0.1* I always have to delete the app and reload everyday. This is since the latest update. ### 1/5 — Crap App *2019-12-01, version 6.8.0* Crappy app all together needs redone. To much advertisement, 15 minutes of advertising 30-45 minutes sport talk. Deleted it from my IPhone. ### 1/5 — Complete garbage. *2019-10-05, version 6.8.0* I’ve been a loyal listener of the show for more than 12 years now. Finally tried to download this app to listen to the game today and it doesn’t even work. Thanks for nothing. I feel like this embarrassment of an app would be better off deleted. ### 1/5 — Terrible App *2019-09-25, version 6.8.0* This app never works. Most of the time it says network connection error and closes out whether I’m on cell or WiFi. For a Vol fan in MS this is BEYOND frustrating ### 1/5 — Terrible App *2019-09-05, version 6.8.0* Agree with other reviews. This is a terribly inconsistent app that is very frustrating to use. ### 1/5 — Keeps sayin no internet connection *2019-08-31, version 6.8.0* I love this app but it now says that I have no internet connection and I need to try and connect to the internet so sad it won’t work ### 1/5 — 6/1/19 *2019-06-04, version 6.8.0* I’ve been using this app for over 4 years in Florida, everyday. Now, like everybody else, I get the same “can’t connect to the internet” that everyone else is getting. Why hasn’t the station cared enough to help listeners out? Really poor job and I would think WNML would be more professional in coming up with a fix. I have no problem listening to Tony Basilio. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Better than website *2021-09-02, version 6.20.0* Better than listening to the station on their website. Works fine ### 5/5 — Great App *2015-06-11, version 5.0.5* The updated version of this app is much much better than the previous one. I'm often out of town and I use this all the time to tune in and listen to the guys. Very pleased and can't wait for it to come in handy during football season. ### 5/5 — Works great *2012-08-22, version 2.5.5* They need to reset the reviews or something. Since the recent update, this app works great. I had rated it 1 star previously. No complaints now. Even automatically runs in the background. Nice job. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2011-03-28, version 2.1.1* Use it all the time ### 3/5 — App *2018-07-05, version 5.1.60* What happened to the “on demand” section? It’s been missing for about 2 weeks... ### 3/5 — Mixed reaction *2010-07-19, version 0* Glad to finally have an app to stream the Animal, so it is a good start. I don't like that it is only in landscape, and also don't like that tapping the screen stopped the screen. It was a little too sensitive to me. Hopefully those things can be corrected in the future. Thanks for finally making an app though. ### 2/5 — App use *2022-12-28, version 9.0.1* The shows contents are great but the app is about as sorry as you can get. ### 2/5 — Broke *2018-08-16, version 5.1.60* The app hasn’t worked for me in months!! Just says problem connecting! ### 2/5 — Poor *2017-03-06, version 5.1.36* It shouldn't surprise me given recent personnel decisions by this station, but this app is bad and getting worse. They've become so obsessed with ads that the app, as well as online streaming, are forever freezing up...my guess is because of all the junk pulling up in the background. News flash Cumulus media: we have this app and pull up your website because we want to LISTEN. We're not watching the 4,000 pop-up ads, none of which are going to do you any good when we all get fed up and stop trying to listen. ### 2/5 — Ad logic is terrible *2017-02-07, version 5.1.36* Gets stuck in "ad loops" and have to stop and restart play to get out. Also, streaming just cuts out on occasion even on strong WiFi connection. It's gotten much worse over the last few months. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
