What's New in AM 870 The Answer

8.1.1

October 30, 2026

Bug fixes and enhancements.

User reviews

App continually cuts out

While using the app, when the screen goes to sleep so does the app. Also when you go to open any other app, even those that have no sound, the app will quit working. I’ve had to resort to the iHeart radio app to listen on my phone or through a web browser.

Junk

This new version is just plain junk. Have listened for years and typically older app was reliable, not anymore. This version crashes every 5-10 minutes. Useless.

Obviously They Don’t Care About Fixing the Bugs

I’ve been using this app in my car for years and years, griping and complaining because of the constant buffering, if it loads at all. I’ll listen to the Morning Answer on the way to my car, but when I get there, it buffers, and buffers, and buffers, and…MANY mornings I have to turn my phone off and start over, hoping it’ll load. I have to do all my settings before I go to the app because doing all that makes it buffer, and buffer, and… I’m on my 3rd car, so it’s not that. No other app gives me this headache. Now, as I read the reviews, that go back 10 years, that say the same thing makes it clear that Salem could care less about fixing anything. Salem, do better!

Frustratingly inconsistent

This app stops (buffers) and starts too frequently. When I open the app initially, an advertisement plays, usually louder. I am not sure why the additional ads are necessary when I already listen to the station ads. Incidentally, those extra ads play again when I’ve lost the station to buffering. The interface is also wonky (not mobile optimized?) so when the app ads play, they obscure the screen, and are difficult or impossible to dismiss without linking to the ad page and losing the app.

When I’m out walking I’ve been choosing to listen to podcasts instead.

Clear sound but drops off

My home AM radios no longer receive a clear reception of my favorite station (WHY??) so I got the app. Unfortunately, when I go outside to garden or feed the birds it drops off, and half the time won’t come back on! I have to remove the app and restart to connect again.
