### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2026-07-01, version 11.0.9*

Love the hosts and shows, but the app is useless. Freezes and loses connection almost every commercial break.

### 1/5 — No search function

*2026-06-28, version 11.0.9*

I’m trying to search all related news on some of our rookies on this app but can’t simply search the name of the player to bring up all related information.

### 1/5 — New update is awful

*2026-05-21, version 11.0.7*

Does not seem to get recognized as an audio player anymore. Plays on top of my music and won’t respect pausing on my AirPods.

Update - not fixed in 11.0.7

### 2/5 — Don’t update to version 10.x!!

*2025-07-21, version 10.0.2*

If you have it updated to version 10.X, don’t! They keep making this app worse. At least two features they’ve taken away in this update are the ability to play at an increased speed, and showing you which podcast segments you have listened to. There used to be a red bar that showed that you’d listen to a segment , and now there’s no way to tell. I wish I could go back to version 9.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-07-11, version 10.0.2*

The app is terrible. There was a Diamondback game last night and they never even posted the score. Plus, they keep the same stories on the app for days sometimes and never update anything. Absolute trash

### 1/5 — Please fix update

*2025-06-26, version 10.0.1*

New update does not load articles.

### 1/5 — The app is frustrating

*2025-03-28, version 9.2.17*

This has not been fixed…I like the shows but the app is so janky…cuts out if I get a phone call and I have to log back on, ssme if I move from WiFi to cell, or if I try to listen to Suns and Diamondbacks. Every time I log back on I hear the same commercials before I get back to the station.  I will NEVER use the plumbing company I have to listen to every time I even LOOK at my phone.  Fix this.  I have no other apps that do this.  Even NPR has a better app.  Why can’t I toggle between games or other apps? Read below to see my previous comments.  Seriously, why can’t this app function smoothly?? I am so angry I can’t flip back and forth between games without hearing the same dumba$$ tell me about their deals?

This one star review is for the app UI only, not the content. I love the shows and the games!

The app functions satisfactorily except for one BIG annoyance: if I get a phone call or go from wifi to cell coverage or if I pause the broadcast or game, or if I try to switch headphones, the app stops functioning and I have to close the app and re-open it, subjecting me to the same [swear word] ads over and over and over….

There is a certain plumbing company and a certain car dealer that I will never do business with.

### 2/5 — Steaming lacking

*2024-12-22, version 9.2.17*

Great on paper, but the radio streaming rarely works to listen to local games which is a main reason I downloaded this app. It worked early on, but hasn’t in a few updates.

### 1/5 — Awful App

*2024-10-22, version 9.2.13*

This app constantly freezes.  I'll be listening to a segment and it will just pause/stop, and I have to relaunch the app.  This also happens on the web, but not as often.  It's frustrating when they're discussing a topic that I'm into, and the app stops right in the middle.  Also, Bickley seems arrogant, and I'm guessing he was been picked on as a child.  The morning show definitely needs less Sarah Kezele, a lot less.  Jarret & Vince are the true talent in the morning.  Go Suns!

### 1/5 — App like the Cardinals

*2024-09-29, version 9.2.13*

This app works 10% of the time on mobile divice. Kinda like Kyler on game day.
