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. ### 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 — Frustrating App Experience *2024-06-04, version 9.2.11* AZ Sports content and shows are great. It deserves quality functional app. Audio streaming stops frequently and the only way to bring it back is restart the app. Sometimes the app just stop functioning. ### 1/5 — The app is frustrating *2024-05-10* 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. **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback, Barry. We are investigating. -The App Development Team ### 4/5 — Overall good *2024-02-06, version 9.2.1* Only gripe is when you watch the video feed of the shows like Burns and Gambo it doesn’t allow you to play the audio into your AirPods. It just plays from the phone’s speakers. Odd. Hoping it can be resolved. ### 1/5 — Podcasts gone *2023-12-21, version 9.2.1* Disappointed that the Bickley and Marotta podcast are now limited to only the prior day. Really would like the ability to binge / selectively listen a few weeks like it used to be. ### 1/5 — Sigh *2023-10-30, version 9.2.1* I live in Seattle and can’t hear the games. ### 3/5 — I guess *2023-09-18, version 9.1.2* I guess this works for some people but I wanted it to listen to the d-backs game while at the game to get the play by play radio feed. Problem is that it’s a 3-4 pitch delay. Things have come and gone before it comes in the radio. The hen I’ll just turn the car radio to the post game show for the drive home. Just doesn’t work for what I needed. ### 1/5 — Horrible App *2023-08-29, version 9.1.2* I am unable to listen to the live shows, when I click on the live show, the loading screen with the spinning icon stay on the screen infinitely. I’ve turned off my phone and turned it back on, I deleted the app and reinstalled it… nothing works. In the past when the app actually did work for me, my phone would heat up while using it and it would drain my battery. Terrible app ### 1/5 — Player just has spinning wheel *2023-08-29, version 9.1.2* I listened to the app this morning for an hour than it stopped playing so I tried starting it again and it just started spinning and it just spins and won’t play the radio. My ktar news app somehow works just fine and I don’t know what’s wrong, these apps are so terrible ### 1/5 — Streaming is glitchy *2023-08-29, version 9.1.2* Constantly drops out and comes back usually a few seconds but sometimes minutes later. Some days like NFL cut day the stream just completely goes out. Shows are great but the app and streaming quality are as bad as the Cardinals …… ### 1/5 — This app is beyond horrible *2023-07-25, version 9.1.2* Drains your battery, won’t let you listen to local games even if YOU LIVE IN PHOENIX, overheats your phone, and will constantly crash causing you to have to rewatch the same ad 8700 times. I hate this app with a passion ### 1/5 — Can’t listen to games *2023-06-13, version 9.1.2* I don’t know why I can’t listen to the games on this app, I’ve enabled location services but I get the same msg over and over. The station doesn’t come in in flagstaff and the app won’t let me listen to the dbags games, either. The app does a good job of overheating my phone and draining the battery though 👍🏻 ### 1/5 — Register for what? *2023-05-14, version 9.1.1* Never used the app to listen to anything. More concerned about news. Now they want you to register. For what exactly? Was a great app to follow the Arizona sports teams. Will be deleting. ### 1/5 — Registration required- No Thanks *2023-05-10, version 9.1.1* Bad bad bad business move , making registration a requirement to use app. See ya later AZ sports ### 1/5 — Deleted *2023-05-10, version 9.1.1* Registration required now? Sign up via email? FM radio hanging by a thread as it is, and now you’re going to lose a few more listeners with this. There are too many ways to get sports media content now to deal with my information being sold and my email being spammed. Thanks 98.7! Sad day. It was fun while it lasted. Deleted the app. ### 1/5 — Give me a good reason to register *2023-05-08, version 9.1.1* Just like your radio step-brother KTAR, take your registration and shove it. The app was mediocre at best before, but a registration requirement guarantees that it is getting deleted. ### 1/5 — Not a fan of the required sign up *2023-05-08, version 9.1.1* Last update kills the app for me. Two thumbs down for requiring sign up. You just lost another user. ### 1/5 — Unable to use. *2023-05-06, version 9.1.1* The last update requires a “free” sign up. Except the can sell your data. Why else require it. I understand the need for advertising in the articles but the is a step too far. I just want sports news but not willing to sign up in to do so. When you change this I will be back. Until then 1 star. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t play Dbacks games *2024-09-24, version 9.2.13* App stopped working on Dbacks and cards games All the other programs work. ### 1/5 — Bad app up and down. *2024-06-11, version 9.2.13* Constantly going off line you have to shut it down and then restart it When it works it’s good but not often. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good stuff *2023-05-17, version 9.1.1* I love the new layout how u have it seprated by sports team now so awesome ### 5/5 — Glitches *2022-04-27, version 8.3.1* I love this app a lot. It provides a top-quality sports analysis of Arizona and other teams. Lately, there have been some glitches, like commercials are much louder than the actual programs and contend loading errors. I hope they will fix them soon. ### 5/5 — Ads *2021-03-09* I listen to AZ Sports everyday on the app. I don’t like how you again have to watch a video when logging in to the app or when losing streaming and need to restart. You miss 15 seconds of the interview or story and already listen to all the commercials played while listening live. ### 5/5 — Bennie 66 *2020-02-26, version 8.1.2* This app is a very awesome app I like the clear Morado and burns and gamble and Douge and wife and talk about things I need to hear about and I appreciate them ### 5/5 — Streaming *2019-07-23, version 8.1.2* I do a lot of driving up north so I steam all of your shows love them I wish the streaming was better ### 5/5 — Pretty good app *2019-07-21, version 8.1.2* The most reliable way, on you phone, to listen to AZ sports. You don’t need headphones for signal. ### 5/5 — Entertaining Sports Radio *2019-04-07* Love listening to Doug and Wolf and Paul podcasts almost makes work bearable. Got me hooked on all things sport in Phoenix from Brisbane, very entertaining. ### 5/5 — The Best *2019-02-05, version 8.1.2* This is the Best Arizona sports radio! Always entertaining and interesting shows! ### 5/5 — Jon S *2019-02-05, version 8.1.2* Love the local sports coverage. Thanks for being a great distraction from work. Terrific interviews that keep me updated with Az teams. ### 5/5 — Thanks AZ sports *2019-02-04, version 8.1.2* Best shows from morning until evening!
