Tooooooooo many commercials

I hear more commercials than music

Connectivity

Rarely stays connected

Truly awful

Only use this app because I have to and I can’t express how truly horrific it is. Never loads the way it’s supposed to and never keeps where you are when listening to it.

Too Many Commercials

This app inserts way too many commercials compares to the actual radio broadcast. This should be considered an app to hear commercials with a sprinkling of music in between more commercials.

Turn it off, CB

Constant bugs

When it works, I appreciate hearing my show—being able to rewind and forward especially. Problem is approximately half the time there are bugs. Developers-please fix the issue I pause my listening for any reason-I pause, or get a call, etc (I have an iPhone latest update) it goes back to a different show and I lose my place, need to go find the show I was listening to, try to figure out where I was and forward (which sometimes doesn’t work, just starts at the beginning over and over) until I find my place all over again. So frustrating (my husband has the same issues—so I know it isn’t just my phone.) Please can you all somehow get ahead of this? Recognize there are software updates with Apple, but this is so often it is crazy annoying. Thank you. If this changes meaningfully, be happy to update my review.

AD, AD, AD

Excessive and repetitive ads.

Hop, Skip, and Jump Away

This app is absolutely horrible! I listened to it every day for the past two years just for WFAN, New York, and I am not going to use this anymore after today until this app gets fixed. It HOPS from segment to segment, it SKIPS through entirely different show, and if it doesn’t get fixed soon I’m going to JUMP ship.

Outdated

Navigation is terrible. Interface is terrible. The app doesn’t keep your spot. If you close it out it’ll restart the whole show or whatever you’re watching.

Update sucks

This app sucks now. Shows constantly skip ahead or go back to a show I was never listening to if paused. This app used to be pretty good, now it flat out sucks

Amazing

Love I can listen to WAAF still, but I wish it showed the song and artist!

Terrible

This app is so bad. Even after an update it still reverts back to a show I was never listening to after I pause what I was listening to for 5 minutes. Get it together audacy. Absolute garbage

Broken.

I’m not listening to this until y’all fix it.

Crashes, jumps all over the place in time in the stream without reason.

So aggravating. Stopped using it years ago because of these issues Just tried it out again for a week and I want to pull my hair out and scream.

Not a fan

Update: somehow this app has gotten worse over the years. It will randomly switch programs on me when I unpause, it won’t let me fast forward without completely changing the segment on, as well as a bunch of other issues. Terrible app and I’m going to find a different solution to take its place.


Downloaded the app and made an account. Next time I went to use it, it didn’t register my account so I had to remake it. Go to use it again and I can’t get it to sign me in unless I use Facebook, which I don’t have. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app, still can’t get the submit button to work so I can listen. Super annoying so I’m deleting and finding something else.

Update sucks

Last update has ruined everything about this app. Does not remember your place when listening to a stream. Will not resume after playing audio or video in another app. Simple things that should work functionally on any basic app.

Disconnects

What is the deal with the disconnects? I will have 3-4 bars of cell reception yet playback will randomly stop. From there it may or may not auto-reconnect and if it doesn't I have to close the app. Then I have to sit through an ad. Sometimes this happens 2-3 times in a row, play, disconnect, close app, restart playback, ad, disconnect, close app, restart playback, ad. When it finally stabilizes for a time it will skip to live after it continued for 20-30 seconds where it cut out. This has been an issue for over a year since I downloaded the app

So Sick of Audacy’s Nonsense

I’m outting myself as a conservative up front so that all the “tolerant” left can stop reading and not be subjected to an opinion that’s different than their own.
I can’t count the number of times I’ve tried to open one of the shows and/or podcasts I listen to only not be able to find it. This includes podcasts that I’m
subscribed to. I can type in the exact name of the show or station and I still have to scroll through a seemingly endless list of stations or shows with similar — and sometimes, not so similar — names or call numbers. Several times, podcasts were unavailable to me through your platform on the day of their release. In the next day or two, I find out that there was indeed a podcast posted but it was unavailable to listeners. Given the mostly glowing reviews I read of your app, I don’t think it’s a situation that most listeners experience. The hosts of these podcasts often mention after the fact that for some unknown reason or glitch, a show wasn’t posted. I’d like to think that it happens to shows and stations that are left-leaning but it’s too common an occurrence to believe that.

Streaming restarts after pausing broadcast

Been having an issue lately where the radio station I'm streaming will restart from the beginning if I've stopped listening for a few minutes. Sometimes, it'll start the previous show on the schedule when I'm trying to pick up where I left off. For example, I'm listening to WIP at 7 am and starting with the beginning of the stream at 5:57 am, if I've stopped listening for awhile, it may jump all the way back to the 4:30 am broadcast when I return.

App is awful

Gotta love when you click on a segment and it plays a different one. Or when it keeps playing the intro even though you keep hitting skip
