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

Awful

Worst app ever created.

Delay!!!!

Three to four pitches behind on LIVE Cubs games. No excuses.

Needs accessibility improvements for voiceover users, and needs a fix for an ongoing playback issue

I love the Audacy app. While it is not perfect as far as accessibility is concerned and could use some updates in that field for us blind users, using voiceover, overall, I’m able to use the app. Other than accessibility improvements, the only thing that I would like to see fixed, which when it is I’ll go back and give this app a five star rating, is this ongoing playback issue I’ve had with rewind since September of last year. Whenever I start to play a segment, with any rewind enabled station, it does not start the playback from the beginning. The content is not missing, it is there. To get to it however, you have to hit the rewind 15 seconds button, and then it will go back to the beginning. But the playback, for some reason, does not start from that point, as it should, and this has been going on for quite some time. It was either introduced in version 2025.8.27, or 2025.9.0, and remains an issue as of this review.

Same ADs on Repeat

They can’t seem to fix the glitch of playing the same AD multiple times on repeat.

Says I’m “offline, check your connection” even though I have full bars of service/and or on WiFi

Every time I try to use the app 90% of the time I’m presented with an error message that says I’m “offline, check your connection”. I’ve used this app for years listening to sports talk to and from work. Now the past month or two it has this issue almost every time I try and use the app.

I hate this app so much

This app has always been buggy but it is now just absolutely atrocious. I cannot listen to anything in my car anymore. All the app does is jump around inside of whatever podcast or show I’m listening to. Every time I get out of the car and get back in and restart it starts the whole show over. Fix your app, this is garbage.

Long time user

I have been a daily user listening to two sports talk shows for up to 30 minutes at lunchtime. For the last month every time I tune in to listen I either am directed to commercials or quickly switched over if I happen to go live. I understand the need to run commercials but after 2-5 minutes of straight commercials I shut it down. I find the app unusable and have moved on

Constant pausing or no audio

I honestly hate this app but I use it cause it’s convenient to just start listing to the news. You can’t multi task like surf the web otherwise the audio cuts out then you have pause and play and hope it starts the audio again. Other times it just cuts out and when you try to pause and play it again it just doesn’t do anything. This doesn’t happen on other music/podcast apps.

Fix it!

Keeps rewinding into a previous show with no way to resume what I was actually listening to

Awful

I live in Ct. Audacy app can’t get me Mets games. Not worth the time, even for free

Terrible app

For an audioplay back app it sucks at playing back audio. You’d think holding the spot you pause a show in wouldn’t be that complicated but the people at Audacy can’t seem to figure it out

Skipping and Rewinding!

Please fix the glitching! It is maddening!

Stopped working after 1 day

Junk

Excessive commercials

Good app but the commercials are excessive and repetitive sometimes in the same break. Makes in unlistenable.

Barely works

Constant issues on playback. Pausing causes the time to jump chapters. The UI is absolute garbage. Humans use the app, not robots. A Resume Playback button should be more than 3 pixels.
