The morning crew have become a give away crew with very little original content. I have reverted to KFM and podcasts. Some of the broadcasters are now American Whanabees. WHO cares about Taylor Swift ? Do they honestly think she will get married in KZN? The sports report used to have some Insight ! Now it’s just a score machine. Pity ### 3/5 — App is fine, buffering is hit&miss *2025-04-27, version 1.13.3* No problems with the app itself however the buffering is very sensitive and takes ages to play, can’t get it to work on alarm apps, if I connect to my speaker I generally have to restart it. Wish it could be a bit more reliable I love listening to it! ### 4/5 — Nostalgia *2024-12-06, version 1.13.3* Pro - I’m listening to East Coast Radio from London! The stream is clear, music is great, app is great. Thanks for bringing ECR to the world!! Cons - the ‘now playing’ reflects the incorrect title whilst the song plays. ### 2/5 — Playing app on mobile devices *2024-07-30, version 1.13.3* Enjoy the show and availability, but there are simply too many advert interruptions. I get when you first connect, sure play an ad, but then every time you take a call , reviews a message or check on something on Google for example, the reconnecting starts the advert all over again. Which is quite annoying. Just too much to allow one to have it on in background, and do your normal day to day things while listening. Adverts waaaaaay to many times ### 2/5 — Sleep timer needed *2023-01-22, version 1.13.3* Requires a sleep timer like other radio apps ### 4/5 — East Coast Gold *2022-07-02, version 1.13.3* Beautiful to hear old songs-thank you! ### 4/5 — Doesn’t work in all circumstances *2022-06-18, version 1.13.3* I have a Toyota Fortuner 2018 model and stream in my car. I have to connect via the internet get ECG. The app won’t connect through Bluetooth or cable from the app. I have no problem with any other station I stream. I like to see from the app screen what’s playing and the artist. I have eclectic taste and stream country music stations and serious music like Classic FM from the UK ### 4/5 — Adds *2022-02-06, version 1.13.3* The App is great except for the fact that every time it looses connection for whatever reason it returns with adverts, sometimes I listen to more adds than music ### 5/5 — Still the best *2021-09-25, version 1.13.0* Can’t ever get enough of ECR especially when I am not in SA ### 5/5 — Poppo *2021-07-14, version 1.12.6* Fabulous ### 5/5 — Brenda Anne Radford *2021-07-03, version 1.12.6* Great music … MUCH appreciated by us oldies! SO happy to hear Guy McDonald back on the airwaves! The beat goes on! ### 4/5 — News volume *2021-05-14, version 1.12.6* I listen to East Coast Gold regularly and it’s such a pleasure. The only thing is that the hourly News is at a different volume and sometimes difficult to hear. ### 5/5 — scottish saltire 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 *2021-04-05, version 1.12.6* hey guys loving listening to your music station from edinburgh scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 pure class guys 🕺🏿 well done ### 5/5 — Review *2021-02-03, version 1.12.6* It doesn’t matter when I switch on the radio you folks are all ways to cheer us up Thanks John ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Issues *2023-12-27, version 1.13.3* Battles to load the 'double arrow' page to access traffics reports. Lately had issues where it only played the latest news report even when clicked on the traffic announcements. Takes a while before the latest traffic report is loaded. ### 1/5 — Slow updating *2023-04-06, version 1.13.3* Updates uploaded very slowly and sporadically. Traffic report over an hour without any updates. Shoddy ### 1/5 — Terrible *2022-10-04, version 1.13.3* Possible one of the worst apps I have ever had the misfortune of downloading…. A scratched cd skips less then this app! Why can you not just push play and listen to the radio… I must rather sit there and listen to broken speech every 20 seconds… and no it’s not my internet connection. ### 1/5 — App closes after attempt to open *2021-11-20, version 1.13.3* Re-installed, switched device off etc but the App is unresponsive. Device used -Apple update 12.5.5 iPhone6 ### 1/5 — Crashes all the time *2021-07-13, version 1.12.6* This app crashes all the time and when it doesn’t, it freezes. Definitely needs a lot of attention before getting anything more than one star. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2020-10-05, version 1.12.4* Plays the same audio for a feed seconds and stops ### 1/5 — Features! *2019-10-22, version 1.10.9* I cannot find traffic updates and the news is not current ### 1/5 — Glitchy *2018-08-22, version 1.10.4* App is super glitchy. Can’t check traffic as it decides where and when I can access it. Frustrating ### 1/5 — Having problems after its version change *2017-10-13, version 1.9.6* Below commented before its version up. With recent version up, still stopping every 10 sec for buffering data. No good. ### 2/5 — App could be great *2025-10-15, version 1.13.3* Some days it works fine but sometimes, in fact a lot of times it stops working without warning. You restart it and the app plays for a short while and it stops again. Always have your radio close by because this app is not reliable. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Connect *2025-10-22, version 1.13.3* Quick connect and good quality ### 5/5 — Shireen *2023-12-06, version 1.13.3* Super fantastic, only listen to EC Gold ### 5/5 — User friendly *2023-03-24, version 1.13.3* Clean and easy to use ### 5/5 — Great daily partner! *2023-01-12, version 1.13.3* Good music and ancillary services for those at home or on a drive ! ### 5/5 — Styles in the morning *2022-07-24, version 1.13.3* Awesome, Just love his time on air.
