Stop working once a week

### 3/5 — Needs a little review

*2024-04-25, version 4.10.17*

I love the app but I do not like that I’m not able to to use other apps while the is playing. Once I go on another app while it is playing it stops working. Not cool

### 3/5 — Good but needs bug fix

*2022-08-10, version 4.10.5*

I love love listening to Fame 95. It keeps me close to home and especially love the retro Sunday’s and Wednesday’s. However too many glitches. The app shuts down and shows”loading” far to many times a day, and this is whether it’s on wifi or a network connection. Please fix the connectivity issues. Thanks

### 3/5 — Obvious issues

*2021-12-10, version 4.9.27*

I love the station. I love how the do’s play but the app tends to buffer a lot and a lot of targeted internet ads seem to slide like every 15 to 20 mins. Somehow. I know the developers have to make money so they have to sell ads but I think it is over-kill. The app needs upgrading.

### 1/5 — False advertising

*2026-03-27, version 4.10.17*

It was advertise that the ISSA boys and girls champs wood be broadcast on this station and not one time did I get to enjoy listening to it the entire week of the broadcast. Big disappointment.

### 1/5 — Not Hearing the music

*2024-10-25, version 4.10.17*

Not hearing when the music plays

### 1/5 — Rename this Fame “Stapp”

*2022-11-11, version 4.10.5*

The app stops once every two minutes or so… annoying!!! FAME has to do a little better about this “stapp”

### 1/5 — Faulty app!

*2020-11-04, version 4.9.17*

App doesn't work most of the time. I left Jamaica over a decade ago and this app is the part of Jamaica that I got to take with me. The odd time that it works, music is fantastic. 7 out of 10 times it doesn't work. Woke up today and was about to vibe out on some retro beats but nothing is working. Get with the times and use a better app platform like other radio stations do.

### 1/5 — App not working

*2012-11-15, version 1.0*

I just download the fame fm app it work for a out an hour after that it wouldn't work. Great music but app no good

### 1/5 — Finally

*2012-10-17, version 1.0*

Works great.

### 2/5 — It was better

*2026-05-16, version 4.10.17*

I love the station but the app stops working unless the app is up and running which makes it impossible to listen long term or multi task

### 2/5 — Times out

*2018-10-22, version 4.5.0*

The music is always blazing, but the app doesn't want you to be great. The music stops very frequently or doesn't even play at all. Please fix asap.

One love
