So convenient - I love being able to listen anywhere. And it doesn't hijack your phone like some streaming apps... You can minimize to use other apps and it keeps playing. ### 5/5 — Away from home *2012-02-06* It's a bit poor without a wifi or 3G connection. But overall, a good way to listen to my favorite morning show after moving away from STL. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App is not working 100% *2018-06-21* I am not sure why the app is not working 100% yet again but it is very frustrating. ### 1/5 — istandwithjamie *2018-04-14* Was a big fan but after forcing Jamie Allman out I’m done! #istandwithjamie ### 1/5 — Sold out *2018-04-11* This station sold out and threw its morning show host under the bus. ### 1/5 — Endless looped commercials *2018-03-20* I’ve nearly reached a point where I refuse to use this app at all. Recently I’ve experienced 20+ minutes and 15+ minutes of continuous looped commercials, as the app doesn’t go back to the radio show. It’s hard not to be cynical about the reasons. ### 2/5 — KK with an app problem *2020-10-31* I absolutely love listening to 97.1 fm Talk and tune quite frequently either on my radio or my phone. However I am rating the app very low because I’m having a very strange problem with the app kicking off every time a Farmers Insurance commercial begins. It’s the darndest thing and I’ve messed with my settings and also deleted and reloaded the app several times. It is still doing shutting the app off every time it comes on, which is quite often! Any suggestions? ### 2/5 — FM News 97.1 *2020-05-11* Commercials run over & over before show starts playing. I end up tapping out. 🙄 ### 2/5 — 97.1 *2017-07-13* As far as the app goes it's really hit or miss if I can get on to the app, I never have a problem with Npr. I can say the same for on the radio, the Npr station always comes in nice and clear, I have problems on all three of 97.1 stations, but no problems with any other stations. ### 3/5 — Reading Fox News radio *2020-01-08* I’ve listened for years Love Marc Cox and Annie but I have to turn it off at 3 o’clock when adults who act like children come on and they have conversations about going to the bathroom and using toilets Way too liberal for me and their conversations do belong in the toilet too bad they have to do a rerun of the show I’m sure there are more talented people out there that would like to do the rerun hours at least trying to be funny is not being disgusting ### 3/5 — Station good, app needs some love *2012-03-16* 97.1. is wonderful. The app they are using to stream, while better, still needs some help. In particular there should be an option to auto connect and start, Multiple button pushes can be a serious problem if, say, you are using this app while driving. ### 4/5 — Very loyal listener! Love 97.1 *2012-08-07* The only reason I gave it 4 is because I listen almost all day every day, and the set of commercials hardly ever change, which really gets to me after so long. Other than that, great app, great station, and I wouldn't listen to any other station all day long! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome love it. *2020-04-01* Absolutely love this app now I can bring 97.1 everywhere I go great source for the truth. No fake news awesome awesome. ### 5/5 — Love 97.1! *2020-02-06* Love 97.1! Although for a while their I thought it was the Charles D’Angelo radio station. 😬 ### 5/5 — Simply The Best! *2019-10-14* I have been listening to FM News Talk 97.1 for several years now. I was the morning “drive time” news host on WCTG AM/FM Radio in Northern New York quite a few years ago (prior to digital, when everything was manual and we used cartridges!). The station mostly served the huge military population at Fort Drum, NY, and we ran a pretty tight schedule; but my AM-drive show was pretty creative, and had a large audience. Having been in radio, and “knowing the drill”, I have to say that I am VERY impressed with the quality of your programming and on-air talent. Your production and marketing teams are truly impressive! And yes, I listen to all your ad traffic. I know that radio stations operate in a continual state of flux; but your operation is professional and as good as it gets. Kudos to your management, production, advertising and on-air staff. Even though you guys don’t do music, you guys (and gals) really do ROCK! Chuck Ruggiero Watertown, New York ### 5/5 — Best station on the radio. Mark Cox and Tim Jones Rock! *2019-01-15* Great personalities on this station! The STL local personalities Dave Glover, Mark Cox, and Tim Jones are the best! ### 5/5 — Great *2017-10-02* It's wonderful & I get clear reception in areas where radio reception has static. I can listen while walking everywhere. ### 5/5 — Carrrlos *2017-09-18* Love it ### 5/5 — Great listening *2017-07-15* Enjoy listening! ### 5/5 — Re-Boots Clear Problems *2017-06-03* Periodically I experience short gaps and even complete failures to play; most days it runs fine. It seems to help when I power off my phone and re-boot. The gaps and delays disappear for awhile. ### 5/5 — Works well & great if you live out of town! *2017-02-27* I was born & raised in St. Louis and 97.1 was my favorite station for many years before we moved out of town. The app always works well, I've never had any problems. It's AWESOME to be able to listen to something from home while living in New England! ### 5/5 — Hope Online *2012-03-20* 97.1 gives me a lot of hope. I love to listen when designing in my office. This app fixed a problem we had because my basement effects the fm tuning on my radio. Thanks Mr. Beck and all the outstanding hosts for saying the hard stuff that must be said to steer our nation toward Constitutional government again. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
