### 1/5 — Shuts off every few minutes

*2026-04-22, version 9.1.3*

Terrible ap shuts off every few minutes, then I need to re-open and listen to several minutes of ads again. Rinse, repeat.

### 1/5 — Beyond sketchy

*2025-01-31, version 9.0.0*

This is the worst media app I have downloaded Don’t waste your time unless you love seeing the same ad over and over and over and over… You get the idea again

### 1/5 — Credit card required

*2023-12-08, version 9.0.0*

I can’t get past the page that requires a credit card.  Zero stars.

### 1/5 — Volume

*2023-10-10, version 9.0.0*

Volume on podcast too low.

### 1/5 — Messed up

*2023-10-05, version 9.0.0*

Too many adds and too many commercials iHeart much better. Sorry John and Randy..

### 1/5 — Don’t download

*2023-10-05, version 9.0.0*

Keeps prompting me to give my credit card number.  The pop ups are terrible and when you finally get to listen, they cut ads in the middle of monologues.  What a way to let your great hosts down.

### 1/5 — 20 minutes of commercials

*2022-09-28, version 8.1.5*

Every morning I get 20 minutes of commercials before my program streams. It’s awful and I give up and switch to KFI.

### 1/5 — Single worst app ever!!!!!

*2020-08-31, version 6.16.0*

Not even worth writing a review: EXCEPT FOR THE BEST HOSTS on the air.  If the app was .00000000% as good as the host this would have been worth the time.  Tells me the station owners do not care about WWW just Radio, SO SAD.....

### 1/5 — Stupid

*2020-08-13, version 6.16.0*

It’s a little difficult to review the privacy policy when the app won’t show it and refuses to activate without you reading it. Great job in making the app completely useless!
