Also, more ads than even on the radio ! Very irritating! ### 2/5 — Terrible *2022-08-30, version 8.0.0* Constantly glitching and constantly playing ads once you reboot the app to work properly. Same annoying ads over and over, cuts off programming early quite often. ### 2/5 — Those stupid commercials *2019-08-04, version 6.8.0* Why didn’t you offer a premium upgrade to eliminate those annoying commercials? This app is terrible. ### 3/5 — Gonna kill me *2017-05-17, version 5.1.60* The app is great and KSFO is the best but shoving that extra two-bit pop-up ad in my face before the app starts is a dangerous distraction while driving. Make your money off the radio commercials not the pop-ups. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2017-03-02, version 5.1.36* Update: 3-2-17 Uninstalling lost a listener wont run in the background. Sorry Michael Savage was good while it lasted Waited patiently for long time for them to get better and low a behold nothing. Continues stalling, disconnects and it its not my wifi I have high end service, disconnects and reconnects only to have to listen to commercials over again before listening to the radio station as if im newly logging in. please get this apps act together. I'll tell you one thing advertisers on the show losing out and loosing money because I'm just turning off the app and not listening altogether. Im inches from uninstalling it 🙄 ### 1/5 — Worst App Imaginable *2016-12-28, version 5.1.36* This app is one of the cheapest and easily laziest designed apps that I have ever used. It routinely will stop playing your radio show and buffer for no apparent reason and display shameless ads for you to have to bear with. Not to mention that there is a common bug in the app never addressed by the developers that means you can have ads played perpetually while you wait for your show to return from break. I have waited for 25 minutes before waiting until realizing there was a bug in the app and missing a substantial amount of my show all because of the shameful disregard by the app makers for their users. It would be best to stick to the iHeartRadio app as at least they pretend to care about their service quality. ### 1/5 — Do you love adds? *2016-09-21, version 5.1.21* Well this app is for you, because all you will be hearing is add after add after add and maybe 5%of the show. Wish they could fix it.. ### 1/5 — Please fix the app! *2016-08-10, version 5.1.21* I understand that money is made off of the ads but there are non-stop ads that play over the show for long periods of time. Please, please, please fix the app. ### 1/5 — airkast is garbage 👎🏽👎🏽 *2016-06-02, version 5.1.21* got so sick and fed up with this app freezing, pausing, cutting out and just not working in general I just deleted it. i've heard the iHeartRadio app also has KSFO content, i'll try my luck there. ### 2/5 — Crashes for me after a few minutes *2016-03-15, version 5.1.0* App opens, plays a 30 second advertisement and then after a few minutes it pauses. I look at my phone and the app has crashed. I have to reopen and listen to ad again. Repeat etc. ### 1/5 — Savage Nation *2016-02-15, version 5.0.9* Constant audio buffering problems. This app never works. I have to use a computer. ### 2/5 — I would gladly pay if there were no commercials! *2016-01-13, version 5.0.9* I hate the stupid commercials this app makes you wait through after it stops working. :-/ ### 1/5 — Last update:/// *2015-07-30, version 5.0.5* App is horrible to load. Need to open it numerous times and usually give up trying before it finally loads. I'm going to look for The Savage Nation on another station ### 3/5 — Ok app *2015-06-03, version 5.0.1* Cut out the commercials!!! I'd be better off just getting an AM/FM radio listening to my favorite talkshow that way!!! It's very annoying when I'm listening to the radio and in the middle of a interview or whatever it is cut off by a commercial that's played over and over again!!!! Cut the commercials to normal like as if you were listening to it on the regular radio, and I would give this app five stars!!!!! ### 1/5 — PSA Loop *2015-03-25, version 5.0.0* Tried to listen this morning (3/25/15), and all I got was 45-minutes of the same PSAs and one or two regular commercials. There was no station content, just the same PSAs over-and-over. This is one heck of a way to kill your numbers! ### 1/5 — Ad-crazy - removing it now *2015-02-08, version 3.4.0* Want to use your smartphone to listen to nonstop ads instead of hearing the desired programming per their radio schedule shown on the app? This is the app for you! ### 1/5 — Year-old ssues haven't been addressed *2014-01-03, version 3.3.1* I want to rate this app higher. It has potential. I'll even forgive the commercial I'm forced to watch before using it. Why it get's one star: it times out constantly. Then, when I don't want it open anymore, I can't turn it off ad it runs down my battery. I looked at other reviews. Since you don't care to fix this after a year...I'll find something else to listen to. ### 1/5 — Don't bother *2013-08-28, version 3.2.5* I cannot believe they can't make this a great app. When you open it, it goes to a long video game commercial. Then you have to hit the X to shut it off. Once the radio comes on it cuts out every minute. So annoying. ### 1/5 — DOES NOT WORK *2013-05-14, version 3.1.1* I used to listen to my favorite KSFO shows with this app, but it fails to work now at all. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-03-30, version 9.1.2* Stops working constantly, replays things it just played. Ads over ads. Pause it? More ads like you just launched the app. Uninstalled it a few months ago, reinstalled today. Gave up after 10mins of frustration. Uninstalled for the last time. How can anything work this bad in 2026?! ### 1/5 — This app is pure garbage. *2026-03-06, version 9.1.2* Did I mention its garbage? ### 1/5 — Stops playing intermittently *2022-11-03, version 8.1.5* App stops at random times forcing you to press play to restart broadcast. Every time you press play again you have to listen to another round of annoying commercials. Happens every couple of minutes ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2022-07-25, version 8.0.0* I like listening to dan Bongino show but it is worthless with this app I spend more time listening to dead air and it just cuts out all the time. It is the Cumulus it does the same on WLS. I give up with this I listen to another conservative voice. ### 1/5 — App will NOT OPEN on my iPhone 7 v13.4.1 *2020-05-18, version 6.12.0* Phone upgraded last night. Today attempted to listen to the Armstrong & Getty show Clicked on the app to listen, the lending tree ad comes up and I see NO WAY to CLOSE IT. Which means I can NOT listen to the show. ### 1/5 — A worthless waste of time *2019-12-05, version 6.8.0* Love the station and the broadcasters. Despise this miserable app. As a 40 year computer software professional, I have never seen such a pathetic attempt to podcast live broadcast. I will stuck with my pocket am fm radio. It is reliable and is not at the mercy of someone claiming to be a computer professional. I will not waste my time pointing out the issues,,,you know what they are,,particularly the obnoxious ads seeking to burden you with more junk ### 1/5 — New insanely loud, long, and obnoxious ads at open *2019-09-13, version 6.8.0* I’ve had this app for a long time but recently they added the most ridiculous ads for games at the open of the app that last for over a minute and blast obnoxious tones the whole time. Deleted the app today. ### 1/5 — App reception blows *2019-07-30, version 6.8.0* This is the worst live talk show app I have on my phone. Always, every day, app goes silent and when I click on the app it resets. Worst app on my phone, literally. I think I’m gonna look for alternative listening methods for the talk show hosts I got this app for. ### 1/5 — Must log in *2018-12-11, version 6.8.0* Account and password required now every time you come and go , plus the same repetitive highly annoying commercials drove me to uninstalll the app and go back to radio, like it should be ### 1/5 — Have to log in every time feed is stopped *2018-11-29, version 6.8.0* The latest update no longer keeps you logged in even when the keep logged in box is checked. Previously, just switching back to the app resulted in the stream restarting without issue. This is problematic because of how iOS handles audio streams. You can't have more than one audio feed at a time. For example, if you try to play a video, it stops the app audio stream. To restart the live radio feed, you have to log in again. Highly inconvenient! I listen on an iPad Pro while visiting my favorites news and social media sites which frequently have media to play. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Feedback *2014-03-14, version 3.3.1* I was impressed that the developer was really engaged and willing to assist the user. I like KSFO-AM 560 and the experience will be getting better, especially regarding the network. Thank you ### 5/5 — Thank You KSFO-560AM *2012-11-03, version 3.0.3* Thank you for broadcasting "The Savage Nation". I will show my support by purchasing products from your advertisers. I also appreciate the upgrades you have made to your app. It is a lot more stable since I have downloaded the new version. ### 5/5 — Great app *2010-03-05, version 0* Excellent!!!! ### 5/5 — Love it! Thank you KSFO *2010-02-02, version 0* I love having podcasts readily at my fingertips. Having to work long hours without being able to listen to music or radio at work, This app is my mobile lifeline during lunch or at home or while commuting. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Thank You, KSFO!!! *2010-01-18, version 0* I've been waiting for this app ever since I bought my iPhone! Now I can listen to Lee, OV, Rush, Sean, Mark, Suss, and the rest of the gang wherever I go!! Sounds beautiful! The app itself has room for improvement, and lots of potential, but otherwise it works perfectly. Great start. THANKS SO MUCH!!! ### 5/5 — Love this app *2010-01-16, version 0* This is the first review I've written. This app is a winner.  Simple. Works perfectly. Sounds great. I love that it will stream in the background so I can listen while using other apps (like writing this review). This is my new favorite app.  ### 5/5 — *THE* radio station *2010-01-09, version 0* Wherever I go in this world... Sussman & Rogers go with me. This beats all radio stations...hands- down! ### 5/5 — Love KSFO!!!!! *2010-01-01, version 0* Love the station and love the app! I have the radio on at home 24/7. Now I can tune out Bay Area libs with my iPhone a pair of headphones and KSFO app! Thank guys! Great job. ### 4/5 — Finally !!!!! *2009-12-24* I've been waiting for thin since the iPhone came out! It could be tweaked to make it more interactive with the entire phone but I am happy it is here! ### 4/5 — Finally *2009-12-18* Great start. Would be nice to be able to have in portrait mode rather than landscape and make access to the menus more obvious. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
