### 5/5 — Great app .... but

*2016-10-05*

This is a great app for the most part ...I love the music and programming that is played. The only issue is almost monthly the app goes dead and I have to delete and download again to get streaming to work.  One other issue is the volume level does not go high enough if I am in office working it is ok but if I go for a walk the road noise from vehicles tends to drown out music please add a volume boost or raise base setting.  I can see that live 88.5 did not create the app so it is the app maintainer that needs to fix these issues LIVE88.5 KEEP ROCKING ON!!!

### 1/5 — Doesn't stream anymore

*2016-08-11*

Nothing happens when hitting play. Been broken for months.

### 5/5 — Well made

*2015-05-27*

Easy to use and light-weight. Plays in the background!

### 5/5 — Best station around

*2015-03-20*

Please find a way to broadcast to the valley. We're dying for good radio out here!
