Can’t download?

Site is badly managed …wouldn’t let me reset password…can’t download…rubbish

Full of Ads

I don’t mind ads but far too many to make this app usable. Long run of ads before you even begin listening to live radio. Unlistenable. Would prefer freemium options.

Won’t download.

Poorly managed.
