### 1/5 — Marla

*2019-04-01*

Terrible service.. I can stream other news stations, but not able to stream Talk Radio 1290.  I sent requests for assistance, but to no avail!

### 1/5 — Not working on mobiles

*2018-04-19*

This app will only work on laptop??  It used to work on Mobiles ie ipads but something changed now it will only stay on less than 5 minutes then it cuts out. 

I listen to rush through his special membership app and it works fine but I cannot listen to Hannity on 1290 unless I’m by my laptop.

### 2/5 — If you UPDATE Jan-2023  app stops working.

*2023-01-20*

I'm uninstalling you app after posting this.  If a program leaves users behind then I erase that app because I am DONE WITH YOU.

### 2/5 — Horrible today

*2021-04-28*

Today  (4/28) I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to restart my phone w/ this app running. WTH is up?  It buffers or it totallly takes me out and I have to push the play button again. Seriously?!  Using iPhone 8 Plus

### 2/5 — Shuts off by itself

*2020-09-11*

Just as was reported by an earlier review....2yrs ago....this app still shuts off by itself after listening for about 5 minutes.  So, after 2 years with this issue, it STILL isn’t  fixed.  Oh yes, you can restart it, but who wants to do that every 5 minutes???  Works great....other than that.  I am probably being somewhat generous giving it a 2.  Running iPhone XS Max 64g.

### 4/5 — Love app but

*2019-01-07*

I use it on iPhone but available on Samsung

### 5/5 — Excellent quality

*2018-12-24*

Just d/l app for Rush today, Christmas Eve Day, a special live show he came back for instead of leaving for the holidays due to all the “shutdown the government” news. Listening thru iPhone 7S & AppleTV with Bose Solo TV sound enhancer. All seamlessly great quality! Merry Christmas, everyone!
