### 2/5 — Buffering

*2024-11-17*

App has too much buffering . Have to delete and reload. Don’t have that problem with any other apps. Frustrating . Use this app a lot.

### 1/5 — Ads ads ads.

*2024-06-11*

Too many ads.

### 4/5 — Pratt

*2022-06-27*

Robert has become a good friend of mine since his program began. I enjoy his views as they are well- researched and informative. As a Democrat your are several decades too late to be relevant in this area. You need to find a Liberal talk show on Dallas or Houston or Albuquerque if there are any there.

### 5/5 — Very Satisfied

*2021-01-19*

New York owned station after recent events “for business purposes” deleted app and will not return.

### 5/5 — KFYO

*2020-08-05*

Even though I’m a Democrat live their news flashes. Would listen more if Pratt wasn’t in there he drives me nuts.  Can’t believe there are still folks voting for Trump
