To many commercials and breaks

Love listening to the radio channel and the talk shows but this station has entirely to much breakage. Host will have a good convo and boom break for 20 minutes for repetitive commercials.

Pot ad

I didn’t mind having to see a hospital ad when I opened the app. Now it’s an ad for pot. Goodbye.

SO MANY ADS

I want to know how much money they make off of ads because the amount that are pushed down our throats is ridiculous.

Too many ads

I only used this app for easy access to Dan Zarrow’s weather blog. The ads were just too much. Deleted app and replaced it with a bookmark to the blog instead. The really annoying thing is these ads are for games, which I have no interest in as I do not play games on my phone. The didn’t did not do that before, but it’s now unusable for me.

Difficult to use + All Ads

When you open the app it opens to an ad.

If you wish to stream you have to wait through an ad. When steaming they still play the on-air ads.

If you want to maneuver around the app at all, be ready to sit through an ad.

Developers of this app and the team at Nj 1015 should go to Audacy and see how a radio app can prioritize the user experience and still cater to advertisers.

Too many ads and bugs

The number of ads makes the app almost impassible to open. It can take nearly a full minute just to open. Attempting to skip ahead, whether using the 30-second skip button or dragging the timeline, often causes the app to jump to the next episode instead of moving within the one I’m listening to. These two issues alone make the experience extremely frustrating.

On top of that, ads have now been added to on-demand content. I specifically use on-demand to avoid the commercials in live programming, so having to deal with them here as well is very disappointing.

Overall this app gets a D+

Ads ads ads

I’ll start listening “music” then before I know it I’m hearing ads and I feel like I have to stop the app then start it again to listen to music again, otherwise the Ads don’t stop!

Blink out after start

I have the latest version of iOS on my iPad. I start the app and then it disappears. This has been happing for about a year now. No idea as to why it will not work.

Amazing

Amazing radio I turn my radio every morning 101.5 fm in the morning my way to work and my way home 👏👏👏

Bill in the morning

I miss Bill Spadea he was interesting talked about good subjects

101.5!

Simply The Best!

Commercials

Commercials interrupted by some talk.
So many commercials I switch out between 10 till 10 after the hour and again at 20 after and 20 before the hour. Their weather and traffic is nothing more than a reason to have more commercials
Throughly disappointed in their formats !!!

Ads to listen to the radio with ads?

So I have to watch an unstoppable ad to listen to the radio that spends more time on ads than actual content? I just want the weather.

Stupidity at its highest

It’s getting worse as time goes on. Especially the D&M show it’s hard to listen to it’s so filled with just stupid talk. They had a program about free abortions for Haitians women only not too long ago and it took a while for those idiots to realize it’s discriminatory to single out one type of woman for abortions, for example. The day to day topics are so trivial it’s mind boggling. I listen for the weather mainly but I find myself turning it off because it’s so painfully stupid. No wonder our state votes blue and is out of control with ignorance. Shape up not everyone is stupid as you are. I hate saying it but you idiots forced me to do so.

Right Wing Propaganda

This is another political ad disguised as a news site. Do yourself a favor and get your real news and info elsewhere.

Good

Great show

too much “non news”

although my settings have always only been “NEWS ONLY” this app continues to interrupt and flash pop up on my phone/calls/etc with nonsense that I specially set off ..yesterday I received 8-10 messages across my screen “top ten places to live… to eat… parenting polls… etc…. they clearly give zero facts about what we want as listeners… finally done with them and going to other sources for my “NEWS”!!!

Greatest

Non stop listening!

Nothing but ads

Horrible it’s all ads even if you use their website it’s just as bad

Daily Cash game

The announcers should stop trying to imitate celebrities when giving the numbers it’s confusing and am not impressed with them, it’s really hard to understand exactly what numbers they are saying!
