Horrible -deleted it

Downloaded it, tried to listen five separate times but each time ads come up on screen that you cannot x out of — there was no way to get them off the screen and the app would not play. ridiculous

Unreliable

The app is frustrating. At least once a week I have to delete and re-download it for not opening

Really bad

Old version was clunky but at least it worked most of the time.

New version is absolute TRASH. The stream stops after 10 minutes. Tried deleting and reinstalling, phone restarted - nothing helps.

All Needs an Update

Can’t even listen as it stays in buffering mode. When video commercial plays, you click on “X” to close but it opens the link to the commercial anyway. If you can actually get to listen to a show, a commercial will randomly come on during the middle of the host talking. I’m stopping listening because of these issues and until the app is fixed.

Unstable

The stream cuts out and buffers constantly. Very frustrating. Needed to find other content to stream. Rubbish!

Station is great. App is super buggy

Pop up ads on top of pop up ads. Spammy ads that try and trick users into clicking instead of closing. Little regard for usability especially if someone is driving. Don’t drive and use this app. It requires your undivided attention to navigate this mess. Audio problems where it’s playing ads and show at the same time. Podcast titles are out of sync with what is playing. The list goes on. There seems to be very little QA going on.

Unsafe ads

The pre-roll ads now sport close buttons that can appear anywhere on the screen and in different shapes and styles. One recent one had a very tiny X button in the corner. I use the app when driving, so hunting for close buttons that are in unknown places and look different each time, is an unsafe distraction while driving. The tiny buttons are even worse: I don’t wear my reading glasses while driving, so finding the tiny buttons is a pain. Add to that the ease of slightly missing the tiny button, which means opening an ad in my browser, closing that, switching back, only to repeat, is frustrating besides.

Starting the app before driving can help, but the app also gets stuck at times when I lose signal. After my signal returns, the app often gets stuck buffering. The only fix in such cases is to restart the app, which means dealing with the dangerous ads again.

The station is great/app not so much

I remove my wired ear pods from my iPad and I have to listen to more commercials, the app buffers and I have to listen to more commercials…..Very frustrated

Amazing Station

This App & radio station is very informative. The hosts are really like able regular people. They don't push their own personal ideology fears & ideals of climate change, fossil fuels, President Trump, school learning initiatives etc... on the listener like the other stations I listen to do when I have them on in the car.

Yup, broken

Please fix -- don't you want listeners?

Don't take over my ipad

Stop forcing my iPad to the App Store to download apps for your advertisers.

Not working

Doesn't work

Works Great!

App is updated, works on my iPhone 4 with OS 5.01 through WIFI and Verizon 3G network. No more problems, plus it allows you to run the audio through Safari so you can let it run in the background without losing the stream.

Needs an update

Was using it all the time, with iOS 5 it doesn't work anymore.

Good

Works well. Ty
