Why cant i open christmas mysic

2 stars because it does what I need

When searching under the “favorites” tab, no results populate. No noticeable option to “favorite” a station.
Ads play at the most inconvenient time.
When the app is opened, I want to see my favorites, a search bar and “browse” or “near me”.
Currently the app seems too complicated when it really only serves a few purposes.

Worst app ever

Always drops. Never works when you really too. I want to listen to the show before the adds start coming.

New update is ROTTEN

I don’t mind the ads-I understand that’s how free radio works. But this new update is HORRIBLE. The app used to open and, if you had a station “favorited” would immediately begin to play. Might be on air, might be on a commercial, but would go to whatever station you listened to. Which is what listening to the radio is supposed to be about.
But now, the app loads and just goes to a paid commercial and a loading screen, even if you have a station favorited. I don’t want to stare at a loading screen, I want to LISTEN TO THE RADIO. I can find a different app that actually PLAYS THE RADIO.

It's not bad but should be more

This app is better than single station apps that are little more than a tuner. It is, however, pretty much just a tuner with multiple stations. It doesn’t offer Waze or Apple Music integration. There’s no larger view for use while driving. You can’t store your presets across devices. Unlike it's competitors, it’s not a cross-platform portal. There's no Alexa app, no Roku version, nor is there even a web-browser version for your PC. It's an iOS and an Android app, and that’s about it. Townsquare should either make it function like it’s competitors or join one (or all) of them!

Don’t bother... stopped working w ios13

Used to be one of my favorite apps, but I’ve been waiting months for them to update since it became non-functional after ios13. Then sent an email to inquire if there was a plan to update and got no reply so it’s time to delete ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Why landscape mode

I don’t understand why you force landscape mode on iPad users. This is the most infuriating unchangeable setting.

Used to work

I can’t select any of the menu options except new stations. I just set up my iPhone 11 with iOS 13. Loved the app before, but it doesn’t work now.

iOS 13 update

I’ve used this app for a few years now, but since the ios13 update, the app crashes and when I DO get it to open, most of the buttons/icons are missing. PLEASE FIX THIS! This app should’ve been ready for the update.

Doesn’t work

I just got the iPhone 11 pro and none of the buttons work. Since I had to choose my favorite station that I listen to every morning that’s out of town and nothing happens when I press any of the buttons.

Poor quality

App locks up. Looses connection for no reason. Rarely can count on more than 10 mins of listening before it crashes

Barely works. Commercials not in sync with shows

I can barely listen. It never loads properly and the commercials are out of sync with my radio shows. It’s basically unusable.

CUTS OUT CONSTANTLY!

Ever since the iOS update to 11.2 the app constantly stops playing to buffer and I have to close out the app and reopen it. It will then repeat the same commercial it froze on just to freeze in the same spot! My internet connection is fine so it’s not a connection issue

Commercials

Commercials are repetitive, and louder, much louder than regular programming. If you wear headphones you will likely damage them during commercials. This combined with dropouts in the programming make me give this only 2 stars. Fix both issues and it would be 5 star.
Update 12/17. Above problems still exist in addition to connectivity issues. Always buffering broadcast which causes audio interruptions. Possible at radio station source. WROK Rockford, Il. Lowered to one star.

Always pushing external ads from Ad Council

The two stars for my rating are for being able to listen to my favorite hockey team’s radio broadcast. However, whenever the game goes to commercials, instead of the commercials from my local radio station, I hear these external ads from the Ad Council that range in subjects from hair care products to adoption. Never can be sure that these will end before the game starts again.
