### 1/5 — Crashes After Last Update

*2023-06-16, version 8.8.0*

WAS a good app until your last update. I rarely can get it to work.

### 1/5 — Great show/lousy app

*2023-06-12, version 8.8.0*

I don’t understand how a company this large (Cumulus) can be so successful and have such a useless app. … especially for a hugely popular program as Red Eye Radio!  This is so very frustrating and ridiculous. I have had to delete and redownload this app every time I want to listen to the podcasts.  If the Red Eye guys weren’t so much fun to listen to, I wouldn’t bother. PLEASE do something about this app!!!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-04-24, version 8.8.0*

Cannot access. Tap on desired  show. Play symbol comes up but won’t play podcast!

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2023-04-12, version 8.8.0*

Love the show but despise this app, rarely works properly, yet there tons of commercials that come through perfectly. Frequently crashes and requires a reload which leads to another round of …… you guessed it. Commercials. Absolutely zero app support.

### 1/5 — A lot of promotion and no plans to fix

*2023-04-10, version 8.8.0*

I keep hearing this podcast/app promoted on the radio while driving to and from work and it’s been available for years but it looks like the Red Eye Radio team has no plans to fix the problems. I really would love to listen to this app but since it’s never going to get fixed and the commercials, keep breaking the. App from playing, I cannot recommend this broken app. Maybe someday in the future they will fix this thing but until then don’t bother.

(UPDATE) App still doesn’t work on 4-10-2023. Maybe someday they will fix it and remove the ads that don’t play so that people who want to listen to it on podcast actually can listen to it.

### 1/5 — Impossible!

*2023-03-20, version 8.8.0*

Content good when you are lucky enough to access it. Frustrating!

### 1/5 — Won’t load

*2023-03-09, version 8.8.0*

It won’t load half the time and the ads you must watch before getting to the show is disgusting

### 1/5 — Show is great, app is terrible

*2023-02-21, version 8.8.0*

This may be the single worst app that I have ever used. Constant skipping with the audio. Constant disconnects. Just pure garbage. The app designers don’t even seem to care either.

### 1/5 — Glitchy and quits working

*2023-02-17, version 8.8.0*

Love the show bit the app is garbage. Sound stops repeatedly missing large sections of content. App also quits working totally and must be repeatedly restarted. If you can’t listen live don’t bother

### 1/5 — Stick with IHeart Radio

*2022-10-05, version 8.1.5*

I can’t believe this app is still so horrible.  Hey Mike and Gary I love your show but hate this app.  As much as the app is promoted on the show you would think they’d fix the problems.  I’ve tried it three times now and can’t even get through one episode without it freezing up.  The only reason I come back to this app is when I Heart Radio doesn’t have the latest show.

### 1/5 — Horrible App

*2022-07-01, version 8.0.0*

Do not waste one minute of your time with this app, this is the worst app I have ever used, worst that the iHeart app, if you can believe that. Guys, I love your show but someone needs to fix this app so that it actually works.

### 2/5 — Show is grate but the app is not

*2022-06-16, version 8.0.0*

I do enjoy listening to radio Netwerk when I do a lot of my nighttime driving the problem I’m having with the app is it crashes and I have to force stop to make it start working again too many times when I stop the playlist and try to go back to it to start it does not respond then I have to force stop this app and restart it again to listen to my podcast this is done on an apple iPhone 10 XR

### 1/5 — Sticks in commercial loop

*2021-10-11, version 6.20.0*

Don’t know if this is the app or the computer running the show. It’s starting to be just like any IHeart radio station. 20 minute ad loops then starts in the middle if the segment.

### 1/5 — App stinks

*2025-08-01, version 9.1.0*

I love your show so I wanted to be able to listen to parts I missed. Downloaded the app and it is horrible!!! So I deleted it same day so sad as I really wanted to be able to hear your show.

### 1/5 — Was bad. Got MUCH worse.

*2025-03-28, version 9.0.0*

App no longer allows you to download and save episodes. So thats it for me. This is the best show on radio but I can no longer listen to it. I don’t stream shows and sometimes I want to save one. This is now impossible. Goodbye Red Eye Radio.

### 1/5 — Non stop commercials. Horrible app

*2025-03-19, version 9.0.0*

You listen to 20 minutes of commercials occasionally interrupted by excellent talk radio for a few minutes, then back to the ads

### 1/5 — Sticks in commercial loop

*2025-02-10, version 8.8.0*

Don’t know if this is the app or the computer running the show. It’s starting to be just like any IHeart radio station. 20 minute ad loops then starts in the middle if the segment.
unbelievably bad app. no programming just gain ads and the little girl detective who has skin irritation needs fabric softener. Great app if i wanted to annoy people into not using my product. truly terrible

### 1/5 — Red eye commercials

*2025-02-06, version 8.8.0*

Enjoy show, downloaded app. 20 minutes later still listening to commercials. Don’t do it.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time!

*2025-01-30, version 8.8.0*

Kept hearing the advertisements, wanted to try the app. When I went to download it, noticed the low rating. Come to find out, the rating is higher than what the app is worth. When it did work, it would stop working after a while, and when I would try to start it again…nothing. 
I used to brag on WBAP, but more and more I just find myself frustrated trying to listen.

### 1/5 — Good show, terrible app

*2024-08-25, version 8.8.0*

App needs to be totally replaced

### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2024-07-11, version 8.8.0*

This app is the worst. Constantly stopping and the advertisements are relentless.

### 1/5 — Sooo Disapointed

*2023-06-22, version 8.8.0*

I was so happy when I found this show. I spend a lot of time driving and this was my favorite. However, I’m so disappointed as the app is the most difficult that I have ever used.  It’s so frustrating when you’re driving and it just hangs or goes into a loop of intro music that you can’t escape out of. So sad to say, but I’m deleting this app and will have to find a new show.

### 1/5 — App crashes

*2023-06-16, version 8.8.0*

Love the show but app is terrible. I have to delete and add it again everyday. And if I stop listening and go back, it crashes and I have to delete and add again. There are so many similar complaints, I don’t understand why this can’t be resolved

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Keep up the excellent work.

*2025-02-03, version 8.8.0*

Always great.

### 5/5 — Best radio show!

*2023-08-20, version 8.8.0*

Gary and Eric are smart, funny, informative, and understand politics and culture so thoroughly. I’ve lost many hours of sleep listening to them on the radio live, but this app lets me sleep AND get my Red Eye guys, too. Win-win. Keep it up gentlemen; you’re wonderful.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2020-01-17, version 5.2.26*

Never had a problem with this app for about 3 yrs. As a truck driver I love to listen to the show when I’m on the road. I don’t understand why such bad ratings with this app, but I never had a problem. Love listening to the guys at night

### 5/5 — Great App

*2016-06-15, version 5.1.21*

Love the show guys. Listen every night.

### 3/5 — App trouble

*2023-11-30, version 8.8.0*

Love the show and have been using the app for 2 years. Now all of a sudden it freezes up and I can’t listen to the pod casts. I wish I knew how to fix it!

### 3/5 — Good, But…

*2021-06-17, version 6.18.0*

Love the app but hate the constant disconnect.  Then to restart listening, I have to go through the ads again and miss a lot of discussion I really wanted to hear.  Have the same problem with the WBAP app (related).  Really needs improvement on this!  Irritating!

### 2/5 — AGAIN…Eric Harley

*2025-10-08, version 9.1.2*

Like most of you, I listen to Red Eye late night. Love the show and the content. I wish we could all pitch in some cash to buy Eric a new crutch word, other than, “Again…[emphatically]” to begin every new phrase as he gathers his thoughts for his next phrase. Love his humor and impersonations. But PLEASE! No more, “Again…”. Just make your point. Say it for the FIRST time. Otherwise love the show.

### 2/5 — Love the show. Not the app

*2024-11-14, version 8.8.0*

This app plays ads constantly and doesn’t always play the show. Gary Macnamra & Eric Harley are two of the best radio hosts on the radio. Informative and honest, very rare in media. Wish the app worked consistently but can’t stand 15 minutes of the same 5 ads. iHeart works much better, I find a station they are on using that app.

### 2/5 — Dozen+ commercials

*2023-09-19, version 8.8.0*

Like the title says, way too many commercials.  5 minutes or more sometimes

### 2/5 — Great show but……

*2022-09-16, version 8.0.0*

The pop up’s are terrible. It’s so bad that you have to open and close the app a few times. Terrible.
