Spotty playback. Shows will cut off and then the loading wheel of death appears. Also, I racked up a substantial amount of loyalty points from listening to games, which were all wiped out and put back to 0 yesterday. Who knows when the loyalty rewards will actually be rolled out, but I find this extra annoying when accruing the points is also buggy. Makes me want to be disloyal ngl and that takes a lot considering I’m a mariners fan ### 3/5 — Please help - infuriating issue since update *2026-06-01, version 11.0.7* **Update: Claude seems to think the reason this is happening is that the app is failing to properly register its audio session with iOS’s “MPNowPlayingInfoCenter”. Can you please provide an update if this is indeed what’s happening?** Hi Seattle Sports team! I love your shows and used to love the app. Since the recent update, the app is not appearing on my lock screen or in my iPhone’s “now playing” control in Control Center, nor on CarPlay. It’s as if my phone does not recognizing it at all while I’m listening to it. This is highly irritating, especially when I want to rewind a podcast etc - I can now only do so by unlocking my phone and using the app itself. I’ve tried all obvious fixes including reinstalling the app. Help! ### 4/5 — Bring back the skip ad button *2026-05-29, version 11.0.7* App no longer appears in the pull down notification screen. This was very helpful to control sound while completing other tasks. App seems stable and is enjoyable for listening to baseball. Yeah I need the skip ad button back… ### 2/5 — New app functionality *2026-05-15, version 11.0.5* Ever since upgrade while I am listening to app live on phone if I switch to another app (to see text, read mail, etc) the audio skips. Did not do this on old app ### 3/5 — Please help - infuriating issue since update *2026-05-13, version 11.0.5* Hi Seattle Sports team! I love your shows and used to love the app. Since the recent update, the app is not appearing on my lock screen or in my iPhone’s “now playing” control in Control Center, nor on CarPlay. It’s as if my phone does not recognizing it at all while I’m listening to it. This is highly irritating, especially when I want to rewind a podcast etc - I can now only do so by unlocking my phone and using the app itself. I’ve tried all obvious fixes including reinstalling the app. Help! ### 3/5 — Location services in CarPlay *2026-05-11, version 11.0.5* I have been waiting for this app to work with CarPlay and am happy to see the feature has been implemented in the new update. However, it will not recognize location services during Mariner games and blocks the audio. If I open it on my phone, it works fine, but in CarPlay it’s in blackout mode. ### 2/5 — Seahawks & Mariners *2025-12-18, version 10.0.14* LA teams blah ### 2/5 — Takes forever to load *2025-11-03, version 10.0.5* We have fast internet. But, several times a week it doesn't load. So, I exit the app and have to listen to the ad again...and it still doesn't load. Usually, by the third try it does. ### 1/5 — SALK’S Politics *2025-08-26, version 10.0.5* This is a sports station in case you forgot about it. If you want to talk politics go to another liberal/progressive station or to 97.3FM. You taking shots every day at Conservatives adds to the typical stereotype by liberals that just can’t stop talking politics unless you agree with them and if you do t then you’re a horrible human being. Be better Salk and hopefully someday you will mature, get wiser and maybe understand my advice. ### 1/5 — Never works *2025-05-31, version 9.2.17* Would be nice if it worked to listen to the Ms. instead it just spins forever when I try. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2025-05-25, version 9.2.17* It’s awesome….if you like the fact that it stops playing every three minutes. I’ve used three different phones with this app and it happens every time. It’s impossible to listen to anything. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Supporting false advertising *2026-08-12, version 11.0.15* It’s outrageous that Bonneville allows KARS4KIDS to continue advertising on 710 despite being sued for false advertising in Pennsylvania, Oregon, Minnesota, Texas, and California. This organization raises money under deceptive practices that solely benefit Jewish children, it was testified to that the primary use of funds is to send 17-18 y.o.’s to Israel on gap-year trips. There is no place for this false advertising that continues to be played hourly during their most popular radio show (Brock & Salk). This may be a conflict of interest as Mike Salk has stated publicly that he is Jewish. This advertising has to go ### 1/5 — Help *2026-08-04, version 11.0.14* Please fix this app. Stops constantly. Loops and replays on itself during audio and ads. Makes it unlistenable. ### 1/5 — Upgrade issues *2026-06-18, version 11.0.9* The content is top tier. However, since the recent app upgrade in 2026, I have had nothing but playback issues. The audio/video players do not play well with the iOS playback system. It does not show up with a play/pause button half the time on the lock screen or pull down menu. It also allows playback from two different audio sources at the same time rather than pausing the one that was playing. The audio will also sometimes “skip” putting about a 1 second pause in the audio about every 10 seconds. Video with audio often gets out of sync, and there is no longer the ability to skip back a couple minutes if you missed something like you used to be able to. It’s unfortunate that this big upgrade led to these new issues Please fix them. Thanks ### 1/5 — New update is rough *2026-06-03, version 11.0.8* Pausing or crashing every few minutes since installing the latest update. Pressing play leaves a loading wheel and never starts. ### 1/5 — Constantly stoops *2026-05-27, version 11.0.7* While the content is great, the app is very unstable. I t constantly stops and cannot be restarted until you close the app and restart. It plays for a while and then same thing happens. Very frustrating. When you look at the play button when it does this, it flashes from the play to the pause symbols. ### 1/5 — The new app (5/26/26) *2026-05-26, version 11.0.7* Terrible. The new updated app is worse than the last one. I love the shows and I spent hours listening trough the app since I work graveyard but with this new updated app it’s making it I won’t be listening to it anymore. There’s no app experience at all. It feels like you’re streaming it from an outdated web page. Please fix this and I’ll change my rating thank you. ### 1/5 — New update killed a key feature *2026-05-14, version 11.0.5* Hi developers. Thanks for the update, but now the show (M’s game) does not show up on the “now playing” part of the iPhone. It also means that I cannot play/pause the game with my AirPod headphones. It seams like the new audio feed is acting more like a video in the background than it is an audio track. please bring back the play pause and now playing features. It was working so well for me to listen to every mariners game…and now you are losing my business (add revenue) to the mlb app or “tune in” ### 1/5 — Why man *2026-03-01, version 10.0.14* Used to be an easy to use app but got too big for its britches. I don’t need to give more info just to use this app. Nice way to ruin an app. Probably bonneville wanted more user info to sell… deleted app… no thanks ### 1/5 — Unable to sign in *2025-10-15, version 10.0.5* The app makes you sign up with Bonneville in order to access. It gives you the option to use “sign in with Apple” and then nothing happens. :-( ### 1/5 — Seattle sports supports fascism *2025-09-22, version 10.0.5* While the content from the stations hosts is generally good, the constant ads from the fascists in charge get over whelming. No, I will not join trumps illegal private police force to “keep our borders safe”. I will no longer listen or use this app until they rescind those terrible adverts ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Consistent Quality Content *2026-08-26, version 11.0.15* The shows on this radio station feature highly dedicated hosts who know how to put together great sports content. I can feel their passion for our teams and they help us unpack how we feel as a community about the latest news and happenings with our local sports teams every day. I owe them for all the entertainment I’ve gotten from this over the many years of following them, and I appreciate their effort to make their app and YouTube channel better all the time. ### 5/5 — Review of 710am *2026-08-07, version 11.0.14* Love me some 710am!!! I love B&S and Maura (?), very entertaining, gets me going in the morning!! Also, great guests. Then Bump & Stacy, very refreshing, Bump is very real and Stacy & Curtis bring some levity that I really enjoy. Wyman & Bob finish my day on a high note, thank you!! Of course there’s also Lefko, Furbush, Brady, and…. Dang Brain freeze😔 ### 5/5 — 🤙🏾 *2026-07-31, version 11.0.9* 🤙🏾 let me come back to playing football 🏈 ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-05-20, version 11.0.7* I like switching from video to audio if I need. And all the podcasts are here. News is too notch. ### 5/5 — Love it, but give me… *2026-04-12, version 10.0.14* I love it all. I actually enjoy the simplicity of the design. But one thing, an added CarPlay app would be handy; pun intended. ### 5/5 — 30 sec skip *2025-12-19, version 10.0.14* Love all the shows and understand wanting to build onto your own app and brand. One thing that keeps me from using it more is the 15 sec skip. Apple Podcasts has the 30 sec skip and as small as it sounds, it makes a world of difference. Maybe something to consider. Otherwise keep up the hard work. Thanks ### 5/5 — Moose or Meese? *2025-09-10, version 10.0.5* Mike - glad you enjoyed your trip to Montana and Glacier Park. So you know, the plural form of Moose is: Moose. Not Meece. Love the show during baseball season. Too much hawks coverage to listen all year. Go Broncos! ### 5/5 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Must-Have for Seattle Sports Fans – Even Outside Seattle *2025-08-08, version 10.0.3* I’ve been listening to Mike Salk and Brock Huard since 2010, and this app is hands-down the best way to stay connected to Seattle sports—especially for fans like me who’ve moved away. I relocated to LA from my hometown of Seattle and needed a reliable way to keep up with my favorite teams, the Mariners and Seahawks. The 710 Seattle Sports app gives me exactly that—smart, insightful, and passionate Seattle sports talk at my fingertips. My go-to is the Brock and Salk show at 6am PT. I’ve followed them through multiple lineups and changes, and they’ve consistently delivered quality content, thoughtful takes, and plenty of fun. They get what it means to be a Seattle sports fan—whether you’re in the Northwest or listening from afar. Over the years, the show has brought in a great cast of voices and personalities. I still miss Danny O’Neil (hope NY is treating him well!), and the nostalgia of “Boy Howdy” from the earlier Brock and Salk days still brings a smile. Mike Salk, while polarizing to some, has always been a must-listen for me. He’s opinionated, informed, and has genuine heart. Brock is the gold standard—full of integrity and insight. Maura and Lyle have been excellent additions to the team, adding great balance and chemistry. And I’ve got to shout out the Bump and Stacey show—Stacey brings sharp analysis and a bright future in broadcasting. Love her takes. Whether you’re in Seattle or thousands of miles away, this app keeps you connected. It’s a must-download for any true fan of Seattle sports. ### 5/5 — Video ad’s? *2025-05-16, version 9.2.17* The app is great minus the video ad at the beginning. I’ve started using Audacy in lieu because it won’t stop the streaming if you minimize the app prior to initial ad playing. Unless you want to drive traffic to apps like Audacy, might be something to reconsider.. ### 5/5 — Ouch *2025-05-08, version 9.2.17* Have to give this app five stars just because I feel so bad that Salk and Two Plates have no idea what they are talking about when it comes to the Mariners. All off-season they complained about hitting and look at the Mariners this year. Your whole job is to watch and analyze sports, and to be this far off is hard to listen to. Hopefully the five stars can brighten both of your days knowing how bad you are at your job. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
