I didn’t agree to that when I downloaded your app. Notification should be a choice. Please turn mine off. ### 3/5 — Local station for the Pdx Community! *2021-07-05, version 3.6* The app is still a little clunky in places, but i expect things will iron out as the summer evoles. Especially the CHAT is wonky, hint hint. As things go with local scene stations, there are great and not-so-good music right up against each other here. If you have aa just a little patience, you will probably hear something really good you haven’t heard before. Maybe some future pop star. ### 5/5 — For family to enjoy together *2026-06-20, version 7.3.2* I love listening to That Lana Lady with my kiddos while having breakfast. Always a fun show for all of us. Three Bears Family Radio is her show. ### 5/5 — Thank you *2026-05-24, version 7.2.2* You guys rock! ### 5/5 — Vermont *2026-04-03, version 7.2.2* Dandy world’s rule ### 5/5 — Radboy *2026-02-19, version 7.2.1* All hands on deck!! Pirate style radio, is exactly what this world needs right now! Raise the pirate flag, the main sail, and raise hella coin bye telling your mates to plug a buck or two!? This boat stays afloat..🫡🏴‍☠️ ### 5/5 — Best radio station on earth *2025-02-13, version 5.2.4* Nuff said ### 5/5 — Shady Pines Forever! *2024-11-05, version 1.0.3* I enjoy my Tuesday morning ritual shoegazing with DJ Aaron when THE SUN HITS. Radio is not dead! ### 5/5 — The Best DJs Anywhere *2024-03-10, version 1.0.3* Listener-supported community radio at its very best. Non-stop one-stop shop for music nerds and the intellectually adventurous.
