### 2/5 — Don’t bother

*2026-01-08, version 10.4.2*

The content is great!  But they either won’t post podcast episodes to it or they’ll be 2 weeks late. Just watch them on YouTube. The app is just a headache.

### 3/5 — App needs improvements

*2023-11-16*

Love listening to the guys but during the show the Skor North app freezes and buffers.  Most issues happen when trying to load the selected show the app just buffers and never uploads the show. Please make the necessary improvements.

### 3/5 — Content good, plenty of app issues

*2021-11-09, version 10.2.6*

App has issues where not opening right away

### 3/5 — App keeps stopping

*2021-10-27*

Since the last update the app keeps stopping after 30 seconds on iPhone 7. Please fix. I will give it five stars when it gets fixed.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review.  This was an issue with iOS 15.  An update was pushed to Apple yesterday. As soon as it's approved and available give it a try.  Should be good to go.  Thanks again for reaching out to let us know.

### 5/5 — Covid

*2020-05-08*

I switched from KFan to SKOR north less than  a year ago. Love the banter on the station. Raimy and others who were removed due to Covid will definitely be missed. Hope they get back on their feet soon

### 5/5 — Purple daily

*2020-05-04*

I used to listen to KFAN, but purple daily is my go to Vikings podcast 365 days a year. Former Vikings come on and they have a realistic approach to our favorite team. As a lifelong Viking fan living in Florida SKOR north is a part of my daily commute.

### 4/5 — Great app, only one issue.

*2020-01-09*

The playback volume from the app in CarPlay and on the iPhone’s speakers is very quiet.  Have to crank your car speakers WAY up.  Then you disconnect CarPlay and get deafened by your radio.  Everything else is great.

### 4/5 — Headphone listening

*2020-01-08, version 10.1.5*

Left side isn’t as loud as the right side. Have had the same problem for years. 

Otherwise, app is great. Listen daily!

### 5/5 — Great Minnesota Sports radio

*2019-12-23, version 10.1.5*

These guys are great and love Mackey, Judd, and Ramie! Best segment is right this down on Fridays midway through the show. Glad to see they brought back Scoops with Doogie too!

### 3/5 — The app is amazing, but Ramie and Manny are so annoying!

*2019-11-20*

The Skor North app works wonders and I’ve never had any issues with it. The only bad thing to say about Skor North is that Ramie and Manny are super annoying. All Ramie does is laugh at everything. Does he smoke weed before every show or what? You’re not funny, dude!

And Manny is constantly giggling like a little school girl.

### 5/5 — Best Vikings analysis out there

*2019-11-09, version 10.1.4*

🤘

### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2019-11-08*

When I’m in the car with my 5 year old, no matter what is on he asks “Is this Mackey and Judd with Romi?” ...so it’s a reminder to turn it on!

### 5/5 — Skor North - Nothing better!

*2019-09-08*

I’m 50 years old, lifelong MN sports fan. MN sports programming has had it’s moments but this is best I’ve ever heard. The combination of knowledge about MN sports, passion for sports and honest straightforward entertaining sports talk without a bunch of schtick is the best ever. Mackey and Judd with Ramie is pure gold. Judd is so underrated as a radio host, Mackey is a consummate professional who clearly cares about the overall product and Ramie is that perfect blend of comedian and passionate sports fan. Matthew Coller’s Vikings Daily with his guests Sage Rosenfels, Courtney Cronin and now Alex Boone is best Vikings coverage. Judd and Declan covering Wild, Danny C and Manny H and Raised by Wolves podcast, Detek Wetmore on Twins show are all podcasts that I can listen to anytime. I love that I can earn points and enter drawings for gift cards that are actually worth pursuing just for streaming live. And ... They still have Patrick Reusse in the fold. Love it! Keep it going!

### 5/5 — One stop for all MN sports

*2019-07-12, version 10.1.2*

Nice app to listen to sports and read news.

### 3/5 — Great content. Awful app experience.

*2019-07-04*

The content is tremendous. I don’t get the actual station on the radio so this is the only way I can listen. I also enjoy listening to other podcasts when I can’t listen live. I really do like this app.

That being said, it crashes ALL THE TIME. And it’s overall really frustrating

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — App stopped working

*2021-12-08, version 10.2.6*

App just comes up with a blank white screen and freezes. It used to work fine, but has been non-functioning for at least a month.

### 1/5 — Same old negative rehash

*2021-06-22, version 10.2.0*

It always the same old negative rehash. First and foremost if you build a platform around someone who is not worth listening to, it is hard to get more than 1 star.  Not much insight from the host …just a lot of negative points of view.  Stay away.

### 1/5 — Why does the audio stop

*2020-04-24, version 10.1.7*

When I turn the audio all they way down? Dumb feature, or is it a bug.

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2020-01-18, version 10.1.5*

I’m sure this content is worth five stars. The problem is I’ve never been able to see it. The app only opens for one second before crashing.

### 1/5 — Always crashing!

*2019-06-06, version 10.1.2*

I have downloaded your app on my iPhone 7 at least 50 times, all other apps closed, both on WiFi and 4G. It will download it but when I try to open it crashes. It is the only app with issues on my phone.

Regards, 
Francesco

### 1/5 — Need the ability to change playback audio speed

*2019-05-09*

I love listening to the audio from SKOR North! They have fabulous and interesting content. The only drawback is I like to listen to it on 1 and 1/2 speed. The app does not allow this so I never listen to their content from the app I only listen on the podcasts app. This is disappointing because the app offers rewards for listeners but I don’t enjoy listening at normal playback speed. Please update with this capability!!!

### 1/5 — Complete garbage

*2018-09-20, version 10.0.5*

Hubbard needs to find new mobile developers this app is crap. On demand flat out does not work. Did anybody test this??

New version crashes in on demand. Get your money back from your ‘developers’.

iOS 11.0.2 iPhone 7+  both WiFi/cell.  Go to on demand select Mackey and Judd wait a few seconds it crashes.  You’re welcome

Update - still complete garbage. Let me guess your contract developers took the money and ran. 

Wish I could rate zero stars

### 1/5 — Bad

*2018-05-03*

I have a iPhone 5s iOS 11.0.3 your app crashes with I select a on demand show play button. Totally does not work! Here’s the process; select 1500 app, select podcast menu on bottom, than select on demand, pick and select show, select anything on screen( play button, other hour or days) complete shut down!!! Haven’t listened to any of my shows for a couple of weeks now. GOOD LUCK. May 3rd 2018, still the same. Does anybody care that the app doesn’t work? Using my internet browser, is the only way I can listen to the shows.

### 1/5 — On Demand doesn’t work

*2018-04-24*

All the previous reviews are correct. This app simply doesn’t work for On Demand which is what I want it for. This is for the developers:

I am on a iPhone 6 running 11.3 iOS. I deleted this app and re downloaded the app from the App Store. I made sure no other apps were running in the background. I made sure the WiFi was working. Started the app and went into the On Demand page. I selected the Judd and Zolgadd show. The app showed me the page where I could hit play. But then it disappeared. This seems like a very clean use case for it not to work.

### 1/5 — Horrible!!

*2018-01-30, version 10.0.3*

I-Phone 6...pick an on demand show..and the app disappears!  It’s worthless...would rate it zero stars if possible.....

### 5/5 — 60 years Viking Fan

*2025-08-24*

My jobs over the years had me living in the Detroit market, Chicago market, and the Milwaukee market. I know a few things about being a Viking fan. Over the years, I would have given anything to have Purple Daily. Your knowledge is outstanding. Show is great. Thanks much.

### 5/5 — The best Vikings stuff!

*2024-03-26*

These guys on Purple Daily are amazing. I’ve been listening/watching for over a year now. They’ve got Vikings stuff to talk about everyday of the year. The NFL Draft talk has been amazing. They bring special guests on, etc. Download it now!

### 5/5 — My favorite sports talk channel

*2023-08-14, version 10.3.0*

Really enjoy this Minnesota-focused sports talk channel. Rarely miss a segment.

Entertaining formats (e.g., Write That Down) and great banter between Declan, Phil, and, of course, The Sports Dad, Judd Zulgad.

### 5/5 — Best MN sports talk out there in 2023

*2023-07-30*

These guys cover everything in MN pro sports. I was a Twins fan since the early seventies. I went to college in Minnesota and became a fan of the Vikings. A Timberwolves fan since they started in 1989, plus the Wild in 2000.  I live outside Minnesota now, but really miss talking Minnesota sports. These guys really fill that void. I really like it when they have the draft guys on talking Viking team strategy, plus Doogie fills in a ton of info on MN sports scene. Where else do you get a to listen to year round on Vikings, Twins, Wild and T-wolves. Love this show.

I especially like WRITE THAT DOWN. As sports fans, we all have predictions on what will happen, but Mackey, Judd and Declan actually write it down, track it, and put up a scoreboard of their correct predictions %’s.  It’s a great ideas and does what other sports “experts” would never do, measure how good they are at predicting what will happen based on all this useless sports knowledge we have rattling around in our heads.

### 5/5 — Great show!

*2023-05-13, version 10.2.12*

Long time lister
Great snow

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2021-07-25*

They’re the only thing that get me through the off season

### 5/5 — Update rocks!

*2021-06-04, version 10.2.0*

The new platform looks amazing and its much easier to navigate. I always went to youtube to watch videos but now I can access them on the app which is really useful. Great job making it a one stop shop

### 5/5 — MN  1 sports app

*2021-05-21, version 10.1.12*

Hands down best shoe out there when it comes to Minnesota sports. Daily podcasts are fire 🔥

### 5/5 — Homer and Panic!

*2020-09-05*

All jokes aside with their nicknames, Mackey and Judd are the best Minnesota sports guys in the market. My family grew up listening to KFAN but I think these guys are the best, most-progressive sports talk analysts in the Twin Cities, by far!

Give me all the analytics talk, the reckless speculation, and advocating to change in the community and the sport. This team of talkers has my unyielding support.

### 5/5 — Best local sports radio in MN

*2020-05-13, version 10.1.7*

As a lifelong MN sports fan, the daily content from SKOR North on various MN sports has helped get me through the lack of sports during the COVID pandemic.
