This app is the worst and I , love Ricky Smiley but this is ridiculous. I know by now someone should have fix this . ### 2/5 — App not working *2024-03-28, version 8.16.0* This whole week I have not been able to listen to the morning show. I have deleted the app several times and downloaded it and it still not working right. When it plays it’s like fast forwarding a song. Not understanding why and then there is no where to get a reason why the app is not working. They need to update it or take it down. Not working properly at all!! ### 1/5 — Stop and start often *2023-12-07, version 8.13.0* When listening it always cut off at random times and you have to keep loading it back up and listening to the unnecessary greeting before Listening to the show. By that time you have missed out on something you wanted to hear. ### 2/5 — Good as Ricky’s reading *2023-11-16, version 8.8.0* A bunch of pot holes and speed bumps app works 40% of the time like Ricky’s painful commercial reads ### 2/5 — Bug fixes *2023-11-15, version 8.8.0* I love the show, however the App is constantly blanking out and you have to reset the app/ close and restart it- then you miss parts of the show that’s informative. ### 1/5 — Connectivity issues *2023-10-26, version 8.8.0* Every other week it seems like I can’t listen because of the connectivity issues. ### 1/5 — TERRIBLE *2023-09-15, version 8.8.0* This app is TRASH!!! Like hot garbage. I love the RSMS and was happy to see this app, but if I could give zero stars, I would. The Rickey Smiley Morning Show is shaping up to be the biggest morning show on air as more cities pick up their show, so you would think they would invest more into their app. Apparently they haven’t. It constantly freezes, cuts off in the middle of the show, freezes and crashes. It does this often. Please fix this app! ### 1/5 — All commercial no show *2023-04-19, version 8.8.0* I’ve been listening to the RSMS show for a while now and for the past week I only hear the commercials and when the show comes on it’s silent. I have deleted and reinstalled the app several times and still now show just commercials I tried to download the local station’s app that carries the show but it’s even worse, I get the local commercials and dj shoutouts about their shows but no RSMS play back What happened that causes this issue? ### 1/5 — Barley works *2023-04-19, version 8.8.0* I love the Rickey Smiley morning show but I hate this app! It will work good temporarily and then just stop. Literally will play NOTHINGGG ugh ### 1/5 — Commercials only *2023-04-19, version 8.8.0* These apps are trash. All you get are advertisements and you can’t even listen to the shows a lot of the time. They make sure you get the commercials running perfectly. But you can’t even listen to what you’re using the app for. ### 2/5 — Frustrated *2022-09-26, version 8.1.0* I love the Rickey Smiley morning show but this app is awful! It plays way too many ads and constantly crashes. I have to reload the app at least 6 times during the airing of the show. Please fix this issue. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2022-05-11, version 8.1.0* This app is garbage, I am working when they are on air, so when I get off in the evening I want to listen the the morning show on my ride home, this app does not do that, I have to get it from YouTube, if someone posts it thumbs down to this app ### 1/5 — Pointless. App is for advertisements only *2021-10-26, version 6.20.2* Clearly they have no concern this app is terrible. As long as it can play advertisements they are good. If they worked on the app to play the show as hard as they work to make the advertisements play flawlessly this would be a great app. But they clearly will never fix it. People been complaining for yrs smh. ### 2/5 — The app is trash *2021-09-02, version 6.20.2* I would love the app but half the time it does not load or work. ### 1/5 — The app needs upgrades *2021-09-02, version 6.20.2* I absolutely LOVE the show but this app is horrible. It crashes often, buffers a lot and the last 2 days only ads have been playing. Grrrrrrr….. please get a new app platform or fix this one. ### 1/5 — The app is horrible *2021-09-02, version 6.20.2* The app is not working. Two days in a row. Too many glitches App stop working in the middle of show Will not start back working right away You have to close and reopen the app You have to manually press play to get the app to start It’s ridiculous ### 1/5 — It won’t work… *2021-09-01, version 6.20.2* I have the iPhone 10 Plus and this app will not play the radio show. What’s the point of having and app Kathy Hughes if it’s not going to work properly. Please hire a better IT Team or get someone that knows what they’re doing. ### 2/5 — Love the show, too many commercials. *2021-06-17, version 6.20.2* I’ve loved the show since I began listening to it when I was in college. My town stopped airing his show a year ago, so i was super excited to see there was an app. However, I recently noticed I’m getting around 5 mins of the same ads when listening to the show. It’s ridiculous. ### 1/5 — Just why *2021-06-17, version 6.20.2* The app keeps crashing, and it plays the same commercial back to back. Why have an app that’s always crashing, just why? Let’s do better app developers ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Is anyone admining this app *2025-01-10, version 8.16.0* I’ve saved this within app in the IHeart. For two months it’s been repeating the same show on a particular date! Is anyone administering and updating this app? It’s a bad look for Rickey Smiley and Reach Media. This lack of attention to detail may lose me as a fan. ### 1/5 — App Not Working *2024-09-20, version 8.16.0* Please fix this problem ### 1/5 — Update App *2024-02-17, version 8.16.0* App is terrible.
