Keep it up! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — Audio Issues after update *2020-10-22, version 4.0.0* Love the new look of the app. However, I’m having some issues. The App will pause the audio if I lock my screen or switch to another app. It only works if the phone stays unlocked and no other app is opened. ### 3/5 — Disappointing Playback Capabilities *2013-05-23, version 1.5* I love TSR, but to be honest I'm baffled by the amount of 5 star reviews for this app. The idea behind it is really great, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired. The primary issue is that listening often doesn't work for me when the app is in the background. Frequently, when the screen goes off after a couple of minutes, it quits playing. In addition to that bug, many features you would expect to see for podcast playback are simply not there. For example, you cannot speed playback to 1.5x or 2x (something that would make it a lot easier to listen to more TSR), you cannot use the "skip" buttons to jump ahead or back by 30 seconds, and the app doesn't remember your playback position or have any way of indicating which podcasts you have or have not listened to. Again, I love TSR and think they provide the best sports radio content around. I just see how much better the experience is using a generic podcast app that allows you to subscribe to any podcast, and I wish this app would provide similar functionality. ### 4/5 — Love it! *2020-10-22, version 4.0.0* Very nice app! Loved the old version definitely love this one, only thing is there’s a bug where I can’t lock my phone and it continue to play like the previous ### 4/5 — Great morning show *2014-12-31, version 2.0.3* I'd give this app 4 stars if Boogie would quit raggin' on the fan base. ### 5/5 — The best *2020-10-29, version 4.0.2* Jayson is the best Tennessee sports radio host around. I’ve listened for almost 10 years. The new app is great as well. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2020-10-21, version 4.0.0* The swain event is a must for the Vol Fan. The new app is fire!!! ### 5/5 — Swain *2018-03-14, version 3.0.0* SWAIN IS ALL VOL BABY! ### 5/5 — Great UT sports info *2016-09-17, version 2.0.4* This swain guy is VFL baby. All vol. no soccer or softball but UT football! Go big orange. Butch jones gonna knock somebody out. I'm far'd up. Beat the gators ### 5/5 — Great for out of towners *2014-08-04, version 1.8* The TSR team keeps me informed of all my VolNation news and updates. You can listen live, chat with the host and link to the social media sites. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2014-04-25, version 1.8* Awesome app couldn't go a day without listening to all these guys!!!! ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it. *2013-12-14, version 1.6* Outstanding, well designed, fluent.
