Constantly Resetting to Ads

This app cannot stay connected and you keep hearing the same ad over and over again when it resets and before you can hear what’s actually on the station. Much better to use iHeartRadio

Want to listen to adds all day? You’re in the right place

Absolutely terrible app. I spend a lot of time on the road and have used the app to listen while not in the Orlando area. Every phone call I get resets the app and makes you listen to that awful ad for Certified Financial planners. The ads is over 30 seconds long so if you are on the phone frequently you end up listening to that ad way more than anything on the radio. I’ve stopped listening

Ad, ad, ads!

I love the station. However, the app is irritating. To listen to the live radio feed, you have to see a 30 second ad every time. Then this is followed by an audio ad, then you get to the live feed, which may be ads or actual talk show. I had an alarm go off on my phone, when the app came back. It was playing the audio ad again. Rather irritating.

Hate

Get a call & have to listen to that stupid ad for Certified Financial. Again & again. Don’t do it. This is an awful site.

Annoying Ad

I like the app but am giving it 3 stars because I am so tired of the Certified Financial Group 30 second ad. It is a poorly put together ad with music that is “off key” and the ad is boring and not compelling. They’ve been running this same ad almost exclusively that it feels like WDBO has totally sold out to Certified Financial Group (CFG). Ads are supposed to be creative, humorous, compelling (think Geico, etc.). It is possible to be off putting to your customers by over running an ad, and that’s where I’m at with this ad. I don’t even want to open the app anymore because I know right off the bat I will have to watch this boring ad. I’m actually kinda resentful towards CFG at this point lol. It’s time to retire that ad, guys.

If you want to improve this app, switch up the ads please, or allow us to skip this one 5 seconds in.

Also, I appreciate the $1,000 keyword drawing but can you guys please simplify the process? Many of your listeners are driving when the keywords are given. For safety reasons, do you really want a bunch of people that are driving to rush to try to fill out a form? Perhaps make it so that our info is saved in the app itself and we submit through the app without it redirecting every time to a webpage.
