I can listen to about one segment before it starts endlessly buffering. Have to close the app and restart to get it going again. WiFi and LTE. ### 2/5 — Stops playing *2018-02-21, version 1.1.0* App will stop playing. Always at the end of a commercial. If I open the app back up and hit play, the entire commercial break will replay unless I restart the app. ### 2/5 — Not stable *2018-02-21, version 1.1.0* I don’t know why they bash the radio pup app when this app’s stream quality isn't any better... I’m constantly having to restart the app to keep the stream going. No rhyme or reason... I’ve never listened to a full hour without messing with it. I love that I can stream it from the radio. Just please fix stream stability. I’m currently listening to more commercials re-starting the app than anything. (Conspiracy theory?? ((Kidding calm down)) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Kelly crush. *2025-05-30, version 2.6.2* Kelly being cute was half the fun of listening. She now comes across as desperate and easy. It isn’t attractive and she has lost a lot of respect. ### 1/5 — Advertising *2023-08-27, version 2.4.1* Downloaded the app to listen to while I was out of town. After 6 minutes of commercials and ads I deleted the app. ### 1/5 — Crappy App *2023-03-17, version 2.3.14* Constantly freezes up and almost never has the correct song info for what’s playing. Developers must not know how to write apps cuz it’s constantly being updated but never get any better. One of the worst. ### 1/5 — App crashes after update *2022-12-21, version 2.3.12* Once you try to listen the app crashes. ### 1/5 — App crashes *2022-12-21, version 2.3.12* After the most recent update I tried to listen but every time I click to listen the app crashes. Great job dev team… ### 1/5 — Crashes *2022-12-21, version 2.3.12* If you try to listen live the app crashes instantly w/ the newest version. ### 1/5 — Plays music when should be morning show *2020-12-02, version 2.3.2* This is the most frustrating part of my day battling this awful app while trying to listen to the Free Beer and Hot Wings Morning Show. The app consistently comes out of commercial breaks into music instead of back to the morning show. The morning show is the only reason I personally use this app, but it is so unreliable that I am beginning to not want to listen to this show that I tune in for every single weekday morning. I could switch to the Free Beer and Hot Wings app itself to listen, but the sound quality on that one is atrocious. The only good thing that this WGRD app going for it is the sound quality. Would not recommend. ### 1/5 — Bleh *2020-03-02* It just plays Geico commercials over and over with a Capital One commercial thrown in here and there. **Developer response:** We're sorry to hear that you are encountering this issue!

Crashes every 20 or so mins. They won’t fix it though. It’s been like this for a year. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — One and Only!!! *2025-04-18, version 2.6.1* Hands down best station, plus the funniest crew? Or idk what to call them lol. From the newest rock songs to blasts from my past..I listen all day everyday! Keep on ROCKIN’ ### 5/5 — The BEST place to go get real music *2025-01-16, version 2.6.0* Number One Channel ### 5/5 — Articles *2024-06-18, version 2.5.2* I appreciate the articles and updates you all do regularly. ### 5/5 — 🤘🏽 *2021-12-29, version 2.3.8* GRD Rocks! ### 5/5 — 🆓🍺🔥🐥 *2017-04-25, version 1.0.0* This app is super easy to use, as well as organized in an easy to navigate through manner. The settings are simple to update. It's nice to have my favorite morning show, weather, and news all in one place. ### 4/5 — 97.9 WGRD *2021-03-12, version 2.3.4* I really enjoy this app I can listen to it anytime anywhere thank youAlthough the app does get me in trouble grocery shopping I’ve got an ask to turn it down I even thought it was appropriate when you guys played let the bodies hit the floor and I was at a funeral but like I said before I love the app thank you guys ### 3/5 — It's ok *2020-03-02, version 2.2.2* There’s been improvements in the streaming quality. It only had trouble when I leave my WiFi and switch to data, but then adjusts and is ok. However, I’m noticing more and more that music is playing instead of the ads. Initially I thought that was great until I realized it was cutting into Free Beer and Hot Wings, the only reason why I’m listening to this station. Please fix! ### 2/5 — Unreliable *2018-03-02, version 1.1.0* Not sure why Radio Pup is a bad dog cuz this one is a steaming pile of crap. Always stops playing after an ad plays so there are constant restarts involved. Sometimes miss ten minutes of actual broadcast. Very frustrating. Will re-download when they have an app that actually works. ### 2/5 — App closes itself without warning *2018-02-26, version 1.1.0* I start the app in the morning and after 10-15 min all of a sudden it stops playing. I look at my phone and either the app closed itself, the stream died and I have to close and reopen the app, or else it paused itself randomly for no reason. I love this show but moved away from GR so I’m hoping the bugs will be fixed soon! ### 2/5 — Bad stability problem *2018-02-26, version 1.1.0* I love listening to WGRD in the app. It worked great at first but lately it’s always crashing. I am at the point, I have to restart the app every 10 minuets. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
