Best app for listening to ads!
I gave this app a 1 because 0 is not an option. Launch the app, you get 3 minutes of ads. It inserts ads during broadcasts, especially sporting events. Make a phone call during an ad? It pauses the ad and resumes when you hang up.
Want to listen on your phone? If you turn off the screen on your phone, it stops playing. Apparently it wants you to stare at the banner ad while listening to zip recruiter and sports gambling ads.
Car play takes it to the next level. Want to listen while you’re going on a trip? If you start playing and then switch to your map, it stops playing most of the time. No other audio app does this. Then sometimes it shows it’s playing but no sound. Yes, audio is turned on the car stereo because everything else plays. Other times, you get a black screen. WJR should be ashamed this app bears their name.

Just use iHeart Radio
What’s the point of this app if you can listen on iHeart Radio along with many other stations and podcasts? I wish I could listen to FULL past episodes of Mitch Albom on demand since it aires while I’m at work so I can never listen. I’d give this app 5 stars if it provided that.
Why doesn’t it just work
All the sudden, if I don’t keep the app up and running on my phone it closes and fades out. I have to keep my phone awake. This doesn’t happen with any other audio or podcast app. I know the audience is generally older, but you need some young folks in IT to make this app work better.
Updated app doesn’t work
Opening the app loads ads that you cannot cancel preventing from playing live streaming
App bait and switches you if you hit the play button
I’ve been using this app for years and about a year ago they turned the play button into a bait and switch add button to disreputable companies. If you have and iPhone delete this app now and ask siri to play wjr on apple music. I just deleted this app myself.
