Worst app ever!

So you’re already planning to listen to a radio station that is paid for by advertising but when you bring up the app, you have to listen Even more ads before the app plays the radio station. Then if you get a text and want to read it, the app signs you out and you gotta listen to the ads all over again, get a phone call.. same thing. You have to listen to the ads all over again and oh, by the way, it is the same ads…what a waste!
Horrible program on iPhone.

Too many extra adds

I understand it’s add supported but this adds another layer of adds before you get to the broadcast stream, which also had adds. THEN you pop in the earbuds, resets and starts the adds, walk away from WiFi, freeze reset adds again. Today I got stuck in nothing but adds and gave up! Love WMAL, hate the app!

Great app…if you like ads

While this app serves the purpose it is designed for, you will need to put up with constant repetition of the same ads…sometimes 5-6 PER HOUR! Since 5 am today, ( now 9 am) I have heard the same Jennifer Garner Capital One ad at least 20 times. I have contacted the station multiple times to let them know how disrespectful this is to their listeners. No response. Monumentally annoying.

If you love commercials you’ll love this app

I opened this app for the first time, and deleted it after 10 minutes os nothing but commercials. I’ll stick to other apps to get wmal.

Obnoxious ads

They include a bunch of obnoxious ads when you start the app. WMAL already makes money on their advertising for their radio content. This is double dipping and obnoxious.

Too many ads

The app is not bad during the day, but at night they may run seven ads in a row.

Gets worse and worse

I think this app gets worse with every revision. Now the audio stream pauses for 15sec every time the muted ad on screen starts playing again. This is ridiculous.

Wake up #CumulousRadio! Do you support the hosts of WMAL or not?

Can this app be made any worse?

Literally non stop pop up repetitive ads! Only to get to the station and listen to more ads, there has to be a better way.

No many ads

Can’t do anything else on your phone. If you leave the app it stops working

Great Station but HORRIBLE APP!

Constant, incessant commercials… the same ones over & over & over & over & over again & again & again.

If you enjoy hearing the same fake snarky woman in the bad ad for toenail fungus over 100 times a day then this app is for you. In a three hour talk show there isn’t 1/2 hour of content. Unlistenable.

The Ads!!!!!! Ugh!!

I grew up listening to WMAL in NoVA. I’ve tried many times to download the app to be able to listen and the pop ups and excessive ads to start listening are so frustrating, so I always end up giving up. It’s been a year or two since I tried, so I thought maybe it had gotten better & tried downloading again. It was worse than ever!! After 5 minutes of ads and pop ups & still no show, I gave up and deleted the app. : (

Derek Hunter show best work ever,

Any mailing address for WMAL ?

Non-stop pop up ads

This app runs pop up ads constantly during the program that you are trying to listen to. It not like a couple before they let you listen to the show but it keeps going, cutting out audio and doesn’t stop until you push the close button on the ads. Very annoying. I will be deleting the app because it is not worth the hassle. I will go back to iHeart because they are not quite as bad. Almost but not quite…

Glitchy app

I love this radio station. The app frequently closes for seemingly no reason. And don't think about running it if you have battery saver on. Other radio station apps run well, so I know it can be done.

Best morning show

I no longer live in my beloved MD, but stay rooted and informed with my morning hit for best insights and interviews - making sense of the news✅ love the Larry O’Connor show. Don’t change a thing. 😉

Ads

Well, they made the ads in the app to where you can’t even listen to the show now. You have to search around for the ex and then sometimes you can’t even find one. Who makes these decisions?

Commercial

Commercial too often the same over again

Too many annoying ads

Hey, I’m already listening to ALL the ads that are in the broadcast!! Why are you pummeling me with these pop-up ads on the app?
I’m trying to listen to the broadcast while doing other activities. Don’t need those pop-ups!

Great

Go Chris!

Chris Plante is the best. He gives information to the audience with humor and sarcasm. I love it! He’s interesting as well as informative. If I have to miss his show, I always catch up on his podcast. Thank you, Chris!
