So must for following sports in North Carolina. App throws more commercials thus less real content of “reporting” on sports! Dropped listening in WRAL radio (except on Sundays) as well. ### 1/5 — App has become worthless *2026-01-26* So must for following sports in North Carolina. App throws more commercials than any real content of “reporting”! Dropped listening in WRAL radio as well. ### 2/5 — Ads work fine. Not live radio *2024-04-16* So frustrating trying to listen to live radio. If the app disconnects, you have to listen to ads when you reconnect, every time. You end up missing content. Better to listen to the Canes games on the Canes App. ### 1/5 — App closes constantly *2024-02-05* Will close before 30 seconds of opening. Has trouble staying open, very glitchy ### 1/5 — Used to be good *2023-12-02* I’ve had this app since basically since the beginning. Somehow the functionality has fallen off substantially. The content is fine, but the app force-feeds you a commercial or two EVERY TIME you toggle between the streaming channels. So if you don’t want to listen to one and want to see what’s on the other, you get another commercial. Not what you want to listen to and go back to the other channel?…here’s another commercial. And then if you’re especially unlucky, you get to leave the forced commercials and get dumped into a regularly scheduled commercial break for the content you’re so desperately trying to listen to! Utter garbage. Not to mention the fact that it crashes at least once every time you open it. It’s sad because this was my favorite app for years to listen to Triangle sports. ### 2/5 — So so *2023-11-28* App usually crashes at least once. usually fine the second time. Also, love (not) how WRAL is fine with sticking streaming advertisement even when the radio host is still talking (ilo waiting for regular ad break). Very annoying ### 1/5 — Trash app *2023-11-27* Shuts down randomly. And now commercials right in the middle of programming while people are still talking? There is no commercial break the app just allows commercials to interupt. Deleted app. Download tune in app and stream 99.9 the fan that way ### 2/5 — Getting worse *2023-10-25* Content is weaker. Links to radio are fine; but, the radio content is all nfl all the time! (plus some nba) Less NC local than before. And of course the app keeps shutting down - no other app I use does it. I’m close to dropping this ap. **Developer response:** Rgh - that shouldn't be happening. Can you reach out so we can troubleshoot with you? support@wral.com ### 1/5 — Crashes *2023-09-29* App crashes once every startup **Developer response:** Rgh - sorry to hear it! Can you reach out so we can get the details of your device? That way we can be sure to test the bug fix on your specific device type. support@wral.com ### 1/5 — WRAL - Expected Better *2023-08-15* Every time I use the app to read an article the app crashes. **Developer response:** Yikes! That's no good. Can you email us your device type, so we can look into this? support@wral.com ## Frequently asked questions about WRAL Sports Fan ### What does the WRAL Sports Fan app do?
