App has become worthless as time goes on!

Very disappointed in this app which doesn’t reflect well for WRAL as a whole. 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.

App has become worthless

Ads work fine. Not live radio

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.

App closes constantly

Will close before 30 seconds of opening. Has trouble staying open, very glitchy

Used to be good

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.

So so

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

Trash app

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

Getting worse

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.

Crashes

App crashes once every startup

Response from developer

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

WRAL - Expected Better

Every time I use the app to read an article the app crashes.

Crash app!

This app constantly crashes when I’m in the midst of just trying to check scores. Or read an article. Or anything. Happens EVERY TIME. With all the money WRAL makes, you’d think they’d get a competent app programmer. Don’t bother with this app. Just check Yahoo Sports or any other functional app.

Content great, app shuts down by itself

After the latest revision, the app shuts down by itself more often than not on both my iPad and iPhone. Very frustrating! I’ve tried deleting it and re-downloading it and it makes no difference. The Contant, on the other hand, his first rate,and we are lucky to have such quality on the air folks in the triangle area.

The Fan is the best!

Exactly what a hometown sports station should be. Adam Gold and Joe Ovies are phenomenal at what they do!

Good content, Terrible App

Moved away from NC but like listening to the local coverage of the NC teams/schools. Try to listen through the app on my drive home everyday but the app constantly freezes, or doesn’t load at all and won’t begin.

Also, the updates podcast section is garbage. Change it back to the old look that was easier to read.

Love 99.9 The Fan!

Keep up the great content!

Good app Good content

Like the ACC coverage
Really like the Panic Room

Go Duke!

Bring back Adam and joe interviews

They got rid of the Adam and Joe interviews podcast for some reason. I have no idea why they would do this and now I have to search the app every time I want to listen to one of their interviews instead of just going to the podcast widget.

New App is Horrible!

I'm in an office with no radio reception so I have to rely on your worthless app. It crashes at least 10 times every afternoon. VERY frustrating! No other streaming apps I use have this problem.

App has gotten worse

I listen to this app EVERY DAY - for mist of the day. Over the last few months- it’s gotten worse - especially the last couple of weeks. It disconnects frequently each day and I’ve had to reinforce 3 times. I’m having these issues on an iPhone.

Good app

Good for listening to local sports talk.
