The station itself is great, but the app keeps cutting in and out and won’t play consistently. Hoping the streaming gets fixed.. ### 3/5 — Music 👍🏾 App 👎🏾 *2025-07-25, version 2.16.3* Love the content but the app could be a lot better. It continuously stops streaming whether I’m on WiFi or have great data reception. ### 3/5 — Problem with App *2024-05-02, version 2.16.3* App keep dropping off if I move around a lot. ### 3/5 — Crashes. *2024-03-21, version 2.16.3* I love the fact that all stations are together and I can listen anywhere, but it crashes a lot. Specially the spanish station. For some reason it looks like is playing but it doesn't reproduce any voice. ### 2/5 — Buffering issue *2023-10-16, version 2.16.3* I discovered Hot 95 while on vacation in cocoa beach. I love the music that was coming from it, and I was happy to find if there was an app that I could listen to it while back in Ohio. The app worked great for a year and now all the sudden every time my signal drops ever so slightly, the app starts buffering, and the music just gets distorted. I really wish they would do something to fix the app because I love the radio station. ### 2/5 — Does not cache data *2023-08-21, version 2.16.3* The app does not cache data so if you go from a good data area to a spotty area it just pauses. No other streaming apps seem to have this issue. iHeart Radio, spotify, and Amazon are just a few that don't have this problem. ### 3/5 — I love this app, But it never works when I open it 😟 *2022-03-05, version 2.16.3* I have this app and I have ChristianRock.Net app the ChristianRock.Net. Works 99% of the time no matter where I am or what the Signal is. I like the ChristianRock.Net for the most part put I don’t like all the songs in they’re play list and try to switch back and forth between the two but this hardly ever works. If didn’t I would just use it. ### 2/5 — Not working *2022-02-02, version 2.16.3* It appears correct, but not playing sound ### 4/5 — Love the app—not the random starts *2022-01-10, version 2.16.3* Listen to Z radio at home, and love the iOS app via CarPlay when traveling. However, it is annoying that I can’t find a way to close it when I am home. It often starts randomly playing on my phone for no apparent reason. I can only pause it and hope it stays quiet until I need it. ### 4/5 — SO AWESOME but........ *2021-02-18, version 2.16.2* Such a good app but it wouldn’t work all the time I would pause it then unpause and it still wouldn’t work but when it did it’s soo good and free ### 3/5 — Don’t work *2021-01-21, version 2.16.2* Only the Z 88 station works, not any other station on my app. I delete it and reinstall it and it still don’t work. ### 4/5 — Congratulations. *2020-12-26, version 2.16.2* You guys have done it again. You’ve created an app geared toward all genres of music. There’s something for everybody on this app. Rock, pop, hip hop, Spanish, gospel, worship, and holiday. There’s just one station missing. Christian Country. ### 4/5 — App Stops when you put in background *2020-05-07, version 2.13.1* I love the stations on this app but don’t like that it has to be always running in the front. When I go to open another app like messages it stops until you open it again. I also use iHeart Radio app and it still runs in the background (like now as I type this review). ### 2/5 — No audio on ipad *2019-09-30, version 2.7.1* Downloaded to IPad any seems to play, but I hear no music (no sound - IOS 13.1). :-( The same app/version works (audio okay) on IPhone. :-) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Works sometimes *2025-09-25, version 2.16.3* It often stops working and I have to go and start it again. Sometimes it starts right up and sometimes it jumps to some other song. Also, in the morning it's live, but by the afternoon it gets further and further off. At 3 pm they say it's like 9:30 am when announcing the time. Last, and the reason for the review, is that it hasn't been working at all lately. I'll have to try multiple times and refresh the app and sometimes it will finally work. This morning it wouldn't work no matter what I tried. ### 1/5 — Randomly stops *2025-06-12, version 2.16.3* I’ve had this app for AT LEAST 5 years now. And up till about 2 weeks ago, I e had no problems. Starting about 2 weeks ago, the music just randomly stops playing. This happens across multiple different Bluetooth devices as well as just playing through the phone. It also happens when I have great cell coverage, so that’s not the issue. Plus, once it stops, it’s nearly impossible to get it to start back. I wish the app had a refresh button. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2021-06-09, version 2.16.3* I give it one star not because I don’t like this app but because it only plays one station.. so annoying and so upset ### 1/5 — Love the Radio Station but... *2020-04-12, version 2.13.1* App doesn’t work at all ### 1/5 — No Audio on iPad. *2020-01-11, version 2.10.1.1* Version 13.3 ### 1/5 — It lags so bad *2018-08-16, version 2.0.1* Not working at all see history or call or text its won’t let me it’s not working ### 1/5 — No Audio *2017-09-26, version 1.1* No Audio since ios11 update ### 1/5 — Can’t listen with update to iOS11 *2017-09-21, version 1.1* I loved this radio network so much when I lived in Orlando and was so, so excited when I found out there was an app and I didn’t have to leave it behind. It’s a fine app and gets the job done when it’s working but ever since I updated to iOS11 I get no music. It will list songs but not play audio. I have checked to make sure other music streaming apps are working. I’m not sure if this started when I updated or a little earlier and I didn’t catch it until after the update, but it seems like this app may just need to be updated to work with the new OS. Great app and awesome music, otherwise. Hoping it gets fixed soon! ### 2/5 — Stops Playing *2025-09-22, version 2.16.3* This has been happening for a LONG time now. The app randomly stops playing even though it shows the play button is on. I’ve tried so many things to fix it but I can’t figure it out. ### 2/5 — Problem *2025-03-12, version 2.16.3* App still don’t work well in rural south central Montana ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love the Z! *2024-08-19, version 2.16.3* Hey!

It also makes me closer to God. ### 5/5 — The best *2024-02-27, version 2.16.3* This is a Jesus loving metal head from Iowa. “The Rock” has opened my life to so many bands I never knew about! They truly reaffirmed my belief that Jesus loves me even though I am broken. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2022-07-25, version 2.16.3* Hallo! I love this app mostly Hot 95.9.
