| 2024-12-03 |  | | This app absolutely sucks!!!!!!! Keeps stopping when an ad pops up which is about every twenty seconds in my case will be deleting ....zero stars.... |
| 2024-08-30 |  | | I use this solely for University of Illinois football/basketball games. Does the user interface stink, yeah. Do you have to get a commercial anytime you open if you close on accident, yes. However the quality and strength of the stream has always been good. |
| 2024-08-18 |  | | pushes tons of ads. But really, really, hard to use to listen to WLS-AM 890. Like really really hard. Maybe I should listen to something else. Finally gave up and uninstalled this waste of time and space. |
| 2023-03-27 |  | | The app shuts down every time your screen goes dark, then you hurry to get it back so you don't miss what's being said and you have to sit through a damn commercial - EVERY TIME! Forget it! It's maddening and unlistenable! I'm uninstalling! |
| 2022-10-11 |  | | App now insists that I register with name, birthday, email. I'm already listening to the ads, so *NO*. UNINSTALLED. Re-instslled, now it plays ads before it plays the radio, where I'm already listening to ads. F*** this POS. uninstall |
| 2022-06-20 |  | | I tried it on two phones. Wouldn't run on either. "Another app may have prevented this one from running..." |
| 2022-01-29 |  | | I cannot access this app. I am getting this notification: WARNING: Another application may have prevented this one from loading. Required permissions may have been restricted. Please check restrictions in device's Setting screen and restart this app. I checked my settings and I don't have a restricting option. What do I do? I really would like to listen to this app especially the Chris Plante show. |
| 2022-01-27 |  | | Repeatedly closes on its own and has difficulty connecting throughout the day while on the same WiFi network |
| 2021-09-07 |  | | Crashes constantly and I'm subjected to adds before I can resume listening to the show. |
| 2021-06-03 |  | | If you guys actually want people listening, your app can't be disconnecting every 2 to 5 minutes. I say screw it and find another radio app to listen to that stays connected. |
