This app is complete garbage. It stops working out of nowhere and CONSTANTLY has "play source error" messages. Hands down, 100%, the absolute worst app I've ever seen in my life. It constantly cuts out and stop playing. When it starts working again, you have to listen to the same embedded commercials over and over again. if somebody is reading these reviews, can you please fix this horrible app!

I have a serious love/hate relationship with this app. I like the programming from morning to night, but this app makes me say bad words. A lot! Every single time there’s the slightest interruption to the stream the show cuts out and it’s ad central! Listen to app in car, disconnect from Bluetooth, the show is interrupted by repetitive ads. Lose cell data signal for a second, ad central! Smack in the middle of an interview it does this. I keep hoping for an update. Fix it!!! Seems worse on droid

Fantastic lineup! This is where I go for the truth! The only issue with app is the ad that appears at the beginning cuts off the audio until I hit the x at top right. Not an issue unless I'm using "hands free" in my car. Don't want to miss a thing! I Love America!
