| 2024-12-09 |  | | Connection issues have been fixed, audio quality is very good - very pleased in those regards! Still has some connection issues on edge cases (transition from wifi to data and reconnecting after a rare drop) but the app is drastically improved since the latest update! Navigation could still use some fine tuning... but being able to listen to college sports radio for free is phenomenal! |
| 2024-11-03 |  | | for a while the app has been unusable with streams breaking after a couple minutes leading to a very frustrating listening experience having to force close the app and restart the stream. But they finally fixed the bugs and everything works great! I've been a big proponent of the idea behind this app, so it's nice to see it finally become usable on android. If you tried the app before but gave up due to the bugs (valid), give it another shot now! |
| 2024-11-01 |  | | Wow! Finally! Thank you Eric, Ben, and whomever else has a hand in fixing the app. The update that just came through is awesome. The app looks great, it's easy to find what you want, and it looks more modern for sure! ... But most importantly, it works! The stream didn't quit 3 minutes in like it has been since the spring. My only complaint is, after all these years, the advertisement feature works and I've got to wait a few seconds before I can start the stream. Great work, learfield et al! |
| 2024-10-20 |  | | Absolutely awful. The app constantly shuts down on its own. My football team scored a 71-yard TD and I missed it because the app quit. It's also dangerous, because then I'm trying to restart the game while I'm driving. Absolutely ridiculous that they can't make a better app! |
| 2024-10-05 |  | | Have historically loved the app, even despite the occasional hiccup in syncing. Trying to stream this week (and going by other reviews, most of 2024) was utterly futile. Audio just cuts and basically never comes back. Unacceptable bug given the purpose of the app. Uninstalled, reinstalled, and should have the updated versio , but audio still cuts shortly after the screen locks. Other streaming apps (YT, YTTV, Podcasts, etc) do not have this issue. |
| 2024-10-05 |  | | If you have an android device and want to actually listen to the game, skip the app and stream from the website. The website stream has fewer random interruptions and is faster/easier to restart when there are interruptions. Or go find another app. Seriously, the random, frequent (steam doesn't continue for 5 minutes) stream interruptions have been happening for months, maybe a year at this point. Despite multiple app updates, this known Android issue has not been addressed. |
| 2024-09-30 |  | | This app worked well for me for several years, but recently streaming frequently stops for no apparent reason and has to be restarted. Sometimes the only way to restart the stream is to close and reopen the app. Since this problem started a few months back, I have reinstalled the app a couple of time but the problem reoccurs. Yesterday, while trying to listen to a game I switched to another app, which worked without interruption for the entire time. |
| 2024-09-29 |  | | Used to be great. Stops playing every few minutes now. Crackling and hard to hear Broadcast. Used to be loud and clear. Have to restart from the beginning to hear my games. Even reset my phone, uninstalled and reinstalled the application and it still shuts off. Wish there the was another program to hear my games so I can dump this lousy one. |
| 2024-09-21 |  | | Keep your usb-c handy, as the only way to keep listening is to keep the page open and don't let your phone sleep. I even have this app set never to sleep in my battery settings. This is not a new problem; nor is it a limited issue as is happening consistently to users. Is there a really great reason it can't be fixed? I think we all would love to know.... |
| 2024-09-09 |  | | Streams stop while listening. Pausing the stream guarantees you will not resume when you in pause, rather you will have to close the app and reopen and wait forever for it to buffer and then decide to stream. Unusable for sports. Paid Tunein instead of using this and it was worth it to not deal with the aggravation |
