Clown Show. This app used to give real news, now every other article is biased nonsense by their "writers". What a shame you have fallen in line with the rest of the media outlets. Be more original

Best talk show radio station that I have ever listened to. Every hour different topics and I m going to nickname for myself this station " Truth & Honest". Love everyone especially Bill Spadea.

NJ101.5 horrible after HARD Right move. I used to enjoy this app until it got political and leaned hard right with their politics. I was looking for non political articles, reporting, but it's horrible now. Just report the weather, traffic, uplifting articles, current events. Leave the political nonsense to the political apps. It's a turn off with the politics. The ads have been heavy and are getting heavier, it brings in revenue but the volume uses up memory.

The app is pretty reliable I use it to stream the station to Florida. The few things that would be nice to have that works for other streaming apps. When the stream is interrupted by a phone call restart the stream when the call ends. When the stream is paused the controls at the bottom of the screen don't always work to restart the app. In some cases the ad at the bottom of the screen changes the position of the play button which is awkward.

Try to read news on mobile app and you get blocked by ad telling you to download mobile app repeatedly 8 times, not finished reading yet. Tried sending email, x out additional reminders, and have to prove not robot, clicking on pics and clicking on x again and disappeared. Oh well, tried to call, got machine, did as instructed, got same machine recording. Too annoying, listen to on radio all the time but ready to delete app

Love this app! I love that I can listen to Bill Spadea at any time I want. I listen to his podcasts. I agree with everything he says about anything! He has excellent ideas and opinions about many topics, especially about our government and our terrible president and governor. I also like that I can tune into their live station on the radio, right on my phone, without needing a radio. Very convenient and informative. I get all of my news from this app, and station.

Shuts off during ads,then you have to hit play button again several times. Someone you have to close and open again, Frustrating. July 2022 app keeps stopping, especially when they go to commercial, weather or traffic. Then you have to click play to start again. Then it stops during a show, click play, repeats about 3 minutes of what you just heard and stops again. If I were an advertiser I would get my money back and cancel. You would think a media company would know how to fix this.

I love your show. But I am old fashioned and bought a radio that isn't loud enough to hear you when I go to sleep. 😴 So I guess there is something else that I need to buy as well. I love all your contests and program. The station is also very helpful when it comes to information and all that good stuff.

Update: The on demand shows are working again, but not all episodes. However its a major improvement compared to all not working. Hopefully the rest of past episodes work again soon, when the app works, its the best!! It keeps my long hours overnight as entertaining as it can get! Thank you!!!

When up and running,, it's about a 4-starvrating. Now,, 2 stars bc when it works it works but besides the very long ad upon opening, it keeps telling me to update and there's no way to get passed that pop-up. When update is selected, nothing happens. When uninstalled and reinstalled, the same issue occurs. Please fix!
