| 2024-08-03 |  | | Good app (and station) but every once in a while i get emails and notifications even though i have them disabled. |
| 2024-04-16 |  | | love this station... it's been my favorite for many years... best music in Grand Rapids..... I just recently picked up the app... I'm guessing it's really good to have when you're kind of on the go... personally for me the station has been an eye-opener to a lot of the great new music that's coming out... just in the past couple of years I learned about bands that I never knew about and I learned about them by listening to terrestrial radio so it was kind of like wow who was that, so it's great. |
| 2023-01-27 |  | | This app is stupid, they don't even tell you where to go to enter any of the "be the blank caller" to win tickets. I don't recommend downloading this if you plan on trying to win anything seems like a major scam. |
| 2021-05-06 |  | | I love this app 100 % of the time but it runs with a huge delay over the air on the radio. You will never have a chance to call in a be picked for stuff the delay is to great. Only part of app I hate. |
| 2020-12-22 |  | | This app is awful. Constantly playing music in the middle of commercial break in the morning, then cuts to the middle of the FBHW segment so I miss half of it. Today it keeps pausing itself and when I press play it takes me back about a minute before it paused. Really needs some work. |
| 2020-08-28 |  | | I hate the "initial ad" that plays before the stream starts. Why? Every time I get any activity on my phone, such as a call, notification, momentary network interruption, etc, the stream stops, but does not restart again. I have to hit pause, then play. Boom. 30 second ad triggered. I'm missing the show. This only happens about ten times an hour. Lately, it's always Kelly reading a spot for Service Professor, who I now despise. The app ad makes the show unlistenable, pushing away customers. |
| 2020-03-19 |  | | This app stops repeatedly on my phone. If the screen times out or runs in the background it stops. Unusable. |
| 2020-03-16 | | | The alarm clock feature is cool. However, besides going off at the time I set, I also goes off at random other times. Annoying. Update-Developer replied to review on 8/13/19. As of 3/15/20, still no response to my email. |
| 2020-03-04 | | | I only use this to listen to FBHW, probably going to use something else in the near future. This app is terrible as far and the audio streaming. It frequently stops playing, pauses or keeps playing songs in the commercial break and you miss half of the next segment. Plays the same song(s) during commercials (the same two for a day, then two more equally crappy songs alternated the next day). FIX IT!!! |
| 2020-02-28 | | | The app is almost as bad as the station. The only reason I even listen is for Free Beer and Hotwings. The app frequently cuts out, will go over on commercials so that the show is missed. Garbage app from a garbage radio station |
