Reviews for NJ 101.5 - News Radio (WKXW)
The Great Geep
Difficult to use + All Ads
When you open the app it opens to an ad. If you wish to stream you have to wait through an ad. When steaming they still play the on-air ads. If you want to maneuver around the app at all, be ready to sit through an ad. Developers of this app and the team at Nj 1015 should go to Audacy and see how a radio app can prioritize the user experience and still cater to advertisers.

Too many ads and bugs
The number of ads makes the app almost impassible to open. It can take nearly a full minute just to open. Attempting to skip ahead, whether using the 30-second skip button or dragging the timeline, often causes the app to jump to the next episode instead of moving within the one I’m listening to. These two issues alone make the experience extremely frustrating. On top of that, ads have now been added to on-demand content. I specifically use on-demand to avoid the commercials in live programming, so having to deal with them here as well is very disappointing. Overall this app gets a D+
