Used to be great, now it’s terrible
Why did you ruin an app that worked well? 9 times out of 10, the Listen Now doesn’t work because it gets stuck on the Message from our sponsors and won’t play anything. It’s almost useless. I will say, the 1 time out of 10 tries when it does play, it has my favorite feature which is to pause and rewind the livestream. Which your competitor across town doesn’t have in their app.

Pop-Up Ads
A few hours after installing, this app, which represents non-profit, non commercial radio, displayed a spammy pop-up ad from one of their sponsors. I’m deleting this app now.
