Philadelphia’s AM 990

The app is frustrating. At least once a week I have to delete and re-download it for not opening

Old version was clunky but at least it worked most of the time. New version is absolute TRASH. The stream stops after 10 minutes. Tried deleting and reinstalling, phone restarted - nothing helps.

Can’t even listen as it stays in buffering mode. When video commercial plays, you click on “X” to close but it opens the link to the commercial anyway. If you can actually get to listen to a show, a commercial will randomly come on during the middle of the host talking. I’m stopping listening because of these issues and until the app is fixed.

The stream cuts out and buffers constantly. Very frustrating. Needed to find other content to stream. Rubbish!

Pop up ads on top of pop up ads. Spammy ads that try and trick users into clicking instead of closing. Little regard for usability especially if someone is driving. Don’t drive and use this app. It requires your undivided attention to navigate this mess. Audio problems where it’s playing ads and show at the same time. Podcast titles are out of sync with what is playing. The list goes on. There seems to be very little QA going on.

The pre-roll ads now sport close buttons that can appear anywhere on the screen and in different shapes and styles. One recent one had a very tiny X button in the corner. I use the app when driving, so hunting for close buttons that are in unknown places and look different each time, is an unsafe distraction while driving. The tiny buttons are even worse: I don’t wear my reading glasses while driving, so finding the tiny buttons is a pain. Add to that the ease of slightly missing the tiny button, which means opening an ad in my browser, closing that, switching back, only to repeat, is frustrating besides. Starting the app before driving can help, but the app also gets stuck at times when I lose signal. After my signal returns, the app often gets stuck buffering. The only fix in such cases is to restart the app, which means dealing with the dangerous ads again.

I remove my wired ear pods from my iPad and I have to listen to more commercials, the app buffers and I have to listen to more commercials…..Very frustrated

Please fix -- don't you want listeners?

Stop forcing my iPad to the App Store to download apps for your advertisers.

Doesn't work
