SportsDay TALK w/ The Ticket

Huge plus: you can listen to the Ticket on your phone. Even go back an hour, which is brilliant. Major problem: the ads in the picture box (where you see the pictures of the hosts) are auto playing and cutting off the stream. And if I minimize the app, then the stream stops. I can’t do anything else on my phone.

Why do you have an app that features a radio stream that consistently interrupts the stream with audio ads. It’s getting worse.

This app has updated and is now complete garbage. It turns off, stops playing when you switch to another app or click your iPhone screen off. No multitasking here. It won’t play in the background.

As you try to jam more and more digital or app ads into the stories it is becoming unreadable with lock ups and exits.

Bad enough that you get an ad when you start the stream, regardless of its in the middle of a segment, but sometimes you get a random video ad. And still no full show podcasts in 2024.

Since the most recent update the app crashes and never comes out of buffering. This has beeen going on for over a week. I have to uninstall and reinstall the app to correct the issue. Very annoying.

Until they inserted ads when opening the app. I’ll open the app while listening in the background and an ad will pop up that silences the stream until it allows me to close it.

Not sure why the sub-5 star reviews…if you are a P1 this seems to be the best way to listen. You can pause the live show(s) then fast forward and/or rewind. Plus the bonus…there are NO ADS like most radio apps. I give it the Hot Fry Georgie App of the week!

Only reason I downloaded was the ticket, but now that has become difficult to listen too. DMN has lost almost all of its journalistic integrity. Avoid!

New ways to show ads that don’t work. Also, chipping away at the quality of the hosts over time.
