1. 3/5Love it but hate it right now

   I’ve been using this app every day since it came out and have loved it. I listen no matter where I go, even to Nicaragua! Like having a little bit of Jersey with me. But the app has become unbearable. I think it’s “shuffling” of commercials has led to it becoming very unreliable. When I first started using the app I had no trouble, recently it needed minor prompting from me to keep going (opening the app and then it would get through it’s buffer). Now I hear one commercial and it gets stuck buffering. I can’t listen anymore. I’ll keep checking back to see if it’s improved, but for now I guess I’m off to another station...

2. 1/5Too many issues

   As other reviewers have said, the current ap has much to be desired with respect to integrating commercials with programming. I’ve contacted the station a few times and was assured they were working on it. One small example is when I try to listen to the station before 6 am (I usually turn it on at 545) most of that time is filled with commercials. Each time I open the ap I have to listen to one of 2 really long commercials. Then at least 4 short commercials follow. This never changes. It wastes time and it won’t even let me blank out my screen because if I do it shuts down And I have to hear it all over again. It’s frustrating and I find myself not wanting to tune in at all. It’s probably time to move on. I don’t need this first thing in the morning when all I want to hear is traffic, weather, and news.

3. 2/5Disappointing

   Love 101.5... listen everyday. But already listen to too many ads on air... Harry’s razors, solar, csi group. Gets very old very fast. Now I have to listen to more ads on the app. I’d rather switch and pay for satellite radio than continue to listen to commercials every 10 minutes. Radio station used to be so great years ago. This app was a good attempt but again I can’t stand the constant ads. Lots of loading time, lots of crashes. =( Will give it a few more tires but unlikely to keep the app unless the commercial / ad nonsense is removed. =\

4. 1/5Rather poke out my eyes with dull needle dipped in acid.

   Love my 101.5 crew, hate the app. I’ve noticed improvements but more ads all over the place. I’d rather be charged .99 for the app and no ads than to be bombarded with ads all over the place. Opening pages to direct me to the ads and have to fight to get back to the content I was trying to find. I removed the app and I listen through I heart radio. When I want to listen to them on my phone. On another note being part of a media conglomerate can the listeners please get music from this decade or even the past decade? with all ad money being generated it surly can be done. Friday and the weekends are literally the same music my grandfather took with him to his grave.

5. 1/5Too 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+
