User Reviews

98.5 The Sports Hub app provides live sports radio and popular shows with generally good stream quality and multi-device support. However, users commonly report frequent crashes, playback interruptions, forced video ads requiring the screen be on, poor UI navigation, and issues with pausing or resuming streams. The live stream often defaults to previous broadcasts or podcasts, causing frustration. Despite great content, many users find the app unstable and annoying to use due to these technical and usability issues.

this App has gone way downhill over the years. I have to watch a video Ad and then listen to another Ad before I'm able to get to the broadcast. And then we still hear the regular scheduled Ads between segments. I don't mind the Ads between segments, but forcing a video Ad and another Ad just to get to the programming feels very cheap and is extremely annoying.
