User Reviews

Users appreciate the 97X Tampa Bay app for contests, event updates, and staying connected to the station from outside the broadcast area. However, multiple users report persistent issues with streaming audio quality and app stability, including failure to play music and loading problems. Privacy concerns arise due to the app's permissions requests. Additionally, long commercial breaks and redirects to external browsers detract from the user experience. Recent updates have improved functionality, but streaming reliability remains a key concern.

Pros

Great source for contests and chances to win prizes.
Provides up-to-date information on concerts, events, and artists in the Tampa Bay area.
Allows users to listen to their favorite radio station outside the broadcast area.
Easy to keep track of favorite artists and station happenings through the app.
Functional and smooth performance after recent improvements.

Cons

Streaming quality is poor and music often does not play or connect properly.
App crashes or fails to load, making it unusable for listening.
Excessive permissions requested, such as mic and location access, causing privacy concerns.
Long commercial breaks before music starts, especially frustrating for non-local listeners.
Some features redirect to external browsers instead of being integrated in-app.

Recent reviews

I know 97X is kind of going away slowly. But in the meantime, they should have an option on the app to have better streaming quality. Current quality is not that great, and on the radio, it's even worse.

After the recent station change, I downloaded the app to listen along. And it never loads. It will have a screen with the logo and a play button, occasionally the current song by name, but pressing play will have something load for half a sec and revert to a play button. Haven't gotten it to work once. It's dangerous to use in anything that moves and does not work with voice control. May have to emo break up from this station.
