Review summary

User reviews show Audacy on Android is plagued by reliability issues: buffering, glitches, crashes, and slow launches. Many report ads that delay listening, occasional background-play problems when switching apps, and controls that don't respond consistently. Android Auto compatibility is a recurring pain point, with several users seeing blank screens or no info. Sign-in friction, including Google sign-in issues and registration prompts, is also mentioned. A smaller portion finds the app useful for specific stations and mobile listening, and some note improvements in a 2026 update.

Pros

Useful for listening to local radio stations and sports talk content.
Mobile listening on the go is possible.
Live streams reportedly work without issues in at least some cases.
Notable improvements in recent updates (e.g., 2026 update).

Cons

Frequent buffering and unreliable playback across devices.
App crashes and instability, including freezing and force stops.
Long, frequent ads interrupt listening.
Android Auto compatibility broken or unreliable (blank screen or no info).
Sign-in/registration friction and Google sign-in not supported.

2026-07-14	Ri*****	Terrible. The most volatile app on my phone. Works when it wants when it wants. Just an update. 5 years later and your app still sucks. Only works well on Home Wifi. The point of the app is to have on the go and it just stops constantly. I only use it for WFAN. WFAN should figure something else out. This app stinks.

2026-07-12	d *****	they cancled The Johnny Dare Morning Show to save cash, removing a Kansas City staple. Only downloaded to listen to his final show, amd the app barely worked. Had to use a VPN to listen to the show online. screw these guys, listen to music anywhere else. They dont deserve your time, money, or storage space for this awful app.

2026-07-04	Br*****	Its a statement about the quality of the Klein Ally show that I am willing to deal with this dumpster fire to listen. Literally the worst, slowest, glitchiest app i have ever experienced, should be 0 stars.
