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.

2026-08-23	ar*****	The app constantly shuts off after about 30 seconds. Here it is 8/16/22 and they've managed to make the app even worse. The alarm function is gone. The sleep timer was taken away but seems to been added again. It still loads like a dog. Good luck.

2026-08-20	Ro*****	Constantly crashes, interrupts content. Ads play over and over and over. Same ad content every single break. They couldn't provide a more painful listening experience for the audience. Congratulations Audacy. This is me leaving for a competing streaming app.

2026-08-07	Pa*****	Drops about once a half hour. Other radio apps I have that play the same station do not have this problem. Really unstable and frustrating to use. Not recommended.

2026-08-06	Jo*****	app cuts out constantly. I work with gloves on, so this app actually costs me money when I have to remove my gloves and mess with my phone to get the app going again. None of my other streaming apps, including Tunein radio, cut out like Audacy. I get 20-25 minutes tops before it cuts out. sometimes it's only 5 mins. It would be a good app if it didnt cut out, but as it is, it's unacceptable. Edit: I asked AI and they said it crashes because it's a poorly designed app.
