User Reviews

Users love 949 The Surf for its authentic beach music, nostalgic programming, and reliable streaming that enhances everyday activities. Longtime listeners cherish its DJs and playlists that evoke a beach atmosphere. However, several users report technical issues such as frequent app stoppages, compatibility problems with newer devices, and inconvenient UI changes like removal of easy access tiles. Streaming interruptions and the app failing to keep the phone awake during use also detract from the overall experience. Despite these, the station's music and community remain highly valued.

Programming, especially on Sunday mornings, is well-received
Useful for streaming the station anywhere, like in cars, homes, and even during yard work

Cons

App compatibility issues on some devices (e.g., Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus)
App unexpectedly stops playing after a few minutes or quits playing after some time
App updates have removed convenient features like the home screen tile, making access less straightforward
App does not keep the phone awake during playback, causing interruptions
Streaming problems including 'blackout' mode errors that prevent playback

Recent reviews

I love this station. Listen in the car, at home and at the beach of course. The problem is that it does not keep my phone awake. Permission is set to unrestricted. Tried adding to never sleeping apps, but not in list. If anyone knows how to fix, I would appreciate. Thanks.
