Many reviewers label the app a scam or fraud, noting money was spent for no returns and urging removal from the App Store. A few reviews mention outdated or missing radio schedules and data, resulting in inaccurate or no current information. At least one later review notes a fix, but the prevailing sentiment remains that the app is not usable.
