User Reviews

Users praise the app for delivering Boston sports radio across shows for free and on the go, with strong content and a sense of home for fans away from New England. However, the app is dogged by a heavy and repetitive ad experience that starts on launch and intrudes during listening, plus several performance issues like buffering, crashes, and occasional freezes. Some complaints note ads intruding into article reading and general UX polish. Overall, content quality is high, but ads and reliability degrade the experience.

Pros

Access to all three shows and entertaining Boston sports talk
Free, portable streaming you can take anywhere on your devices
Feels like being connected to the Boston sports scene even when away
Overall high-quality sports content and entertainment

Cons

Excessive, repetitive advertisements before, during, and after listening
Poor streaming experience due to buffering, crashes, and freezes
Ads also appear as pop-ups while reading articles, degrading UX
Some reliability issues when switching networks or playback controls

Can someone at 98.5 update the app so that it actually works when not on wifi? Also, if my calendar gives me a reminder or my alarm goes off, why do I need to rewatch another add with Felger or whomever each time while I miss actual content from the show?
