## Review summary

Listeners praise 77 WABC for its strong host lineup and engaging programming, especially Anthony Cumia's show, making the app a valued way to access the station. However, many reviews report ongoing stability problems: streams drop, live feed won’t load, playback loops, and heavy background battery usage. Updates can worsen issues, with some CarPlay/vehicle interruptions noted. Overall sentiment is positive when the app works, but recurring technical problems significantly hinder the experience.

- High-quality, entertaining programming and interviews that fans feel are worth listening to.
- Convenient mobile access to 77 WABC content, making it easy to listen on the go.
- Anthony Cumia Show is a standout draw for many listeners.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and loss of connection; streams drop or fail to load, disrupting playback.
- Live streaming not reliable and often won’t load the live feed, even though podcasts may work.
- Playback can loop or repeat audio segments, causing noticeable interruptions during streams.
- Background activity drains battery significantly, causing faster-than-expected battery depletion.
- Post-update instability and ongoing issues after software updates, sometimes requiring reinstall or rollback (occasional CarPlay/in-vehicle interruptions).
