## Review summary

Users broadly praise the app for enabling Sharks games on iPhone/iPad and for radio-like audio, easy navigation, and access to pre/post game content. However, reliability is the main issue, with persistent buffering, disconnects, errors, and startup/configuration problems after updates. Compatibility with older devices and intrusive ads also surface as recurring complaints. Overall, strong value for mobile listening exists, but performance and stability need significant improvement.

### Pros

- Allows sharks games to be listened to on iPhone/iPad anywhere (including while traveling)
- Audio quality is good and feels radio-like when the stream is working
- Easy to navigate and use with quick access to content (e.g., contests, pre/post game shows)
- Access to Sharks content beyond live games (pre/post game shows)
- Recent updates show some improvements in stability and reduced buffering in certain versions

### Cons

- Frequent buffering and disconnects; feed cuts out often and requires restarts
- Streaming errors or unavailability messages (e.g., 'live streaming sports coverage isn’t available', 'error') and difficulty finding content at times
- Startup/configuration problems after updates (e.g., can't get past configuring)
- Compatibility issues on older devices (iPad/older iPhone with iOS7) and reliance on Flash
- Ads/video ads loading at startup or before buffering causing failures
