User Reviews

Overall, the app provides convenient access to WRIF and the Dave & Chuck the Freak show, with good sound quality and simple navigation. However, users repeatedly report instability: frequent crashes and playback stops, trouble resuming where they left off, and streams that won’t restart. Ads are the major pain point—long, duplicate, and sometimes loud, often interrupting live content. Additional issues include dropped connections, buffering, and occasional mismatched live days. While the show remains a strong draw and the listening experience is convenient, reliability and ad frustration significantly detract from the app.

Pros

Sound quality is top notch.
This app is simple and intuitive.
Great for listening to WRIF anywhere, including hometown content.
Dave and Chuck the Freak presence is a strong draw on the app.
Best app on iPhone hands down.

Cons

Frequent crashes or playback stops and difficulty resuming where you left off; streams won't restart.
Excessive ads: long, duplicated, and sometimes loud, often interrupting live content.
Streams frequently drop, buffering, or fail to start; connection issues.
Inconsistent live content (shows on the wrong day) and general reliability concerns.

Recent reviews

The app is more ads than radio. Hit Play: Pop-up ad Hit Play: Pop-up Commerical Hit Play Again: Multiple full length commercials By the time you actually hear the show it’s been 10 mins. Now the app has started failing and stops playing (on purpose?) so you have to start all over every 45 mins or so.

This app glitches out all the time. I listen to the archived pod casts and it frequently just shuts down. If I connect to my vehicle drive, run in and then go to listen again, the app just closes and I have to start over. It may be editing but there is commonly repeat overlapping. Sometimes the app doesn’t respond at all. I’ve updated my phone, no change. Poor quality application.

Overall this app is ok. Except when the show will stop and it will randomly play a commercial. If you loose connection and reconnect almost immediately, another commercial. I would understand this is how they make revenue, but I don’t want to be listening to Dave and Chuck and the app interrupts the show with a stupid commercial. Or when you join the app and the show is going on but you have to wait for a commercial to finish and miss what was going on. I usually just close out the app and listen to my music. Do better Beasley.
