User Reviews

Users praise the Philly sports coverage and host lineup but report serious reliability and ad-related issues that disrupt listening. The app is strong in content but hampered by crashes, heavy ad loads, and limited on-demand access.

Pros

Engaging Philly sports coverage with a strong, authentic host lineup (including Mikey Miss back and Unfiltered).
Trusted source for real Philly sports updates; fans rely on it from various locations.
Shows are entertaining and informative, with passionate discussions.
Positive note on specific hosts (e.g., Sylvanna) and the overall energy of the station.

Cons

Frequent app crashes, freezes, and stopping playback causing unreliable streaming.
Intrusive, frequent ads that play at startup and during shows, sometimes before AirPlay, interrupting listening.
Ads interfering with AirPlay and volume controls (e.g., cannot lower volume without reloading).
Lack of on-demand access for all shows; desire for more on-demand content.
General performance issues and reliability concerns (slow connections, download reliability).

An ad to start each time so I can then listen to the ads every 10 minutes on the show and if I don’t want to listen to them and put on music and go back I then have to listen to another ad.
