User Reviews

Users praise the River app for its classic rock focus and useful features like last-played data and song alerts, plus remote listening. However, recurring issues include instability and connectivity problems, limited music variety with repeated tracks, removal of key iOS controls, and occasional feature malfunctions (alerts, forms/logins). Overall, the app is valued but stability and feature implementation need improvement.
Pros
  • Strong classic rock catalog and artist variety
  • Easy to use app interface
  • Ability to see last played songs / track history
  • Alerts for favorite songs are a valued feature
  • Remote listening across home, car, and other locations
Cons
  • Unreliable connectivity and frequent slow-internet errors or crashes across devices
  • Music variety is perceived as repetitive with many songs cycling
  • Essential controls (volume and Control Center/Apple Watch) missing after iOS updates
  • Alerts don't always work reliably for all users
  • Broken contest submission form and some flows (e.g., login overlays) cause frustration

They straight up lie about the "win 1000" contest. The submit form was broken and then just disappeared. Absolute waste of time.

I have been trying to access the 97.1 app for several days using my iPad by clicking on the app or even trying to go through I-Heart radio without any success. I’ve even tried the website, no luck. Any other stations I try work. Alexa tells me she can’t connect. Are you having system issues? Please help…

Great station…and was listening to it every day. However, I now keep getting a “slow internet” error. I have no problems with my other radio apps. This is happening on multiple devices, multiple internet connections (different locations with high speed, 4g, 5G). If it would work, would be 5*s
