## Review summary

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
