User Reviews

The app is praised for its strong radio programming lineup and content that fans have followed for years. However, users repeatedly report reliability problems, including buffering, crashes, and startup/launch issues. Ad bombardment at startup and during use further diminishes the experience. Some network- and environment-specific issues also affect playback. Overall, the content is valued, but significant improvements in streaming stability, app stability, and ad cadence are needed to satisfy longtime listeners.

Pros

Strong programming lineup and hosts; many reviews highlight Morning Answer and other Salem programs as a key attraction.
When the stream is working, the app delivers the radio content as intended and listeners can reliably hear the station.
Longstanding user base with positive sentiment toward the content; listeners have used it for years and enjoy the programming variety.
24/7 programming coverage and a broad lineup that fans appreciate across different shows and time slots.

Cons

Frequent buffering and playback interruptions across reviews, leading to unreliable listening sessions.
Crashes, freezes, and overall instability; some users report the app won't launch or crashes every few minutes.
Excessive ads at startup and during use, including repetitive ads that disrupt listening and playback.
Reliability issues when switching apps or when the screen sleeps, causing playback to stop or the app to quit.
Network/environment-specific issues (e.g., not working well on certain networks like T-Mobile, or dropping when outdoors) and perceived poor mobile UX.

Recent reviews

While using the app, when the screen goes to sleep so does the app. Also when you go to open any other app, even those that have no sound, the app will quit working. I’ve had to resort to the iHeart radio app to listen on my phone or through a web browser.

This new version is just plain junk. Have listened for years and typically older app was reliable, not anymore. This version crashes every 5-10 minutes. Useless.

I’ve been using this app in my car for years and years, griping and complaining because of the constant buffering, if it loads at all. I’ll listen to the Morning Answer on the way to my car, but when I get there, it buffers, and buffers, and buffers, and…MANY mornings I have to turn my phone off and start over, hoping it’ll load. I have to do all my settings before I go to the app because doing all that makes it buffer, and buffer, and… I’m on my 3rd car, so it’s not that. No other app gives me this headache. Now, as I read the reviews, that go back 10 years, that say the same thing makes it clear that Salem could care less about fixing anything. Salem, do better!
