## Review summary

Fans value KNBR's SF sports coverage and Giants broadcasts, but the app is plagued by intrusive ads and unstable streaming. Reviewers report long ad blocks, mid-play interruptions, startup ads, and ads that cover controls, plus frequent buffering, pauses, crashes, and unreliable background playback. Some listeners face regional restrictions. Overall, content quality is praised, but reliability and ad experience drive most dissatisfaction.
