## Review summary

User reviews reveal a pattern of reliability problems and heavy ad load on the 102.5 The Bone app. Frequent crashes and interruptions plague live streams, with pausing, restarts, and pre-roll ads interrupting listening. Replays and seeking are broken, and content updates are inconsistent. The UI is cluttered and sometimes problematic, with verification errors and CarPlay issues mentioned. A few positives remain (podcast section works well; some shows stream on YouTube), but overall users are frustrated and seeking fixes.
