User Reviews

Reviews show a mix of stability and UX issues overshadowing the app's benefits. Users praise the updated visual design and ease of listening to radio, and some appreciate the new features. However, recurring crashes, frequent notification prompts, weak story findability, loading problems from external ads, and lack of landscape support on iPad are common complaints. Traffic updates can be outdated, and some content appears outside the app. Overall, the app has improved visuals and audio handling but remains prone to stability, navigation, and content-loading frustrations.

Pros

Updated visual design in the latest update (v3.0.0)
Easy to listen to the radio / improved audio experience
App update includes new features that users appreciate

Cons

Frequent crashes and playback interruptions (white screen on launch, app stops, restarts during listening)
Overbearing or irrelevant notification prompts (requests to enable notifications)
Difficulty finding stories / weak search and navigation (hard to locate current news)
Ads and external links interfere with loading / articles load outside the app
Portrait-only on iPad / no landscape support (orientation limitation)

This happened been a regular part of my morning routine for years. Recent iOS update now cause the app to display a white screen for a few seconds, and then close itself out. iPhone 6 updated to 12.5.8. Worked beautifully through 12.5.7
