660 AM The Answer

It seems, especially on Mondays, that bugs surface and I have to go to their website to listen. Maddening!

The app can’t be controlled by the pull down player on my phone or the controller on my watch anymore. I have to go into the app to push pause or play. Also, it doesn’t interact with other apps as well. It seems to stop playing more frequently when I access another app. It also stops playing at seemingly random times (probably not random, but it does it so often that I don’t know what the cause is) I usually listen multiple hours while I work but it’s cutting out so often that I’m not able to listen at work.

I’m been a a radio listener for a long time, and it’s obvious that app developers have not figured out how to write a radio app that works well. Every station that I listen to has the same issues. They constantly cut out and you miss important parts of conversations. It seems that they are unable to seamlessly operate when the input changes such as from WIFI to cellular and vise versa. Sometimes they quit completely and need to be relaunched. This becomes unworkable when running, biking, driving, etc. Also, when they say they’re “buffering” they’re not, because they don’t pickup where they left off. Music apps like Pandora do not have any of these issues. I’ve stopped listening via radio apps; too frustrating.
