I absolutely love listening to this; especially on the road or my runs but it does need some adjustment. 1st - it won’t resume playing after I get an alert or some other pop up. Especially when I’m using a running app in the background. I have to slow down or even walk to restart the music playing. 2nd - the buttons are two low and hard to hit. I have to focus on exactly what I’m hitting as it won’t let me hit the buttons with out trying to “swipe up” the screen. 3rd - it would be great to see what is playing on the Lock Screen. And maybe a previous/next song. Fox these and I could easily give it a 5 Star! I only have it 4 instead of 3 because it’s one of the few apps that play without freezing up and gives me the ability to switch between Christian Genre depending on my needs! Please fix these and soon!!

Update: The developers contacted me about my review. They said they were incorporating more old stuff. They also said they have something for older stuff Saturdays for it. I might try it in the future. Original review: This app caught my attention because I love Christian hard rock/metal. At first use, I thought it was okay—as it went on, however, I noticed that they would play the same songs a few hours later after they had played it a few hours previously. I then noticed that this was the regular way they did this. I kept the app after this realization, seeing if they would mix it up—they didn't. My main problem with this app is that I think it's too limited. I think it needs WAY more older stuff, (E.G., older Disciple, Skillet, etc.) They did play some older things, but they were few and far between. I understand that you need to play new stuff, but not everyone likes the new stuff (raises hand.) I think they should mix it up a few days a week with older stuff. (When I say older stuff, I mean Disciple's Back Again, By God, etc., and Skillet's Collide, etc.) Overall, I give this app three stars. Too limited.

This review is of the app not the radio station it plays. Like the previous reviewer mentioned the app doesn't give you music info on the home screen, you can't play/pause with your headphone controls. The UI is hard to use as the buttons are under the area you use to switch apps on iPhones with Face id (most iphones any more). And the interface is poorly designed, switching radio stations, playing and pausing and so on could be all immediately available on the main interface. Lastly the app no longer is working for me, it just won't play the radio stations 99% of the time even though the stream on the website works fine.
