SportsDay TALK w/ The Ticket

As a P1, it hurts me to write this, but this app has taken a sharp turn into becoming useless. The stream has become intermittent for no good reason at times — limited service or good service (all bars, wifi). This applies to the replay/rewind feature too. I’ve tried to replay or rewind to catch a segment numerous times in the past 3 months, and all it does is display “BUFFERING”… and never resumes the broadcast. If The Ticket is going to continue to pursue this app partnership, then they should put some decent engineers on this thing. Especially if they’re going to count on their stream numbers for ratings. This app has frustrated me so much recently that I’ve considered just not listening to my favorite station anymore. I’d like to listen to “Muse in the News” live, not just keep my fingers crossed that it shows up on Spotify’s Top Ten podcast list.

I am a long time P-1 now living in Austin. I have listened to The Ticket through the app for many years. I am also blind and a VoiceOver user on my iPhone. Thank you very much for the accessibility improvements in the latest update. Before, many of the buttons in the now-playing screen were not labeled properly and there was no way for me to close that screen except by closing and re-opening the app. I also appreciate the other improvements to the main app screen, since it takes half the number of swipes for me to navigate the Dallas Morning News sports headlines. I'm not sure how many other people with disabilities who use accessibility features contacted you, but coming from a dedicated Ticket listener, I'd like to express my appreciation for these updates. Please let me know if I can help in any way to make the app more usable by the blind. Thanks for your time.

I’m running iOS 13.x on an iPhone 11 Pro. App is okay for streaming the Ticket but isn’t polished and kinda buggy. The UI isn’t real good. An extra step or even two to start the stream. For me the play and rev/fwd buttons are shoved too far to the bottom. When you pause from outside the app and try to resume, it takes at least two attempts and even then sometimes doesn’t work. That’s been going on for multiple versions. When it does happen, I have to go into the app and about 20% of the time end up getting an error on resuming; I have to reboot the app. I would only recommend if you don’t have a 3rd party streaming app that you like.
