I love the folk alley music but the app has some issues that don't appear when I use sonos. The app doesn't show the current song, it takes a long time to load, and crashes frequently.

Love the app and the music; member stream still seems to repeat more than I expected - maybe I just listen to it too much ; )

Great music but the app needs improvement. Stops the music for a few seconds anytime you change cell towers or when moving from one wifi zone to the next. Ruins the music with the constant stops and starts. Pity, great music just wish they would improve the app so it was usable. By the way Spotify Never Ever stops under the exact same conditions.

Interesting mix. I bonded with the Celtic music. Broad range of folk music.

Love the Folk Alley experience, and the app streams reliably, but there's two issues with the app. First the display of the currently playing song & artist often will not update, even after a number of songs, and it's otherwise difficult to find the info (playlist at that time} after the fact, so I'm often missing who played. And if there could be a way to stream at a lower bitrate option for us data deprived users... Thanks!
