Crashes and streams don't work a lot of the time. Easier to just use the website from your phone. Update September 2024: Still absolutely terrible. Streams don't work randomly and app crashes. Please get a new app developer. Update February 2025: Have a brand new phone and the app still crashes, fails to stream, or buffers constantly.

Excellent

Every time I open the app it always starts at the start of advertisements. Never in the middle of them, or never at the start or midway through a song. This is likely by design and I don't like it. No issues aside from that.

For one of the best music stations in the world the app is laughable. It fails to load any content half the time and randomly stops after pausing playback the other half. They should consult with Spotify.

This app crashes. I use it to listen to Henry Rollins and Dan Wilcox. It functions mostly if you don't touch the app. But if you pause it, or if you exit the app and come back to it, it crashes. Worse, it doesn't remember where in the show you were, so you have to scroll till you find it. And the scroll function doesn't work all that well, either. Ultimately, this is a pretty-looking yet flawed app. As far as sound quality, there is noticeable compression on the drums. Kind of sad, actually.
