Ratings and reviews

App sucks. We used to play the music videos from the Breeze dedicated tv channel. That got stopped. So tuned in direct via the website and played the Breeze music videos via that. Now that has gone and we are sent to the Rova App, which does nothing well and cannot even find the music videos. I hate to think how much someone got paid for building the piece of rubbish that is the Rova app, but I you should be asking for a refund, I will get my music from spotify now, costs $s but lt works

Utter rubbish and support email never, ever replies (why bother having one?) Latest issues: Some shows you could use to browse have now disappeared from the app (eg. Grant Marshall), now only available on the website. But the most ridiculous issue is you must have a data connection to open the app. This means you can't access podcasts and shows you've already downloaded (eg. saved on your device) unless you have a signal. So poorly thought out and a total disservice to all the awesome shows.

The app is good to a certain point no ad interruptions which is absolutely brilliant, the down fall when my screen turns off the app stops 😮☹️😞 & I have to keep unlocking my screen to start the app again, the biggest downfall of the app. Can you add the option of keeping the app open while the screen is off or adding a widget to keep it open. Or allow the app to open over other apps, etc ? That would make it flawless, especially for those who listen to all the stations while abroad.
