Ratings and reviews

Opening screen has more ads for others services than access to actually listening to the radio. 2026 version is worse than earlier versions.

Terrible, it's nice to be able to watch the shows, but having to use the app is almost not worth it. Half the time it doesn't even start, then the screen will just stay blue. Also logging in took me 5 tries, as it just didn't work. The "next episode" button is not there and it is not easy to find the next episode, you have to look it all up again for every new episode you want to watch. Casting also works for 1 ep, but the app has to be restarted as it disconnects after every episode.

This app is super frustrating... The videos lag constantly, if you close the app then open it again you need to close the entire app, find the same program, wait for it to load and skip to where you left off if you want to continue watching. You're better off just watching it on your browser, at least then you can have a minimized window and properly watch it. Also, when your phone goes from wifi to mobile data for a second, the program is "not available anymore", which means another restart.
