Ratings and reviews

Updated (2->5; wasn't the app) Something has changed in the past month. Every two minutes or so, the radio feed cuts out.. the play/stop icon becomes a spinning circle. If I get the phone out of my pocket and get to the app in time, the feed resumes with content missed. But if I don't get to the app, the feed stops. EDIT, Found some power settings in Android. App had been set as "Restricted". Unset that property and streaming now does not cut out. So 5 stars, as love this station.

The app has significant downsides. It frequently cuts out when casting to Google Nest speakers and lacks a pause or rewind function, making it hard to re-listen to segments or save favorites. The app also doesn’t allow you to replay old shows, and the track playing doesn’t display on a TV Chromecast. Current reviews appear overly positive, and it seems like the app might be intended for simple Bluetooth streaming instead? Overall, it's pretty basic and needs serious improvements.

used to be a good app, now cuts out constantly at least every 5 minutes to play that god damn on the beach advert. I get you have to play adverts but not half way through a song or when Chris Evans is talking, I'm very close to deleting this app and find another station to listen to
