Super glitchy. Will kick you out of any podcast you're listening to if there is an extended pause, change of charge type (car to house), change of network (cellular to WiFi ), or if there is a text, phone call, or any other type notification, etc. The app should buffer enough to retain the last listening time stamp and be able to restart at that point.
I like the app but I have been having issues with it stopping while traveling. It happens often, in areas where there are not service gaps. I wish this could be fixed....it is impossible to keep hitting the play arrow while driving. Please fix this and I will change to 5 stars. I have a Samsung Galaxy 9 plus...J.
This app was great when first installed. But the past 2 months or so, despite great internet connections/updates as needed, no matter what station/radio personality is on, after about 5 minutes it just buffers for minutes on end, and when/if it comes back on it then it just plays the "filler commercials", (i.e., the show intro and mayo clinic updates, etc.), buffers some more, plays the same exact fillers, rinse, repeat. Its been like this nearly every single time. I am over it. Uninstalled.
I love this app. Do not get me wrong on that. I think the app could improve. When you pause the stream and do something different on your phone, even if it's just a minute or so the app loses the place that you paused it at and have to find the place where you were at. Please fix that and I'll give you a full 5
I appreciate your timely reply!! Yes, the drop rate has declined, but not completely. I am grateful and use "TalkRight" daily for years now. It is precisely because the value I place on this app. that I seek a solution to this drop and long connect wait time resolved. For now, I will use a cell tower connection exclusively. Possibly run the same app. on two devises simultaneously. One on WIFI, the other on a cell tower in hope of further narrow the issue... RS-Orlando.
This is a great app! Access to some settings will make it a solid 5 star app! There needs to be an option to use a dark background, the white background is a battery drainer, and an option to set buffering time. As it is, the app buffers too much. Samsung Galaxy J7 US Cellular android 8.1
It use to be five stars but last two months it drops out. You have to constantly restart the show. Today twenty times in a half hour. It's not my network or wifi as other streaming apps work just fine. I re installed it and got no connection at all. Too bad, this was one of my favorite radio agregates.
It's a great application the only reason that I didn't give it five stars is because when you open another app that has sound on it when you push play it doesn't play so you have to go back to where all of the talk radio shows are offered and then click on the one you were listening to again
Had to change review after using app. App stops all the time for unknown reasons. When you open it to get back to the conversation you were listening to, they jam a 30 second commercial in to make sure you miss the point of the conversation. Great idea, terribly executed.
Great app except it uses up massive battery power even after you shut it down. After use every time I have to go into my apps and end the app. If I don't do this it will put it into sleep mode and then it won't play when the screen is locked.
It was not my Wi-Fi. It was the app. It would actually close for no reason. It didn't just buffer. I don't use Wi-Fi. I use my cell phone service. So don't blame the Wi-Fi. I'm closing and I have to keep reopening. Appreciate
Ok, this guy won't tell you but I figured it out. If you don't have your phone plugged in, the live feed will drop when your screen times out. But if its plugged in, it will remain on all day. He'll blame your phone and stop returning your messages. I love the app though, you need to figure out the pattern to keep it on.
Same thing for me. Didn't realize it had to do with the screen time out feature on my android phone. So I switched to another app called TalkStream Live but it does the same damn thing. There is another app I found called Talk Right (but a different icon) which does right of center Pod Casts. It works okay, but it isn't live. I gave it 3 stars only because it USED to be great. No more!
It's a great app in many ways. I wish Ben Shapiro showed up more often in the options. My only complaint is the commercials. Each program recycles through the same 7 commercials. I get sick of then pretty quick. Is there any way to change it up?
Just downloaded it today, but so far, it is great! Has a great list of personalities, runs smooth (without WiFi), and there is no profile required! I'm just thrilled to find Conservative talk shows and podcasts that are free! College takes all of my money, so thank y'all for this!
I'm only changing my review cause you're not believing the other reviewers. The app drops out a lot and when it (finally) reconnects it has to run an ad first so a quick drop out and I miss 30 - 45 seconds of a show. After this happens several times in a row its not even worth listening to anymore and I just shut it down. Very frustrating to say the least.
