Forcing you to listen to ads
This is actually ridiculous. Each time I click on a chapter of a live broadcast I have to listen to multiple minuets of ads. Even if I go to a live show and I want to restart from the beginning, I first have to listen to a few minuets of ads and then when it finally lets me rewind it back to the point I want to go to, I have to listen to more ads. The app was good with not forcing me to waste my time with ads but for some reason recently I've only been getting these ridiculous restarting ad breaks when all I want to do is start the broadcast from the beginning. You should be ashamed of yourselves. The ads I hear are also 100% not the ones the station is running on regular fm radio too. So it's your own ads that you just force onto me. Screw you all. Bunch of terrible people who programmed that into the app. Updating my review because I received a response from the creators of the app. How about you morons read what I wrote. When I click on a CURRENTLY LIVE SHOW, and I want to rewind it to the beginning, YOUR APP FORCES ME TO LISTEN TO MINUETS OF ADS BEFORE I CAN REWIND TO THE BEGINNING. YOUR MESSAGE BACK ON MY REVIEW DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. WHAT A JOKE YOU ARE

Alarm Feature
Sure wish I could find an alarm clock feature, I'd love to be able to wake up to WINS. Every time I google this I get instructions on a sleep timer. I don't want to fall asleep to the news, I want to WAKE UP to it.

App won’t load
The app loads to a blank blue screen. This app is very unstable as well. Listen to your radio on twitch or YouTube if you can.

Radio on the app stops the music and buffers forever. Then, I try to close the app and restart the station, and I get 30 seconds before it cuts out again and makes me listen to another ad. Just listen on a web browser and have no issues.

Audacy is one of the worst apps I have ever used. It can't reliably do its most basic function: playing a radio feed. Most of the time, the audio simply stops after coming back from a commercial break. In the worst cases, the feed crashes so bad that the only way to get it back is to close the app and clear the cache. This has been a long recurring problem over more than a year. I have tried with different phones, including Pixel 7 and Samsung Galaxy S24. The problem is the app.

Replays the same thing too often. It undoubtedly has a small library to choose from.
