Newest version
Update: sent a message to the developers and they made some changes and they actually continued to give me periodic updates on the progress. They’ve since fixed the issue of having to continually delete and reload the app when it freezes up. Fingers crossed that it stays this way. Thank developers for listening.
I’ve really enjoyed having this app so don’t take my 1 star review the wrong way. I need to listen to traffic in Philadelphia when coming out of South Jersey so I can get the Philly news station that updates traffic reports every 10 minutes. The latest update changed the entire look of the app. Since this last update, I’ve had nothing but issues. I have to reboot my phone, delete the app and reload it just to get it to start working, and even then the options are minimal. It won’t let me get to my favorites. The only thing it will let me do is search for the station I want. Then, if I get a phone call, it pauses like normal, but then I have to go through the process of rebooting and other steps to get it working again. I’m sure I’m not the only one having issues. Please fix the and I will update my review.

A few issues
I only use Audacy to get my favorite sports station and for the most part it’s fine. But I often have issues where randomly every so often the app will go back about a minute maybe in the broadcast and replay what I just heard. At the end of a segment it will sometimes repeat that segment. This may be a CarPlay issue, but when connected to CarPlay it will occasionally stop playing audio while still “playing” the broadcast and I have to usually hit stop and then play to resume audio and maybe have to rewind depending how much I miss. When resuming listening my last listening session, it’s 50/50 whether the app does a new “boot up” and I have to go find the episode I was listening to under recents or it just brings up my last episode and I can just hit play. It does however usually resume where I left off or close to it. My favorite feature, the playback speed button, has been disabled for a few months now. Hopefully that comes back sooner rather than later so I can shorten my listening segments a bit.
And this may be a CarPlay issue but it would be nice to have a chapter skip/back button in addition to the 15 second skip/rewind. And the only working button on the general audio screen is the play/pause. Skip/back don’t do anything and there’s no 15 skip.

Acam1223,
Good but frustrating and disappointing.
Please read other reviewers frustrating reviews as of recent (Jan-Apr 2022). I am experiencing the same things as them. Below are a few positive experiences though
I utilize this app because my local sports radio station WFAN 660AM is on it. So even when I’m not in the car, I can listen to my favorite sports talk radio station. The rewind feature is useful if I miss a segment or interview, and having each show upload “segments”as podcast sound bites is useful too so I can catch up later if I want too. What is frustrating is that sometimes this app does not play when the phone screen is locked. This forces me to restart my phone and log out of my account and then back in. Last year I was super excited when I learned that I would be able to listen to the AM radio broadcast of the Yankee game. This is the most frustrating thing….I live within broadcast metro area and sometimes I can listen to the game and sometimes it says I’m “out of the broadcast region” even when I’m listening in a location where it’s worked before. This is a big turn off for me and has me looked for the Yankee radio stream elsewhere. I have the location-service feature turned on, and I’ve even pre-selected the region to see if that would work in the app settings and it doesn’t work. This is extremely frustrating because radio broadcasts should be available no matter the situation.

Pinstriped,
Lots of potential, but frustrating
I use this app primarily to listen to WFAN’s sports talk content. I could listen on the radio, but my schedule makes it more convenient to listen via streaming. I have two main frustrations: 1) is difficulty finding content, like Richard Neer’s Saturday and Sunday broadcasts, on the app. If I use the search feature in the app to search “Richard Neer” or “Neer” nothing comes up. So instead, I have to Google, put in “Richard Neer” and search thru several results to find a link that will bring me to his Audacy content, usually via an Apple podcasts link. This method usually works, but not always, and it’s cumbersome. Frustration number 2 is more serious: the app frequently freezes or drops out, especially at commercial breaks, and if I try to rewind during a delayed stream, the app often takes me to the live station stream, and it’s impossible to go back to find my place. For example, I was listening to Neer interviewing someone this morning, and I tried to hit the “rewind 15 seconds”’button, and it took me to the live stream. I have NO PROBLEM listening to ads - I know the app needs to get revenue somehow. So let us listen to the ads! Instead, when I get to the ads, the app freezes or crashes half of the time. Fix these issues and it goes to 5 stars; as is, it’s too frustrating to rate higher than 2 stars.
Raider Fan 17,
Sleep Timer
I actually really like this app, it allows me to listen to most all of my favorite sports talk radio broadcasts. However just yesterday the app underwent a major upgrade and some format changes, one change that I found particularly disappointing was the removal of the sleep timer. I looked all over for it and could not find it on the app and when I searched Google I found out a decision was made to no longer include a sleep timer in the new format. I personally found this a very nice feature and would often set the timer for one hour at night while I would go to sleep listening to a sports show. I hope the developers of the app would reconsider the alarm/sleep timer portion of the app and add it back in. DJJ
Since I wrote this review the developers have contacted me and advised they are updating the app to include the sleep timer feature, what great customer service, you made this listener feel heard.

Bill__2,
User experience is erratic
Playback is sometimes fine, but other times extremely frustrating. Program playback will sometimes spontaneously stop playing, at a commercial break or just in the middle of a segment. There doesn’t appear to be a discernible pattern as to when or why this happens. When that happens and you hit play to restart, it either will not start at all, or restarts from the beginning. When it decides to restart from the beginning even though you just want playback to continue from where it spontaneously stopped, the playback timeline incorrectly shows you’re restarting at the point it froze. Very aggravating. Also, sometimes the timeline slider will not allow you to move it at all. When that happens you have to pick a different program, and then go back to the program you’re listening to, or sometimes kill and restart the app. In either case you need to make a mental note of where you were in the timeline slider so you can get back to the right place after restarting the program or the app.
The playback feature is a great feature when it works. When it doesn’t, the behavior it exhibits is very aggravating and is a bad user experience.

Kernel Panik,
Update Add Worse
I never review things. Almost. But this went from 4 stars to 2 as they started forcing ads if I was listening late, behind on a live broadcast or even on demand for my fav station. Can’t even CD hangers try around. Stuck with a pop up saying I can’t switch segments during an ad.
But now down to 1 star. It’s worse in just a week. Got a pop up the other day for an ad survey. I thought maybe they heard all the users’ disdain. But it was just to ask whether to serve my related content ads or just random. I too. Nothing of it. But now I get ads mid show, mid segment. 20 minute segment today. It just paused and went to your ads. Already listening to the station’s broadcast ads. But now I had to wait 2 minutes for ads to now be behind on the live show. Because Audacy made it convenient to pause for me. So I wouldn’t miss anything. But no, worse is that now being 2-3 minutes behind. I tried to just skip ahead with the 15 second button. After 5 presses or so, still behind about 2 minutes. It kicked in 4 more locked ads.
This is outrageous. I’m out and will make sure to highlight the bad app this had become in a short month. No support or recommendations for this in my socials. Shame that you’ve ruined a great app.

But it was just to ask whether to serve my related content ads or just random. I too. Nothing of it. But now I get ads mid show, mid segment. 20 minute segment today. It just paused and went to your ads. Already listening to the station’s broadcast ads. But now I had to wait 2 minutes for ads to now be behind on the live show. Because Audacy made it convenient to pause for me. So I wouldn’t miss anything. But no, worse is that now being 2-3 minutes behind. I tried to just skip ahead with the 15 second button. After 5 presses or so, still behind about 2 minutes. It kicked in 4 more locked ads.

RafaKoy,
Great iPhone radio app, awful CarPlay implementation
I spend at least 3 hours driving daily. This app is the only one compatible with CarPlay that offers 1010 wins, so it was a no brained, but unfortunately the CarPlay implementation is more of a gimmick than anything. Favorite radios should be the first item in the list, that, or show them as icons immediately when opening the app, instead with have to browse trough the screen multiple menus to select a radio. We are driving remember? Where is the usability? The worst thing with this app however is the black screen I get 80% of the time when I touch the app icon on the CarPlay screen, the app works but the screen is empty. The only way I have to start listening to the radio I want is holding the phone and searching for the radio I want trough it, not the screen of CarPlay because there is nothing there. This is infuriating, and not an issue with my phone or car as I thought first. I tested it with my wife and kids iPhones (we all have different models) and our two cars, and it’s always the same issue. I tested it with a friend’s car and it’s the same thing.
I’m pretty sure this is a great app as a stand-alone working with the phone, but please fix the CarPlay functionality.

So poorly designed
I’ve given this app two ratings and both were super poor. I live in the country away from my favorite radio stations, and have to stream the ones I listen to. They offer “full podcasts” of shows like Sarah & Vinnie but upload them in LITERALLY 1 min segments. One from earlier today is 56 seconds. How can I even work if I have to constantly go back into the app and go to the next minute? It used to be in segment blocks with commercials, which was WAY better because at least you could turn it on in the background and let it run.
This app is also poorly designed because if you ever go to another app while a show is running, you start back at home and have to hit go through 3 clicks to get back where you were.
Also, many times it glitches and even my 7 year old catches that it repeats a 20 second segment when trying to listen live.
I don’t think the designers actually use this app because it isn’t user friendly or efficient. Two thumbs down, but I have to use it because it’s the only one that streams the shows I could hear when I used to live in the city.

TonyDJr123,
Practically unusable
Obviously the developers of this app don’t use it. If they did, they would have fixed the myriad of problems this app is plagued with. App doesn’t restart after an interruption and on the occasion it does, it comes back at some other place in the program you were listening to or into an ad. Speaking of ads; there are times where after opening the app you are inundated with a countless number of advertisements that seem to never end. Particularly frustrating when you just want to listen to the news at the top or bottom of the hour. Or, as you’re in the middle of listening to a news segment it switches over to another repetitive ad and brings you back to the program at another point.
Additionally, the functions do not work as they should when cycling through different segments of a program.
There are so many more problems with this app if the developers would just spend some time listening they would be aware and would work to solve them.
All of the problems I have experienced have to do with live streaming live radio programs. I wouldn’t even consider using Audacy for podcasts.
