ESPN New York Hack 1.2 + Redeem Codes

I love the app but it still needs some updating. For me 1050 should be the first station that comes on not 9.85 because it’s a national coverage. Also after you have been listening to the app for about 45 minutes to an hour it will just shut off to where you have to keep opening the app and hopefully you can get it back on before the interview or topic conversation is over. Can we please fix that that’s a major issue. Also can you please stop with the Navage commercials its way to many four times every hour. One time may two that’s fine but four times an hour come on stop.

This is the best radio app out there! I only have a couple suggestions for improvement, 2 are just nitpicky things, one is a deal breaker. 1) The app doesn’t save your spot in the podcast when you leave the app or if it refreshes. The regular ESPN app does so I feel like that’s an easy fix. 2) I can’t see the episode descriptions. Not sure why, but you can only see the first few words. Not the biggest deal. 3) DEAL BREAKER!!!! The worst thing about this app that needs to be fixed immediately, the DiPietro & Rothenberg show is listed first before Michael Kay show. That is the worst thing in all Apps right now. It’s criminal really, and I’m going to delete the app if they dont fix it. There is NO chance they are more popular, they definitely aren’t better than Michael, Don and Peter, so there’s no logical reason for it. They can be 3rd after ENN, that’s fine. But that needs to be fixed right away.

First off, love the ESPN NY has an app now. Should make things a lot easier, but for now that doesn’t seem to be the case.

Did anyone user test this??

- Add feature to queue episodes. This sounds like it should be a standard feature for a podcast app, no?

- Add an option for automatically playing the next episode.

- Also remember that episodes are uploaded in date order, so add an option for auto play to play the next newest episode as opposed to the standard play next. For example, see Dipietro & Rothenberg, where they upload the hourly episodes. Normal auto play would play in the order of Hour 3, then Hour 2, then Hour 1. Reversing that auto play order would play them in logical order. Essentially add an auto play next option from Older to Newer or Newer to Older

- The episodes are in date order but if the title is too long and you can’t see the date at the end you’ll have no idea when it’s from. Consider adding an upload date under the episode title.

- There’s a favorites list but you can’t favorite anything, as far as I can tell.

- The forced auto play is annoying but you can turn that off (it should default off)

It appears to be a pretty decent app to start but the one thing I find missing is a rewind function. We should be able to start from beginning shows from the last 24 hours. Just like another radio app in the NY area that allows that. Add that and I would definitely bump this up to four maybe five stars. Is that in the works? Would love to be able to rewind to beginning of shows instead of just being able to listen to podcasts, which I do like but please rewind function!

While the app as a whole is a revelation in itself, this app still needs more tweaking. The most recent further update (with a more detailed description of the hours as well as the auto play) But here’s the problem with auto play…. I listen to the Michael Kay Show staring at hour one. However after the first hour plays, instead it going to hour 2, it immediately starts to play hour 4 of the PREVIOUS day. Reason being…. The hours are playing in a last one post, first one to play order. Whoever is posting these shows need to understand that there has to be an order sequence that makes sense!!!!!

Got it specifically for radio, and it works great, but: if some else happens on your phone that wants to use audio, it stops the radio stream AND it doesn't re-start once that other thing is done. Specifically, an incoming call shuts it down and you even I don't accept the call it doesn't restart. Very annoying if I'm doing something like cooking or taking a shower.

The podcasts are great and load quickly, just have a few suggestions for the developers.
There is no 15s FF/RWD on the Now Playing widget or control center which would be really helpful, only next/previous track controls. Also if you’re playing a specific podcast and navigate to another show within the app, that podcast stops playing.

For an app like this you don’t need many frills. The app is super easy to navigate, very easy to pick something and start listening. Going with a streamlined app made sense. Only suggestion for an improvement would be a section of articles about NY sports teams and the shows on the station.

It’s easy to find local content on this app but I still use the regular ESPN app for sports news. So it’s a push. Option for autoplay upon opening app stopped working but I deleted and re-installed the app, which solved that glitch.

Great App, super easy to use interface. Only thing I would like to see is the option to play podcasts at higher speeds. Usually dont get the chance to catch Rick & Dave in the morning so listening to the podcast at 1.5 speed is key!
