Audacy

What reviewers actually said

Built only from these 120 real reviews (foreign ones translated). Superscripts jump to the quote here. Apple has no per-review links, so [ref] opens that app's reviews on the App Store.

1. [R47] 3/5 · US Stations are great adds are horrible.: This app has all of the local radio stations I listen to. The problem is they have a lot of Spanish commercials. Why would you have Spanish commercials on an English radio station. The other annoying thing is that it is the same commercials over and over day after day. It annoying as heck. I generally turn off the app and just listen to music after hearin
2. [R44] 5/5 · US Love it!: They have Bean Internet Radio 90s Hits and the audio quality is off the chain!
3. [R140] 5/5 · US GO YANKEES: LETS GO YANKEES WFAN IS THE BEST STATION FOR YANKEES COVERAGE FROM KEITH MCPHEARSON TO SEAN MORASH WFAN HAS EVERYTHING YANKEES!!!! (THANK GOD WE DONT HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THE LIL BROTHA METS😂😂😂)
4. [R188] 5/5 · US WHO DAT, Geaux Tigers!!!: The best stations for the Worlds team Saints & LSU Tigers baby!
5. [R228] 4/5 · US Gateway to the Mets and Yankees!: Endless ads….but audio quality vastly superior to MLB app and Sirius XM.
6. [R62] 5/5 · US Clean and good app: Thanks for adding ESPN WHSQ New York, great app and clean interface. Not cluttered with ads I enjoy listening to segments that I missed
7. [R1] 1/5 · US Barely works: Constant issues on playback. Pausing causes the time to jump chapters. The UI is absolute garbage. Humans use the app, not robots. A Resume Playback button should be more than 3 pixels.
8. [R2] 1/5 · US An absolute joke: I’ve written about 10 reviews now over the course of 2 years for this app. If this app would actually work the way it’s supposed to, it would be decent. The only thing is, the people who work there are completely brain dead morons and can’t figure out how to fix bugs in the app. It’s 2026 and these idiots can’t figure out how to have audio play without it skipping forward and bac
9. [R3] 1/5 · US Used to work great: Loved this app and have used it for years to listen to my favorite sports radio shows because I can never catch them live. But with one of the most recent updates, it has broken the app where if you try to skip forward or backward or even scrub through, it will just keep jumping back to the beginning and restarting whatever you were listening to. It is extremely annoying to th
10. [R5] 5/5 · US No one can help: I have called three times and left messages but no one ever calls back. When I stop the feed and restart it backs up to beginning of show or 15 to 40 minutes and repeat over and over. It use to be good but if I need to advance or backup it will jump back a lot and repeat what I have heard.
11. [R6] 1/5 · US Bad ads!: Forcing someone to hear the same commercial when we start using the program each time is no acceptable. Deleted the program today as you already make money from normal commercials and double dipping is not allowed!
12. [R9] 1/5 · US Feed Highjacking: Nearly every time I select play, Audacy highjacks my chosen station’s feed forcing me to listen to whatever commercials they’ve decided to shove down our throats, regardless of whether or not the station is live or not. I’ve confirmed this by immediately stopping play, then resuming play. The vast majority of times I do this, I find the station is actually live, meaning that Auda
13. [R11] 1/5 · US Why?: You could use this app or you could just turn your radio on. I’m currently listening to the 15th ad in a row after tuning in to my local radio station. Now I’m pretty sure they’re not playing that many ads on the air. So if you like, listening to commercials, download this app and use it.
14. [R19] 2/5 · US Not live radio: Great if you like to listen to commercials
15. [R17] 1/5 · US Fix your app: I don’t know if you need better satellites or what but ever since ce you covered all of Michigan your connection has gone severely downhill. Used to love this app because I could listen to my favorite radio station all day and now I can’t even walk five feet without you connection dropping. And no it’s not because I’m losing internet connection because all my other apps are working j
16. [R18] 2/5 · US After taking a break from Audacy, nothing has changed for the better.: I took 3 months or so off from listening to WXRT in Chicago via the app. Nothing has changed I can see. The most frequent cutouts of any streaming app I use. Yesterday (Mon., 6/15), the Analisa mid-day show repeated the same 3-4 sentences in a row of her talking, then a commercial started to play on top of the repeats. If you
17. [R20] 2/5 · US Terrible streaming: It’s great to be able to listen to radio stations like KROQ, but if I’m listening to this app while going for a walk or driving. You constantly lose streaming. Unless you are logged into wifi, this app sucks. If you’re on wifi it’s great. But you will be extremely disappointed if you want to use it for driving or walking. Use Spotify or Apple music, when you’re not on wifi.
18. [R21] 1/5 · US garbage: this app is complete trash every time I try to listen just opening the app it just starts spinning soon as I click on what I wanna listen to. Trying to listen to the rewind forget it just skips all the time jumps ahead.Have full wifi and the app just spins complete garbage app!
19. [R24] 1/5 · US Do not download: Probably the worst app I have on my phone. For every radio station to be promoting this, you would think the creators would have made a more reliable app. When connected to Bluetooth or CarPlay, the app won’t play unless it’s the last app you access on your phone. Meaning if you forget to have the Audacy app as the last page accessed, you will have to take your phone out and make
20. [R160] 3/5 · US Playing in Background No longer works during CarPlay: As soon as I switch to maps to navigate, Audacy stops playing. Background Refresh is on. I’ve deleted the app, reinstalled, it works once, then stops the next time. Good app, but issue is terrible and makes app really useless in car. No way to report.
21. [R164] 3/5 · US Interrupting local streams?: Will not remain playing in Apple CarPlay unless I stay in the app- making it impossible to use the map or any other app.
22. [R167] 3/5 · US CarPlay issue: Either in the latest app update or something within CarPlay, things have changed. I use this app daily and now, and if I use CarPlay to go back to my maps vs staying with Audacy on the screen, audio from Audacy turns off. I hope this can be addressed in a quick update as I am back to listening to local radio now.
23. [R12] 1/5 · US This app keeps getting worse: Can’t replay segments. It skips randomly to different spots in a show. Can’t fast forward or rewind to a spot. If you hit the fast forward or rewind it may go forward 15 seconds like it’s supposed to or or might jump to a completely different segment.
24. [R13] 4/5 · US Glitch: There is a glitch when you fast forward, it keeps going to a previous show when listening the WFAN.
25. [R4] 4/5 · US Needs accessibility improvements for voiceover users, and needs a fix for an ongoing playback issue: I love the Audacy app. While it is not perfect as far as accessibility is concerned and could use some updates in that field for us blind users, using voiceover, overall, I’m able to use the app. Other than accessibility improvements, the only thing that I would like to see fixed, which when it is
26. [R225] 4/5 · US Audacy: Radio & Sports Talk, Your Stations, News, Podcasts: Hello developers of the Audacy IOS app I would like to bring to your attention an issue that I’m facing when I’m using your app as a full time VoiceOver user when I attempt to use the search box to find a show, station or podcast to listen to, when I’m typing using the IOS on-Screen keyboard I’m forced to pay very close attention to wha
27. [R8] 1/5 · US No good: I downloaded this App to listen to NY Mets games. No matter where they are playing, they block it out bc of supposedly league restrictions. It’s BS.
28. [R33] 1/5 · US ZERO STARS if I could: This app is AWFUL. All I want to do is listen to the Cubs on radio. But I can’t! Because, “Due to MLB restrictions” I am not allowed to listen since I live in FL. For God’s sake, this is public radio! There is something criminal about this, and I’m going to file a complaint with the FCC and the Federal Trade Commission to find out why Audacy and MLB are violating Anti-Trust
29. [R41] 1/5 · US Local NY Yankee games blacked out: I live in West Windsor, NJ, a part of Mercer County, NJ which is in the NYC market. I watch all of the NY teams on my local cable and listen on WFAN. Your app says I’m out of market! This needs to be addressed as I’d love to listen to local NY Yankee games when I have to use your app on my phone! Please address this issue! I do not have access to Philadelphia
30. [R25] 2/5 · US Not a great app: How is it that this app has a 4.5 rating but most of the reviews are 1 star? Sus. This app keeps playing, when you open WCCO, but the UI locks up and you can’t do anything, like change stations, scroll in any direction or do anything else in the app. It does not do this with other stations, but station selection is so poor, there is no other station on the app, I want to listen
31. [R36] 1/5 · US Can’t remove stations: This app can’t even hide or remove stations from the local list section. The app is slow and sometimes takes a second tap to actually click on something. If the station I listen to supported other radio apps I would use those instead. Actually I might even stop listening to my station because of this app. That’s how horrible it is!
32. [R39] 1/5 · US If you like bugs this app is for you: I hate everything about this app. Going back to my old fashion radio. That never lets me down .
33. [R40] 5/5 · US Don’t force registration: I used to use this app to listen to baseball on the radio. When doing that, I am forced to listen to dozens of commercials. Now they want to monetize me another way by forcing me to register, and tracking who knows what. Deleting the app… Edit: Thanks for the reply. The web player works well.
34. [R203] 3/5 · US Needs work: Every time they put out an update the app malfunctions for a couple days. Loosing your saved stations, not loading, sound drops out, etc. And even though it’s free to use they want you to register for an account and then they spam your email and share it with other companies of course.
35. [R111] 3/5 · US Does not stream to Google smart speakers: The app only streams to Apple or Sonos speakers, but not Google.
36. [R229] 3/5 · US Good..but: Please enable the IPad version to rotate in landscape mode. It is very troublesome to remove the IPad from its stand and turn it for a selection.
37. [R133] 5/5 · US Needs CarPlay Update: I love this app, which allows me to listen to live radio from back home. I usually do that in the car. Since iOS 26 was released, there is a bug that requires the app to be open and on the car display screen. If I try to have pull up a map or different app, the Audacy stream stops. I hope it’s a quick upcoming fix so I can get back to using the app again.
38. [R7] 1/5 · US Random skipping not fixed: you stated that the recent iOS update was fixed and it certainly was not. Anytime you try and listen to a show it randomly starts skipping around back to the same point. Super frustrating and annoying.
39. [R27] 1/5 · US Commercials all the time: If you don’t mind listening to so many commercials that repeat over and over again, then use to this app.
40. [R30] 1/5 · US Ads Ads Ads: I can’t stand using this app, it’s spams you with ads at every opportunity.
