I like getting the world news and other news here. Generally the news is well rounded. My biggest complaint is in the comments. I feel like I’m like being targeted because my comments are never published. I feel it is because someone monitoring them disagrees with them. This morning I commented on a story that had one comment. In it is stated that similar incidents in the past were a result of arson and that I hope this cases wasn’t. Now, this afternoon there are a total of three comments... but not mine or a comment like mine. Hm... If comments are targeted and so limited they shouldn’t allow comments at all. But they want to have comments so people come back and get them advertising dollars for each time the story is clicked on.

When opening this app you're forced to watch—not listen to—an ad for the app's sponsor. This is supposed to be radio! Why force a video ad on the listeners, especially when we still have to listen to all the ads that are broadcast on the station? If I lock my screen or switch to another app before the video is done, it stops playing and it never actually plays the program. At least let the audio play in the background if I have to put up with the app sponsor. If that wasn't bad enough, the audio stream often just stops after I've been listening for a bit. Terrible app.

So every time I want to listen to KSL on live demand, I need to hear an advertisement from Any Hour Services. That means when my phone rings, or a message comes through, or I look at an email, then go back to KSL, I must restart the app even if it is paused and hear Any Hour Services again. It’s like I wouldn’t call them if my life depended on it for the advertisement abuse I get from the application. It’s not Any hour’s fault but the way the app works. Why do I know that, other live radio apps do NOT require a repeat of the sponsor’s advertisement.

The latest version of this app is terrible. If your screen goes to sleep it stops the audio from playing which is a terrible experience. You used to be able to play the live stream and put your screen to sleep so it does not waste your battery. Now you have to leave the screen on to keep the live stream. Need to get a fix out for this ASAP. Also, like everyone else with a review, having to listen to that blasted commercial from Anyhour services is very annoying. I get trying to profit from the app but I still have to listen to all the commercials on the radio...isn’t that enough?
