3AW 4+

Hi 3AW apart from the convenience of using your app it has now become close to the only way possible to reach your channel with out extreme interference and total dead spot areas blanking out signal around Metro Melbourne. This is in various vehicles that would once have picked up signal. 5G? Or what has changed? Maybe no maintenance? Video killed the Radio Star? Trying to Listen GB

The original introduction of the 3AW App, and before that the 3AW website, was a godsend as a quick & easy source for Australian news & entertainment while living overseas.
Really excited when the latest App upgrade recently landed. While the structure, layout and content is good, some of the simplicity of the old App is lacking, such as the in-App volume control and change to the structure of the countdown timer. Also there is now a delay when loading, followed by the inevitable & frustrating advertisement pop-ups.
On the topic of advertising, the number & placement of adds on air has definitely changed since 3AW’s ‘integration’ into the Nine Network. For example, why lead up to news with an add having only a couple of minutes earlier had a block of adds. Becoming more & more irritating, & lucky to get 40 minutes each hour of on-air content.

I’ve been using the app since it was first released as it is the only way I listen to 3AW. Tis a shame there is no longer a timer feature as I used to be able to set the app to turn off after 90 mins while listening to the overnight program. It was such a good feature. The other change is the add before the program begins it is hard to find the section to close the add. And with the last update of the app the loading of the app now takes minutes before I finally get to listen to the guys on 3AW. Thanks though the app is my only connection to radio.
