Works as expected. I'm very impressed with this app. A few things are annoying tho beginning with the weather. My location is Houston not Brookside Village and the next thing is the occasional ad popups. It would have been a big benefit if you opted to show the artist info as each song played. Other than that pretty good music radio app.
Too much buffering, please fix soon.

App stops playing multiple times…. Random buffering that needs to be fixed. This app should only stall if I have internet connection issues or if I physically stop it myself. I’d like to listen while at work, but these issues make me run to Apple Music for consistent music play. I’m missing vital talking points with GMHT and Kesha in the breakroom. I need this app to preform at optimal proficiency. Thank you✨

Well I just would like to say.. I NEVER review apps! But 97.9 Da Box deserves My review! ABSOLUTELY hands down THE BEST radio station in Texas! Probably the best in the nation imo.. I jam to them when I'm in Houston tx and even on my way back to Austin it gets depressing to loose signal to the best station! But with the 97.9 app I can take the station EVERYWHERE I GO! even at work everyone is like.. "What station is that!? They jammin!" I say the one and only 97.9 The Box! 👌👍❤️ everyone I know now downloaded the app and listens to 97.9! -Irving (Austin tx)
Horrible App great station

This app is horrible and probably the worst music app I’ve ever used. You have to listen AND watch 5 ads before you can hear music. They make you physically close the ads on the screen to make them go away. Impossible and unsafe to use in a vehicle while driving. If you get a phone call the app stops playing music and you have to go through the same unsafe tapping of a tiny X to get back to music. Only reason I use it is because I don’t live in Houston and this is the only way for me to listen to 97.9. I HATE THIS APP. You’d think they would put effort into making it better but nope. It’s terrible and only a matter of time before someone dies trying to use it.
