97.5 The Fanatic 12+

Why does the new 93.3 WMMR app have on demand functionality (even download capability on top of that), and the 97.5 app doesn't? Please tell me tell me an update is coming extremely soon that brings this functionality to the 97.5 app.

8/7 update: Looks like this app now has the on demand/download functionality. Thank you.

1. The iOS app will start playing automatically when the phone wakes, even if it’s not in the foreground. I unlocked my phone this morning and opened Facebook, and I hear Missanelli’s commercial start blaring. Not connected to my car or anything else, and the app hadn’t been used in 12+ hours.

2. It would be great to put a cookie or refresh token in. As it is, the commercial restarts every time “play” starts. If you’re listening this the stream, and there is a disruption, you have to listen to the commercial again and you miss the show. If you switch from cell to WiFi, this happens as well.

3. Someone should make the UI of the app more car friendly. I bet a lot of users use it in the car. People shouldn’t use it while driving, but the play button, controls, and on demand text is too small to use when the phone is mounted. So again, if the stream stops while driving, you can’t safely do anything about it.

Really great app, works 100% of the time, I listen all day at work on my phone and can see the updates on twitter within the app to see when cool things are happening, 97.5 best station in my opinion, still waiting to hear what about to Joe... will miss him a lot, the station should of done a better job with the announcement and letting us know what happened, he was a great host to listen to, wish him the best of luck, the rest of the hosts are great too! I listen all day everyday, thank you for the consistent entertaining sports talk, Anthony, Mike, Baldy, MCW, Aton, Rob, Harry, Martinez, and the other few I am missing, keep up the amazing job you are all doing!
