98.5 The Sports Hub 17+

This app has aggressively bad usability- so bad that I have trouble not believing it is intentional. There is a complete lack of any organization by show, host, or really any other meta data. Finding shows that literally happened today is effectively impossible without shlepping out to the rudimentary search feature. A list of recent podcast are mislabeled and mislinked.

These are not edge cases. It’s all just bad design. When it remains this bad for so long, it’s a firm sign that the station or there owners have no interest in fixing it. They don’t want you listening to archived podcasts. They want you listening live to push their high value add streams. My theory at least.

Really liked the old version of the app - super quick to get to replays for shows I missed, very straightforward "Hour 1", "Hour 2", etc listings. Now the shows are in some haphazard order and mixed-in with a bunch of other stuff, with crazy long descriptive titles instead of the timestamp, which are completely impossible to read quickly (in the car, especially) and very touchy to scroll in the exact spot without accidentally playing the podcast.

Please add back a quick screen with just the show names, then pick the hour - and include the weekend shows! Now TuneIn is better to listen to 98.5 than their own app.

Can’t understand why there are preroll video ads for a radio station that has ads as part of its regular programming. If you are in an area where your connection goes in and out, you are subjected to the same ad with every reconnect. Also, it keeps you from clicking your phone off while that ad is playing... the audio stops instead of continuing from the lick screen. So you have to unlock, play wait for the ad to finish, then start the audio. Super frustrating.
