I can't use it at all. When I click on the app, I get a blurb of sound for a fraction of a second, and then nothing - every time. I've tried it about 10 times so far over a period of a few weeks. It's completely useless for me. I can't even get ads. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flomoe Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I have to closeout the app 5 or 6 times just to get the damn greatest moments in sports to stop playing. By that time, it’s time for the next round of commercials to start again. Then, when I stop it, like what was mentioned above, it just starts playing on it’s own. Its probably time to test the archived stuff and hope that works, trying to listen live is not possible anymore. It sucks because of all the shows starting live from camp soon. Sometimes new isn’t always better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commish Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Very poor interface with Android Auto - unless the program is up and running on the phone, Android Auto won't play it - even tho Radio.com is an approved choice.

Guest K-GunJimKelly12 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I stopped listening to WGR entirely since they switched apps. Use to listen almost every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 It's not that Entercom "sold their soul" to Radio.com, Entercom literally owns Radio.com. It is their own streaming platform. So of course they are pulling all of their stations off all other platforms and going to their own. This is nationwide. That said, the new app and platform has all sorts of kinks to be worked out. As does every new app, platform, or system at launch. I do miss TuneIn though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plenzmd1 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I dunno, maybe I am a tech genius but I have had zero issues with the new app once I figured it out a bit. I only listen on demand ..i download the shows i want to listen to..make sure to hit pause before I switch listening devices..all good. No commercials still on the demand pods.

swnybillsfan Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 i can't even download the radio.com app. it says my phone is not compatible with the app. which sucks, because i drive a lot for work and it was nice to listen to the on demand playback from the wgr app. i can listen through the website, but it seems to need about 99% of my phone's power to do so.

Royale with Cheese Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 yeah I hate listening to these greatest moments since it just repeats the same ones over and over and over. The one thing I do like about Radio.com is it actually works most of the time. The WGR app would constantly just stop working and I would have to reset the app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing I do like about Radio.com is it actually works most of the time. The WGR app would constantly just stop working and I would have to reset the app. This is true. Plus, they both play the same five commercials over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over so what's the difference. Kars 4 Kids, Flo and her boot camp, the gay Progressive guy who has self esteem issues and is in a one man choir, the stupid lounge singer- I can't take it. Sometimes I'll accidentally leave the app on during a break, not be paying attention and all of a sudden realize I'm in the middle of one of those commercials and almost snap. They will drive a man crazy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big local sports talk radio has replaced big pharma as the most corrupt industry in our country. Howard, Jeremy, Schopp, the Bulldog, etc. are all beholden to the local sports talk radio lobbyists and are making loads of money hand over fist, while leaving nothing for the little guys who do the weekend shows.

PirateHookerMD Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Whats also driving me nuts is if you close the app and re-open it, sometimes it remembers where you left off, and sometimes it goes back to home. Really annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a shame. Lol, i think he is referring to WGR when they do dive into politics, it is very liberal. And WBEN is very conservative. They are both owned by the same company. It would be like CNN and Fox news being owned by the same company. How could they lose? Does anybody else have problems with, getting push notifications about breaking news, but then when i go to the app to read more about it, there is nothing there. Not even the basic headline in full. I got the pish notification a few weeks ago, abkut ryan oreiley being traded. But i had to search other place to find out where he went, and for the return was.

CCC Bills Fan Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Home Depot, Progressive, Lowes, O'Reilly, Greatest Moments in Sports, Macy's, GEICO, ... Enough Already!!!!!! Actually, it seems like the list is shorter that that. I thought I was listening to a station from Buffalo. I remember the good old days when I would hear on the app...Len Co, Kenny Carpet, Give Belknap a Ring, Northtown Auto, Golden Nugget, Riverfront Auto Sales, Mavis, Buffalo Roadhouse Grill, Lockport Outdoor Store, Premier Group, Paddock Chevrolet Golf Dome, Ted's Hot Dogs and so many more. I miss these commercials. And many of them had one distinct voice for narrating voiceovers - sound familiar? Anyway, I find it extremely frustrating to have the app wipe out an entire segment of Howard and Jeremy for a commercial break in the final 10 or so minutes of the show. Little did I realize this until it went from a very long commercial break (with many repeated ads) straight to The Instigators. Also, does anyone have commercials literally cut off WGR talent before the segment is over? This has happened several times. I called the station main switchboard recently to address this, and I also called the Entercom offices near Philadelphia. I spoke to one person at the Entercom Offices detailing the problems I am having listening to the app. Nothing new has changed after calling since a segment of Schopp and the Bulldog today was almost entirely wiped out with the Greatest Moments in Sports on constant repeat. Anyone else experience any of the above? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatszel Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Listing to great moments in sports for the 50th time in a week this app is terrible, it is cumbersome to use it would be nice to get WGR again. Your going to loose your advertising WGR as you do not have service. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
