Can hear baseball in the background

I can hear a baseball game in the background and it crashes and forces me to watch a commercial again at least twice an hour.
"Used" to be good. App is now "useless"

I always loved this app. Now, they have added marketing video ads that continuously play simultaneously while the station shows are playing. There is no way to turn them off. The app is now "useless".
Works when it wants to.

Never been a fan of Cumulus apps, but this one had promise. WLS is my favorite station and I WOULD be listening all the time.... BUT I cannot because this app decided some days it just isn't going to keep me connected. Maybe it's the station, but I never ever can just fire it up and start working. There's always something. Today I can't even get it to play. I'd sure be happy if someone made this a reliable app.
So annoying,

Love WLS and the content provided, however, it's rare that I can stay connected to the app for more than a half an hour without it opening the App Store, which stops the audio from playing. I have to reload it only to sit through video ads for a few minutes, in hopes that it will load through and play the content without opening the App Store on me again. Usually I fight this loop long enough that I'm already at work by the time it starts streaming the actual content I'm trying to listen to. Other issues with with this app are it shuts itself down periodically for no reason and every time I start the app, it starts with the volume turned down turn about 25%, regardless of what I had it set at prior or what the volume is set at on my phone itself. It never used to be this bad, so a big shout out to the genius that broke it. I hope the payoff from the ads is worth the drop in ratings on the app and decrease in users of the app

Run the trap
This app is super buggy! I thought the old version was bad but this one takes it to new levels. Phone runs hot, advertising plays out of nowhere right over the radio host, AND the app itself starts playing when it's not even open!!! With the app completely closed, I can hang up from a phone call and wls starts playing! Since the app is already closed, I can't stop it without opening another audio source to interrupt it; which has me majorly concerned about my data usage. So I have to constantly switch cellular permission on and off. The only reason I even use it is because my local radio uses Iheart and I REFUSE to deal with their junk. The second I find an alternate way to listen to Rush, I will uninstall this for good
Sort of ok

I listen every morning/evening and have to restart at least 2-3 times. I wonder if WLS even looks at these reviews. Especially during a great conversation, story or news item the app just stops. Hey WLS - you gonna fix this??
Bad app
Mr flinkus
Updated my app. Keeps shutting off. Deleted app and downloaded again. Doesn't work.Guess they don't want us to listen on line.
Takes all your memory and shuts down all the time

It is a terrible app. I suffer thru it because there are some air personalities I like. All cumulus apps do this
WLS 890 App shuts down constantly.

I don't think there is a more frustrating app to use on the iPhone. The app shuts down the stream constantly for no reason, and then forces you to watch the same lame video commercial when you hit play again.
