Bill Bennett for Android
Who doesn't like to watch a rainbow spin endlessly waiting for the app to connect? Because it's all it does on my Samsung S 7.
If app would open, I'd know more to tell!
I enjoy the Bill Bennett programming, but the mechanics behind this application need to be rebuilt. The app will freeze/lose connection when performing other functions even when I select option to run the app in the background. IE; plug in wired or BT headset, check email, even just opening certain apps. In fact it stopped while writing this review These problems do not occur when listening via Tune-in to one of the affiliate stations.
I suspect the issue is that the news feed is just too much data to be streamed with the audio. Would prefer a separate news app like Fox has. Thanks. On my HTC One, I want to listen to Bill on the app and then listen to replay. It keeps freezing. That rarely happens on Tune In or IHeart radio.
It's Fixed!
After reading the reviews, it would be helpful to see if the website has responded and what they have decided to do. Once responded, then those reviews could be archived.

Unlike other SRN apps Bennett's show is too soft. Even with jambox speakers the feed is low. Commercials come through at full volume and are jarring.

Great idea, terrific show! App worked great on previous phone, but when I upgraded to Galaxy S3, the sound comes thru like an old record player with a thumb slowing down the disk.
***** Especially love the ability to listen without hearing Mark Davis on commercials and during the last hour (I live in the DFW market) **** Occassionally have trouble connecting. ** No alarm feature to wake me at 5:07 * Hate the extra LOUD volume on commercials. Particularly difficult living in a house with late sleepers. Often causes me to turn it off to prevent unintended consequences. Sorry, the Commercial Volume pulls the whole app rating down. Why can't you keep it the same as the show?
I listen to it at home despite the irritation of the variable volume. My rating would go from one star to five if that was fixed. It's that irritating. I can't listen at work because of it.
This app cannot find the internet despite four bars of connection. Have similar app on iphone which cannot maintain connection
Couldn't get my membership features to work. Couldn't listen to previous podcasts. Very frustrating.

Going to remove the app and try again some time in the future. Using a S5 and the app loads to 46% and no more.
