SportsDayTALK w/ 1310TheTicket for Android
It uses way too much data to stream! I listen all day thru my phone and it kills my data. I might have to stop listening. Also, How do you turn it off? You can't end task.
I do love the rewind option, but I used to be able to play my baseball game and listen to Sports talk at the same time with old app, but can't with the new. Disappointing...I have a Note 5 android
I will change to 5 stars if you include an alarm clock feature. I wake up to The Ticket at 5:35 am. Iheart has that feature...
FINALLY, an updated app for Android users!! The old one was was making me nuts. Love the rewind feature!!
Before this most recent update the app was perfect but now when I go back to the buffered audio the playback with just arbitrary stop. Sometimes it start back up after 90 seconds but usually I have to close the app and start over.
Finally, it works perfectly. Love that I can pause or go forward & backward, the slider mechanism is great! And the presentation of the sports stories is much more polished. Good job everyone
Much better but now if they'd just add an alarm clock function I could get rid if iHeart!
This is very well done. I really like the rewind button and would love to see a fast forward button too.
Heck yes new app is greeat
SO AWESOME WHEN YOU TURN OFF NOTIFICATIONS AND THEY STILL SEND THEM...
Works great again!
How bout dat - Finally a good stream
I use the app mostly for keeping up with the sports stories in the news feed. BUT the ad at the bottom of the screen is making me crazy. It's brilliantly placed for generating clicks...for the user experience, not so much. How about a version of the app that costs a couple bucks, or a subscription model, to GET RID OF THE ADS. Also: what the frank (hi Corby!) is up with the 'click here to view on a mobile device' links in the stories. It's an APP, of course I'm on a mobile device. And clicking the link launches a web browser...that makes no sense. Fix this *** Rich!
Great update i always would use before just to listen to the ticket "on the go" now the update not only allows playback on the live feed. It also really is a nice update on the morning news side looks great and i will use a ton more. About time guys!!!
This is about a 1000% improvement over the previous app! I wouldn't mind if the audio controls were a bit larger and more readily accessible from startup, but still its a vast improvement.
App is much improved. Would like to see an autoplay option for the stream and a jump forward button like the jump back 15 sec.
New update is ragonking awesome.
***Update 2/3/17 - After years this app finally implements audio controls in the notification pull down and complies with Android audio focus guidelines. In the app settings there is an option to disable notifications so you no longer need to disable notifications for the entire app, which kills the audio controls. The stream has always been good and the rewind feature works great. Now with the latest update it is finally a 5-star app worthy of the little ticket *** This app's audio stream is pretty good the first time you start it. Minimal buffering. If you pause the stream it's 50/50 that it will pick up where it left off. If you get a call, unplug the headset, spend too much time in a different app, etc. then it's over. You have to restart the app. There is nothing in the notification tray while streaming like EVERY other audio app. No updates since November '13 so I guess this is as good as it will ever get for the little Ticket. #acumulusstation
There is an streaming message in my notifications bar so I can pause or play what I am streaming. It won't go away and I can't figure out how to remove it from my notifications. It is stuck on the same clip that I listened to a week ago and never updates. I feel like it is only supposed to be there when you actually have the app open.
Love the app, except for one problem. Listening to live stream, it stops the stream when screen goes off - no sound. Most people use an automatic screen off to save battery life, so this is inconvenient. Didn't happen with the previous version of the app. Update: I see this has something to do with having background notifications turned off on my phone. When I turn them on, the problem goes away.
Really digging the new update. The new design looks great. Looks more streamlined, looks cleaner. I like that you can listen up to an hour back. It looks like you guys spent some money on this lol. Keep up the good work!
Great update. Can finally pause and play from notification area and lock screen like iHeart so now can use this app. One thing I would like to see added is the ability to close the app from the notification and lock screen like other streaming apps have. (There is no X to close it) Thanks.
2/8/17 Tried opening new version today. Stopped every time I tried opening it. Do kids make this app? I have an S7, so its not the phone. Horrible. 1/16/17..repeating itself again. Flashing ads make it hard to read articles, they suck. Crashes a lot, has to be updated often.
Greatly improved. Especially with being able to catch up on content from the last hour.
With the newest update, it's been improved in every way.
In my mind where we live today sports.
It mutes when the phone rings, but once you answer the call the audio unmutes so I have the caller and the ticket in my ear. I have to tell the caller to wait while pause or stop the app. Second thing is they continue to promote that the app has fast forward and rewind. That is load of BS or horse hockey. It has pause and go live. First world problems...
This is great! It still randomly shuts down & stops playing which is perfect. Now the playback speed is correct, but we still don't have the new interface iOS has or the ability to rewind. But, what's awesome is the new ads that play before and after every clip. Hopefully, the new revenue generated by the ads will allow the developer to make it halfway decent.
Use the app only b/c I don't have another choice to listen to the Ticket. Sadly, the Android version is woefully neglected. The iOS version is MUCH MUCH MUCH better. I don't understand this because Android has a much larger footprint than iOS. Really disappointing. I'd even be willing to pay for a version as good as the iOS app. PLEASE UPDATE!
So buggy. Stream skips back in time constantly. Won't mute when answering a phone call. Would be nice if stream paused when disconnected from Bluetooth. If there was literally any other way to listen to the ticket on my phone this garbage app would be deleted
New version still has streaming issues. Either stops 10 minutes in or repeats the same ad/segment over and over.
Streaming the ticket sometimes results in an endless loop of commercials until the app is restarted. The stream also gets stopped by mundane tasks like unlocking your screen.
It's a poorly put together piece of garbage. Use iheart, less frustration.
They have advertized the app can rewind for "up to an hour" with their new 3.0 interface but the app has the same interface and not even a rewind buttun. My favorite is the completely unresponsive feedback page lmao
Can someone fix the replay problem, you hear content then it is replayed like a skipped recorded. it is very annoying. The app does not all me to rate it or give feedback- it goes into frozen mode. I have an android.
The constant replay loop is tiresome. No rewind feature, as advertised. Won't mute when I get an incoming call. Overall, a pretty crappy app. Wish it could be fixed!
Worst app on my phone just got worse. Ads on archives? Terrible. Skips constantly. Plays ads instead of content. Stops frequently. Moving to the unticket. Don't bother downloading. Feedback section on app doesn't work either.
So many problems with the app. Its not even worth downloading as its had a multitude of issues for multiple months. Go ahead and download iheartradio.
I had written a poor review for the app because of all of the adds about an hour ago and I just now saw that Junior Miller tweeted that the stream coming from the station was out. Soooo stay hard I guess.

The podcast player crashes frequently. It says no network connection. It often plays for about two minutes, then crashes. I am using a Samsung phone and a Samsung tablet. Both have the same problem. The app is fantastic when it works. Love the new playback controls!
