iHeart: Music, Radio, Podcasts

I mentioned in a review earlier this year that they've been periodically removing albums on this app which makes it impossible to access tracks from them anymore, but I just recently checked certain Artist Playlists and discovered that not only are there more missing albums, but albums whose tracks are all missing! I don't know why all this is happening but it's clear to me that things haven't gotten any better. I think it might be time to try another music streaming app for a change.

Stops playback when you put your phone to sleep, under the guise of "buffering" and as soon as you unlock your phone to try to restart the app, it starts playing again. update: this app still sucks. it will play ads more than music/radio. suddenly stops playing when listening to radio, but has no problem playing ads. and more ads. and more ads. and more ads. 0/10 would recommend. update: it keeps getting worse. plays ads just fine, doesn't play radio.

Ever since the hurricanes came through Florida, there is a glitch in the system. Whenever there is a power switch, like tower to tower, or wifi on to off, about a minute of Iheart (not local) ads will interrupt and play. It's extremely annoying missing a minute or so of whatever I'm listening to just from going from the car to the house. Happens across different stations, so it's definitely the app. This same thing has happened before, so I know it can be fixed.

This is the only music service that's good as the free version but I have a suggestions: 1 Put the full name of a song (album name, version, remaster, etc.) when searching for new songs 2 Let free users look at recently played songs (even if we can't play them 3 Sometimes the music just stops completely and I have to restart my play list. Normally that'd be fine but it happens too often not to be an annoyance, so fix that please. otherwise, great service

I appreciate the app allows users to listen to radio and podcasts for free, and offers a free playlist. However, Iheart has added more songs to my list than I have and never plays my songs. Went for a run today, first 7 songs were not mine, had to use all my skips to get to one i added. Played one then 5 more songs that I didn't add. Had no skips left so just turned it off. I understand adding songs keeps the app free, but it's not really worth it when none of what you want to hear plays.
