102.5 The Bone: Real Raw Radio Reviews

by Wasteofti

I have a new IPhone, and 1025TheBone can’t handle switching from WiFi to cell data without crashing much of the time. Also if I am walking around at work or the gym, 1025TheBone stops playing and hangs when switching access points. This becomes especially problematic when I am streaming Full Show Replays. When I end up restarting 1025TheBone , it loses my place that I left off. 1025TheBone doesn’t give me a button to fast forward or record the time I was at in the show. Great content but 1025TheBone seems undeveloped from our current app technology.

I rated this 2-stars because every time I open 1025TheBone (on my iPhone *and* my iPad), it gives me grief for not sharing my location with 2 separate pop ups. 1025TheBone does not need to know my location; very aggravating. Aside from that, 1025TheBone version works better than ones in the past. REALLY wish 1025TheBone let you skip forward or backward in replays, however.

1025TheBone is clean and easy to navigate. The issues are with the pause/play button is more of a mute button. The stream continues while no audio is played. The shows on demand all seem to start at random points in the broadcast and same issue applies as before for the pause/play button. There is also no way to rewind or fast forward through the podcasts.

1025TheBone crashes way too much. If you did actually listen to the reviews, why haven’t you added a fast forward feature? If you listen to clip of the day, if anything happens and it resets, you have to listen to the whole thing from the beginning.
And now with the most recent update, it doesn’t want to connect at all. It says to check my connection.

Good app to listen to The Bone anywhere, but missing features. Needs to be available for Apple CarPlay. The show rewinds and feature cuts would be much better if you could pause/rewind/FFwd. I assume this has to do with advertising though so not sure if that will happen. Wish I could also search for smaller cuts like Medicine Man interviewing Tito Jackson’s daughter. Amazing, but can’t find it anywhere.

Good app and I enjoy being able to listen to shows that I miss. The biggest issue is that if I have to pause a featured cut when I go to resume it always restarts the clip and will not allow you to fast forward. It's a pain to have to listen to the same parts of a clip several times just to get to the ending.

I love having 1025TheBone but what’s the point of on demand when it won’t hold it’s place on any show when u pause it?! Or when u freshly start 1025TheBone and pick one of the most recent shows to replay it’ll start in the middle of the show?! Come on this should be an easy fix! But I still love it!

I never use to care to listen to talk radio. I’m 43. About 5 years ago someone I was with was talking about the station. I gave it a shot. Now I couldn’t tell you what new in music or what new music artist are out. I love the diversity. I love the feel of how they are a family.. I mostly love they support the Tampa Bay Area. I’ve been sad to see a few people leave. Even still my son even knows to turn his radio to 102.5 when I get in his car... keep up the great work you all do. I know the work you have to put in to putting out the kind of material that you do. No one compares.

I love 102.5 the bone!!! And often times I'm on the road working and can't listen so I go back and listen to the replays, only thing is if I have to go to a meeting or lose service for a few min the replays have moved on and cannot rewind or pick up where u left off, and on clips of the day if you have to stop listening it starts over from the beginning, hopefully the go to a podcast format and build an archive!!!!!

1025TheBone seems great though it has trouble sometimes connecting to the Bluetooth in my truck. When that happens I’ll listen online. Other than that it’s a good app!

Wish I could pause and play easier. 1025TheBone seems slow to respond and no always correct when pausing and playing. Other than that, really easy, convenient, and nice. Love the big, easy to read content.

by BlaineM95

Needs pause option during cuts. App randomly crashes while in playing a cut. While selecting a full show 1025TheBone will very often start it at the middle or near the end of the show before ending and once restarted 1025TheBone will then play the full show from the begininng. Other than that it’s a great app.

I’ve been listening to the Bone for a long time. Now that I live in Orlando, 1025TheBone allows me to continue listening to my favorite shows. It’s great when 1025TheBone works, but there are a lot of times I have to play around with it (disconnect/reconnect my WiFi, close and reopen 1025TheBone ) to get it to work.

by Couldn't Clock

The only thing I wish was different is that the shows weren’t on a loop. When you press play I wish it started from the beginning of the show not just wherever the loop is, this would hopefully make it possible to pause and pick back up where it left off. Having a few more than just the most recent show would be nice as well

Moved to Clarksville, near Nashville, last summer. Love I can still listen to Mike Calta and in particular “News with Galvin” every morning. Need my Mike, Galvin, Carmin, Spanish and crew fix!!! 1025TheBone issue I have is losing connection sometimes while driving or at McDonalds which is not an app issue or 1025TheBone will go to OnDemand out of the blue sometimes.

Love listening to The Bone and the replays when I miss live, and when I'm out of range. My only concern with 1025TheBone is that when you listen to a reply, it starts somewhere in the replay and not in the beginning. A fix for this would be great, but overall great radio. #LOD

I love listening to the bone On my ride home between 6 and 7 I get to listen to the Mike Calta show and hear the parts I missed. I can’t listen to the show that is on the radio at 6pm. It’s too much talk of racism and bashing the president. I am real happy that with 1025TheBone I can still listen to the bone even if I don’t like a specific show.

by Rushing Spirit

Is that since the last update, the TV portion won't rotate or flip whatever you call it. So Ots hard to read the screen when they put stuff up from their computers.

by BlindDoug

1025TheBone is amazing. It allows me to listen to great radio show. Being blind it allows me to listen to a great morning show with complete ease.

I moved out of the Tampa area a few months ago but still listen to The Bone every day! 1025TheBone is great with the exception of one thing, there is no way to pause the featured cuts without having to start the whole thing over. Additionally, there isn’t a way to fast forward or rewind to catch up.
1025TheBone crashes periodically, as any app does, but if you’re listening to the featured clip and it crashes you have to listen from the beginning.
Outside of that, 1025TheBone is really user friendly! The quality of the audio is just as great as it is when you listen live.
I’m happy I have the option to still listen to my favorite shows even from the other coast!
