HOT97 OFFICIAL Reviews

by Annoyed Fots

I downloaded HOT97OFFICIAL to listen to Ebro in the morning like everyone else. However, the ads play over most of the show. The health first commercials cut out most of the show and it always comes on during prime segments. The interface is never updated and a lot of news is old. It seems like HOT97OFFICIAL was rushed and should be completely redesigned.
On some days they play a completely different show. It’s really bad and annoying

Why is it that when something works perfectly, somebody comes along and wants to screw it up? Paying for a subscription of not hearing commercials is the worse. It's like having Fetty Wap in a cookie jar, every time you put your hands in the same cookie seems to be grabbed. Put a variety in the jar, rotate the music playlist. On the other hand Power station does not have this problem. Hot 97, this is about you. Get it together soon.

HOT97OFFICIAL goes overboard with the advertisements, the radio already plays commercials. The Now playing section of HOT97OFFICIAL , does not list the recently played songs nor does it display info on the current track being played (as misleadingly advertised on HOT97OFFICIAL ’s download page). IMO HOT97OFFICIAL serves no purpose. Deleted!

Very buggy. It would be great to just listen to live radio and not musical interruptions especially when the morning team is debating something important and interesting in current events in the news. Still a fantastic team despite it.

HOT97OFFICIAL is constantly crashing when certain songs play. Once you open HOT97OFFICIAL it stops updating the names of the songs that are playing. If HOT97OFFICIAL is interrupted for any reason, an in coming call or something, it doesn't resume playing after its done. The last thing is you can't pause and play the station from your lock screen. That's annoying. The only reason I haven't deleted HOT97OFFICIAL altogether is because I can't get this station anywhere else.

What the hell is good with these commercials? You'll be enjoying something and the commercial will just come on and cut off whatever you're listening to as if you care about what they're selling. The commercials last mad long. By the time you get back to what you're listening to, it's over. All this aggravation and for what? I don't want nothing from Sprint. Made me resent Sprint.

HOT97OFFICIAL is great and I like the various platforms that are on there. I absolutely love listening to the Cruz Show in demand, however, now when I click on the title to access the show, HOT97OFFICIAL is busy and doesn't allow me to listen! Please fix it! I don't want to delete HOT97OFFICIAL and forget about it!

It's great to have direct access and have it be live but any time something happens on your smart phone (alarm, call, etc) it stops and the same ad play over and over again. Are used to use it more but now I listen to hot 97 on the iHeartRadio app and it's better.

In my limited use the Hot 97 application is useful but is in need of much improvement. HOT97OFFICIAL while easy to navigate could use an overhaul to the plain dreary dark background. One big problem is how sluggish HOT97OFFICIAL seems to be when loading content. I think HOT97OFFICIAL could also be used as a time portal to young listeners today when the radio station was at its peak in the 90’s and early 2000’s. An archive section with classic interviews and personalities from the past such as Funkmaster Flex, Angie Martinez and Star and Buc Wild could be nostalgic to those who are my age and grew up with the station and entertaining to those who did not.

I love using HOT97OFFICIAL almost every day. Only issue I have is at times if I have a notification or an alarm or something go off it forces HOT97OFFICIAL to restart and can get annoying when you hear the start up advertisement each time it restarts

by Amanda.Westbrook

Y’all app is cool... but it would be awesome if y’all made the drops available to the users.

You know how many times a day I could run that “Congratulations, you played yourself.” to my kids? Or “Another one”?

Or if I could get Laura Stylez saying “...cookies? ...cookies! ...cookies.”?

All the Trump ones 😂 “She’s been known to be a liar.” and “Bad hombres here”.

Every time I leave the gym I would play “Strength. No weakness. Never weakness.”

Put them drops on and I would be all the time on HOT97OFFICIAL 😂😂😂 and I swear all my friends would have it too.

Had the old app completely different its the bridge of whats the latest in social info plus dope new artist and music plus wherever i go i get feel of NYC with me all the time if you like HOT97 and all its DJs why you still reading this just go ahead and get it!!!!!!!!!!!(im listening now while i wrote this)

by Flip Willson

Love the morning show always has an educated point of view on relevant life situations affecting folks in day to day living. Funk master Flex show on the other hand is exciting at times but irresponsible points of view givin to an audience that is heavily influenced by the points of view he is offering. I know it’s entertainment but acknowledge the responsibility you have to your listeners Flex👍🏾 otherwise he is the Top DJ around. Ebro Laura and Rosenstein are excellent as well. Oh yeah Shaun culture too!🙏🏽

by P12-ATX

Would be awesome if we could access all the “drops” that are played on Ebro in the Morning. Also, offer some promos for fellow New Yorkers like me who now live out of state. I always keep it locked with you guys. Keep up the great work. Thank you.

I love this new App they came out with! It is an easy platform that allows me to find out about new issues going on in the hip hop world without having to go through different websites or blogs. You get the best of both worlds from the west coast and the east
Coast. It's super easy to manage through and understand! I would definitely recommend for people to download it! Especially if you're not staying in the LA/NY area, it makes it an easy access to see what's going on!

by Forrest Mitchell

Such a awesome app I Love Listening to Power 106!! It's the best station thanks whhl for bringing HOT97OFFICIAL to LA! Also 1 thing I want to make sure the music on HOT97OFFICIAL is at the same time as a radio because I Love To Win Tickets Thanks Very Fast and quick and nice app

by Ceecee5813

I'm so happy to have HOT97OFFICIAL I live in the high desert for the past two years and it was really hard not having power 106 as a station up here and now that I have HOT97OFFICIAL I do !!😍👌🏼🙌🏻💯 I've been listening to power 106 since I was little and there's not a better station out there like it !!

by Pancho0240

I wish there was a way to know which podcasts I've already listened too without having to open the podcast and listening to it to see if I already listened to it before. But The Cruz Show is my Sh**!

by Beeeeeeeeeebe

Lifelong fan. I love seeing my boys from night life making it on the radio station we all grew up on. I will always be a fan of Big Ben ,as an artist ,and as a down to earth ,humble dude. I will always support his endeavors. He’s a real one. All love.🙌🏼

by Pixie Patron

Supposedly you can win tickets with HOT97OFFICIAL but I was in my car listening to the radio and HOT97OFFICIAL has about a 15 second delay how my supposed to be Texter 106 when HOT97OFFICIAL is 15 seconds late this is False advertising I'm deleting HOT97OFFICIAL

by KennectedIVCru

HOT97OFFICIAL is garbage. I barely get to listen to segments or music due to the advertisements starting whenever they want. The advertisements even starts during on air advertising. The advertising starts every time I use car play and play a text message. If I connect to a new output advertising starts. The advertisements start if I turn an alarm off. I seldom hear a full segment or song for that matter. HOT97OFFICIAL literally just quits at random at least twice a day. I paid for HOT97OFFICIAL before all the other radio apps came onto market which is the only reason I still have it. Being the flagship station for hip hop it’s the worst radio app I’ve ever experienced.

by SC: NadiNicholle

Ok so I love the station but for Someone who’s actually paid for HOT97OFFICIAL there’s no reason why I have to listen to 20 commercials to everyone 1 1/2 songs THIS MAKES NO SENSE.. I had no idea I was paying to listen to commercials with A song every now and then. And even if that’s how you make your money limit it to 2 to 3 ads for every three songs or something IDK BUT FIGURE IT TF OUT.

by AB90VA

The ads are really just too much. They come on even as the hosts are talking! They are also rather extensive. I’ve listened to nothing but ads before for several minutes on many occasions. There has got to be a better way to regulate this.

by Medinamelli

I love the show and happy i have HOT97OFFICIAL to listen, however these ads are out of control. In the middle of a song or their morning show, an ad cuts it off and sometimes another ad cuts off another ad. I miss chunks of the show and I’m about to delete this and use another app.

by Julio Rivas

I like HOT97OFFICIAL because I can listen to it anywhere, but sometimes it doesn’t work. It’ll either crash or just never load. It’s been improved since the last time I downloaded it. It’s perfect for those that temporarily/permanently have moved out of NY.

by Mo1120

Why do the commercials interrupt when the personalities are in mid sentence or talking about something? I can never finish hearing what they have to say because commercials interrupt and by the time they finish the show has moved on.

by NJSafe

I like the application a lot. My hugest concern is at times I find it difficult to play who's next when previously listening to the on air personalities.

by Sran1234455

It takes a while to start HOT97OFFICIAL . It will stop and start about 3-4 times before it actually plays..
