I cried tears of joy after I downloaded this app. What a great experience tapping a station icon and connecting to a radio station immediately without having to listen to 2 or 3 ads. Just like the old days of the internet! The app works great with excellent sound quality, a huge assortment of International radio stations and an easy interface. Audials now replaces three other radio apps on my phone. It's now my main source for podcasts, as well. I love it!

So far this app seems pretty good. The interface isn't cluttered like other radio apps. I'd just like to see themed app icon support for the latest versions of Android that support adaptive theming, and better naming of all stations (some seem to be just the stream names; perhaps it could be possible to allow users to submit edit suggestions). Otherwise, a great job!

The app was running fantastic for a long time. Now every time I access the internet or anything else on my phone the app resets I lose all the things that I recorded. And even when I uninstall the app and reinstall it it does the same thing . If you could consider looking into this problem it would be much appreciated.

Doesn't have all the stations I want but can add them with custom links. The UI on Android Auto is decent and stations load and play quickly without really any buffer. Wish the stationns Audials did find for me had better identification. For instance 103.5 Kiss FM instead of WKSC-main, or something to that effect.

The problem is this if you are senior and listen to soul music from the 60s+70s u need to check the search engine. The artist you know are not well promoted you find don't show up in the search. The mp3 may be good but music library compromised in comparison to Google or Apple. There are extended play recordings that you can't trust they have. When I purchase product such as this music library should be able to entice the consumer by showing results that they have the back up.

On home page in simple mode, you have to click on the number next to Favorites to show your stations. They should show by default so you don't have to stumble to push that tiny link. Please fix. On song playing, artist name is microscopic compared to song name. Either make it the same size so it's readable or make font size adjustable by user.

Was great, latest update ruining it. Loved app so I could listen to streaming radio for my lunch hour, but since the update, it keeps changing stations after 10 to 15 minutes. Don't know if it was a glitch in the update but today everything is going good. All I need is to have my local stations added.

I'm used to Spotify so this is really horrible but there's two podcasts that I can still listen to on here they're just not updated. At least it doesn't crash like Spotify and it's not blasting with ads but it's really hard to find any programming. Not a lot of features. It will not continually play songs or a podcast go to the next one you have to open the app and select the next chapter to get it to play. The radio stations are every single one is nothing but ads.But it's better than nothing.

Love being able to stream radio on same app i uae for podcasts. Decent functionality but UI definitely not ready for prime time. Button locations beg to have you skip to next or prev cast in your list when you're just trying to skip back or forward a few seconds while driving. Gave it a month. Instead of getting used to it, it just pissed me off more.

I been using this app for over an year now. Up to now I'm getting "error connecting". This is the first time I'm getting that error. I have the latest version. One of the best apps that I downloaded on my phone. Please fix. Update. It wasn't the app itself. Instead the WiFi was the issues. After getting WiFi fixed, I haven't got any errors.
