| 2024-10-29 |  | | This was a good app, but the ads are l now out of control and actually stop the music, which is ridiculous and unfair to users. They still did not update the map to show the countries, states, and cities or territories like Google Maps. If they would fix or update these 2 issues, I will improve the stars. |
| 2024-10-29 |  | | Very nice app. Haven't tried a radio app for years. VERY PLEASANTLY SURPRISED! I really like the globe 🌎 interface - it works very well. My locale, Oklahoma, had an NOAA radio station listed, which I quickly hearted (it tracks storms). A flick of the globe and I was listening to Scotland (my wife's home country) which was playing some Country Western music... (Yes, there is a Western sub-culture in the U.K.!) Baghdad radio was playing some Sia?!?! |
| 2024-07-18 |  | | I picked this app up back when it began -- I love the clever interface, and decided to buy the upgrade on both iOS and Android. I was happy with it, and the ability to spin the globe and discover new things. Now, though, there's a subscription. I appreciate the desire of the developer to earn a living, but this put me right off. I notice I don't use the app much now, which is a shame. |
| 2024-05-29 |  | | I have enjoyed this app emincly for a couple of yrs now. But since I updated the app and my Samsung a53 suddenly it will only play when my screen is on. After 1min then the screen goes off then shortly after the RG player stops playing. As soon as I turn the screen back on it rebuffers and starts playing. This is incredibly annoying as I walk alot for my health and like to enjoy the 70's classic rock or smooth jazz. If this cannot be resolved I will sadly have to uinstall for something else🫤 |
| 2024-04-17 |  | | GREAT app, BUT... Premium is a monthly fee instead of a one-time payment. I do not support Monthly fee For Apps!!! The free version works well with a few minor glitches. One is the occasional failure to open because of failure to migrate stations. Also have had a station jump. Lacks local stations that are internet broadcast... But again, it works for me to find a good talk radio station, even if it's 200 miles away. If this was one-time purchase. |
| 2024-02-12 |  | | I've been a paid customer of this app for a few years. I purchased two licenses on different phones before the new subscription model. I migrated to a new phone and I'm now seeing ads in the app. I was happy to support the app before the subscription model, and would even pay a higher one time fee to get rid of the ads again. I have no interest in subscribing as I don't see myself using the new features. I'll deal with the ads for now but not sure for how long. |
| 2024-01-12 |  | | My two biggest complaints are basically two new awesome features 😎, I wish the map would take less time to load, perhaps if it were less detailed? Another feature would be to have the next button work from my lock screen or new earbuds. Definitely love the app though but with these two things it would be incredible, thanks for your consideration. 🙂👍 |
| 2024-01-11 |  | | I have used this app for years, and very successfully. Lately something is amiss. Sometimes it just doesn't connect anymore. Or the station just stops playing. There must have been some kind of change that is causing these problems. Once I uninstalled it and started all over again, of course then I lost all my stations! And that worked. (I'm having that problem now.) |
| 2023-11-19 |  | | Let me start it off with this if you are a music lover of any kind. It would be absolutely silly of you not to download this app. I get to explore radio stations around the world and get to hear other countries and cultures music, and it DEFINITELY varies by a large margin. I couldn't recommend an app better than this in terms of finding and discovering new music |
| 2023-09-18 |  | | This is a beautiful app. Very original display concept that gives context to your listening. If you love music and want to experience sounds from all over the world you will not be disappointed (and be sure to check out the excellent 'Browse' feature to begin your journey). So take a stroll through the enchanted Radio Garden: you'll be pleasantly surprised at what you'll find. |
