| 2024-11-14 |  | | Great radio app! Simple intuitive interface. No unneeded extras. It just works! Has all the streams I love! Just one question, when will the add url feature be enabled? Edit: the add URL button has been in the app for over a year but still doesn't function. When will this be enabled? |
| 2024-11-07 |  | | Way too many commercials. Too many to even try out the app. Tick tock keeps getting shoved into my face. Also, the app wants your credit card if you want to try add free. I know a lot of apps do, but I just believe that a credit card should only be given if I want to purchase the app. Call me what you want, but you know I'm right😎 Update... I just got another ad pop up while using this app to install some kind of program. I could not exit out. I just uninstalled this app and on to next one. |
| 2024-10-15 |  | | It works as advertised and the sound is excellent. An underlying assumassumption is that you are within cellular ranges, since the audio is delivered through your phones internet service. My car has horrible radio service, I had been using satellite radio instead. despite what some say, satellite reception isn't perfect and where I drive, satellite radio service was also poor. But I have Internet, and Simple Radio gives me crisp audio that sounds great! |
| 2024-10-14 |  | | There's no way to search or add new stations without uninstalling and reinstalling. When launching it goes straight to the favorites and there's no menu or search bar anymore. So to search, you better have all the stations written down because you only get one chance to find stations. It's seriously broken. Maybe it's that I'm on the latest version of Android on my aging, but still supported (and paid for), Pixel 6. I'll change my rating back to 5 stars if this can be fixed... |
| 2024-09-27 |  | | Love(d) it. Then, I stopped paying the $2.99 a year to cut down on expenses as a retiree. Then the ads came which I didn't mind. Now, they're ads that act more like viruses that take over my phone. I only listen to Infowars nowadays, so I'm going to their website or Rumble to listen with the added convenience of watching as well. God save America!!! |
| 2024-09-19 |  | | Used to be a good app with reasonable ads for the free version. Lately, the ads have been ridiculous, which is why I'm deleting it in favor of another radio app. I understand that free versions of these apps have ads, and it's a usually a fair trade-off. But when they increase exponentially over time and overtake the good the app has to offer, it's no longer worth it. I'm so tired of greed just ruining everything. |
| 2024-09-19 |  | | Use this as my main listening radio app, it has everything from single artist search, genre, even old time radio, relaxing nature sounds ( Birds, Rain & Thunder etc ) chill, ambient music even the best of Art Bell. ( from coast to coast ) Fortunately I bought the lifetime subscription for 3$ when it was new! But it does have everything so give it a try 🙃 |
| 2024-08-19 |  | | This is a very good app. No pre-roll or intrusive in stream audio ads like Tunein. It stays connected well. Very easy to use. It has some stations on that I wasn't able to pick up with Tunein. I'm very impressed. What would make this a 5 star review is if I could use the music remote on my smartwatch to play a station so I don't have to take my smartphone out of my pocket. |
| 2024-07-01 |  | | Unless I missed it, not until scrolled a ways down Wifi / Mobile Data is required to use this App. Maybe others think diff but for me the entire reason downloading AM/FM radio is free no connection needed except the free airways.. that's the only reason 1 star. Didn't bother using my data, deleted and found what I was looking for. Hope this helps others. |
| 2024-06-23 |  | | A great app for Android Auto users. There is only one thing I would change, and that would be having "Favorites" as the default playback option instead of "Previous" when used with Android Auto. Everytime I use the app in the car, I have to go through several screen taps to access my favorites. "Previous" also includes many stations I've checked out but didn't care for, and don't want to have to skip through each time I use the app. |
