★★★★★ "Good app, have had it for years but, it has never worked well. Runs slower than windows 95. Phone and app are currently updated and while writing this I've been waiting 15 minutes for the channel I clicked on to respond and pages to load." - Steve Clements

★★★★★ "It was a good basic podcast app but the latest version seems to have gone even more backwards. when I filter to show unplayed episodes only ALL episodes show up. this is a fairly recent bug as it functioned in an earlier release." - john mercuri

constantly stops playing, this app has just gotten worse and worse in the last 3 months, they completely stuffed it when they rolled out the new version after massive complaints they somewhat fixed it, now it is just full of bugs again, a very frustrating app to use!! and yes I've re downloaded multiple times to try and sort the issues update 5-4-26 I didn't think it was possible for the app to get worse but somehow it has, connected to WiFi and constant buffering. have deleted and reinstalled
Website required app to listen to radio station for more than 2min. Downloaded app, long process to create account. Now, the radio won't play on the app - it constantly cuts off within milliseconds of playing, unlike the website. I'm also unable to have it play in the background, unlike the website. Very, very disappointed.
takes forever to log in
WHAT IS IT WITH THIS APP,SHUTTING DOWN AT RANDOM,DURING THE EASTER COUNTDOWN??????YET THE ADS JUST KEEP GOING AND GOING AND GOING ??? DON'T YOU DARE SAY YOU'RE "SORRY".JUST FIX IT.
1 star cause it doesn't work on this device!! not compatible pfffft...why not :(
This app sucks because it won't work on Android auto unless it is set to stay on top of other apps. This interferes with the use of my phone like sending messages etc because it overrides any app you are using. You turn Lister off,,, it turns itself on again over the app your using. Other apps work on Android auto without this obtrusive setting. Fix it then 5 starts; until then........... UPDATE: Uninstalled. Found a better app; NONSTOPRADIO No sign up, wants no information and works flawlessly.
it won't except my email or my password
tried to make an account but there's no option other than logging into already made accounts. guess im sticking with iheartradio
lots of questions just to sign up, limited radio station available. back to radioapp for me
worst app 500 plus episodes on a podcast listened to 3 years worth of it. then decides it won't load where I'm up to and has gone back to December 2023 and won't load more. also won't load other podcasts past a certain point. cleared my app cache uninstalled and reinstall. log out and back in still doesn't fix problem. turn phone on and off also reset phone still no fix
Had to uninstall this rubbish app as it would only work if I gave it permission to appear on top of other apps. If I wanted to open another music app, Listnr would switch the other app off and override it.
claims to have radio station on the adverts but they do not. Avoid
I can't remember my password not enabling me to reset I'm love this app
Garbage. Says you must create an account, but it only takes you to the login page. Nowhere to actually create an account. Thus is unusable, because you can't use the app unless you have an account. Must be the cheapest out sourced app they could create.
the app no longer opens. I've uninstalled and reinstalled but it crashes each time just as it is opening. devastated. is there anything I can do?
The app needs to be fixed. I redownloaded the app after a few months ths hoping for this not to happen again. As I mostly use in the car but when exiting the app, it reopens the app and you can never fully close it which is annoying. Only option is to delete the app AGAIN!!
I stopped using it around 3 months ago because it was slow, tried again yesterday and its worse. back to Spotify.
worked once couldn't get it to start again
In spite of following the link to create an account it defaults to a sign on screen(s) which of course fails. btw I'm an NSW resident and location is on. So I can't use the app. grrrr!
It was a good basic podcast app but the latest version seems to have gone even more backwards. when I filter to show unplayed episodes only ALL episodes show up. this is a fairly recent bug as it functioned in an earlier release.
i stream the app via android auto. when i have a map session going the classic rovk channel plays 1 and a bit songs then stops with the message "something went wrong". no maps and the app works. so interaction with other apps is not good and seems not tested. sadly cannot use app when navigating to a destination. and yes i have the latedt version of android, android auto and listnr installed.
great concept being able to listen to radio stations, however the app is always dropping out making it very frustrating to use. I have tried persisting and installing updates, however I find myself spending just as much time reconnecting and restarting the app as I do listening. if they fix that problem, I would use this app a lot more.
Better organisation, better range elsewhere. Hardly use this app
Good app, have had it for years but, it has never worked well. Runs slower than windows 95. Phone and app are currently updated and while writing this I've been waiting 15 minutes for the channel I clicked on to respond and pages to load.
I gave up on this app pretty quickly, which is a shame because I was interested in the content. Kept crashing and hard to keep organised compared to other apps.
something has changed in 2026 and the stream keeps stopping. It is very frustrating and I am now looking for a new app.
clunky app drops out constantly and it's not the connection
Cannot see all smart speakers. will not see Amazon echo studio smart speaker. edit: I only see Google devices, no Alexa devices. This is the same on 3 devices and android phone
This app has such simple requirements - play episodes chronologically. It somehow fails at this. From episode 65 it'll suggest episode 52 that you finished 95% of 2 weeks ago. Autoplay somehow also fails and just sits there for a few minutes waiting for the next episode. When you do exit the play menu into the episode list, like you constantly have to do, you have to scroll down all the episodes to find where you're at - if you're on episode 300 - have fun scrolling
