intrusive ads. edit- I understand ads pay feees, but some intgerations are not disruptive. here they are, with aggressive popups, timers and tiny close buttons. .makes app a pain to use.
was a good app at first, but the pop-up ads are very annoying beeping ads have made the app unusable, clearly just trying to force people to pay for no ads! I understand there has to be ads but they don't have to be the worst beeping ads ever and it's not worth paying for ad free I am just going to uninstall and hope everyone else does the same
This has become unusable! Just try listening to Talksport Radio. Constant 5 mins long adverts repeatedly. And best of all the adverts are always American so not even relevant. The best one though is when it plays on hold music for minutes! honestly, not even an advert. look elsewhere for the sake of your sanity.
was great for a week, but now spontaneously stops every 5 minutes...as I'm using it on motorcycle this is 'kin infuriating. maybe something broke it in an update? .....if not broken don't try to fix, FFS!!!
rubbish. Worst radio app that I have tried
almost unusable now with too many adverts.... 5 minutes battling aliexpress and kitchen designer adverts... JUST WANT TO LISTEN TO THE RADIO
This app's data collection practices are completely excessive and unjustifiable for a simple radio streaming application. There is no legitimate reason why a radio app should request access to precise location data, Wi-Fi network identifiers, Bluetooth scan records, and other sensitive information that can be used to track users' movements and habits. The level of data harvesting described in the privacy policy is deeply concerning and represents a serious intrusion into user privacy.
Drains battery, even when not in use, and never opened since restarting. Relies on you turning battery optimisation off or it can't work when phone is locked. No idea what It is doing in the background. Don't trust it
horrendous ads, absolutely plagued by ads and unusable... opens dh gate every 2 seconds
5 mins in it starts on screaming alarms, and trying to force you to update wifi, instal other things. Actively threatening and seems very scammy. AVOID
The app worked well enough, but I uninstalled it because of the amount of battery power it used.
