★★★★ Andy Knight 5/6/2026 v2.8.2
Bloody awful
★★★★ Martin Walter 5/6/2026 v2.8.2
Broken again! The 'For You' page is now blank. Clearing the cache and data did restore it for a while, but now blank again on re-opening.
★★★★ Grant Darnley 5/6/2026 v2.8.2
can't use it without an account, uninstalled
★★★★ linda fennerkin45 5/3/2026 v2.8.2

★★★★ Jeff Bond 5/2/2026 v2.8.2
Trying to log in after time away and unable to do so after attempting to reset password. Also unable to reregister
★★★★ Rav 4/30/2026 v2.8.2
I open the app and get a blank screen.
★★★★ Steve Brande 4/29/2026 v2.8.2
Since the latest update I can no longer access "for you" and my favourites. The screen is blank.
★★★★ Mark Scott 4/29/2026 v2.8.2
Keep on disconnecting all the time
★★★★ linda fennerkin45 4/28/2026 v2.8.2
my premium settings have suddenly ceased to work on my tab im paying each month so why
★★★★ Simon Smith 4/22/2026 v2.8.1
Rarely works, very frustrating!
★★★★ emma 4/16/2026 v2.8.0
only using this so I can listen to planet rock, but it is constantly buffering and crashing lately
★★★★ Steve Smith 4/14/2026 v2.8.0
App is great but the constant request to enable notifications is getting annoying. I don't want to be notified, I am happy to allow adverts when using the app but do not want to be pestered when im not using it.
★★★★ Nicholas Francis 4/6/2026 v2.8.0
App needs more work! having to login every few days to use the app is annoying along with having to reset the password periodically, it could do with downloading more data so that when you hit no signal for a minute it doesnt cut out, randomly stops playing and you have to force close app and then restart it.
★★★★ Rob Filby 4/4/2026 v2.8.0
keeps saying "Something went wrong. Please try again later" when trying to log in
★★★★ Mark Miller 4/1/2026 v2.8.0
Why am I hearing ads for pg tips tea and cheerios? I pay the premium to avoid your adverts!
★★★★ Will Patey 3/19/2026 v2.7.6
Good enough app for playing radio, but it needs to stop asking for permission to send me notifications every single time I open the app. I've said no countless times, and once should be enough. Stop trying to force harassment on me through notifications I obviously don't want. The Kerrang Radio app "coincidentally" stopped working properly when the Rayo app appeared. Just please stop begging me to allow more notifications on my phone and I might give more stars.
★★★★ Mike Chant 3/19/2026 v2.7.6
Two real problems, still no casting like Planet Rock App and Android Auto is horrible to use. You have to go through all the stations to get to the one you want to play every time. Often, it will fail to work and I have to revert back to the Planet Rock app
★★★★ Colin Tooze 3/11/2026 v2.7.6
Rubbish, keeps cutting out and re-starting/jumping. Needs a massice overhaul.
★★★★ Adrian Pickles 3/11/2026 v2.2.1
Absolute shite. Keeps failing. Tried numerous times to delete and reinstall but still doesn't work properly.
★★★★ Jamie Brady 3/5/2026
Was great, now requires an account
★★★★ Asa Powell 3/2/2026 v2.7.6
constant errors when listening to planet rock that force channel change, then have to re-select original station to continue listening.
★★★★★ jezzab233 5/7/2026 v2.8.2
For such a large media organisation, this app is a poor reflection of its resources. It's clunky to use and navigate, often some elements just dissappear. The dedicated Planet Rock was far better- at least I could easily find the shows and content with that version whereas the Rayo app is awful.
★★★★★ Tinker Drums 5/6/2026 v2.8.2
I can only access radio stations by going to the Schedules page. Everything else comes up with an error
★★★★★ DAVE MIKA 5/4/2026 v2.8.2
Another update and gone worse some parts load some parts don't.
★★★★★ terry sharpe 5/3/2026 v2.8.2
this App crashed tonight for a few hours. couldn't log into account so had to create a new one due to App fault.. won't be subscribing again..
★★★★★ Karen Christie 5/3/2026 v2.2.1
premium subscription but the app says it's unavailable. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, restarted phone. Still nothing
★★★★★ Graham Carter 4/30/2026 v2.8.2
could be much better. main problems are app is unable to recover from a poor network connection. on android auto you just get an unhelpful source error. on the phone, the main page just doesn't load. also, when using android auto, I have just one favourite station. but when I use the app, I have to touch the screen 3 times to get this running. you should be able to start the app and with one press get your favourite running. This would make it safer to use when driving.
★★★★★ David Freeman 4/25/2026 v2.8.1
I can't get the app to work and am finding that even the original radio app for Greatest Hits, is now switching off when the screen closes to save the battery. when I open it most of the controls and settings have disappeared. I have tried emptying the cache, reinstalling and anything else you could think of, but it's no go. I have been contacted by the developers to help, but will just use my car DAB and home dab radios, instead, as it's too much hassle to sort at the moment. Moto G range phone
★★★★★ richard elsey 3/4/2026 v2.7.6
Real glitchy Contant crashes. The things I put up with for pop master....
★★★★★ John Young 2/28/2026 v2.7.6
App works well with fast WiFi. Requies lots of buffering if on mobile data. This also seems to get worse the longer you use the app until it just won't play.
★★★★★ Father Tiresias 2/27/2026 v2.7.6
Rayo cuts out continuously on my Echo smart speaker system whilst I have no problem with iPlayer. Also it has no pause feature on live broadcasts. Better off using a DAB radio for live broadcasts. This app is very poor.
