Very good app for free but the advertisement is just crazy. I gave this app 5 stars before but now it's downgraded to one because of the ads that force you to access Play Store or any other websites and don't give you the option to close them.
intrusive ads
Totally ruined by adds :(
Since transferring the app from my old phone to the new one (ANDROID 16) most of the radios won't play and I get the message "your station is not available in your country". I am based in the UK and I even get this message when loading BBC radios? The app still works perfectly on my old phone, whether I use WiFi or mobile data. The settings are the same on both phones so I really don't see where the issue is.
Good app if not for the ads. Super annoying and hard to close and skip.
annoying ads , takes forever to load
Totally useless. I just need one very simple thing. I just need to be able to tune into stations that are set up for translation during events, like if it's announced that English translation will be on 101.6. Any transistor radio could do that, but this app there is no way to do the one simple thing that I need.
Edit: The app has surpassed itself in the last year, now has 30 Trackers and 23 Permissions! The app I switched to, with similar features, has 3Trackers and 13 Permissions! I just checked and this app has 12 trackers and 21 permissions! is that really necessary for a online radio app, ridiculous 🙄
Suddenly got stuck in fullscreen ad that opened another app where going back did not work. Garbage!
plays adverts. that is all. says all radio stations are not available. rubbish
Still doesn't work for any radio stations. i'm in the UK and even when trying to listen to UK based radio stations with a UK phone on a UK Vodafone account or my home Wifi, everything I try and play says "this station is not available in your country". Works fine on my partners identical phone and we are not using a VPN. Uninstalled reinstalled, still the same. It's a year since I first reported this and it still hasn't been fixed.
ADs
impossible to use to even trial - ads prevent access at any level. pathetic.
very intrusive adds I understand that adds fund the app. Whatever the specifics were, they had to have been more anoying than usual for me to leave such a comment. I pay for a few apps. I tolerate adds in some in other apps. Thank you for replying.
Getting ads regardless paid for premium...
To many adds now even more annoying, can't afford to wait just to turn the radio on. Devs claim to prepare the app for major upcoming update. Was immediately asked for cookies and ads became worse. Found a really nice open source ad free app available through f-droid called Transistor.
Possibility to find by language would be nice. And what is that review nag? Or premium -50%? I have reviewed and purchased, I want those away!
many aggressive adds, very annoying. changing to other app without adds was a big relief
EDIT; Since my earlier review. the number of Trackers in the app has gone from 13 to 30!! Enough said... I have subscribed to this app for some time, and enjoyed the features and usability, but they have consistently increased the number of trackers to the point where it is no longer acceptable to me. Currently 13 different Trackers detected.
please Reduce Ads and please change app interface😇
I really love this app....but now when I add a custom URL, it plays the URL immediately....if I add lots of URLs, I get throttled by my provider, because it tries to play all of them....please make this the way it used to be, where you can add URLs without it playing them by default.....I can't even listen to my stations anymore, because I'm being blocked....huge problem. A much better way to handle this would be the ability to import a playlist with all stations in it.
