I've had Simple Radio for years now and liked it so much that I paid for the Premium Plan. I believe it needs to be updated. Ever since getting the newest Android phone, the broadcast plays for only a few minutes before crashing. This needs to be fixed. When this issue has been fixed, I will remove this comment and change the review to the 5 star rating it used to have.
too much unskippable app ads. iheartradio does everything this app does without the obnoxious ads
not offline working
Displayed Scam Advertisement, which stated my device has been compromised by 92 viruses.
too many advert between stations, unusable, ZERO stars
good application
Android Auto Issue. since last update I cant use Simple Radio in my vehicle. Android Auto does not recognize Simple Radio and I have to change station via phone screen.
useless. can not find any local stations. CONSTANT ADS EVERYWHERE
Ads don't go away at all
to many adds
I don't recommend. It does not have controls from any type of headphones, not USB, nor Bluetooth. Only controls from phone work. Tried on different phones and with different headphones. The app keeps the screen always turned on. I sent them three emails on their three different addresses. They never replied. not even with a bot.
requires a subscription and loaded with popup ads. no thanks, I'll just keep my stereo.
I installed this app 10 minutes ago but wasn't able to listen to a single station. It just bombarded me with ads. Uninstalled right away.
Full screen ads for stupid games that can't be skipped.
Was working fine, but after last update it drains my battery more than any other app in my phone, unbelievable, even in background. * had to uninstall it.
Annoying tik tok add appears. I cannot get back to the app interface, I cannot close the tik tok add.
all sound ads no music
I have never seen more ads than here
updated 4\27\26: suddenly, after a week or so, I started getting continuous ads where could not even listen to one song. gave up & uninstalled. original review early April: As an elder, I was not aware we could get"old time" radio again! Find stations you like & let them play. Even with the ads, they are not obtrusive.
was a great app to use with Android Auto, but since April it stopped working after a few seconds of playback and rhen 'diaspears' from my Android Auto apps
