★★★★★ "Make it free with Ads.. The other radio apps have ads to keep them free of charge, unless they want to listen ad-free. Include ads to make it free to listen to any radio station if their choice, but keep the premium subscription as optional." - h-buggg

★★★★★ "Used to be good. Now there’s no free option, no ability to play or request a specific track, and the music that does get played is average at best, very few big name artists at all. Sry but for $8 a month it’s just not worth it." - Bling Diggity

Not free
Haven’t been back on the app for a while. I noticed that when I log into my account, it says my free trial has ended and it won’t let me listen with ads.
Paid sub only
Very disappointed, this app used to be free with ads now it is paid only.
Paid Subscription Only?
😩
Nags your for a reviews
Exceptional music streams but my labor for ranking and reviews isn't paid so eff off with your review prompts. You're paid for a service. I'm not your employee.
DELETING NOW
I have seen a review below with somebody complaining that it has gone to subscription only. I agree with them. I saw the response from the developer saying they couldn’t afford to keep that model. Im not sold on their answer. I’m left baffled as to why all my other music apps haven’t gone to the same model as this one has gone to if that is an issue. They seem to be doing fine running ads like this one used to. This results in me deleting this app, which I hate to do because it was a very good app. I’ll find something else.
What is my favorite app for music? F-them now
They force you to upgrade and now you have no ability whatsoever to listen to anything at all zero!!! they used to have ads that you could listen to now, they completely change their business model. And you have no ability to listen to them at all unless you pay for a subscription.
I hate this business model, and will never use this app anymore!!!!!!!! go straight with a theory, you will own nothing and be happy!!!
F- you first world order!!!

Good things come to an end
This used to be a great app.. and I understand paying to hear without ads and enhanced sound quality but to shut the app in our faces and demand money or not use app at all is just a show of disrespect for your loyal listeners, you think this will make wanna pay? No way! I’ll just go listen somewhere else
What the hsck
I’ve been listening to DI FM for 15 years and now no more free version????????
Not Free
This app used to be now they want you to subscribe! With all the non-stop advertising it was bad and now I gotta pay? No Thanks!
WAS GREAT
GOOD BYE DI.FM
Paid service only
This used to be the best app out there. But now it costs you money to subscribe. Peace out DI.FM you lost a dedicated 10 year listener
App is now trash
I restarted my phone and the app is requiring me to log in. That’s annoying in and of itself. The big problem is the app won’t accept the email login even after I reset the password.
Not free anymore
It used to be free to listen to and now it’s not , used to be good for me to listen to and now I dislike it you can’t use it unless you pay to use it BOOOOOO
WAS Amazing.
DI.FM was great when it offered a free tier with ads. It’s disappointing to see that it’s no longer sustainable for them to offer that service. I already pay subscriptions for other services that I use more often, so with the removal of free listening I simply deleted the app. It’s sad to see it go, I probably listened on and off over 15+ years and have great memories from it, but I can’t afford another subscription service these days.
Make it free with Ads.
The other radio apps have ads to keep them free of charge, unless they want to listen ad-free. Include ads to make it free to listen to any radio station if their choice, but keep the premium subscription as optional.
Used to be good
Now there’s no free option, no ability to play or request a specific track, and the music that does get played is average at best, very few big name artists at all. Sry but for $8 a month it’s just not worth it.

There were nothing good about it the music is terrible can’t rewind can’t fast forward and bad overall
They lied, it’s no longer free
Since the last update, they blocked you from listening with commercials by making you subscribe without any button to exit out of it. It’s a nice streaming station before this update .
