★★★★★ "Why is there 1940s on 1920s?. Years ago, the station was wonderful with 1920s radio music. Tonight I’m listening to it for the first time in quite a while, and I’m hearing things from the 1940s. That isn’t fun." - Dackelmommy

Why is there 1940s on 1920s?
Years ago, the station was wonderful with 1920s radio music. Tonight I’m listening to it for the first time in quite a while, and I’m hearing things from the 1940s. That isn’t fun.
Radio?
I thought radio was a free speech? As in no fees. Oh I guess gotta make a dollar in this so called “land of the free”.
Buggy
Pauses for no reason when I go to certain Facebook pages. CarPlay app doesn’t load after a few uses and the app has to be reinstalled. Been going on for months.

It’s killing us!!!
These lawyers’ advertisements (Yadidi, and the rest ) have become so so ANNOYING !! Please limit them !!
Liars
Liars! I paid for the subscription, and there were 2 minutes and 30 seconds of local commercials, and I couldn't even listen to the station properly. The station plays for 1 minute and 30 seconds, then they cut it off and play local ads. Maybe you don't play your own ads, but you certainly play local ones. You even show more ads than the apps that don't charge anything! How frustrating!
A Terrible App!
It is a terrible app with endless commercials after I paid for “no commercials”, what a scam! A waste of money.
Horrible App
One ad after the other and so many stations are not available. The apps in the US a few a total joke compared to our UK apps. Very inferior and a waste of time.
Malfunction
I can’t tune in my hometown radio 710 Kiro, so I can’t listen to the Mariners Game 7 with the Mariners’ announcers!!!
Ad rate increased and do not match the broadcast’s break clock.
Free app made purposely worse to steer you towards paying for a subscription
Goodbye
Was a good app, until you started playing adds spreading blatant lies. Good riddance to lying garbage.
App is a Privacy Nightmare
This app has an absolutely horrific privacy policy. Everything you do on your phone and everywhere you go, your location, is tracked by this app. YOU are the product. YOUR privacy is sold for money. One star review.
What is the music?
I decided to try radio.net for the first time. I have been listening for the past 15 minutes of ads. Is this an ad station or music station?
Um ,yankee game ?
In NJ cant get NY game ….
Ads and Tracking
This used to be a good app, but now they do not let you opt out of tracking and ads. The only way you can “opt out” is to go with the paid version. Deleted.
All ads !
All ads only !
Ads every time you press a button
Half stations don’t work and every time you press play it’s a silent pop up ad..super annoying, so I downloaded “radioapp” and guess what…it’s free, all stations work and there’s no ads!!! Deleted this app! With so many negative reviews, you guys need to step it up if other free radio apps are free without ads and stations that all work
Garbage app
Downloaded the app to not have ads and listened to ads for 5 min before I heard my first track.
Ad loaded visuals
Careful not to accidentally sign on push ads
International radio
Unstable connections to internal radio , disappointing.
Too many ads
If you disconnect and reconnect it restarts the ads.
Advertisement
I did pay a subscription so no advertising in my app while listening to music but nothing change. Advertisement come like bf so its a lie! I cancelled bc im not going to pay again if things are the same.
Constant interuptions
A song plays. A commercials breaks it off and in the middle of the commercial another commercial starts its constant its like 3 commercials trying to get in with in 30 seconds. Its messy!
What’s with the ads !
I have been using this app for a very long time and I’m usually very happy with it. I don’t mind ads. I know it’s free so I don’t mind the ads but anymore, anytime my phone rings or I get a text message. I get booted off air and have to listen to ads to get back on and it’s happening more aggressively and frequently which tells me you guys are soaking in money. It’s annoying. I just got an alert on my phone and it knocked me off, listening to what I was listening to and I had to listen to an ad all over again. It’s really annoying to have to listen to ads all of the time. Like I said, I don’t mind it’s free, but this is just getting ridiculous the last few weeks I’ve just been horrible.
Pop-Up Ads!!!
I downloaded the app yesterday. It had all my AM and FM stations I wanted. That was Great. What was Not So Great was trying to actually Playing my station!
Seems you have to swim through an endless stream of POP-UP ADS to get access to the station. I deleted the app.
