★★★★★ "Cannot play iHeartRadio stations. Stay clear away from this app. It cannot play every single radio station as most of them are owned by iHeartRadio and cannot be played on this app. Useless if you ask me. Just use iHeartRadio or Music." - itsmetoeknee36

Cannot play iHeartRadio stations
Stay clear away from this app. It cannot play every single radio station as most of them are owned by iHeartRadio and cannot be played on this app. Useless if you ask me. Just use iHeartRadio or Music.
A lot to be desired
Overall it is an okay app. Yes, you will get access to a lot of channels, but the channels also possess ads. As many as a minute worth of ads before any non-ad content (i.e. music) plays. Also some stations take a long time to load and play. I would recommend other streaming music apps before purchasing this one. I wish I could get my money back.
Watch App still needs to be updated to have favorites and not jump to volume.
Hi, I have been using this app for nearly 3 years. But I generally prefer to use the watch app for convenience. I have noticed with the recent watchOS update that the favorites button is no longer featured. That was a saving grace for me to find my saved stations. Now I have to use the rewind forward buttons which takes away convenience I needed. Also I would like to suggest in future updates to incorporate a recents tab to go back to previous stations as another option for the app user. These can and need to be fixed.
Flaky
A warning, this app has not been maintained, and Siri shortcuts only work intermittently. It’s also not eligible for a straightforward refund request, they’ll ask you to talk to the developer that hasn’t updated in eight months. As a result, I’d have to recommend almost any other streaming radio app.
No HomePod support
Well, based on the description and various reviews - everything looked good.
So, made the purchase and I am sad to not find any HomePod support - as is stated in the description.
I checked everything including Settings and can’t find any way to support HomePod.
Sad.

Runs Hot
Yesterday’s update causes my iPhone 12 to run really hot every time I use the app. Never happened before yesterday’s update. Immediately when I close the app my phone cools down. There’s no link or email to notify them of the bug. I hope they fix it because I like the app but this bug makes it annoying to use.
Too many ads!
Beautifully designed app ruined by far too many over the air ads. Completely ruins the listening experience. I thought by paying for the app upfront I would avoid this. But unfortunately I was mistaken. I feel like I was hoodwinked.
