Nuff Said

Can’t save favourite without paying

Seems to have a good selection of global stations, though the search is not very intelligent. However, it does not let you save ANY favourite stations without paying, which makes this app useless.

Great app!

I agree completely with the kudos on the app website. Great overall design with some really elements - like the station list, preferences and button designs. Rediscovering music made easy!

Best Radio App

This is the only radio app I have found that is able to stream all the stations I want to listen to. The only defect is that it won’t play a CD quality FLAC stream where a station makes that available. If that can be added in an upgrade I would give it 5 stars.

It works, but barely

Unintuitive and unpolished interface, station finder increasingly returns unplayable results.

The Best No-Nonsense Streaming Radio App

There are *so many* streaming radio apps out there. Some are tied to a particular service or broadcaster (Audacy, TuneIn, I Heart Radio, Sirius XM, etc.) But none of them are built to put your interests first, except Triode. It has the best directory of stations, the best stock favorites list, and the best developers behind it – a team with a long track-record of making first class, user-centered software. As a life-long fan of broadcast radio, especially AM and shortwave, it can sometimes feel like my listening options are shrinking. But online streaming is going strong, and a world of amazing stations are just waiting to be found in Triode. If I had one wish for the app, as ridiculous as it sounds, I love the option to introduce some user-configurable artificial static or warble into the output. Download this app, and once you’ve sat with it a bit, buy it. Solid software built for you, not data brokers, is far too rare in iOS-land. This is it.

Best of the bunch

I came back to Triode after trying other options. I still think it’s the best option, but I can’t figure a few things … when I previously used this app (I had paid for it three years in a row), I could see the artist, album art, track for every song for FIP Monde, which I listen to almost all the time. When I came back to Triode recently and purchased the ‘forever’ option, I no longer see this info. I just get the generic FIP Monde art and have to tap on Shazam to ID the song. It shows up briefly on the screen, then disappears. Did something change to make this not possible? I also use to see a + button to quickly add a track to Apple Music, but I no longer see that, either. I’m thinking I must be missing something, but checking the support I don’t see how to fix this. Still, great app. The buffering is superior to other apps I’ve tried, so it doesn’t drop out as often in CarPlay, it seems to me.

Response from developer

FIP recently updated where they put the track & artist info. We updated our database and the app will pick it up automatically in a few days. You can also use Refresh iCloud Data in settings to get the update immediately. Thanks also for the kind words!

Great app!

Really a 4.5. This is a very handy app. It has a variety of different stations, the drag and drop feature and unlimited listening and favourites. Oh and all the features and the app are free! There’s other great features too, but I don’t want to make my review too long. I have no complaints, but I do have a feature request for this app. Add a recent section of the past ten stations a user has listened to.

No good for Australia

Has very limited stations for OZ. Especially in the country. Pity as it is a good app and would like to have all my stations in one app

Excellent support

Besides being simple, uncluttered, efficient, the couple of times I’ve reported an issue, I’ve gotten responses and resolutions within minutes. Thanks
