Stops play every 5 minute - recent development
I love this radio app. It’s the best. But recently, perhaps beginning with IOS 16.6, it’s stops playing every 5 minutes. I must restart it manually - every 5 minutes. I deleted and reinstalled 3 separate times without success. The bug happens whether I’m on wifi or using cell data. I sure hope someone sorts this out. I can’t bear the thought of going back to that gruesome Tunein. Please fix!

Response from developer
We're aware of this issue, but need help finding a fix. Please get in contact with us a support.iconfactory.com - thanks!
What I was looking for
Absolutely maddening if I’m working between two access points and the chimes sound every time the phone switches between the two, or between Wi-Fi and cellular. The app becomes unusable in this situation. Really my only complaint but one that makes me not able to use the app.
UPDATE: I’m an idiot and didn’t bother to look in the settings to see if I could turn the chimes off. As it turns out I can, so just ignore what I’ve written prior to this update and just buy the app.

European radio
This app is great place to listen to radio stations from around the world. I’m taking Italian language and love reinforcing lessons by listening to the language in the wild.
I give up.
I purchased a subscription without a problem, but it didn't work. I tried the solutions suggested in the app. Nothing worked, no help at the developer website. I let the subscription expire, tried again. Nope. It feels like abandonware, not what I expected from the Icon Factory.
Almost perfect
Quick to pick up when a station drops out; easily find / customise stations; same great (simple) interface on all my devices… I really want a sleep timer though.
Promising but disappointing
I was thrilled to find and purchase a forever subscription to this app from Icon factory.
What’s great:
- No Tracking — Respects privacy
- iPhone, CarPlay, iPad, Mac, and AppleTV versions
- Great station selection
What’s disappointing:
- Search is broken on AppleTV version
- Search field *forever* obscured after entering search term
- App must be deleted after each search in order to search for something new
This appears to be a problem on AppleTV only; however this issue kills the multi platform value of the app — so 1 star until issue is corrected.

Does not steam consistently
On full bars of LTE or 5G the station drops out. I own the station, the issue is not the station.
Good internet radio app
Used for months and does the job well. There’s a good built in selection and the ability to manually add stations is a godsend.
This app is far more polished and usable than similar ones still in the App Store. The option to purchase with a one time payment instead of a subscription is appreciated.
Just wished there was ogg opus support.

Great Radio App
Really like this app on the iPhone and Mac. The only thing missing for a 5 Star rating is the availability to rewind by 30 second intervals. Sometimes I’d like to listen to a song that played again and at this point I don’t see a way to go back. Please add this feature.
great, well-designed app
The thing just works, and beautifully. There’s very little friction to get from wanting to listen to a station to actually listening to a station, or to flip through stations to find something that clicks on your head. Remember classic dashboard radios and the drop-dead simplicity that encourages easfull aural wandering? It’s like that. It has gotten me to enjoy music again.
