Better selection....
Is needed for the Seattle Tacoma area. Only a couple of the better stations are supported.Boggiefred999
Great Radio Player for the IPad
Best radio player I have tried and I have tried a few. All it needs is an option to customise the stations logos as the ones available detract from the overall look of the program.480,671,000

Thanks for the rating and the review, we really appreciate it. The ability to customize the station logo is coming. It's a bit tricky since that artwork needs to sync across iOS, macOS & tvOS. It's on the list to do however so try and hang in there. Enjoy using Triode!Now with added track history…
…which was the one thing stopping this from being a five star app for me. Now that’s been added, this is just about everything I could ask for in a radio player.mr_phillip

Phillip, thanks for your rating & review! Glad you're enjoying the new Track History feature, we think this is a great addition, esp when you're in the car so you can not worry about looking at your phone. Safety is key. Enjoy Triode and thanks again!Great app for car/commuting
I lose reception to my local jazz station on my commute but this app keeps me tuned in. Love being able to cycle through my favorites using prev/next buttons on my steering wheel.NoAirPlay!

Glad you're enjoying Triode! Thanks for taking the time to leave us your rating and review we appreciate it a great deal.Potential
Well, there is potential here. But they’ve launched with a half-finished product.
Way too many stations are missing, and when you do find them there are oddities that just aren’t there in TuneIn: there are two KUOW streams listed. One has the correct logo, but won’t play anything. The other plays but doesn’t have a logo. For KEXP there are three streams available, but no info about their quality. Of the several stations I’ve found in Israel only a couple show up. In their BBC listing they are missing BBC Radio 4, although you can find it through search.
If a station doesn’t have a logo you can change it between a serious of rather ugly logos, which is a one-way street of clicking through the options. Why not give an option to just show the station’s call letters? Or, even better, to upload a picture?
And when you find a station you have to start playing it before you read any information about it. Really annoying for looking for new stations.
If I see improvements by the end of the trial I’ll likely subscribe. Iconfactory definitely has the track record and skill to make this happen. I would love an app that would allow me to simply start my favorite stations without shoving a bunch of ads at me. Ironically, I’m leaving TuneIn to come to here for the same reason I left Twitterific to head to Tweetbot: I paid for the pro version of TuneIn and am now bombarded with ads, like I was with Twitterific. Luckily, Iconfactory seems to be handling things better with Triode and it all seems fair to me.
One feature I’d love to see is landscape support on the phone. When you plug it in and prop it somewhere the phone is in landscape, not portrait. It amazes me that more music and clock apps don’t support landscape. Please add this.Show lessrcniman
Great alternative to TuneIn
As other apps take the route of adding ads as and premium levels, this is a simple alternative.
Feature request: allow me to make folders or pages/screens of channels. Sometimes I want talk or classic rock or alternative. I want to move between similar stations not step thru every station. Thanks.Show lessPhilM543

Thanks for the great feedback, it's really appreciated. Made a note for your request. Can't promise anything but the suggestion is a good one, so thanks for that and thanks for taking time to leave your rating and review. We really appreciate it.Trust Has Been Burned
I would give this App 5 stars only if it would have not started charging me a monthly subscription when I paid the $20 for unlimited use. I was a little disappointed to see the charge today on my bank account. I will update this review once the developers fixes its mistake. I really do love this app & all of its cool interfaces but “trust” is a big factor for me when I download apps. Right now I’m not feeling that with Triod. Please Triod help make this right. I will wait (72) hours before I delete & cancel this app. Thank you.Show lessToñito2028

Sorry you're having trouble and I'd be happy to help if I can. The best way is for you to write to us directly at support@iconfactory.com so we can communicate via email. That said you should simply be able to head to Manage My Subscriptions in your App Store app and cancel the current subscription to stop it from renewing. If you purchased the lifetime option then you should still have access to favorites and high-quality art. Best to write us though and we'll go from there. Be aware with Christmas and New Years it may take a day or more to respond since we're currently on vacation. Thanks.Best radio app in the App Store
After using several others over the years, Triode comes in and takes the internet radio crown. It has art, syncs stations between devices (yay!), has a good search function, and does it all with an uncluttered, delightfully simple interface. It makes me happy every time I use it to play public radio while making coffee in the morning or playing some music to work or relax.
Triode has some UI oddities and needs a little more polish to make some of the interactions feel truly modern. An option for custom art from the web or any image file would be a nice touch too (some radio stations don’t provide a great default).
Since it’s at the top of a somewhat weak set of options in the App Store, it gets five stars. If the devs (thank you!) keep hammering away with regular updates, it could go from great to sublime.Show lessreflectivecone

Thanks for your review, we really appreciate it. The ability to customize station artwork is on the list to do for a future update. A bit tricky since this art you upload needs to sync across iOS, macOS and tvOS all at the same time. We want it too but its going to take a little work. In the meantime thanks for taking the time to review us, enjoy using Triode!Supports CarPlay, but notifications annoyance
Really enjoy the fact that this app works with CarPlay. Works really well.
Only one annoyance. Can’t change the settings on notifications.pemayes
Grateful for this app.
Thank you App Store for featuring this a few weeks ago. I love internet radio and am running low on playlists on YouTube which cater to my less than common tastes (plus I won’t pay for the ability to lock my own phone.) This app does a wonderful job of searching all over the world for good stations which fit the bill. I used it for free without any issues for at least three weeks and for the ability to save favorites I thought 99c a month fair. I was using radio dot net prior and some of those same stations are available here, I prefer this interface however, and this offers many many more station choices. I’m sort of meh about the prepicked options on the main page but since I already know what genres I’m looking for it doesn’t matter to me. I agree with the other reviewer about discovery too.. that was always what radio was about, discovery. This brings back some of that fun. Glad to have this app and I’m excited to see it develop.Show lessNINfan1999
