Streams stop or app crashes often. ### 3/5 — Won’t work with Apple CarPlay *2024-06-08, version 2.3.3* The app doesn’t show up on CarPlay? ### 3/5 — Great variety radio app *2021-07-01, version 2.3.3* I liked the old versions which had a lot more channels. Now it seem like they condensed channels into one basic channel. While I still like it there’s is no alternative music station or 80’s hair band station like in old version. To me this feel like downgrade like what happened to jazz all those other station specific stations. I’ll still use the app but to improve and take away channels. Ugh ### 3/5 — streaming addd *2020-06-22, version 2.2.3* please remove the stream add let us hear direct to the live stream ### 3/5 — Please update *2017-10-28, version 2.1* Please update the app to be compatible with latest iOS. Thanks. ### 4/5 — Update *2017-10-11, version 2.1* Can you update your app for the new iOS 11. I love the app and music station but I doesn't work now with the new iOS update ### 2/5 — Reds an update *2017-09-25, version 2.1* Does not work on IOS 11 ### 2/5 — Ne fonctionne pas avec la version d’IOS 11.0 *2017-09-21, version 2.1* Ce serait agréable que l’application soit mise à jour ### 4/5 — Great app except IOS11 *2017-09-20, version 2.1* Worked great for me, but just installed IOS11 and it works no more. Goodbye 181FM. ### 4/5 — Works well!! *2017-07-13, version 2.1* Needs to be updated to work better with current IOS. ### 5/5 — PLEASE UPDATE THE APP TO IOS 10+ please it's mom *2017-03-20, version 2.1* Update the app please this app is amazing for going to bed while playing some chillin ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Sad, but true *2026-06-21, version 2.3.3* Being in Britain, I loved this application, as it enabled me to listen to country music on US181, but for some reason , I am unable to listen to anything . ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-07-06, version 2.3.3* I have tried to delete it and re get it but it won’t work and won’t even let me look in the types of music ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore *2025-03-07, version 2.3.3* Can’t select any station. Would be great if it was updated with Siri/carplay support to play the great stations on here. Have to use the safari website and load it up every time I get in the car. ### 1/5 — 🤷🏻‍♂️ *2024-06-07, version 2.3.3* Great radio. Worse app ever. Doesn’t work at all ### 1/5 — Does not work with new iPad *2024-06-06, version 2.3.3* I love this app. I have it on my Android phone and works great, unfortunately I cannot get it to work on my new iPad. ### 1/5 — Update needed! *2018-12-16, version 2.2.3* Looking at this on an iPad is atrocious at best. Love 181 to death, but this app needs to be updated for 2019! ### 1/5 — Porn pictures-really!! *2018-01-31, version 2.2.3* I’ve been using this app for a few years & love it, but deleted it today when one of the photos it showed during a song was FULL ON PORN!! Not only do my children seriously NOT need to be exposed to this crap; I don’t need to see it either. Get your act together 181!!! ### 1/5 — Doesn't Work *2014-02-01, version 1.1* I press a radio station, a song plays for about 2 seconds, then it stops and says "buffering" and doesn't start playing again. Don't waste your time downloading this garbage app. It doesn't work. ### 2/5 — Only works on some devices *2022-10-14, version 2.3.3* It’s very odd. This app works perfectly on my old iPhone 6s, but steadfastly refuses to operate (opens but stations don’t load) on my newer iPhone 12 Pro. Both are running same version of IOS. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work *2019-07-12, version 2.2.3* On my iPhone XS Max. I could have sworn it worked before, but not anymore or at least today...maybe it works only when on wi-fi? Why are there 2 181.fm apps in the App Store? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works on i-phone at last *2021-08-24, version 2.3.3* Good to see this app finally works on my i-phone and sounds good too ### 5/5 — LOVE the Awesome 80’s channel!! *2021-02-17, version 2.2.3* Best 80’s mix I’ve found, better than Spotify. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2018-10-14, version 2.2.3* One of very best internet radio stations out there. Get this and enjoy! ### 5/5 — Great SHOUTcastRadio alternative! *2018-06-02, version 2.2.3* If they would update the user interface and have a paid version that didn’t have adds, I would pay for this app. Also, when using Bluetooth, when disconnected, starts playing on your phone where if left off from the connection. But still a 5* app. ### 5/5 — 😤 *2017-11-07, version 2.1* I like this version of the app better just needs updated for ios. Why the change? Frustrated with new version by designer Jon Stevenson ### 5/5 — Please update. *2017-10-21, version 2.1* For all of your loyal listeners that use Apple, please update. I listen to you daily on my iPad and now I can’t due to the IOS update 😢 ### 5/5 — Update to IOS 11. *2017-09-22, version 2.1* Love the app and music. Please update. ### 5/5 — Needs updatw *2017-09-21, version 2.1* Cant use this until its updated for ios11 ### 5/5 — Stupid ad *2017-09-06, version 2.1* I love this app but I'm getting sick of hearing fibre op ad please get rid of it ### 5/5 — Review *2017-09-01, version 2.1* This is a great App. Please update it so it can be used on IOS 11. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
