Thank you for maintaining this application!

Still Works iOS 17

Fstream still working in iOS 17! The interface is dated, but so is listening to radio streams. Thanks to the developer for building a solid app with the feature not found elsewhere in streaming client apps.

Great

This is great in the same way as the mac of version, which is the best radio app anyone ever designed. It would be amazing if there was a way to export the .plist bookmarks from the mac version to the iphone version!

Brilliant!

Great piece of work. It would be magic if one could swipe through stations. Still-what an app!!

Partially functional

The Stop / Play / Pause buttons are not working properly anymore with the latest iOS. And switching station freezes the app. A force quit and launching the app again allows to select another station. But overall, the app is slowly loosing its great functions due to Apple pushing new OS updates that break apps that aren't up to date.
It's been one of the best simple radio apps for adding your own custom streams and without adverts or monthly subscription. I hope it will receive a new update to address the current issues. πŸ™βœ¨

Can't speak highly enough!

2020 EDIT: Classic and still works great as ever. Bravo, FStream team!

I've been using this app for over a year - originally on my 2G iPod Touch and now on an iPhone 3G. This is the best audio streaming application available on the iPhone or iPod touch, AND it's open-source! It comes with a great pre-loaded list of Internet radio stations that you can add to your favorites list. My only complaint is that by default, it doesn't switch smoothly from a 3G data connection to Wifi, or vice versa. However, with a little fiddling of the settings (switch buffer drop to 20%), it will work just fine! Now, I can walk around my college campus, seamlessly switching between Wifi and 3G while continuously listening to Internet radio. Thanks, FStream!

Unique functionality

I really struggled to find an app that would allow me to play a stream from URL; I’m listening to various hydrophones worldwide and they’re not hosted radio streams, so other apps never cut it. This is a great tool. Thank you!

Clean, works perfectly

First a huge THANK YOU to the author, Julien-Pierre Averous for updating this app for iOS 11!

FStream provides a clean interface and accepts your stream URLs for easy playback. The streams run in the background, so you can switch apps and still listen. The app supports an enormous number of stream formats and also auto detects, if you don't know the format.

This one's a keeper!!!

Excellent

I am very happy, thank you.
Your app lets me listen to shoutcast streams that I like directly and simply. Exactly what I was looking for.
Easy to add new streams. No clutter good U.I. Impressed me.

Must have

Chromecast Pleeeease....:)

My 1st choice for streaming HQ audio, when some connections throttle other apps down to lower quality audio, this app will always give you HQ. Now if it would only get Chromecast or Airdrop it would be Amazing!
