Reviews of SomaFM Radio Player

  • Extraordinary Vibes

    Still an avid listener, nothing much to add SomaFM is goated. Definitely worth every penny for the app, also show them extra support by buying some merch. *This review wasn’t paid for or influenced in any way.* Just saying show some extra support as they are independent still going strong, all these years. It’s the least we could do to keep it going for many more years. Anyway if you’re into different taste in music, besides the usual pop/rap stuff on everyday radio. Put on some headphones or turn up the speakers, it’s gonna be mystical journey.
  • The best before last 2 updates

    No song history for any channels upon launching app now. Swipe to the right from Now Playing screen shows a blank screen even though Channels icon is displayed in the bottom. Have to tap another icon and back to see channels. Can’t believe these issues still haven’t been fixed after 2 months.

    Edit… bugs have been fixed! Thanks for the quick update. 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!

    Developer Response

    Thanks for the bug report with the swipe right, we missed that. As for the "No song history for any channels upon launching app now" that was a deliberate choice, as many people confused it with an upcoming playlist; but we will be putting it back in because so many people like you like it.
  • one of the last bastions of the good internet

    I've been listening to SomaFM for at least 15 years. "Indie Pop Rocks!", "Groove Salad" and "Metal Detector" are basically my life's soundtrack.

    This is one of what feels like the last few vestiges of the "old" Internet where everything wasn't a subscription, services weren't about "engagement" and funneling your data to brokers and, now, apparently, feeding AI training sets, and building cool things that didn't end in acquisition or IPO was actually cool.

    Thanks for existing!
