Fix the lowest sound setting
A music app where u pay once and use for life??!! Yes please. One thing that bothers me is fact that the app needs better support for very low volumes for when AirPods connected. There’s a huge jump in volume going from 5% sound volume to 4%!Packer2020
Outstanding
SomaFM is truly one of a kind. No advertising, no tracking. A pure rarity in todays age where even the most insignificant apps track and sell everything they can get their grubby paws on. I look forward to being a supporter for the foreseeable future.Chaosmouse
Unique soundtrack for life
Greatest app for EVERY mood / event type. From Groove Salad channel for uptempo techno, to Boot Liquor for folk/country, and everything in between. Love the oddball stuff too, like the SFPD police scanner channel with groovy music in background! You discover new tunes and artists all the time. Fantastic.Show lessTsrman
Why can’t we listen to the best streams?
Update: Since I wrote the first review four years ago the default rate in the app has gone up to 128k. This makes me happy and I use it much more!
Old: I love the SomaFM network. Love! I have a monthly donations set up and stations like Poptron, Secret Agent, and Suburbs of Goa power my commute. But why is the bandwidth on the official app so low? I have it set to “Always High” but most of the stations play at 64k AAC. I have the same station playing on a generic radio app and it’s 128 AAC. So the stream is there. Even with cheap earbuds the quality difference is enough to skip the app. It seems a shame. This would be one of my most-used apps if it simply played at a higher bitrate.Show lessMartinkelley
Coding problem
When this app is installed, and Siri is asked for instance “play rhinestone cowboy”, she replies “I need to access your somafm data. Is that okay?” I tried this on my iPhone and my iPad. If you remove the app the question goes away. If you reinstall the app the question reappears.HestoninAZ
Battery drain
I love the app and the music, but it kills my battery life. MUCH more than any other music app.
I want to rate this higher, but my battery shouldn't be draining to empty in just a few hours.

I’ve been a fan and supporter of Soma FM for years. What’s not to like? This commercial free, listener supported streaming music resource is a one-of-a-kind, diverse collection of ever-changing programming that never disappoints. Please, check it out, give it a listen, and support this original musical experience that has literally something for everyone. In case you can’t tell, I LOVE SOMA FM, and you will, too!Show lessBillyRadd
Why have I never found this?
I just discovered SomaFM, which on one hand is great because I now have a 24/7 source of great music, but in the other hand it’s terrible because now I know that I’ve been missing out for years!
Seriously, SomaFM is amazing!Thesupermonkey42
Like College Radio ...
... back in the days when the students did the programming, engineering, and announcing; bought the LPs, beer, and popcorn; slept on the tumbling mats liberated from the ancient gym; and played only music they were passionate about. Music that mattered. Music that just had to be shared with everyone within the area where the signal decided to travel. That’s what Soma brings to these uncertain days. And obviously I think they do it just right.Show lessdaveten
Easy to love and listen
I have listened to Soma for years. So many options and variety of stations and tastes. The app is so easy to just jump right in and go. I appreciate the work these guys do.velker
