The best
Simply the best online radio station out there. Feels like yesterday when I discovered GrooveSalad on Winamp about 20 years ago. Glad that some things never change. Thanks Rusty.skiiballa
SOMA Heaven!
I've been listening to SOMA FM stations through other apps for years- i don't know why i suddenly thought to look for their own app yesterday. Finally!! It's so great. I have an update wish- on the Apple TV version : can you add 'Now Playing' to the top menu??robpreuss
Soma FM itself is indispensable. But needs a watch app
Soma FM is amazing and the phone app is good. I just really wish it offered an Apple Watch app so we could stream on a cellular Apple Watch without a phone.Crunchewy
Great App & Music, iOS Update Prob.
Love the app and great selection of music; listen to it a lot. It seems that a recent iOS update causes a conflict that didn’t exist before. Adjusting the volume on the app causes a similar adjustment to the master volume control for my iPhone. If Soma volume is turned down for drifting off to sleep, the phone won’t ring, etc. Missed some calls before got it figured out; easy to demonstrate. Using iPhone SE, some other phones may not be affected.Show lessSleepless In Poughkeepsie
Wonderful, Magical, Life-saving!
This station has been part of my life since I was 16 (I’m now 34). It’s gotten me through many long nights of studying or even longer drives to my parent’s house. I do a little happy dance every time they play a song recognize on Indie Pop Rocks! and another when they play a song I love that’s new to me. I donate every year because this site/app has been priceless to me. BAGEL Radio is another favorite and I can’t wait for Christmas every year. SomaFM, I LOVE YOU!Show lessmodernfemale
Years and years of amazing music from SOMA FM
Groove salad has been a part of my life for 17 years now. I love everyone who created soma fm and kept soma fm alive. so glad it is still going strong. Groove salad is the best ambient / downtempo station I have ever been able to find.Dave T SF
Excellent app - and an easy way to support independent radio!
Sure you can listen to these channels free on the SomaFM website, but this app is just so convenient and polished.
So go ahead, chuck them a few bucks to buy the freakin app already! You’ll be helping them to keep the tunes flowing, and you won’t regret it! :)glide.slowly
Going strong still terrific
Rusty Hodges and team have created an excellent curated series of stations free independent minded music fan! Do yourself a favor tune in pay the eight bucks you won’t regret it!!mark93030
Great for indie music
Update:
The more I use the app the more I like it. I got a response that the song that is playing is on top— which is good to know. You can bookmark it too (press & hold song) so that you can find it later.
I really enjoy listening to the Underground 80s and also DEF CON a lot. And I’m sure that soon I will find more channels that I like as well. This is a hidden gem that takes time getting used to.

Love the idea of this radio app— no ads, just music. However the interface could be more user friendly. It’s hard to tell which song is playing so by the time you want to click on it favorite it it might be over. Took me a while to figure out how to do even that. My favorite station is the Indie Pop.
But I also like Left Coast 70s, PopTron and Vaporwaves— though I haven’t really listened to them much. Good app for indie music without ads, yet it could definitely be improved by highlighting which song is playing. And more genres/ stations would be better because it’s limited. Nice overall.Show lesssarasarasarAAA
Developer Response
Hi! Just to clarify this is our app for listening to SomaFM's broadcasts, we are a dj-driven, human curated radio service. The top of the list is the song now playing, the rest of the list is the history of what we have played before that. That's also why we're limited in the genres/formats we broadcast; we're not trying to complete with other popular radio services-- we're trying to provide music programming that is hard to find other places. Glad you're enjoying some of our channels!
