Ridiculous app that plays games with user
Why does this app have to make it a game in order to close ads? Bad enough that an add comes up each time you try to change stations but it won’t place the ad close icon in the same place. It could be an X at the top left or top right or bottom middle. The X can be very small or non existent. It could be a close button. Sometimes a video will play with a skip button that will send you to the app store. Very dangerous if you are driving or riding a bike or scooter. An unnecessary game. Play the ad put the close in the same place. If not I suggest users switch apps. Too bad because it is one of the better radio apps. I only use it when not doing anything else. I use other radio apps when I don’t want to play games to listen to radio stations.Show lessItalybobby7737

I have been using this radio player for several years now and have enjoyed using it even outside of the U.S. where I live. A few years ago, while on holiday in Europe, listened to local radio stations back home for news on the hurricane that was affecting our home town. Its super easy to use, and most importantly, extremely reliable. I’ve found this player to be far more reliable than ones you would pay for and it continues to get better if that’s possible. I was especially surprised to find that the maker of this app is also very responsive and if ever correspondence, a quick reply. Who could ask for more? I like it. I’m very thankful for this app.Show lessmorseman1
Don’t bother
March 19th, great job on customer support & it’s good to know that they are still active & listening to customers. I had deleted the app, but after their reply, redownloaded it & it’s now working again. Ads are not an issue, as I listen to the radio & only check the app, when I change station.
March 12th, 2024. This was a good app & worked well with CarPlay, but after an update, unless you subscribe, or agree to allow advertisers to snoop on everything you do & have access to your phone, it won’t work. It just goes back to the ‘Ad Preferences’ screen & wont proceed to stations. After having this app for many years, I’ll be hoping over to another one from now on.Show lessDix99

I Have Really Enjoyed Curtin FM in Perth, Australia, Since I Discovered it about a Year Ago, on The Internet! I’m an American who lives in Oregon. I Listen as Often as I Can. Despite a Huge Time Difference! They Play The Music That I Grew Up with in the 1960’s and 1970’s. And Still Love to Hear, Today! What is Special is that unlike most Oldies Stations, they Don’t Just play The Familiar Hits by The Artists. But they Play Many Lesser Known Songs that I have Never Even Heard Before! Everyone There is to Nice to Talk to and does a Great Job. Especially My Friend Tom! I Hope to Visit Perth and Tom, Someday and Say Hello in Person! Keep Up The Great Work!

I give 2 stars, here is why
I paid for premium years ago when it was a 1 time fee for life. Now it seems they are trying to get out of that agreement. I constantly have to hit “renew subscription” which appears to work but the app certainly does not act like a premium version.
I have an iPhone X. The app does not reconnect on its own if the connection is dropped. This is especially dangerous when driving. I cannot recommend this app to anyone who wants to use it in their car while driving. You may wind up trying to reconnect to what you are listening several times while driving which I have experience. The app does not reconnect automatically to what I am listening to if connection is lost at home.
Are they still honoring premium prescriptions for people like me who were sold the 1 time deal or has a bait and switch been pulled and now that’s why it doesn’t keep connection when driving and requires manual reconnection?Show lessCloudRebel

The situation you are describing is not related to your 1 time payment Premium version. This is unfortunately a bug our team needs to investigate. To assist you, could you please send screenshots related to your report and device details to ios-cs@streema.com? We look forward to your email. Thank you very much!Audio not playing like it used to
It seems like either a Simple Radio update, or an iOS update (16.3) has changed a couple of things which impair its usefulness.
- radio stops playing when you switch to Home Screen or a different app or put the screen to sleep. My primary purpose for radio is to listen to it while doing something else.
- audio does not play if phone is set on mute / vibrate (used to not matter)
- some advertisements have audio, conflicting with the radio station
- app now seems to cache audio (if I switch out briefly, then back, it continues played at that time delay, not catching up to the “live” broadcast), which is more bizarre than useful…Show lessCliffdiverz
Battery hog.
This app keeps on killing my battery -- per my battery usage in iOS settings. It's worse than Instagram or Facebook!!! If this keeps on happening I'll be uninstalling this app and never using it again at this had happened before over a year ago and the developer allegedly addressed the issue.
Response to developer regarding video ads interrupting live audio stream and asking for example: Play a WhatsApp voice note as the simple radio stream doesn't replay automatically after the video ad unless you switch back to the simple radio app and interfere which is very annoying abd not the typical behavior of other streaming apps. Please test and fix VIDEO ADS Please get rid of the annoying ads interrupting VIDEO ads. They interrupt live music streams FIXED 6.1.3 update is messed up. With this updates the app doesn't open, crashes immediately. iOS 15.5Show lessBig Daddy Cool10

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. The ads should not interrupt the user's experience with the app. Can you send any screenshots related to this issue along with your device details to ios-cs@streema.com? Thank you very much!Cannot listen to a reliable or consistent stream
Simple Radio is the only way to listen to a local AM station. However, I cannot listen to a reliable or consistent stream.
I try to listen on an apple iPhone 11 Pro and an apple iPhone iPhone 14 Pro with the latest software. My home Wi-Fi is extremely strong and my cellular connection typically has three or four bars, so that’s not an issue.
I understand the need for ads in the free version, but the only reason I need to use this app is to stream one local radio station. I would not mind paying a small fee to upgrade if the app worked, but I am not going to pay for an app that cannot give me a reliable stream to a radio station that’s 2 miles from my home.
Please tell me why the stream constantly stops. Please tell me why I need to constantly pause, start, restart, the app and listen to dead silence. I can already do that with a dead phone. Why should I use Simple Radio to do the same thing?
I look forward to your response, and potentially using your consistent streaming app in the future.Show lessJuanIrlandés

Very good, lots of access
I’m pretty cheap, so I don’t know if I’ll continue paying for the app. Otherwise the app is really good and you get exactly what you would want from a radio app; access to pretty much any and every radio station. I’m impressed it even had the little radio station from my hometown. If your looking to have access to listening to a local sports team while temporarily living far away, this is for you.Show lessout of nicknamed
