### 5/5 — Absolute 70s

*2026-08-27, version 9.28.1*

Love this radio station but there were so many great hits in the 70s, why do you keep playing the same songs

### 4/5 — mr

*2026-08-24, version 9.28.1*

hi, I a blind person. I very much enjoy this at radio player, as it's totally accessible for blind people it could be better but you know a lot a lot better but not above the apps, and I do like it that you can have different genres of music which is great, but sometimes and I pay for each month sometimes some of the stations don't work so I think you need to look at the app and find out why it doesn't work, but otherwise I like it very very much and I will not stop paying for it because as I say it's one of the best radio players I really do like it but if you could sort out the app and sort out, but the stations do work, you would make it a lot better thank you very much indeed
