### 4/5 — Really like the app, but needs accessibility improvements

*2026-08-09, version version 4.7.5*

I really like AccuRadio, even though I don’t use it all the time. I mainly use Apple Music for my music, but I still enjoy using AccuRadio from time to time to discover and listen to songs. I also like being able to find songs on AccuRadio and then purchase or add them to my Apple Music library.

I’ve noticed that the app’s layout and overall experience have gotten better, which I appreciate. However, as a VoiceOver user, I still feel that AccuRadio needs more accessibility improvements. Some parts of the app can be difficult to navigate with VoiceOver, and certain buttons, controls, or elements could be labeled and organized better.

I’m glad to see the app improving, and I really do enjoy using it. I just hope the developers continue working on accessibility so that blind and visually impaired users can have the same smooth experience as everyone else. AccuRadio has a lot of great music, and with better VoiceOver support, it could be an even better app for everyone.

### 4/5 — Disappointing

*2026-07-15, version version 4.7.5*

I would listen to this exclusively if I could have a paid subscription. Unfortunately I hardly ever listen to it because there is no option to actually pay to hear what I like. It is the greatest music app on the market but with that one fatal flaw.

### 3/5 — Language

*2026-06-19, version version 4.7.5*

Really enjoy the music.   Butt I am American I speak English. I am sick and tired of all the Spanish commercials in my face.   I did not select another language. I have no ideal what is said or promoted.  Do not like this at all.

### 2/5 — Gotten worse

*2026-05-01, version version 4.7.5*

Meh_ incessant annoying commercials, latest "update" has made things a pita to find, no way to  bypass song or artist anymore

### 2/5 — My favorites???

*2026-04-11, version version 4.7.5*

I’ve used AccuRadio for years and had quite a large “My Favorites” channel built.  With the newest update that channel is gone and it’s as if I am a new user.  VERY disappointed!  I’m switching to Pandora.

### 2/5 — What’s happened ?

*2026-04-11, version version 4.7.5*

This use to be a good app on my iPad, the new app is troublesome. I can no longer close my screen when listening to music the screen has to be on. I can’t listen to music with another app open.
If this continues I will have to find another app.

### 3/5 — Human curated playlists

*2026-04-07, version version 4.7.5*

Brilliant human created playlists across many, many genres. Only three stars because the iOS version tends to freeze.

### 2/5 — Bad upgrade

*2026-03-25, version version 4.7.5*

Terrible since upgrade

### 4/5 — AirPlay

*2026-03-14, version version 4.7.5*

What happened to AirPlay in the latest version?

### 4/5 — Needs update

*2026-03-05, version 4.7.3*

I love the app yes I understand it’s free, but the problem is after the phone locks I can’t skip or shows I have to unlock the phone to skip a music. Now the other issue is after the phone locks it doesn’t continue to the next song he just stops at that one song. It’s be also great if it would work on CarPlay or android auto. Hope you’d do that in the future

### 5/5 — Old

*2026-02-19, version 4.7.3*

Great great

### 3/5 — Needs Update

*2026-01-31, version 4.7.3*

Music is great, but no app updates for 4 years. The player hasn’t shown on the lock screen for several iOS levels now.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — This application is very hard for people who are totally blind, using voiceover on iPhones to use.

*2026-08-16, version version 4.7.5*

I found it very hard to use your program on my iPhone 17 Pro with iOS 26 and voiceover. I am a totally blind person, and I need to use the VoiceOver application in order for me to swipe around on the screen and select the various buttons in your program. In the past, I could easily select favourites and history and so forth. But now with your new up-to-date version, I cannot select favourites or history, or blend channels or do anything. All your controls are very hard to find and don’t always work when I double tap them with voiceover. Even if I turn certain settings on to make the screen more readable with voiceover, I still have issues in this program is now suddenly clunky instead of useful. If you fix this issue, please get some totally blind people to beta test a tester program on an iPhone with voiceover in order to ensure that it is working properly thank you.

### 1/5 — Will not play the next song

*2026-08-15, version version 4.7.5*

This use to be a good app on all of my Apple products, the new app is troublesome. I can no longer close my screen when listening to music the screen has to be on for the next song to play, I can’t listen to music with another app open. I have contacted support but they will not answer, They are very quick & boastful on sending emails of new music & channels. Support is nonexistent. This use to be the main music app I used.
If this issue continues I will have to find another app.

### 1/5 — Last update really sucks

*2026-06-19, version version 4.7.5*

See above

### 1/5 — Latest iPhone version idiotic defaults

*2026-04-24, version version 4.7.5*

The latest iPhone iOS version of this app has an absolutely STUPID IDIOTIC sleep timer default of 15 minutes.  Only an idiot would use such a worthless app where each time you start it you have to change the sleep timer to 2 hours to get some decent playing time.  Time to dump this piece of garbsge and use another music app!

### 1/5 — Don’t download the new app

*2026-03-28, version version 4.7.5*

The old app was great it gave you last played in addition to suggestions for you based on your listening past, a most popular channel with a few, not 2 dozen like the new app and gave you two weekend highlights channels all within one view where you don’t have to get out and look as in the one. The new app is very very disappointing so KEEP Your Old App DO NOT download the new one

### 1/5 — Lost all saved songs

*2026-03-21, version version 4.7.5*

I opened the app today and found that I had been signed out for some reason ,tried logging back in and it said email does not exist ,so I had to go back to my old email which has hardly any of my saved music. I had over 2000 songs saved on my five star radio,now it’s all gone. What the heck happened ? Not happy at all,it took me years to get that many , the entire look of the app changed as well, I do not like the new look!

### 1/5 — Upgrade

*2026-03-15, version version 4.7.5*

Sucks - I had an entire inventory of music saved as 5 star songs and now they are gone.  Thanks alot!!

### 1/5 — Info Grabber?

*2026-03-07, version 4.7.3*

Won't let you use unless you give them your email, gender, date of birth... Nope!

### 1/5 — won’t work

*2026-01-19, version 4.7.3*

downloaded app, have tried a few channels and all of them just are just stuck in “loading “. app isn’t working. web version works fine.

### 1/5 — To many problems

*2025-11-18, version 4.7.3*

App has crashed and won’t let me listen to anything. It no longer shows on my lock screen or on my dash in my car.

### 5/5 — Goated App

*2026-07-23, version version 4.7.5*

Like Pandora in its prime, baby. Make me feel like its 2010 again.

### 5/5 — My favourite radio app

*2026-06-08, version version 4.7.5*

I love how you can fully customize your own channel with genres or a combo of stations that you like. Great variety of songs, never gets repetitive. The “ban song” and “ban artist” features are awesome. I only wish you could control the app with Siri (for hands free in the car).

### 5/5 — Another review..

*2026-05-09, version version 4.7.5*

My second review of AccuRadio..  an incredible source of music!  I listen to early blues, jazz, renaissance music, classic rock, Motown.. they have All of it in great quantity!  I've actually installed the app on the phones of several friends so they can stream in the car!  They never chop the songs and always play the full LP versions of songs like Magic Carpet Ride by Steppenwolf.  It's obvious it's programming done by people who actually listen to; and love music!  Start listening now, you'll love it!!  Hoping the iPhone app will soon be compatible with Car Play displays in autos!

### 5/5 — AccuRadio

*2026-05-08, version version 4.7.5*

Excellent

### 5/5 — Smooth JAZZ 👍

*2026-04-28, version version 4.7.5*

I really like AccuRadio they play just what I was looking for when I’m in my car . If you looking for a great radio station this is it .

### 5/5 — My current favorite

*2026-04-12, version version 4.7.5*

First day using, and I am very impressed.
One of the few channels that will run in the background while I visit another channel.
Thanks!

### 5/5 — 5starにならない⇒なった

*2026-04-08, version version 4.7.5*

アプデしたら、5starをつけても、5star radioにならなくなった！
😡なんでー！！！
あれが素敵なシステムだったのに！
※他は良くても評価満点にできないです⇒満点に変更

⇒解明しました。これ、気に入った曲に、4か5の星をタップ、20曲をこえると、5star radioが現れて、自分の好きな曲だけかかる凄いしくみです。分かりやすく書いてくれたらなぁ（何曲以上とか）。
ユーザー登録を求められて登録したら、これまでの5starがリセット。またちくちく選んでます。でも、素晴らしいです。

### 5/5 — Love AccuRadio

*2026-04-04, version version 4.7.5*

They have incredible variety including a lot of classical music & blues!  Listen in the car constantly!  Sounds a lot better than Pandora too!
I'd love if the iPhone app could be added to Car Play!!

### 5/5 — Great Music Listening App

*2026-03-24, version version 4.7.5*

Very creative with music listening

### 5/5 — Good Radio, good App

*2026-03-19, version version 4.7.5*

AccuRadio itself has always been a much better alternative to Spotify to discover new music. The app has been great but the latest update (4.7.5) with Bluetooth functionality is a real improvement. Just wish support for Apple CarPlay.
