*2020-01-14*

A brilliant app, a fantastic radio station for Colchester

### 5/5 — Great App with great design

*2018-01-20*

A fantastic, simply laid out app. I love the fact that all of the options are very clear and easy to operate. A great radio station to listen to made even easier to get at with this app. I especially love the fact that there are direct links to Actual Radio via Twitter, Facebook and the station’s own website, all from the one screen in this app. Great design.
