## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Slow, buggy, limited stations

*2022-12-30, version 4.6*

Compared with other apps, there seems to have a limit number of streaming stations available. Even if you do find one, good luck in getting the app to properly function. The app will connect with my device after three or four tries, then typically locks up once I am on the platform. I wish I could find another controller for my Sangean device.

### 1/5 — Scans for Sangean WRF-39 over & over

*2022-12-08, version 4.6*

iPhone 14, current OS. This app has promise, but it won’t stay connected to my internet radio. The cog wheel just keeps turning, then says it can’t find device.

### 1/5 — Bugs need fixing

*2021-05-21, version 4.4*

IPadOS 14.5.1 - 5th generation
App has crashed several times recently & freezes.
Delete & re-install sometimes sorts out problems but not guaranteed.
Running Auna media sound systems
Version OH9TACC3-ia01h-ia01**ad-ia01a-(DB:20210325)

### 1/5 — No conection

*2020-10-12, version 4.1*

They have fixed the battery draining issue mentioned in other reviews. Now it keeps telling me I have no Wi-Fi network despite my phone clearly showing 2 out of 3 Wi-Fi bars. The radio itself also clearly has Wi-Fi as its still playing Internet radio.

Review of Version 4.1 on iOS 14.0.1

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2020-08-17, version 3.9*

Has stopped connecting to my radio. Rebooted phone, radio and deleted and reinstalled app.
Tried to send email through link and told I was using wrong format.
I give up 🤷‍♂️

### 1/5 — Can’t access full library in Media Centre

*2020-07-08, version 3.9*

The app is okay, but has one game-breaking limitation. It only will display the first 250 album titles, artists, genres, etc. in the Media Centre; anything over that is ignored. So if you have even a moderately sized collection of music stored on a NAS, your computer, etc., you’ll not be able to access most of it via this app.

### 1/5 — Destroys Battery

*2020-06-28, version 3.9*

When my internet radio is connected to the network but idle and not having been connected by me to the app - this app chews through 40% battery in a day. 24hrs background usage 0 mins on screen according to the settings -> battery view.

I can’t seem to disable background refresh for this app so i’m uninstalling it.

### 2/5 — Difficult set up

*2024-11-01, version 4.8*

Trial and error but finally set up my Sangean WR29

### 2/5 — Nice app but eats the battery like crazy

*2022-10-24, version 4.6*

My iPhone had amazing battery capacity before installing this app. Checked to see what the culprit was. Air Music app never stops running. Deleted. Which is a shame because I need it to control my radio.

### 2/5 — Could be useful

*2020-06-02, version 3.9*

This could be a very useful app, IF it wasn’t for battery draining issue. A well-known social media app used to be the highest power drainer and I use that a lot, but now this app is higher, and I only used it for 5 mins today. Constantly draining battery in the background. If you sort this out it would be a great app.

### 5/5 — absolutely wonderful

*2025-10-17, version 4.8*

this app is fully accessible with voiceover on iPhone and iPad, easy to search for stations and add them. when my radio gives up the ghost will definitely get another radio that works with this app.

### 5/5 — Facile à utiliser et est plus facile que d’utiliser les contrôles de la radio

Je viens d’acheter une radio internet Sangean c’est vraiment la meilleure technologie en matière de radio

I found the App easy to operate on my I pad.Thanks for that.Mike.

### 5/5 — Bluetooth connection

*2020-11-20, version 4.2*

Really impressed.

Can now select from a handheld screen, as apposed to peering into a minute screen on the the player.

The downside of course, is not getting out of the chair!

### 5/5 — Control app for my internet radio

*2020-10-11, version 4.1*
