### 5/5 — East coast listener

*2025-02-06, version 4.6.28*

Such a difference to listen to an independent classical station- carefully curated and Interesting and lively. Clearly the result of the hard work of some very passionate and knowledgeable people! Thank you for providing this service to the world.

### 5/5 — Commute

*2025-01-25, version 4.6.28*

Makes the commute to and from work palatable

### 5/5 — Great simple classical music station/app

*2024-12-16, version 4.6.28*

Simple app and always a great selection of music.  Music is playing within seconds of opening app and “pressing” play.   Glad to have found this one

### 5/5 — Perfect app for listening to All Classical and ICAN

*2024-09-08, version 4.6.28*

Really simple, easily puts on live music, directs to specific programs. Love it. I figured out how to make it work with my Apple home, but would love to make it work with my Google Home.

### 5/5 — My favorite music station!

*2024-07-29, version 4.6.28*

The app works seamlessly and I’m so delighted to have found it. This was my favorite station in Oregon and I had been missing the music and the folks who play the music. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Great Station!

*2024-07-12, version 4.6.28*

All Classical is such a great station, and the app does everything you need it to do with no bugs or glitches.

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2024-07-08, version 4.6.28*

Very usable app, what else can I say. Bravissimo!

### 5/5 — Very good App

*2024-05-12, version 4.6.28*

I listen very often via this app - at home and in the car.
Excellent music selection and very good quality.
The app is very stable and runs without restrictions.

### 5/5 — Does what I need

*2024-01-29, version 4.6.28*

I use the app to play classical music through my phone to a Bluetooth speaker. I open the app and press play and classical music plays. Thank you!

### 5/5 — The best classical radio station in the US

*2024-01-23*

I am so thrilled All Classical has an app. After I moved to the east coast I couldn’t find any classical stations half as much as I like all classical, so I was thrilled when I discovered I could still tune in from my phone!

### 5/5 — Diversificada!!

*2023-11-16, version 4.6.28*

Música clássica que sai dos cânones (Beethoven, Mozart, Vivaldi, ..) e vai buscar outros fantásticos compositores e executantes!! Ouço o dia inteiro!! Excelente trabalho! Parabéns!

### 5/5 — Tied for First Place!

*2023-09-12*

From all the searching  I’ve done over the past months  this station and Radip Wyoming (?) stand above all others. I live in a  huge city that doesn’t have even one classical FM station any more. This turns out to be better for me than any classical station that city ever had in the first place, many decades ago. 

Quality performances by quality performers (by and large) with presenters who don’t intrude (by and large). 

A deserving winner.

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2023-06-12, version 4.6.8*

I use the app to listen to all classical while I walk the dog, dig in the garden, and find my zen at the dentist office. Works great!

### 5/5 — Love

*2023-05-10, version 4.6.8*

Love this app! On my car radio it is kinda hard to hear over the static and once I downloaded the app I could hear it perfectly! 
Thanks All classical ❤️

### 5/5 — Good music

*2023-05-05, version 4.5.32*

With no classical station here, it is nice to have this option.

### 5/5 — Couldn’t live without it!

*2023-02-25, version 4.5.32*

For those of us who live for great music, this is a Godsend.  I’ve listened to the few stations on SiriusXM for years that are symphonic, but became disillusioned with their meager offerings.  I happened to stumble across this app and am thankful.

### 5/5 — Love the All Classical Ap!

*2023-01-10, version 4.5.32*

My favorite radio station now goes with me everywhere - especially in my garden while I work.  It’s neatly tucked into pocket, so with earbuds, I can even enjoy the gorgeous music during a light rain. Thanks!

### 5/5 — All Amazing

*2022-12-27, version 4.5.32*

I love listening to All Classical. I can listen anywhere now. The app is so easy to navigate too. Thank you for making it available.

### 2/5 — Glitchy

*2021-12-18, version 4.5.32*

I often have to delete the app and reinstall it as it stops working on my iPhone 7+, it’s a bit annoying because I love listening to the station.

### 3/5 — Very good

*2022-08-25, version 4.5.32*

Love the programming. Thats excellent. The App generally works well. Can be a bit stumbly during periods of high load.

### 3/5 — Doesn’t buffer enough

*2022-05-09, version 4.5.32*

I can stream 4K video on my internet service. 

But the AllClassical stream drops out perhaps once per hour. 

After doing some research, it is apparent that all streaming tends to buffer a bit of content so that fluctuations in the stream are transparent. Typically services seem to pre load about 30 to 60 seconds of content so that if there is a hiccup in the internet connection it is not impacting the listener/watcher. 

Unfortunately the AllClassical app doesn’t do this or have a setting to enable such a feature, so it is problematic for those of us on the wrong side of the internet divide where service is not perfect.

### 3/5 — Glitchy

*2022-01-08, version 4.5.32*

Love the station and that it can be streamed, the app itself can be glitchy

### 4/5 — Member

*2025-12-17, version 6.2.29*

I’d like an option for member / donors to skip the opening request for support.

### 4/5 — Great for nighttime

*2025-06-15, version 6.2.29*

I listen to All Classical in CT during the night to help me sleep. The music is normally geared to the quiet hours of the
night and the announcers are soft spoken. I also appreciate seeing the playlist. Keep up the good work!

### 4/5 — Good app/Great station

*2021-05-10, version 4.4.69*

The app is functional and the station is excellent. Been listening to All Classical for years. The program is very good and plays a wide selection of classical works.

### 4/5 — Wonderful Music

*2020-11-18, version 4.4.48*

Sure is nice having a local classical station that broadcasts online. Love the music and the app works well

### 4/5 — Lovely music, app could be better

*2019-06-21*

Love this music and this station. Is my go-to for almost any time or situation for listening. On-site hosts are excellent and the home-grown programs are wonderful. 

I often use the app to find artisit or composer info. Love this feature. App is sometimes glitchy and will fail to load the stream, even when I have solid internet connection. I would love it too if their other HD2 channels were available to stream. 

Wonderful service and one I'm proud to support.

### 4/5 — Sanctuary Station

*2017-11-12, version 3.8.31*

The music is above and beyond 
New composers from every where
Music you want to listen to and learn more about, composers, and musicians preforming.
And then we have the presenters
What a personable professional 
Group we feel connected to them and the station
Programming that introduces young new musicians inspiring
And hope full for the future 
Can you guess we are fans

It's nice to listen anywhere.

### 5/5 — Wonderful classic music

*2026-05-11, version 7.4.6*

We’ve been listening to All Classical Radio since moving to Oregon in 2015. The app has travelled with us around the world. Wish we’d learned about it earlier.

### 5/5 — To other listeners

*2026-03-22*

A comment for listeners: Hey folks! Have you noticed that the fundraiser is taking a long time? Have you noticed that the (wonderful) hosts are sounding tired? Time to pay your share; the age of it’s someone else’s responsibility are over. Someone else is you! C’mon! Time to make sure we all get to enjoy this service for evermore.

### 5/5 — My Favorite Radio

*2026-02-04*

I love listening to All Classical Radio! It is my first choice for listening to great music! I have only one suggestion, I wish All Classical Radio would provide a dark mode application for our mobile devices! Otherwise and always All Classical Radio is five stars all day everyday!

### 5/5 — New Fan

*2025-11-08, version 6.2.29*

We dont have a classical station in my area that comes in clear. Yours is tops!

### 5/5 — Great station for classical music you don’t often hear on other classical music stations

*2025-09-09*

Just what I said above. I really enjoy the music chosen; I have been introduced to new composers and new pieces as well as music I like but don’t often hear. I particularly like the option of chamber music.

### 5/5 — Took great music home

*2025-07-24, version 6.2.29*

First heard this station on a radio in a hotel when visiting Portland. Loved the curation! Happy to find this app!

### 5/5 — excellent

*2025-05-28, version 6.2.29*

an excellent app for an excellent station. everything about the whole situation is absolutely splendid

### 5/5 — Zzz…

*2025-03-03, version 6.2.29*

I use it for sleeping

### 5/5 — Reverend

*2025-02-24*

I so enjoy listening to All Clasical Radio from Michigan (Our son and his family live at Portland, OR).m, and perhaps we will move to Oregon in the future.  App always works for me.  The spoken introductions to the music are just the right length for me, and those who announce are cheerful, giving me a lift to my day.  Thanks, All Classical Radio!
