Once we ply music our mobile should keep it on without lock. ### 1/5 — Poor app, even worse web player *2023-05-30, version 4.2* The app is poor - I listen to Dubai Eye and the app just takes me to the web player. The web player is even worse for several reasons: 1. The sound frequently drops - I lose sound for 10 seconds or longer at which point I just refresh the web player and press play, which brings me to the next issue. 2. Every time I refresh and press play, I hear the same ad play almost every time (yes American Hospital!!), which is even more frustrating if I have to refresh several times when the sound drops 3. I listen with my AirPods, and every time I take out them out, the web player registers it as stop/pause - this feature might be useful if I’m listening on demand, eg spotify, but not for a live broadcast. 4. When I then try to press play on the web player without first refreshing the page, you can hear it buffer and a ‘sped up’ sound as if the player is trying to catch up with the live broadcast. Which takes me back to #2!! 5. If I’m listening to the broadcast while browsing other apps/ websites with videos with sound, the web player stops/pauses. Again, perhaps useful if I’m listening on demand, but not for a live broadcast. Which takes me back to #2. Please fix - if it wasn’t because of the content I wouldn’t bother with it at all. ### 1/5 — It’s just a browser launcher. *2023-01-16, version 4.2* Forces selection of interests at start. Doesn’t play stations within the app itself, loads a page in your browser to do it. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-12-13, version 4.2* It won’t play Dubaieye in the app. It only forwards me to the website. Why bother with a 50mb app that only replaces a bookmark in safari? ### 1/5 — No updates *2022-11-07, version 4.2* The app is just working as a shortcut to a link, which actually works in browser… ### 1/5 — Login issue *2022-01-31, version 3.5* Not able to register. Tried several times.. Receiving activation code as sms, but not completing its registration.. ### 1/5 — Not working with apple car play *2022-01-26, version 3.5* Hi I tried using your app along with apple car play But it’s not syncing with apple car play- when I launch the application to hear it is crashing. Application is not working also in car play option- just crashing all the time when am launching the app using apple car play ### 1/5 — Message Not Delivered. *2022-01-19, version 3.5* Individual Radio messages are not delivered in Version 3.5. ### 1/5 — Message section is not working *2021-12-16, version 3.3* We are not able to send free SMS from ARN Play application. ### 1/5 — Unable to send message *2021-12-05, version 3.3* I am not able to send messages to Radio station or program after I shifted to ARN Play from individual app ### 1/5 — No Virgin Radio Dubai *2021-09-02, version 3.0* Can’t seem to find virgin radio Dubai in the app, anyone else? ### 1/5 — Don’t bother with this *2021-08-25, version 3.0* So bad I now use an analog radio to listen to the in to the radio.

On top I never receive OTP ### 1/5 — No Background Play *2025-12-03, version 4.6* Why does this app exist if it redirects you to website when playing a radio station. And ensuring that background play does not work in Apple CarPlay. Last update 1 year ago. Shame. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-09-30, version 4.6* Screen is always black, not a working app ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on app or webpage! *2025-09-07, version 4.6* The app only directs you to the webpage but even the radio on the browser doesn’t work. I’ve tried troubleshooting and different ARN channels but they only play on and off few seconds at a time. Very frustrating. ### 1/5 — Hit 96.7 not available *2025-08-08, version 4.6* Disappointed to know hit 96.7 cannot be accessed from Canada. ### 1/5 — Sign in issue *2025-06-27, version 4.6* Not able to Sign in with Apple from a year now, and no fix done by team ### 1/5 — Not available in Canada *2025-03-18, version 4.6* Huge fan to City 101.6 from Dubai. Unfortunately the broadcast is restricted in Canada. ### 1/5 — App not working *2023-11-07, version 4.5* App is currently not working ### 1/5 — Can’t even call it sub par *2023-08-14* This app is a joke. It actually does not stream anything. It takes you to your browser which then streams (barely) the desired station. The “streaming” was choppy, would stop playing randomly and would become unclear/garble randomly. Felt like it was created by an barely functioning tech literate middle age guy 10 years ago and never updated. Management should be embarrassed! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Perfect app *2022-08-16, version 4.2* Thank you, I always listen to 93.4 through the app and enjoy it🙏🏻🙏🏻 ### 5/5 — Good *2020-08-09, version 2.5* Love Dubai radio ### 5/5 — All in one *2019-12-26, version 2.3* Music, news and podcasts ### 3/5 — App doesn’t save login *2024-07-10* The app require register every time with OTP Code while launching the app ### 3/5 — Problem not open *2023-11-23, version 4.5* The app is not working Please fix it I tried to call the radio but no one answe me Please fix it Spicily for huawei phone. ### 3/5 — ARN play *2023-03-01* Not available outside Uae. ### 3/5 — Not playing background in Apple *2022-01-20, version 3.5* After latest iOS update ARN play not playing in background. ### 2/5 — Why does the app crash *2026-05-26, version 5.2* App crashed when clicking the home tab, please fix this issue.
