Or when I want Siri to play the radio. ### 3/5 — Pls fix the app *2025-12-16, version 3.6.4* Something wrong with the signal, it keeps dropping every 5-10 secs ### 4/5 — Disconnecting *2025-12-15, version 3.6.4* It keeps on disconnecting intermittently and sometimes unable to listen to live streaming at all. I thought it was my network issue, but with 5G WiFi connection. It shouldn’t have happened so frequently. ### 3/5 — Week Signal *2025-12-09, version 3.6.4* It’s so annoying when it keep pausing and skipping of some of the important point. Hope they can fix it soon. ### 3/5 — Good content but app to be improved *2025-09-04, version 3.5.9* Started listening for a few months suddenly there is no sound eventhough the show is live and I have clicked start. No issue with other apps. I have restarted my phone and reinstalled app. Please fix? ### 2/5 — Occasional interruption *2025-08-15, version 3.5.8* Off late the live streaming via the apps has incessant drop for a few seconds. This occurs after the repeated drop in podcast and phone heating up. ### 3/5 — Cheap joke FM *2025-07-28, version 3.5.7* Being following this radio station for many years, they are good in finances but very poor understanding in geo political views except making shallows cheap joke. this radio stations imho BMF downgrade itself in public image. ### 3/5 — Style Over Substance *2025-07-10, version 3.5.7* Love the radio station. Quality content every day. App however is still a work in progress. Wished it was less focused on looking nice and instead focused on usability/performance first and foremost. 1. Can’t get a chronological list of shows for the day. Instead the app decides for me what it thinks I would like to listen to. 2. App caused overheating issues on my phone. This is so poor as it is very basic testing post development. Subsequently fixed with an update a month later. ### 3/5 — App Crashes on iOS17.7 *2025-07-03, version 3.5.6* Developer website link seems to be broken. App crashes after 5min of streaming. Phone becomes very hot. Still unresolved. ### 4/5 — Overheating Issue *2025-07-01, version 3.5.6* I got a new iphone 16 pro max and the phone heat up when using the apps. I have been using the apps since day 1 and this is the first time. Maybe its the new IOS ### 3/5 — Problem with latest version *2025-06-25, version 3.5.6* Latest version for iOS phones drains battery and the phone heats up drastically.

Please check bugs. ### 2/5 — Phone overheating *2025-06-23, version 3.5.6* Phone gets heated up every time when the app is opened, please help to resolve it otherwise it’ll be difficult to use cause it’s draining battery as well. ### 2/5 — Too Hot to Listen *2025-06-23, version 3.5.6* This app causes my phone battery to overheat. I can play Apple Music all day without any heating issues, but this app makes my phone excessively hot. ### 3/5 — Phone heat up *2025-06-20, version 3.5.6* New version is causing my phone to heat up. It’s drained 20% battery for 1 hour live radio ### 2/5 — Phone heating up and battery draining fast while using the current app *2025-06-19, version 3.5.5* Hi admin. Please check your app. I love your app and listen to it each morning. But something is not right recently. My wife is experiencing the same. Help! ### 3/5 — The app is draining phone battery *2025-06-18, version 3.5.5* I listen to the app for an hour, my battery drop from 90% to 40%. This doesn’t happen in the previous version before update. ### 4/5 — Latest Update *2025-06-16, version 3.5.5* The recent updates causes phone to heat up more than usual ### 3/5 — Why the podcast doesn’t continue playing at the background when another app is open *2025-04-03, version 3.5.2* I used to listen to this app’s podcast when I’m driving. And I usually use Waze to navigate to my destination. And usually the podcast continues at the background whenever I’m on Waze. For some reason now, it stopped the podcast when I switched to Waze or another app. Why? ### 2/5 — Room for improvement *2024-02-06, version 3.4.2* Wish there was 1.2x speed. And closed captions, would be useful while commuting in public train ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Battery draining and iPhone heats up *2025-06-20, version 3.5.6* Hi, can you please fix the latest update, because it’s draining battery very fast (55% to 12% in just 2 hours) and phone gets very hot after just few minutes turning on the apps. Thanks ### 1/5 — Background refresh that cannot be turned off *2025-06-19, version 3.5.5* Background app refresh that cannot be turned off is draining my battery like there is no tomorrow. I am considering in deleting this app. ### 1/5 — Latest update *2025-03-21, version 3.5.0* Keeps crashing. ### 1/5 — Great Business Radio Stations but apps turns off itself less than minutes *2024-03-05, version 3.4.3* Great Malaysian home grown Business Radio Stations but apps turns off itself within less than minutes. Got to do something to trash out the bugs ### 1/5 — Ad Presentation *2023-08-16, version 3.4.0* Concerned that ads are presented with the same look and feel of iOS, which creates an impression of issue with device, when in actual fact there was none. The fact that the ad is able to read the device type is intrusive and causes privacy and security concerns. ### 1/5 — a step BACKWARDS *2022-06-21, version 3.0.0* the latest version of the app is a huge step backwards. What happened to the option to download the podcast and listen later, malaysia does have 5G network to match seamless listening yet. And please bring back the sorting of the podcast in tabs. Scrolling through miles of editor's pick, shows you subscribed, trending this week to get to latest shows is just plain inconsiderate of your team. the old layout was so much better, bring it back. until then, bye bfm app. ### 1/5 — Can’t download anymore and can’t stream on the go *2022-06-20, version 3.0.0* This is most frustrating to have this problem after the update. The streaming doesn’t work, the podcasts doesn’t play, and now looks like we can’t download them. ### 1/5 — Sigh, why fix something that was not broken? *2022-06-19* All we want is to see what was playing for the day and save shows we missed on the radio for listening later Instead, the new app has made a complete mess of things. Why try to pretend to be Spotify or Apple Music when it does not suit you? Just bring back the chronicological list of radio shows so we can browse and save at our own leisure. Now the app is a complete nightmare to navigate. ### 1/5 — Unable to listen live on air *2022-06-16, version 3.0.0* I seriously don’t understand why the app being like this after the update. I’m seriously extremely disappointed with this and I’m utterly frustrated missing out all those important live news! ### 1/5 — Un désastre *2019-11-10* Je souhaite avoir BFMBUSINESS en direct. Et j’ai du jazz!!!😡 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Brilliant For Minds *2025-12-22, version 3.6.5* I listen to BFM everyday while driving to work and sometimes when I do my walking exercise.

X1.2 is just nice. ### 5/5 — Great business station *2023-08-12, version 3.3.0* Please develop an app for Apple Watch. It is so troublesome to bring my phone along when I go for my run just to listen to BFM! ### 5/5 — Dark Mode Please! *2021-10-13, version 2.9.9* Love the content and layout for this native app, much better than Spotify's layout. But please please please, give us Dark Mode! ### 5/5 — Nice treasure trove of information *2021-06-19, version 2.9.9* I can always count on this app to find something new to listen to. My only issue is I always have trouble finding the actual show from the snippets you play on live radio. ### 5/5 — Informative fm in town and the apps is comprehensive! High recommended *2020-04-19, version 2.9.7* User friendly apps! You can mark as favorites/follow those topics you interested or frequently browse; allows users to save the podcast in the playlist; detailed in its description regarding the programme and schedule! I can say it is just superb and convenient!! Like it --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
