### 3/5 — Music playback issues/pause button fail

*2021-04-14*

Music playback does not resume after an interrupted sound like a phone call or an alarm. You have to re-enter the app which is annoying. Also, the pause button does not work on the lock screen, another frustration.

### 1/5 — It’s worst app .need to be lots of improvisation.

*2019-08-25*

It’s worst radio app I showed in my life.

### 5/5 — Changing Radio paradigm with RadioVision

*2019-08-20*

The app is an awesome way to interact with the RJs at Funasia and also check out the program recordings on demand !

Must have app if you love music and radio !

### 1/5 — What do you think of this App?

*2019-02-05*

I have to say this is one of the most complex, NOT user friendly user interface and the worst design of a app from a respectable organisation. There are better ways to monetise the service and better way to display ads from sponsors. Pls pls pls try and work with an app developer who uses the latest tech and app dev format as a starting point. If you need help - you have the largest and smartest community to ask for experience and advice. Stick with what your good at and let others do what they are good at ( design and promote fun Asia) overall a very disappointing experience that is to difficult to use. I hope to see some great progress in the future.

### 1/5 — App does not allow to log in

*2019-01-17*

This app now requires to register and login.
Initially I did register with my email and worked. Second time it is not allowing me to login. Home screen has options to register as new user in center and a Login button at bottom. As I am already registered I click on Login. The login screen will appear for 1 sec and will come back to home screen which is Register as new user.

Not allowing me to login. I am using iPhone 8 Plus.

### 2/5 — Update

*2018-10-16*

This app needs bug fixing

### 1/5 — App does not work

*2018-08-26*

All of a sudden, this app now requires a username and password. When I try to signup, the app shuts down.

### 1/5 — App stopped working

*2018-08-08*

Got the new update today and it promoted me to login or signup. I tried signup and it goes nowhere after entering username, email and password!!!

### 1/5 — Does this app radio work?

*2017-03-14*

When I launch the app, I see steps to login using shoutcast. But nothing happens. What do I need to do to listen to the radio 😢

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2015-04-27*

The crappiest app I have ever seen in my life. Doesn't play anything and is ugly as hell
