### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-08-23, version 3.0.0*

Great music

### 5/5 — My right arm

*2026-08-20, version 3.0.0*

This app is like my right a and I can’t do without it.  It keeps me going through the day and I switch genres all day long depending on my mood. The ad free version for a very small fee is well worth it.  All my friends and family are using it now too.  Give it a try.  You won’t regret it.

### 1/5 — Adverts

*2026-08-20, version 3.0.0*

Make the free version useless.

### 1/5 — Misleading and false pop-up adverts

*2026-08-16, version 3.0.0*

After I selected Times Radio today a pop up advertisement appeared stating my phone had 8 viruses and I should download software to remedy this. The ad was incorrect and presumably malware

### 2/5 — Impossible to open at times because of adverts to download apps

*2026-08-15, version 3.0.0*

which cannot be bypassed

### 1/5 — A vehicle for ads

*2026-08-14, version 3.0.0*

I can’t figure out how to get to the station because it’s just a vehicle for adverts

### 2/5 — Outrageous adverts

*2026-08-14, version 3.0.0*

Great range of stations, sadly only some work, however the biggest problem with an otherwise good app are the adverse that you cannot bypass even when they are finished and every time you try to legitimately close them down using the X it falsely takes you to the AppStore, what an absolute hijack tactic🤷‍♂️

### 1/5 — SCAMS

*2026-08-11, version 3.0.0*

I like the radio app, but not the constant 
Apple Scam messages trying to trick you
to immediately tapping onto scammer sites. Needs sorting out.

### 5/5 — Merci d’exister

*2026-08-10, version 3.0.0*

Je suis français et j’apprécie d’écouter des radio anglaises de qualité et quel choix !! Merci pour l’accès à la culture et aux cultures étrangères

### 5/5 — Ok!

*2026-08-06, version 3.0.0*

Brilliant,just brilliant
