What a lovely App

Simple, fast, functional. Really love it.

Good app but CarPlay has too many bugs

Good app but CarPlay has too many bugs. Also developer did not reply to my emails reporting the bugs.
Moved over to Vradio now they support CarPlay

Broadcasts:

It is really hard to find stations on this app. How do you find the stations? Thanks!

Prompted for a review

Interrupted me using the app to ask for a review.

Top radio app for all Apple devices

Instant sync, allows custom stations, icons. All you need from a radio app really.

Love this app

No ads, clean interface, good range of stations and you can add your own. Plus it sync across devices.

10,000% better than TuneIn

Straightforward and functional, like a radio.

The best radio app ever

The best radio app I have ever used and it’s completely free and without ads.

Best radio app you will find

I don’t often write reviews, but this app deserves one. If you want a simple radio app, without adverts or any other bloat, this is the one you should go for. The free version is limited to only being able to favorite 5 stations, which I think is very generous. It is nice to see an app for once that does what it claims, without stuffing all sorts of other rubbish into it. Personally, I use it for LBC, Classic FM, BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 4 and Radio X. My only real criticism is that not every radio station is available on this app - for example, some local BBC radio stations cannot be found in the search menu, but this is only a minor gripe. If you just want mainstream stations, you can’t go wrong with this app. You can also rename stations and change the artwork if you want. The developer has done a fantastic job. I use this app on macOS (Tahoe) and iOS and IT JUST WORKS!

Does exactly what it says.

Simple app that does one thing and does it well. Adding new streams is easy, and it plays them super duper reliably. Greatly appreciate that it doesn’t try to upsell features that I don’t need, and I ESPECIALLY appreciate that it doesn’t try to push AI to my face. Great app; thank you!

Great for any radio station

I love it

Brilliant

What a wonderful app. I am so impressed with how it looks and how it works. Faultless streaming of many radio stations from here in the UK and across the world. Amazing. Thank you.

Excellent app - just one flaw

I have been using this app for quite a few months now, and it is the only app I know of that plays shoutcast streams with a decent Apple CarPlay interface.

The one major flaw with this app is that if you are using Apple CarPlay to play music with Broadcasts and you stop it so that you can either make a phone call or use Siri, there is really bad reverb when Broadcasts starts playing again. Please fix this.

Currently the world's best iOS radio app

I'm not joking when I say, at least at the time this review, that this app, at least for me, is the world's best streaming/radio app. One of the biggest reasons is because of the shortcut integration which makes many things possible.

Thank you.

Great app

I've tried most radio apps over the years; this one is excellent. It's simple but powerful. I can add streams that aren't in the database and select my own logos. I listen to classical music, much of which is unfamiliar: so it's great that the track information is shown where available from the broadcaster. The Shazam integration to get the album art is a nice touch.

The shortcuts support is icing on the cake!

Simple, Privacy Respecting + Bloat-Free Radio App 👏

One of the few privacy respecting radio app options around - for users wanting to limit commercial surveillance, which so many other radio apps incorporate💸

Broadcasts app is to be congratulated, as it doesn’t trade your personal information for radio access.

So simple to use; works well on my iPad.

Importantly, the app size is SUPER SMALL, saving your precious storage space for other things.

A super impressive app - I can easily find all my local stations around Australia - as well as any international station🤩

Some countries not avialible

Streaming radio

Apple Music (along with its many other new unwanted ‘features’) now doesn’t let you stop and start audio streams with the spacebar nor show you a good indication of the in-app volume level. Broadcasts does so it’s my new background radio listening app. So far, seems straightforward and looks and acts familiar. Unfortunately (just like the new Apple Music), it doesn’t show you the current track playing within the stream. Still looking for an app with that feature as well.

Very good app

Very easy to use , many stations to hear from different countries

Fantastic app

fantastic app, fantastic developer.
The app syncs very well across my different devices. I am deleting a few apps i had before now which are not as functional as this.
Did i say no subscription fees too & its also affordable?
Thanks Steve.
Update: 8/6/23 - Still enjoying this app like crazy and use it everyday, i cant fault anything about the app, well done dev.
Update: 9/12/25 - still one of my essential and most used apps, such a gem.
