Glitchy, can’t sign in no matter what avenues I take: website, donor account, listener account, forgot my password, etc. ### 1/5 — No longer plays in the background *2024-03-21* This app now quits when the lock screen, home screen or other app such as Waze starts. Please advise or fix! Thank you! ### 1/5 — No longer plays in the background *2024-03-19* This app now quits when the lock screen, home screen or other app such as Waze starts. Please advise or fix! Thank you! ### 1/5 — Crash Monster *2015-08-29, version 1.8* Old version worked great but this one cuts out after about 5 min after starting - good for a song or two then I have to restart. I'm bummed that my favorite radio station is unlistenable from my iPhone. ;( ### 2/5 — Love the station *2020-09-11* It’s a great experience of commercial free independent music. The station air signal sometimes is weak and you can hook up app to WiFi. ### 2/5 — Bummer *2015-08-09* Such a rad radio station but the new app isn't cutting it! Constantly crashes when my phone goes to sleep. I have to go back and reopen the app every 10 minutes. Very frustrating. Hope this issue gets rectified. ### 3/5 — Rogue favorites *2017-06-07* The favorites functionality is really important for me on this app. However, lately, the app seems to randomly add a lot of songs to that list. As in, hundreds of songs. It's...a bummer. ### 3/5 — Mucho Crashos *2015-08-01, version 1.8* Huge fan of Chirp but the updated interface crashes a lot. You seem constantly distracted -- is it ADD? There's a pill for that. ### 4/5 — CHIRP App Rules! *2020-08-20* Best Radio App I am currently using. I can donate to the station, see what is playing (on phone & smart watch) and make requests and keep track of songs I like. Only bug in the app is when I check on events, the app crashes, other than that it works great. ### 4/5 — Awesome *2013-04-10* LOVE chirp radio and love this app. Simple, clean, and it works well. The one part missing is ability to sign in and add songs to your collection. Otherwise it's awesome. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best Radio Station Ever! *2026-06-20* Listen all the time and never disappointed. ### 5/5 — The Best Radio *2026-02-22* So much fun to put on and let it ride. No idea what is coming next. Other than commercials. No commercials. I love CHIRP! ### 5/5 — CHIRP Radio rules! *2026-01-24* The best way to learn about new music and events in Chicago! Community radio brings us all together. ### 5/5 — Unique *2025-10-31* New music, old music, no “talk”, sports or politics and NO commercials ever! If you listen to music and want to keep up with is new and local Chicago events and shows THIS is where your ears should be 24/7. Even if you do not care about Chicago-focused happenings, you should still listen because the DJs are very relatable and all seem to work in crafting well-curated 2 or 3 hour sets. This is what radio used to be and should be: new and varied programming provided by real DJs who are passionate about music. They are good about playing requests too. Thank you CHIRP for doing what you do! ### 5/5 — My favorite new app *2025-07-11* I love this app/station, I can’t stop tagging the music, so good. ### 5/5 — HEAR WHAT’S NEXT! *2024-12-19* I’m biased - I’m involved with CHIRP Radio. But take it from me because I know: CHIRP is the best radio station there is for discovering new music and rediscovering deep cuts you never knew you needed! Get the app and start listening!! ### 5/5 — Best Variety of Music *2024-04-27* Commercial free Non for profit I usually listen from my stereo but this app works just as well when not tat home Don’t change it! ### 5/5 — Changed My Life *2023-05-19* I don’t know how I survived without this app. Download it. Listen. Be changed. ### 5/5 — CHIRP Radio *2019-06-26* This app is very stable and is one of the best ways to listen to the Chicago Independent Radio Project - CHIRP - if you can’t hear the station in Chicago on 107.1 FM. ### 5/5 — Great station and Great app *2016-01-24, version 2.2.1* Yay! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
