It just needs tweaking. The app doesn’t load sometimes. It lags out and only loads the first 4 stations and then the rest of the page is white as you scroll. Also you can’t log in no matter how many times you try just so you can save your favorites. Now if they fix those bugs it will be the top downloaded app in the Christian app market. The sermons are amazing!! I love that they upload new ones each day. The music channels are great but I use this app a lot for the Ministries tab and The Teach & Talk Radio tab is amazing. I love hearing the word of God on a daily basis. Please invest the money to update the app because it is worth it!! ### 4/5 — Doing the Best to Give God the Glory *2018-04-23* I am hoping the developer of this app does consider what I write here...us Christian should do "the best". We are not called do mediocre but strive towards perfection and beyond. I understand this technology is on the cutting edge and could be difficult but you are delivering a superior product. Like my writing here I go over it very carefully. Another example is I am battling to teach myself a fourth language. God willing I turn 64 years old this year. I write and I pray you understand. This app could continually receive five star ratings but there are difficulties. Your stations buffer, I can not find my favorites, the Genres of music and I can my state's Christian stations. A suggestion the developers need to go to those proven apps to improve their service. Think if the musicians you provide on your app shoddy music. I pray you understand. Also I am sadden you provide no response to your faithful uploaders. ### 2/5 — New version not a good version *2018-03-18* I was so happy to see that this app had finally been updated. I’ve used it for years and there were some issues with it starting over in the middle of a sermon etc. This new version is not a good version however. I tried to go back in and save my “favorites “ ministries, but tho the app said they were saved, the Favorites tab was empty all 4 times I tried. Definitely a bug needs to be fixed. In the old app, you could go to your favorites and pick the Ministry series you were listening to. Now you have to look thru everything cause there isn’t a search option either. We also needed to put personal info in to register to use favorites. Which I don’t like. ### 4/5 — Great Christian App *2017-06-26, version 4.3* The only issue is the occasional buffering. This is truly great especially if one does not have direct access to Christian radio and ministries in their area. Thank you. ### 4/5 — Thankful *2016-09-14, version 4.3* I'm thankful to have the ability to listen to this station and be encouraged in God's Word on the go, however, there are times when it crashes when I'm using my iPhone. Nevertheless, it's still a blessing😊 ### 5/5 — Great app to find Christian radio *2016-07-15, version 4.3* Living far out in the suburbs makes it hard to get any Christian radio reception. This app allows me to listen and learn. ### 4/5 — I'll try again but it didn't work the first time *2016-02-22, version 4.3* I'll try again but it didn't work the first time ### 3/5 — Great app but does not work in i OS 9. *2015-10-07, version 4.3* This is a great app, but currently has not yet been updated to i OS 9. I'll change my rating as soon as that happens. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Audio not working *2021-10-29* Can’t figure out what is going on ### 1/5 — Buggy *2021-03-09* Starts fine but quickly reverts to only using the top 15% of screen, soon I can’t see anything. ### 1/5 — How many times must I login? *2020-05-25* There’s much wrong with the iPad version of this app. I can favorite all the stations I want, but everytime I open the app and click on favorites, it tells me I must register/login, but the register/login button doesn’t work. The app is Salem radio only, so there are Christian radio stations out there that you won’t be able to access. Many of the talk stations I click on lead to nothing. I’m assuming the stations are now defunct. Additionally, the app is somewhat chaotic: stations sail across the top of the screen, but too quickly to click on them. Yes, this app needs much work. ### 1/5 — The worst - no QA software testing *2020-04-22* You must sign in after closing each time No search button to find content Ministry tab scrolling doesn’t work - after a couple, it goes blank and will show nothing else ### 1/5 — Signing On & No Support *2019-11-30* Can’t sign on and no one to contact for tech support .... ### 1/5 — Question. Am I being charged or not for public radio . *2019-06-27* I don’t know if I’m being charged or not for this music app. It seem to be very vague & irresponsible of Salem Corp. If It’s true that I’m being charged for an app that I don’t want. Please delete my uninformed app request for contemporary Christian music that is overloaded w chit chat from hosts. Thank you in advance, Thomas Poel ### 1/5 — Unable to access favorites *2018-07-03* I have to keep deleting and reloading, the sign in to access my favorites. Unable to access my sermons from my favorites ### 1/5 — Christian radio review *2018-05-06* I do not like this new format. All my favorite stations where erased and I’m having a hard time saving any favorites. I can’t get it to work. It’s so difficult to scroll through so many different programs. It gets me frustrated I don’t like it this new format at all. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2015-07-16, version 4.3* Every time I try to launch it, it crashes on my iPad Air 2! Won't stay open long enough to do anything. Running 8.4 ### 1/5 — Does not work on the new iPhone software *2012-11-30* Does not work on the new iPhone software ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — SAMMY CAMEJO *2024-06-22* I like it so much music ### 5/5 — God’s love *2024-05-07* Whenever I’m down and confused, I listen to to Christian talk radio and it’s like whatever is bothering me is exactly what’s being talked about on one of your stations, so I know God is working through you all to talk to me and I can’t do nothing but give God all the glory. This helps me overcome so many sinful thoughts and feelings I have, so again thank you guys so much for your contributions ### 5/5 — Wow 👎 *2021-05-12* It is obvious you don’t care about this or god tube because they haven’t been updated in forever pleas reply to tell me how to get something better ### 5/5 — Selah *2019-05-13* I pray tht da ChristianRadio stand Against satun nd hs rebellion n Jesus Mighty nme HolySpirit hve Your Way n dis World nd da one to Cme...Selah ### 5/5 — Christian Radio *2018-10-26* Great application for Christian Radio. ### 5/5 — Christian Music All Day Everyday *2017-08-21* I really like this app. It makes it easy to listen to Christian radio wherever I want right on my phone. The app is pretty easy to use. I also like how I can stream different ministry podcasts as well. Definitely recommend. ### 5/5 — Giving life *2017-06-27, version 4.3* Absolutely hopeful! ### 5/5 — CR Radio makes a difference *2017-06-12, version 4.3* I am greatly blessed to have found CR Radio. The programs are timely and worth listening too. A great alternative to talk radio. ### 5/5 — Awesome resource! *2017-04-26, version 4.3* Love it ### 5/5 — Jansman *2016-08-15, version 4.3* Every Christian radio station in the us.
