Wonderful music. ### 5/5 — Please fix latest App version *2016-09-16, version 17* After using the App for the past 5 years, latest version stops playing when my iPhone locks out of an active screen. Thus, I can not stream without leaving the phone on unlocked mode. Please fix. Update: App working now, issue was Mobile Provider connection and app buffering. Classic FM, a Brilliant 5 Star organization, world's best music. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2016-06-27, version 12* I live in Houston, Texas and just recently discovered this app. I love it. The hosts are great. I even enjoy the commercials. The on demand feature allows me to listen to my favorite show smooth classics at bed time. The sleep feature is great too. Can't say enough good things about this app. ### 5/5 — Great application *2016-05-17, version 9* Useful infos, simple but clear design, great features. Everything's ok! ### 3/5 — Crashes too often *2015-12-17, version 3.14.0* I love classic fm but this app crashes so often. ### 5/5 — I LOVE it..!! *2015-08-01, version 3.14.0* Thank you very much for making this fantastic app! It works perfectly fine and the quality is amazing! Also, there are no ads or in app purchases which makes it really great. Oh, and I can take snaps with it playing music in the background which is awesome ~ ### 3/5 — Buffering *2015-05-26, version 3.13.0* Too much buffering recently. Why? Very annoying. Otherwise a great listening experience. ### 5/5 — Excellent app with wonderful musics *2015-02-17, version 3.13.0* This app is really classically stylish. The program is well chosen and organized. Even Ads style is classic, too. I feel really relaxed whenever listen to it, and I hear it every time I study. Highly recommend ### 5/5 — Great App!!! *2014-10-07, version 3.10.0* Love Classic FM, and was thrilled when I found I could download their App. Great App. No probs at all so far. Huge thumbs up!!! ### 5/5 — Sueje *2014-08-13, version 3.10.0* This is my all time favorite App. I listen to this station every day while at work. As an expat I would be very unhappy if this station was no longer available! Thank you Classic fm, you are fantastic!!! ### 4/5 — Almost perfect *2014-06-27, version 3.10.0* Very good app. Classic FM is still the greatest station in the world for listening to classical music; however, there is one problem with this app. When you are using the app and listening to the music and the screen fades to black and the music is still playing and you want to get back to the station to the name of the song or something like that on the app and you move the bariPad to unlock the app and get back to the app, the app closes and you have to restart it again which is kind of awkward. Other than that this is great. closes. ### 4/5 — Amazing music glitchy app *2014-03-28, version 3.7.3* I wish the app worked flawlessly but oftentimes streams the station intermittently. If this problem ceases to exist, it is certainly a five star app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Catch Up *2021-07-17, version 85* Catch up has always worked, but now just continually buffering!!!!! ### 1/5 — App causes my iPad to freeze and restart *2020-01-14, version 59* Great station and music - but - this app causes my iPad to freeze and restart on its own - definitely the app causing this issue ### 1/5 — Older devices left out *2019-01-21, version 44* I've listened to ClassicFM for years via the app on my iPad. It was great! Could listen from anywhere in the world. Just had a "crash" though, and had to reload everything from the "cloud." The app didn't come through, so I went to the site to download again. Imagine my horror at learning that the new app requires iOS 10 or higher! My older device (still works fine!) won't upgrade past 9.3.5. Surely I'm not the only fan who doesn't have a newer gadget? Why leave us out in the cold? There should be a way to load an older or simpler version with fewer bells and whistles that will run on lesser iOS. I give a one-star rating merely in honor of the wonderful old app. Hope their tech wizards can fix this glitch. ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2011-06-15, version 2.4.2* No sound at all but, of course, the ads come through perfectly. ### 1/5 — ios 4.0 *2010-06-22, version 0* Software no longer works with operating system software updat. Seems like this is gonna last about six months on some software wished I never updated. ### 1/5 — Choppy! *2009-05-12, version 0* It's a great radio station but the app is so choppy I find it annoying to listen to on my iPod touch. Maybe they could improve it by reducing the bandwidth? I've a reasonably good wifi Internet connection that downloads video much more quickly than I can watch it in real time, so I suspect it's an issue with the app. ### 2/5 — Cannot listen to it while on background *2018-09-30, version 39* App no longer allows listening to it while it is on the background, nor with the screen turned off. After iOS 12 upgrade, doing any of those actions just turns the station off. ### 2/5 — Ok app. Seems to crash often *2009-05-10, version 0* App starts out fine but seems to crash if you try to change stations after start-up. Also, gets choppy after listening to classic fm station longer than 30 minutes. ### 3/5 — dark theme please！ *2022-07-19, version 98* Please add dark mode, thanks! ### 3/5 — Old programs?? *2020-12-28, version 79* Is there a way to hear old, already broadcast programs?? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — My Happy Place *2024-02-13* We don’t have a full-time Classical station here in Charleston South Carolina. I stumbled across Classical FM a few years back while looking for a good Christmas station. I’ve been a fan ever since. I have their app on my iPad and my iPhone. It’s near the top of my sites on my iMac and best of all - through the magic of technology- I can stream it while in my automobile. The presenters are all knowledgeable and have delightful senses of humor. And the only way it could be better is if they’d let me help the music. If you’re a classical music lover, I can’t recommend this station highly enough. ### 5/5 — Good sound in HD mode. Quality selections. *2022-08-30, version 99* I have been in need for a high quality classical music station for some time that delivers in quality and quality and this app delivers. Appreciate the hd mode after membership, which is free. ### 5/5 — Best station ever *2021-09-16, version 87.1* American here. Discovered Classic FM years ago, frequently listening at the office where I got into trouble streaming on the company’s computer. Apparently I was using too many bites or electrons or something. Real bummer. So discovering an app was like having the clouds part and getting a gift from on high. Now I listen everywhere and anywhere. Great programs and informative hosts. The app itself is wonderful. I can stream live, download and/or subscribe to my favorite programs, use the catch up screen to revisit favorites or “catch up” if I had to miss something. And now the sleep timer easily accessible as well. ### 5/5 — Chromecast device support - THANK YOU *2020-11-25, version 77* I love the music selection, even the ads are enjoyable. I REALLY love that from my iPad I can play the wonderful music across my Chromecast devices, that is FANTASTIC. ### 5/5 — Recovering from brain surgery *2020-11-20, version 77* I had brain surgery 2 years ago and blood clots in my lungs that took my life. God is so much alive that He gave me life again to share this with you. Classical music is so soothing and relaxing it has helped me so much. Unbeknownst to you perhaps God has used you and your station to heal me. Thank you for all you do. Gary Adolph Worden, IL USA ### 5/5 — Sleep timer *2019-11-06, version 57* Must agree! Love the timer! Thank you ! ### 5/5 — Classic FM *2019-08-30, version 54.1* I have listened almost exclusively to CLASSIC FM for 10 years. The current app is dropping me about every 5 minutes. Please correct this. ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2018-05-10, version 35* I love listened to Classic FM on my laptop and now i Can take it with me wherever i go! I particularly love the sleep timer feature! It is so hard to find a music app that still has this. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THAY AWAY! I set for 2 hours on my phone and then fall asleep. Seriously... Nailed it! Thank you! ### 5/5 — Amazing!! *2018-03-20, version 27.4* Everything about this station is wonderful! I absolutely love it. Not only does the station have such a wide variety of songs they play, but from what I’ve heard the people even on the station are so inviting! ### 5/5 — Christmas *2017-12-24, version 27.4* Love the station, especially Margerita Taylor! And one of the few radio station that's not afraid to play Christmas Carols! Wish KUSC would take the hint! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
