Thank you 🌹 ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-06-20, version 1.8.1* Love it ### 5/5 — Singer/Songwriter and Sensational Guitarists *2026-06-18, version 1.8.1* Fantastic choice of music from the best artists! ### 5/5 — My favourite radio station *2026-06-15* I was inspired to find a new way of listening to my favourite music after being forced away from commercial stations in Sydney. The changes in personnel and almost abandoning the music the older members of the audience had been listening to for decades. The loss of 2CH was hard but now I cannot find a commercial station that fits my groove. I have just retired after a 60 year career and am very happy to recommend and support the community group of stations. I feel that the music I want to listening to is importantly assisting me through a massive change of life. The staff at MCR FM are a great group and love what they do. I am now searching Community broadcasting for more of MY MUSIC. **Developer response:** Hi Brakevan thanks for rating and reviewing Community Radio Plus. We happy to hear you've found a station like MCR FM that meets your needs. If you like that 2CH sound, you may want to search for 2NUR in Newcastle, Sunshine FM in QLD, Curtin FM in Perth, 4CRB on the Gold Coast, ### 5/5 — Community Radio Plus *2026-06-08, version 1.8.1* This Radio Station is Still the Best Still my favourite ❤️ ### 2/5 — When using it in apple CarPlay *2026-05-29, version 1.8.1* I’m not able at most times to find a favourite radio station that I had just been listening too via the phone app .. ### 5/5 — Timmo *2026-05-22, version 1.8.1* Best station ever!
