I proceeded to delete the application and reinstall it. However, when I did that Voiceover didn’t work. Please fix emmediately. Thanks. ### 5/5 — Loving throughout *2024-03-26, version 3.0.4.10* I am not a TV person. Love to hear podcast using this app. My English is also getting better. ### 2/5 — Playing mix when station is playing music *2024-02-25* So if am guessing correctly part of the system works on metadata. And when you connect to a station faidr connects to mixer and plays a song, but am missing out on the music that the live station was playing. Don’t get me wrong the technology is cool, but needs some work. I also question copyright TuneIn got in trouble for something similar. ### 5/5 — Louie Linda Thank You *2024-02-20, version 3.0.4.10* Hi…accidentally found this app. And it’s Free for the AM/FM? This is great and I can even equalize the sound to get better audio from a cell phone. Fantastic. Now, more people should know about this. I appreciate this very much. ### 5/5 — The bests *2023-06-05, version 1.3.0.30* Sound very good ### 5/5 — Re enable ai *2022-10-04, version 1.1.11.5* I use faidr constantly and disabled the ai by accident is there a way to re-enable the ai ### 5/5 — Great App Phenomenal AI technology *2022-07-14, version 1.1.8.2* Stock Ticker: AUUD Show out show support! Great app, can take the radio industry and own it! By far the best out there! ### 4/5 — Pleat *2022-05-20, version 1.1.5.3* Sound good. Scrolled through many stations for local NY. Skips very limited. Pricey just not for me. ### 5/5 — Game Changer *2022-02-11, version 1.1.0.2* What a game changer! I’ve always wanted to listen to my local radio stations commercial-free but thought it was never a possibility…until now. Works great with Apple CarPlay also! Thank you, faidr!! ### 4/5 — So far so good *2022-01-20, version 1.0.9.3* Connecting to radio station is easy, but on many occasions I have lost the connection in the middle of a song which is very frustrating. As I’m typing this the music just cut off. I’m connected to WiFi and a Bluetooth speaker but no music. I hope they get more stations as well as being able to connect to stations away from your general location. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No podcast ad skipping *2026-06-06, version 3.2.13 (28)* They advertise this feature everywhere but it’s nowhere to be found. Podcasts def have ads and there’s only a button to “request Forward+”. Update your docs and site and regulatory filings if you got rid of this for podcasts. ### 1/5 — Charged me $80 for a $40 subscription *2025-04-10, version 3.2.1.8* I pulled the trigger on their !39.99 annual subscription offer and they withdrew $80 from my Apple Pay account with no explanations. They have not returned my emails requesting an explanation. Not worth the aggravation. ### 1/5 — Buggy and not free *2025-02-27, version 3.1.16.5* Just installed this app today if you open another app, it will stop playing music. If you close any app it automatically starts playing the music from this app. It’s very annoying. ### 1/5 — Disconnecting *2025-01-30, version 3.1.14.5* One of the worst apps for radio. Constantly disconnects and repeats lines, with cellular and WiFi. Would not recommend. ### 1/5 — No Michael Jackson songs *2024-07-29, version 3.1.3.3* I wanted to listen to Michael Jackson on the radio songs, but I scrolled through all of the songs on the Michael Jackson type radio, but there was no songs of actual Michael Jackson singing! Terrible app, please fix this immediately or I will uninstall. ### 1/5 — Does not remove sponsorship ads *2024-03-24, version 3.0.4.10* I gave this app a try solely to get rid of sponsorship ads in the podcasts I listen to. This app does not do that. I promptly canceled my subscription 15 minutes. Really disappointing. ### 1/5 — Easy with chock full of options. *2023-05-03, version 1.2.8.9* Easy interface…offers all I need. Local radio, music I like and podcasters I enjoy listening to. All around a great premium listening experience ### 1/5 — Last update was crap! *2022-08-06, version 1.1.8.2* They ruined the app by makeing you listed to a f sung instead of the station you want! Whoever was the “generous” who made the decision to make you listen to a song and not the radio, which is the whole principal of the APP should get fired. DO NOT UPDATE THE APP NOR DOWNLOAD IT, they ruin it!! ### 1/5 — Terrible *2022-05-31, version 1.1.5.3* The live stations I tried to play never came up. Listened to several content songs but the live stations I requested to hear never came on live. If they are going to eventually charge for this…good luck! It’s a joke. ### 1/5 — Feb 2022 update *2022-02-11, version 1.1.0.2* Just installed the new name and update and it’s erroring on my iphone 11 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — THIS IS INCREDIBLE *2026-02-17, version 3.2.9 (9)* I looooooove this app. It’s so easy to use and it has unlimited commercial free content. It seems too good to be true. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-01-03, version 3.2.7.1* Awesome ### 5/5 — Seems update Ai and ad -free *2025-11-21, version 3.2.7.1* Good try and friendly ### 5/5 — Impressive *2025-01-12, version 3.1.13.5* Works great with updates and lot better than other highly priced ones. Looking forward for gamification features in upcoming releases. ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2024-11-19, version 3.1.11.3* So cool to be able to listen to channels across the country. Moved across the country and can still listen to my favorite stations from back home. ### 5/5 — Game-changer! *2024-10-10, version 3.1.8.4* I love listening to music and/or podcasts in the background of my everyday life, it’s actually a stimulating fix that dampens the urge to scroll mindlessly on social media. But… finding the right content to listen to can be a chore and I’m not interested in spending lots of time and energy on it. Faidr is the perfect solution for me, I get the perfect recommendations and don’t have to bother with annoying ads! ### 5/5 — Great App *2024-10-08, version 3.1.7.0* I have enjoyed using faidr as a way to hear my local radio stations without ads. I enjoy traveling and still hearing my local music. I used to be an XM listener, but not now. ### 5/5 — i like this app *2024-09-03, version 3.1.5.4* you can just skip past the ads ### 5/5 — make an app for the laptop *2024-06-27, version 3.1.3.3* also name is not great lol AUDDIA the name - AUDIO4U lol anything is more memorable .. and they have NO ads to promote the company ? but it just as easy to use as Iheart LOL they just need a beter app name - maybe spinnoff another version LOL ### 5/5 — Great *2024-05-24, version 3.1.0.4* Great app, better then Spotify --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
