Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Lords blessing *2026-07-22, version 28.0* Family Radio is now better than ever before, May the Lord Jesus keep use you, until He comes! ### 5/5 — Great worship music to start the day *2026-07-16, version 28.0* Good worship music from previous generations that does not bow to modern trends. I like some new Christian releases but people can often forget, dismiss or simply label as outdated previous worship. Which family radio does a wonderful job at choosing songs and hymns that are not written to wind you up but calm the soul. Which in this day and age I think we need more of. ### 5/5 — Wonderful App!! *2026-07-14, version 28.0* I am so thankful the developers have created this app!! They have done a great job. It is so nice to have the Word, and beautiful music that they deliver in this format. It blesses me, and I wish you all the best of God’s blessings back. Numbers 6:24.

Keeps me focused on the Lord’s mercy and love. ### 5/5 — Love this station! *2026-07-01, version 28.0* Uplifting music and ministry ### 5/5 — Such a blessing!!! *2026-06-28, version 28.0* I feel God’s presence fill my home or my car whenever I turn on Family Radio! Such a blessing to have access through the app when I’m not near a physical radio. ### 5/5 — Playlist *2026-06-28, version 28.0* Altho I love your station & I go to bed & sleep with it every night, it seems that you play the same songs most of the time. I love the big choral numbers like National City Choir & Amen but it seems you play less of those. I look forward to music like that Sunday mornings in between the sermons but I’m usually disappointed. I love that you are a Bible based station & I was so excited to find it locally. When I travel I listen on the app from another station. We winter in Naples Fl & there is no local station there so listen thru the Orlando station. Thank you for all you do in the name of Christ. ### 5/5 — Radio review *2026-06-26, version 28.0* Family Radio is like tuning into a family. It is the only station that I know of that provides calming yet charismatic anointed music with those suffering from anxiety and stress. It also has an enormous amount of Bible teaching and shares the word in a calming effect not to not to much just right when I am not able to get Family Radio. I'm always trying to find a way to get back to listening to it. It is such a joy and such a blessing on this earth that we have family ### 5/5 — Family Radio *2026-06-23, version 28.0* Whether praise music or excellent teaching, Family Radio uplifts my spirit and adjusts my focus on the Lord (especially in times of trial)! Thank you all at Family Radio as you labor to bring us uplifting songs and words! May God richly bless you! ### 5/5 — Thank you!!! *2026-06-21, version 28.0* The most refreshing and Bible-based Christian radio station today! I love contemporary Christian music, but there’s something about the good old hymns. Thank you, Family Radio for spreading out throughout this world and especially now through apps. Thank you so much.

I only get a black screen. I have listened for years and all of a sudden ‘nothing’. ### 1/5 — Review *2025-05-27, version 27.2* Where did bible quiz each day go at 7:30am est? Music could use pep and Holy Spirit!!! Loved old app ### 1/5 — Nothing but black! *2025-05-21, version 27.2* I can no longer access this station. When I open, all I see is a black screen. Nothing to do besides close it. I will delete the app and try to reload. We’ll see what happens. ### 1/5 — This game is not good *2024-06-21, version 1.3.2* I don’t know what to do there’s nothing I can do I can’t do any thing and a lot more ### 1/5 — Poor. *2024-03-26, version 1.2.11* Always “buffering,” whatever that means in 2024. ### 1/5 — Family Radio *2023-12-03* Perhaps a glitch but one I submitted personal contact and downloaded app, app had an unmovable page request wanting my location. Music began to play and I had no means to make selections or review app. The only way I could stop music which played non stop whether app was tapped was to delete n unsubscribe. Still don’t know if this was a purchased app or not. It appeared to be free but as I attempted to stop app from playing non stop unrequested music and allow me access into app I was concerned there had been a monetary payment. So disappointed. ### 1/5 — Talk station not much worship. *2022-01-06, version 1.2.9* Talk talk talk, between commercials and the occasional song when they care enough to play one then talk talk talk ### 1/5 — Doesn't work anymore. *2021-03-16, version 1.1.0* Doesn't work anymore on my older devices. Like this IPod. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Jesus Grace *2026-08-22, version 28.0* Family radio has been instrumental in my life and I thank God for Family radio ### 5/5 — Feeling blessed!! *2026-08-19, version 28.0* What a great way to start my day.
