J'ai signalé le problème plusieurs fois mais l'équipe de service client ne me répondent plus. Dommage parce que à part ce problème majeur, c'est une bonne appli. ### 3/5 — mostly ok *2025-08-28* radios work, but ads can’t be closed on my iphone - “close” button is in the same place as the battery level indicator, very annoying **Developer response:** Dear user,Thank you for your feedback.We have forward this to the development team in order to be taken into consideration in a next version.Best regards, Support Team ### 4/5 — Review *2025-03-08, version 2.6.1* Too much adds ### 5/5 — Vrai radio *2024-10-05* Merci pour vos programmes. La publicité n’est pas envahissante. Une vraie source d’information et non pas une annexe de supermarché. Préservez votre indépendance pour assurer cette qualité. Un auditeur de chaque jour. ### 5/5 — Super App. Je l’aime bcp *2024-10-04, version 2.6.1* Mercure ### 5/5 — The best Ap if you want to stay in touch with France! *2024-09-07, version 2.6.1* I discovered this Ap not so long ago and….wow! So much choice. I now leave overseas and I love to stay in touch with French music and DJs. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Radio France 🇫🇷 *2024-08-20, version 2.6.1* J’adore 🥰🇫🇷🥰 ### 2/5 — No Live Radio *2024-07-21, version 2.6.1* Podcasts work but none of the live radio stations ### 5/5 — Amazing! Simply the best! *2024-07-20, version 2.6.1* The best music app out there! Easy to use, good buffering ensuring hours of music without a glitch! Love it! I use it all the time on my world travels sailing! ### 5/5 — Please add Podcast episodes sorting by date *2024-05-30, version 2.6.1* Please add ability to sort podcast episodes by date, oldest first. Currently they are sorted only by newest first, and when the episodes are played one after another, I hear them going back in time. I want to hear them going forward in time. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Sketch ads *2026-06-11, version 2.7.1* This app is full of deceptive ads, such as your phone is infected with viruses click here now. Or adult sites have infected your phone do this action now which trying to look like a phone popup. ### 1/5 — Good idea, bad bugs *2026-03-16, version 2.7.1* I like the app in theory, but the ads that are programmed in do not close when I click the “x” or the “close” button. I tried clearing my cache and reinstalling, but the problem persists. It’s mostly the one “google chrome” ad that keeps popping up, but I’ve also had another ad do the same thing. As it stands, the app is pretty much unusable for me. ### 1/5 — Beaucoup d’annonces *2026-03-04* J’ai payé pour la version premium pour me débarrasser des annonces, mais malheureusement il y a encore beaucoup d’annonces. **Developer response:** Cher utilisateur, Merci d'utiliser notre appli et d'avoir pris le temps d'écrire votre commentaire. La version payante exclut toutes les publicités visuelles. Si vous faites référence aux publicités audio, elles sont incluses dans les flux par les stations de radio et nous ne sommes pas autorisés à les supprimer. Bien à vous, L'Équipe Support ### 1/5 — Not happy *2025-03-16, version 2.6.1* Can only play the podcasts. Can’t play any of the radio stations. When I click on a station the “play” button appears for a second when I release my finger from the phone. Maybe I’m doing something wrong? Who knows. A little bit disappointed to say the least as I paid for ad free. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all *2025-03-14, version 2.6.1* Can’t start any station ### 1/5 — Ads stopping me using the app. *2025-03-01, version 2.6.1* This app is useless on an iPad. The ads at the bottom prevent me from pressing play, unless I pay for an ad blocker. Why should I? ### 1/5 — Not working at all *2025-01-21, version 2.6.1* Don’t bother ### 1/5 — Highly misleading and disappointing *2024-09-25, version 2.6.1* As an ex French resident, keen not to lose touch with the language, I was delighted to spot this app, downloaded it and paid £5.99 for ad removal. Big mistake. Why? I contacted Customer Services when I couldn’t get the app to work - I should add I have the GB version of it too - and got this reply: “Dear user, Thank you for your feedback. Due to legal issues, users who are in the UK can only listen to UK radio stations. Best regards, Support team” Does it state anywhere in the app that you can only listen to UK stations in the UK? It even states in French that listeners can enjoy using the app abroad. ### 1/5 — Rubbish! Just pop up ads *2024-07-11, version 2.6.1* The radio stations don’t play. All you get are pop up ads for Temu and similar. This is a con. ### 1/5 — Used to be amazing *2024-06-24, version 2.6.1* No longer works, just plays adverts ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I *2026-06-10, version 2.7.1* I enjoy too much Thanks. ### 5/5 — Fantastique !! *2026-05-13, version 2.7.1* Une excellente application avec un très bon graphique et une stabilité d’écoute exceptionnelle. Une petite amélioration si possible: changer l’ordre des chaînes favorites. Merci pour le travail de pro 😉 ### 5/5 — Excellent ! *2025-08-08, version 2.6.1* Love having access to a whole bunch of French radio stations… for free!! ### 5/5 — France Radio *2025-06-18, version 2.6.1* J’adore! Tout simplement! J’adore! ### 5/5 — Bashdar *2025-05-15, version 2.6.1* la meilleure radio pour mieux apprendre le français ### 5/5 — Works great *2025-04-10, version 2.6.1* Easy to find what you want. ### 5/5 — Ça va Ça va, pourquoi ? *2025-02-26, version 2.6.1* Superbes radioactives disques en direct! 👹 ### 5/5 — France Info *2025-01-12, version 2.6.1* Merci pour l’information ### 5/5 — Al *2024-12-30, version 2.6.1* Love your station ### 5/5 — Clear quality *2024-11-13, version 2.6.1* Very efficient keeps me close to home and informed. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
