### 5/5 — Eski bir dost

*2026-03-20, version 1.1.1*

Radyo linkini gir dinle pratik harika eski ama eskimeyen dost. Nice yıllara.

### 5/5 — Des années que j'utilise cette application...

*2026-02-26, version 1.1.1*

....Et elle marche comme au premier jour ! J'ai eu le temps de passer d'iOS6 à iOS 26 (!) et le côté simple, efficace et léger et l'aspect "confidentialité" me plaisent toujours autant. Comme l'application prend en charge les liens en .pls, je peux écouter une infinité de webradios du monde entier pour peu que je trouve le lien (streamurl m'aide beaucoup pour cela par exemple).
En tout cas, j'ai regardé les concurrents par curiosité, mais ils ont rapidement été balayés. 
J'approuve cette appli à 100%. Merci à vous, Julien-Pierre Avérous !

### 5/5 — Der perfekte Radioplayer

*2026-01-11, version 1.1.1*

Es benötigt mal ein Update da ich keine neuen Sender hinzufügen kann ansonsten bleibt es mein Favorit unter den Radioplayern

### 5/5 — It still works great!

*2025-09-06, version 1.1.1*

I’ve been using this app since the 2000s and amazing the dev keeps it here!

### 5/5 — Great for password protected streams!

*2025-01-31, version 1.1.1*

This is the only iOS app that supports icecast streams that are protected with a user name and password! Works great, and title streaming works well, too.

### 5/5 — Been a user since 2008

*2024-10-12, version 1.1.1*

Thank you for maintaining this application!

### 5/5 — Still Works iOS 17

*2024-10-07, version 1.1.1*

Fstream still working in iOS 17! The interface is dated, but so is listening to radio streams.  Thanks to the developer for building a solid app with the feature not found elsewhere in streaming client apps.

### 5/5 — Plugin

*2024-08-12, version 1.1.1*

Manque le "Default FStream Plugin" si pratique dans une autre version
Pour moi le "Best Of" des applis radios
Bien cordialement

### 5/5 — Auch 2023 noch die beste Radio App…

*2023-02-28, version 1.1.1*

Wenn man weiß, was eine URL eines Radiostreams ist und eine einfache, werbefreie und kostenlose App sucht, um diese Streams bequem abzuspielen, ist man hier richtig. Über ein Webinterface kann man am Rechner bequem die Senderliste verwalten und ist so nicht davon abhängig, welche Streams verfügbar sind. Ich nutze diese App seit über 10 Jahren und bin zufrieden

### 5/5 — Perfekte App zum Radio hören

*2022-07-29, version 1.1.1*

Für mich die beste App. Die Streaming-Urls trägt man per Webinterface ein. Alles ohne zusätzliche Werbung und schön einfach gehalten.

Nutze ich täglich.
