### 3/5 — Já foi melhor

*2026-08-12*

Alguma de rádios já não tocam como a ADORE JAZZ!

### 3/5 — Trouble to open local phone music files

*2026-02-03, version 4.5*

For some reason  I’m no able to see or play my apple music files. I noticed that HighStereo version in Apple store is label 4.5, but once installed it is 4.3, am I using an old version?
When I bought the paid version used to work fine.
Need Help!

### 4/5 — Muito bom

*2025-11-19, version 4.5*

Só não tem para o computador

### 4/5 — I like BUT

*2025-09-03, version 4.5*

This is a great resource. I like the retro look. The equalization options are great, and the sound is awesome. The one suggestion I have is to add a volume knob or gain knob to the app. While I can use my phones volume, I can’t get the volume low enough with earphones without turning the sound completely off especially with radio. In other words, the lowest volume on my iPhone is not really low and then the next step lower is no volume

### 3/5 — Can’t play Audio Files

*2025-07-11, version 4.5*

### 4/5 — Bazen hata oluyor

*2025-02-14, version 4.5*

### 1/5 — Nutzlos

*2026-07-31*

Findet keinen Musik Ordner.

### 1/5 — Review

*2025-12-11, version 4.5*

Make it sound better. When you turn up the bass through the knobs, it distorts sounds terrible.

### 1/5 — Music load

*2025-11-06, version 4.5*

The new version will not load my Apple Music.

### 1/5 — Can’t get mp3 files to generate

*2025-10-30, version 4.5*

Bought this to listen to some podcasts with some ambient effects in the bg. I’ve followed every step this thing has said to follow, I can’t even get a single file to open. Even went and hooked my phone to a laptop, went into apps, moved all the files directly to the app successfully, go to use the app and the pods are nowhere to be found. Pretty frustrating.

### 1/5 — King

*2025-09-07, version 4.5*

This app is garbage, the worse 2$ that I ever spent.  I wish I had gave my change to a crackhead.  I don’t even want to give it one star.

### 1/5 — Ich verstehe nicht, wie man MP3 abspielen kann

*2025-08-13*

Anforderungsprofil: ich habe einen Ordner in dem MP3 abgespeichert sind. Diese möchte ich mit der Software abspielen, eben das, was ein MP3 Music Player tut.
Das kriegt die Software nicht hin (oder ich) daher nur ein Stern. Schade ums Geld!

### 1/5 — Не работает

*2025-05-03*

Зря потратил деньги ,наепалово

### 1/5 — No se asocia a Apple Music

*2024-11-16, version 4.5*

Solo sirve el radio, no se asocia a Apple Music y no se puede emparejar al home pod, tiré 39 pesos a la basura

### 1/5 — 👎

*2024-10-26, version 4.5*

Non sprecate i vostri soldi,non funziona più niente,la radio si disconnette in continuazione,l’app va in crash ogni 2 minuti e per ascoltare i brani della mia libreria musicale dovrei collegarmi con il pc e scaricare i miei file sulla app,e certo,altri 80 giga dovrei sprecare sul mio iPhone 👎

### 1/5 — Installation du lecteur

*2024-08-16, version 4.5*

Beaucoup trop compliquer : impossible de transférer les mp3 de la clé usb dans le lecteur . NUL

Ottimo software lo consiglio a tutti

### 5/5 — 使い方が

*2025-10-21*

よく分からない💦

### 5/5 — Manque creation de compte personnalisé

*2025-08-30, version 4.5*

Tres bonne application . Manque possibilite de creer un compte et de partager des listes de radio favorites sur plusieurs appareils !

### 5/5 — Лучший проигрыватель для работы с потоками

*2025-07-30*

Отображается все, переключается все. Этот проигрыватель работает с сетевыми ссылками, но делает это на порядок грамотнее, чем VLC и ему подобные. Выдрал все аудиопотоки и вручную воткнул их сюда. И послал подальше все эти неработающие приложения. Не надо то одно приложение открывать, то другое, то ждать не пойми чего: здесь заглох один поток, либо началась болтовня - ткнул пальцем на заблокированном экране и мгновенно пошел играть другой поток. Все названия песен видны, названия радиостанций отображаются и можно редактировать эти названия. А не так как в VLC: как поймал, так и будет навсегда. Короче, великолепнейший проигрыватель!! Рекомендую!!

### 5/5 — 很有質感

*2025-04-20, version 4.5*

### 5/5 — Thicha

*2025-03-04, version 4.5*

Très bonne appli radio, belle interface, simple a utiliser! L’appli payante vaut le coup ! 😉

### 5/5 — Equalizer

*2025-02-10, version 4.5*

Needs to be programmed to work with iPod downloads as well. Other wise app is awesome.

### 5/5 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️

*2025-01-19, version 4.5*

Eines der besten Radio Apps überhaupt⭐️⭐️⭐️
