### 3/5 — 有待改善

*2025-10-06, version 2.8.37*

對手機的操作都會導致播放停止，聽whatapp留言後又不會自動播放，要入app重新按播放，能否改善？

### 1/5 — Way way Too much ads

*2025-09-03, version 2.8.36*

CLS TMD MF Too much ads

### 1/5 — Trapped to the advertisement loop

*2025-08-28, version 2.8.36*

After the app update, there is no way to quit the advertisements when you launch the app and you have to randomly reopen the app again and again to get a adv that can quit. I’m curious why Apple App Store will approve this kind of app.

### 1/5 — Ads

*2025-08-25, version 2.8.36*

only see ads

### 1/5 — Launch app and ads took over.

*2025-08-25*

I’m deleting this app because when the app launches, the ad took over and never let me launch the radio stream.

### 3/5 — Without landscape layout

*2025-01-06, version 2.8.29*

Most of my time will use the app with my iPad but it didn’t come with landscape layout and it’s not convenient to user like me when I put my iPad on the landscape stand.

### 3/5 — Developer: Run perf test

*2024-11-02*

This app is draining battery after the update and stops playing ever several minutes.

### 5/5 — please add 100 ads every time the user start the apps

*2023-11-30*

i think the apps does not have enough ads, i only got 3 ads everytime i start the apps. i think the developer can make it to show more (like maybe 300) ads or more everytime before i can use apps. i understand Ads are the main dish of this apps and the feeling of users or user experience is always ignored, on top of the always down or cannot play radio function, this apps is at best for playing ads. This would further maximize the profit by having 300 ads everytime the users start the apps!

### 1/5 — Suport Carplay ?

*2023-11-17, version 2.8.21*

幾時先可以support carplay ?

### 4/5 — 控制版面不能顯示

*2023-09-16, version 2.8.21*

更新了IOS16.6.1後就不能在控制版面顯示，另一部未更新的則沒有影響
