### 5/5 — CarPlay, please!

*2025-06-01, version 23.4.1*

Would be great if this app were CarPlay compatible, so I could add it to my radio Home Screen and rock out on the road 🔊🚗

### 5/5 — Stop looking to NPR for indie music!

*2024-10-07, version 23.4.1*

I love independent music. Stop here for something eclectic, human, and unique. The music is good too!

### 5/5 — Indie goodness

*2024-05-29, version 23.4.1*

I always thought the best radio stations in the world would be in New York, LA, or maybe Seattle. Turns out it’s in… CincinnatI Ohio? How could such a thing happen? The long answer is in a book and a podcast. Just google WOXY. The short answer is a little station at a college campus started going independent with the new ‘alternative’ format in 1983. Over the next 2 decades they stayed true to their formal while Clear Channel homogenized radio across the nation. They built a dedicated fan base and thrived. When the original owners retired the station went internet only and lasted another decade, but eventually had to shut down. From the ashes comes INHAILER. Created by fans of the original station and dedicated to bringing the best new indie music to the most dedicated fans. Listen. Enjoy. Repeat.

### 5/5 — Thanks for the memories!!!

*2024-01-14, version 23.4.1*

And thanks for doing real alternative radio right again!   
97x was my station from 83 until it stopped streaming in 2010. I never understood why they let such a successful brand fade into obscurity. Thank you for bringing it back in some form!!!

### 5/5 — Great app

One quibble with app — seems to not connect with Bluetooth headphone controls, so I can’t play/pause with headphone button. Volume controls work fine.
