### 2/5 — 曲名が止まったまま

*2025-10-18, version 5.0.3*

おそらく内部の問題だと思いますが、たまに数日は曲名などの情報が更新されないままになります。J1HDは日本のIPでは再生できません。全ての音声に一定のノイズが混じっており聴きにくいです。

### 5/5 — yes

*2022-06-29*

yes

### 5/5 — いい感じです！

*2020-07-12, version 5.0.0*

3年半ぶりのアップデート。広告表示もなくなって曲名情報やネクストプログラムの情報の表示など、今までの使いやすさはそのままに更に改良されています。ボクはJ1が好き！

### 5/5 — 曲名出して欲しい

*2020-01-16, version 4.1.6*

歌手と曲名お願いします。

### 3/5 — LOVE the station! App needs work

*2019-04-02*

My #1 gripe with the app is that the stream will sometimes stop playing for no reason. Phone set aside, not touching it, steady wifi connection, music cuts out. Frustratingly, sometimes this happens after just a few seconds.

My #2 complaint is that the Playlist (recent /next up) does not update after the initial start of the app. After a few minutes with the app open, this list is useless.

I wish the Favorites list could be compiled from J1’s entire playlist (such as is available to browse on the website) and a notification setting could be turned on to notify me when a favored song or artist is about to play.

I have been listening to J1 for about a year, ramping up my language studies and really enjoying listening to the latest hits from Japan as well as the weather and jingles changing with the seasons. Thankful that this service / app is available, even if not perfect. I’ve had a good year of discovering fresh music and artists thanks to J1. It is my favorite non-talk channel.

### 5/5 — すばらしいです！

*2016-09-05*

I have been a fan of this station since the early 2000's. It's the best thing since sliced Daikon! Thank you to the creators of this station!

### 5/5 — Japanese immersion

*2016-08-29*

This station and App have been great in helping me find ways to immerse myself in more Japanese every day.  I feel like I'm missing out on an entire catalog of music that I can't wait to enjoy once I learn more of the language.

### 2/5 — Not Preferred for Newcomers

*2016-06-20*

This sure does JPOP.

It does not show the title nor artist that is currently playing. If you are okay with this then this app works fine.
