Great music, happy and friendly presenters, the sense of humour your guys have... a total scream! ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2017-01-18, version 1.8.1* Perfect! An app with no issues! ### 5/5 — It Works!!! *2016-05-23, version 1.7.1* The best thing about this app is that it works well and responds very fast ... A pleasure to use ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2016-03-03, version 1.6.17* Thanks JacarandaFm, working well when not close to a radio ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Rob *2023-09-08, version 1.12.0* Can hardly ever get your app to work ### 1/5 — Why this this rather than web? *2021-10-11, version 1.12.0* The app allows you to do what is done on the web. There is no streaming function… ### 1/5 — Infuriating frustrating *2021-09-28, version 1.12.0* This app is the most unreliable app ever ### 2/5 — App doesn’t always work *2025-02-27, version 1.12.0* App often stops working and the audio does not always play when app is running. ### 2/5 — App crash on iPod touch *2024-12-05, version 1.12.0* I just updated my Jacaranda FM app, but when I try to open the app it crashes after 1 second, please fix.... I have a iPod touch 5th generation ### 2/5 — Average *2024-08-01, version 1.12.0* Your ads interfere with the app. When listening to radio, and ad will come up, and then the radio audio doesn’t play again thereafter. Very frustrating. ### 2/5 — Frustratingly incompetent *2020-08-09, version 1.11.2* When the app works it’s great but any network issues and it fails miserably. I understand the app is not capable of fixing the internet but some level of accommodation should be possible. Furthermore getting the app to airplay or Chromecast etc. Is a real task ### 4/5 — LOVE Jacaranda FM *2020-10-26, version 1.11.4* Original, Funny, Compassionate. Absolutely LOVE some of the ad campaigns.. Domestic Abuse, depression, feeling unwell during COVID. Very useful. No UK station here has such fantastic campaigns like yours. Admiral!!!!
