### 5/5 — How to make better

*2026-07-14, version 9.28.1*

John Mahoney gone! Yahoo!! Just Paris to go! Keep up the good work Kerrang!

### 1/5 — Endless irrelevant adverts

*2026-06-22, version 9.28.1*

I if you imagine turning on your radio  and listening to irrelevant adverts before any music, this is what this app is like. Also the adverts repeat or change half way through to another advert.

### 5/5 — How to make better

*2026-05-25, version 9.28.1*

Please loose Paris and John unfortunately not good great station otherwise

### 2/5 — Changing details

*2026-04-06, version 9.28.1*

Surprised that I couldn’t change my password! Why not?

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2025-05-22, version 9.28.1*

The app does not display the tracks currently playing

### 4/5 — Stop bothering me with Rayo app!

*2025-03-03, version 9.27*

I downloaded Kerrang to listen to Kerrang. I don’t care for the Rayo group or the additional app. Stop asking me every time I launch Kerrang.

### 5/5 — Metal Man

*2025-02-05, version 9.27*

Absolutely Awesome 😎

### 4/5 — It’s a good app but

*2025-01-12, version 9.27*

This app use to be great until it was bought by another company and they try to force you to use an alternative app by shoving ads in your face everytime you launch the app.

Obviously you can still use the Kerrang radio app but it’s a disappointment that they’re trying to force you off with adverts to a new app.

Sadly to get more stations you have to pay for premium but the standard Kerrang live radio is decent enough

### 5/5 — Love it

*2024-07-31, version 9.24*

Great app love it so much I use it all the time
