### 2/5 — Changing details

*2026-04-06, version 9.28.1*

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

### 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.

### 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

### 3/5 — Kerrang

*2024-07-23, version 9.24*

Good music app not so good? 
Asks for premium update at the wrong time when driving and have to cancel it to start the app and music? Also adverts when you turn on the app? So again at inoperative time like driving? 
Sort this out please

### 4/5 — Stability

*2023-12-23, version 9.22*

Listen every day but have noticed since I stared paying for it, slightly unstable cuts out and I have to log in again quite a lot, annoying especially when driving as I can’t sort it out until I stop

### 4/5 — Decant music+ funny commentary

*2023-09-13, version 9.22*

This is very good, and a tight choice of music so every song is 7-8+ what makes up for you not having complete control of what comes on is the great hosts that are funny and don’t hold up the show brilliant work would recommend

### 2/5 — Still buggy

*2023-05-01, version 9.21.1*

Only loads kerrang radio in CarPlay, pay for premium.

### 4/5 — Loads of choice but poor sound quality

*2023-02-18, version 9.20.1*

First of all the sheer choice here is fantastic; everything from death metal to musicals to 00s pop!
The ui is servicable but has a persistent notification and starts up automatically which is annoying.
Losing a mark though as the sound quality even on Premium is awful, sounds similar to DAB so its really compressed. Wasnt expecting sound like Tidal or Apples lossless but unless its background noise or a small speaker its really poor sadly.

### 5/5 — Enjoying the app

*2022-02-14, version 9.16.2*

Thank you for creating the app I’m loving the choices of music and keep safe and been well.

### 1/5 — Disgraceful

*2021-12-28, version 9.15*

Too many adverts and marketing information on top of the fact you have to pay for the privilege!!!!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 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.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2025-05-22, version 9.28.1*

The app does not display the tracks currently playing

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work after first 7 days

*2023-10-31, version 9.22*

After first 7 days you can only log in by registering your account however doesn’t send an e-Mail to do this so you then can’t listen to the app

### 1/5 — Screwed by their own greed

*2023-05-23, version 9.21.1*

Used the app for a while then it demanded I create an account. I fundamentally hate this as all they want to do is sell your personal data. Well they screwed themselves. Their crap programmers are so bad it won’t accept either of my email addresses and keeps telling me to enter a valid email address.   This just says it all. If they can’t get this right what hope for anything else, let alone respecting my privacy.   They have literally no NEED for your details at all.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work well with google dot

*2023-02-16, version 9.20.1*

When you click a new station it'll start playing in your phone while the other station plays on the google dot.

Say the station says the used I'll click on it but a different song is playing and then the station will update with what I'm actually listening to. Very flawed imo. 

Currently have the free trial but can't see myself staying subscribed

### 1/5 — Lost Premium Subscription

*2022-10-01, version 9.19.1*

Paid for Premium, it’s worked fine for 3-4 weeks but now I don’t seem to have I anymore - I get constant ads, the “Last Played” information is completely wrong and I can only see the main Kerrang! radio station and not all the others (Alt Rock, Unleashed etc..) and instead there is a deluge of Magic/Kiss which I have no interest in listening to.

### 1/5 — Kerrang! charges

*2022-08-03, version 9.17.4*

Well I’m so disappointed with kerrang! Now charging for all the stations I used to listen to. With the way the world is it’s beyond a joke. Uninstalled!!!!!
Just have to rely on Spotify and YouTube.

### 1/5 — Really good until…

*2022-03-17, version 9.16.2*

Brilliant app, really nice that you could listen to all 3 Kerrang! Station. Until they decided to add a premium element and limit you to only one that’s free. Real shame.

### 1/5 — New update doesn’t work

*2022-02-13, version 9.16.2*

The latest update causes the app to crash as soon as it opens.
Sort it out please I need Kerrang in my life 🤟😥

### 1/5 — No longer works since the update

*2022-02-09, version 9.16.2*

The latest update has broken the app, unfortunately: it bombs out as soon as I launch it. Restarted my iPhone, un/reinstalled the app, tried everything. What a shame.
