The app is beyond stupid

It will randomly start playing. There’s no way to pause and stay pause. No way to prevent auto start… beside deleting the app entirely

Too HOT

Can someone fix the app please? Im on iphone 17 pro and this app overheats my phone and drains the battery.
Still bo fix yet. Battery still draining and no one cars.

The worst I have seen

This app is perhaps one of the worst I’ve ever seen in terms of UX. It’s demonstrably horrible fails. Any intuitive navigation or response or use of icons it’s conceptual mapping and limits are not expressed. It’s product manager needs to be fired and the design team sent to a far place in order not to harm others. if I could get rid of the app and I didn’t have a Tesla I would in a heartbeat. run away before downloading this much less paying for the premium experience.

Poor service

Will make you listen to add just to open app

Hot Tamale

iPhone 7 Pro gets hot when streaming with this app.

Please add support for old Toyota’s

I loved LiveOne but ever since Toyota decided to kill off Entune I has no use for it. Please add support for the car so I can keep using it!!!!!

There’s an issue

I have been using this app for years (back when it was Slacker). I’ve always preferred it over other music apps, but the last few months every single time I use the app, my phone (iPhone) overheats and the battery is drained within an hour. I’ve patiently waited for an update to the app, but nothing yet. Very disappointing because I can’t use the app unless this issue is resolved. I don’t want to carry a hot phone around just to listen to music for an hour before the phone dies.

Battery hog

This app is a needless battery hog on my phone. I can stream other music stations and this uses 5X the battery compared to others.

The good things about this app are the stations are decent and has reasonable ads without subscription. If it weren’t for the battery usage I would use it more.

Terrible Change to Favorite Mashup

LiveOne used to be a great app. The Favorite Mashup Station played mostly the songs I had hearted or favorited, with only a few random suggestions mixed in. Recently, that has changed a lot. Now it plays too many random suggestions that are not close to what I like. Maybe 1 in 5 songs are one Thar o favorites. Deleting live one.

Drains battery and overheats phone

This had been a great app at one point, and stations are great still if I try it, but the app is currently so poorly written that it drains my phone by 5% or more for just a single song, and overheats my phone with all the cpu it overuses. As an app it’s unusable in its current state.

Drains battery

The station selection is great, especially for the price, but with the latest iOS update, it eats my battery like there’s no tomorrow, and makes my phone overheat.

Long time user, first complaint ever.

I’ve been using this app since its inception, back when it was Yahoo Radio, then Slacker Radio, the Live x Live, then Live One. This will be my first complaint.

Why the unnecessary remixes of songs? I want to listen to the original 1979 song by Smashing Pumpkins, not some weird remix. I don’t want to listen to a remix of an Ace of Base song, I want to hear the actual Ace of Base song. If you want to play remixes of songs from different decades, then generate a station that plays only remixes of rock and pop songs. But leave the originals where they belong. This just distracts from the experience as a listener.

Should be three stars

I gave the five stars to the review that "Slacker was better. Previously downloaded songs are now reduced to 30 clips. Upgrades tend to actually be downgrades. I’ve stopped upgrading.
I still listen to LiveOne Music, listening to only the genre at the moment.

A lot of problems lately.

Keeps saying I’m not connected to the internet, when I clearly am. Then when I close it down and reopen, it won’t load up. When it finally does open it wants me to sign in, but it won’t let me. Then it eventually starts working again for a bit before it repeats this whole process. Lost my account due to this and had to start over. Now it’s doing it again. Come on Live One, get your app to work properly!

The curated stations are simply the best

The curated stations are simply the best. Thoughtful and entertaining stations keep me coming back! The algorithms for related songs and artists can sometimes be a bit off target; there’s always room for improvement. Absolutely recommend!

Drains battery even when charging

At some point there was an update that just kills this app. iPhone 15 gets hot and battery drains in minutes, and it’s only when using this app. Shame.

Amazing

This app is great but when I run the app my phone gets very hot and brings my battery level down to by 12% after 20 mins of usage (iPhone 16 brand new in 2025).

App crashes on iPad and iPhone no response from support

LiveOne stopped working on both my iPhone and ipad support has not followed up as of yet
