What’s this “Gravity” and such you were playing a few minutes ago? Absolute Hogwash! ### 3/5 — Background *2022-06-07, version 3.13.210* In the past I used to be able to play LM/828 in the background on my phone will working in other apps at the same time. This is not possible anymore. Why? ### 5/5 — Found you *2021-04-10, version 3.12.3* Found the station by mistake setting up my radio stations in my new car and started listening!

I love the music I love the DJ’s. As a 74 year old it keeps me young at heart. The music brings back memories of glorious times gone by. Keep it up you are doing a magnificent job! ### 4/5 — Sleek app *2020-08-29, version 3.9.0* Very sleek app. Would score it 5 if it included a clock function so I can put in a sleep-timer and an alarm. ### 5/5 — Wonderful Music *2020-07-31, version 3.8.5* So thankful to have found you guys. You have been my go to music station for about 6 months and am still loving it. I tell anybody who cares to listen about this great music station. Am looking forward to your DAB roll out so that I don’t have to use my data. I love it that I can listen you anywhere in SA. The new app is stunning especially the line up info. Keep going boys. Great job. ### 5/5 — Gavin van Rensburg *2020-07-04, version 3.8.4* Magic 828 is a great station which would even better if you were to broadcast in the DSTV audio channel as well ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — On air *2025-03-02, version 4.01.005* Since the change from announcers to AI there has been a distinct change in the selection of music. Most times we will listen to 2 or 3 songs and if we don’t like them we will switch to another station. This happens almost each time we listen. We prefer the older music from the 60 to 90. The other problem we have is that the volume is so soft we can hardly hear the music. ### 1/5 — AMSignal *2023-09-12, version 3.13.333* Very frustrating trying to listen to Magic in S/West. AM signal is forever down. I know it is not their fault, but what is the reason for this. Kurt Vermaak ### 1/5 — Yuk *2023-07-07, version 3.13.326* From an awesome music station it is now endless talking in the morning. The magic is gone ! ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work properly *2022-06-09, version 3.13.211* Hi, The app works intermittently. It pauses all the time and today it won’t work at all. Also found that this new version switches off as soon as my screensaver goes on. ### 1/5 — Crap Music *2021-04-03, version 3.12.3* At 00:15 on Sunday 4th April you were just playing crap music, not your normal quality. Please stop that! ### 1/5 — Frustrated *2021-03-06, version 3.12.0* I just want to listen to the radio. But when I open the app I have to jump through hoops to listen. It’s logging on the bank only more frustrating. I can’t even send this bloody message ### 1/5 — Sign in *2020-10-07, version 3.9.0* I cannot Register with this App.. it keeps telling me to fill in all the info... ### 1/5 — Feedback *2020-09-17, version 3.9.0* I have been a listener of magic since inception. Sadly the New mix has lost its magic . GMac had a way of drawing me into his show and getting happily involved. This is now lost to me Lots on annoying technical issue and nothing entices me to respond. I live in the U.K. and as an expat I used Magic 828 to stay connected. Now I have switched to a uk station. Hopefully u can get your magic back. Music still great ! Jonno ### 1/5 — iPhone support needed *2020-07-09, version 3.8.5* Cuts off after a few minutes. Restarts on pushing play, and then cuts off again. ### 1/5 — Ugh! *2020-07-03, version 3.8.4* Doesn’t work on my iPhone ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Review *2023-07-03, version 3.13.326* Listener friendly station.
