The only ”enhancement" offered by the new app—a higher bitrate—is beyond useless to anyone listening in a vehicle, since wind and tire noise make the nominally improved sound quality impossible to detect or appreciate, and the greatly increased bandwidth burden has rendered the cellular stream non-functional at least half of the time I try to use the app. The initial problems with Apple CarPlay have been partially addressed, but those that remain—both stuttering connections and complete halts to streaming that sometimes respond to fiddling and sometimes are impossibly to safely address while driving—are maddening. For what it’s worth, the current app works very well with broadband WiFi, but I very seldom use it this way. ### 2/5 — PLEASE FIX *2025-05-01, version 8.28.5* Hello 👋 I have been listening to MVY Radio and have made donations for years. This last update that was done, has really screwed up the connection. Signal goes in and out. Most the time I can get the station to come on when I activate the app. PLEASE FIX! I miss listening to MVY Radio because there is no other station like it. ### 3/5 — Great station, meh app *2025-04-12, version 8.28.3* I love MVY. It’s the best radio station. However, the app has been a bit meh lately. A recent update broke its connection with CarPlay. Prior to that, it worked usually, but would sometimes freeze and require quitting the app to get it working again. It’d be amazing if the app was stable and worked perfectly with CarPlay. I’d also love it if the app, both on the phone and through CarPlay, allowed listening to the archive shows on MVY. ### 2/5 — Used to be great *2024-02-14, version 8.16.0* So sorry to report this app has been very difficult on my iPhone 14 the past few months. Takes forever to load and often never gets there. Other apps continue to work fine. ### 3/5 — Wonky app *2024-01-09* Sometimes this app works great, and other times it either fails to finish loading or refuses to connect once it does. Sometimes, even when it isn’t loaded, it connects all by itself in the middle of the night and starts blasting away on my nightstand. I’m honestly not sure if the problems are with the app or with iOS, but either way an app I’ve been using for years that once worked reliably has become annoyingly unreliable. (The wonky performance of the app aside, I still love the station.) ### 3/5 — What is with the ads? *2018-08-12, version 5.1.36* Recently MVYradio app has ads when starting up. Very annoying. Especially for a “non-commercial” radio station. Hope they can fix this and get rid of the ads. The station is otherwise my favorite radio station. ### 3/5 — What's playing *2016-05-11, version 5.0.9* PLEASE go back to or enable a setting to switch to the simple screen showing whats playing and what has previously play. Instead of the screen that scrolls all the twitter feed stuff. ### 2/5 — Crashes *2015-05-03, version 5.0.0* Latest update crashes. Reinstalled. Same issue. ### 2/5 — great station but app needs work *2013-05-06, version 3.1.1* This new version closes enexpectedly. ### 1/5 — Lastest version is broken! *2012-12-26, version 3.0.4* Updated to latest version on all my devices. It crashes every 5-10 mins on every device (iphone4 & iphone5). Please fix as I enjoy MyMVY! ### 2/5 — Crash *2012-12-26, version 3.0.4* A long time loyal and contributing streamer, i find there is no option but to upgrade and it closes every 2-3 minutes. :/ The old version was a 5 star winner. Give us an option to downgrade please. ### 1/5 — Crash Crash *2012-12-25, version 3.0.4* Love MVY - BUT v3.0.4 crashes every few minutes. If this station is to survive it MUST have a reliable app. This is not good during their critical hours of fundraising for survival. MVY - if your listening, fix this now or at least let me go back to v3.0.3 till you do. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Updates not possible on my phone. *2026-05-12, version 8.30.51* Now I have to buy. New phone to Listen to this station. You just lost a listener! ### 1/5 — So very, very disappointed... *2025-04-24* The old, pre-bitrate-enhanced version of the app had its share of quirks but I had figured out how to work around virtually all of them. The only ”enhancement" offered by the new app—a higher bitrate—is beyond useless to anyone listening in a vehicle, since wind and tire noise make the nominally improved sound quality impossible to detect or appreciate, and the greatly increased bandwidth burden has rendered the cellular stream non-functional at least half of the time I try to use the app. The initial problems with Apple CarPlay have been partially addressed, but those that remain—both stuttering connections and complete halts to streaming that sometimes respond to fiddling and sometimes are impossibly to safely address while driving—are maddening. I've supported mvyradio monetarily for years, but unless this app is fixed soon that support is going to be coming to an end. ### 1/5 — Great station, clunky app *2023-12-12, version 8.8.0* I love MVY so much I must I’m a sustaining donor but this app is annoying! It is very slow to load. A network error alarm comes on almost every time I start the app and the station won’t start until you press OK. Then of course it’s slow to load. Sometimes it takes several tries to get on. Sadly, this has been going on for years. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t load. *2019-07-30, version 6.8.1* Mvy radio doesn’t load ### 1/5 — MVYRadio App *2015-07-12, version 5.0.0* It's crap! ### 1/5 — Spam *2013-06-01, version 3.1.1* This thing spammed by home screen with an ad for an album. No thank you. Gone for good. ### 1/5 — Crash! *2013-05-26, version 3.1.1* I thought it was me.... I loved the older version. Donated money to help the situation. Now the new version crashes repeatedly. Typically close to 5 minutes. I will not keep reopening app. Extremely frustrating!! Help! ### 1/5 — Please Fix *2013-05-20, version 3.1.1* Keeps shutting off! Play for 5 minutes tops then you have to reload the program ### 1/5 — App was great, until update- crashes *2013-05-20* I really enjoyed this app. It would play for hours, filling my workday with great music. Ever since the update it only plays for a few minutes, the crashes. I am running it on an iPhone 4 With the latest software update. Please fix this glitch, and return to the 5 star app you once were. ### 1/5 — Goodbye *2013-03-22, version 3.1.1* I love mvy, but not enough to buy a new iPod. This version requires iOS 4.3 which my second generation iPod Touch doesn't support. The older version of the app worked great until today, when it is forcing an update. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Drops *2025-04-28, version 8.28.5* Great music. Streaming all day. Many drops recently ### 5/5 — Excellent way to listen to MVYradio! *2020-10-02, version 6.18.0* Works with Apple CarPlay I have listened to MVY on the motorway in Ireland in a rental car. Also works with Bluetooth in my Ford. Take MVYRadio everywhere you go 👍 ### 5/5 — Great station *2019-07-14, version 6.8.1* Everybody’s so energetic and awesome ### 5/5 — You'll dl and you'll like it. *2017-02-15, version 5.1.36* The best radio station in NE, in app form. Thanks MVY! ### 5/5 — Outstanding radio station *2014-05-28, version 3.4.0* I used to listen to Mvy when I lived in Falmouth, Ma for years. They were one of the first stations to stream live and have only improved. I'm not aware of another unique station like this one. They have no set format like Rock, Country, Easy listening or anything like that. They play just about everything that is out there. They also play a lot of local artists and they even have a segment where they play an entire CD of one artist. It takes awhile to get used to listening because you will here music you have never heard before. WMVY opens your ears and mind to all kinds of new music!!! ### 5/5 — My favorite station *2013-05-20, version 3.1.1* I been listening for 20+ years on FM and now online. But it crashes every 5 minutes to the second. What's up? ### 5/5 — Love WMVY! *2013-03-05, version 3.1.1* Awesome radio station. Reminds me of my summers on the Vineyard! ### 5/5 — Crash *2013-01-10, version 3.0.4* Keeps crashing after 5 min. What a shame for such a great station. Go in through tunin radio. App. Update. Looks like they fixed it.…; ### 5/5 — This Is What Radio Could Be *2012-10-22, version 3.0.3* Remember that college radio station with the disc jockey who seemed to play music you'd have never heard unless you owned a record store? Well, a couple of these folks apparently took up residence on Martha's Vineyard. If you're tired of commercial radio, give these guys a listen. There's still a place where people who love music are allowed to play songs that aren't necessarily going to be on the Billboard Hot 100. Do your ears and your soul a favor. Try WMVY. You may like it. ### 5/5 — Outstanding Station .... Great apps *2012-10-20, version 3.0.3* good fun --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
