### 5/5 — Sehr guter Player

*2026-06-27*

Toller Player. TOP !!!

**Developer response:** Hallo Marc,

Herzlichen Dank für die tolle Bewertung und dass Du Pladio nutzt. 

Und solltest Du irgendwann ein Problem oder eine Feature Idee haben, dann lass es mich bitte auf https://feedback-portal.pladio.app wissen.

Beste Grüsse,
Patrick

### 4/5 — Super App

*2026-05-21*

Eine super App, die ich gerne und oft nutze. Seit kurzem allerdings pausiert die Radiowiedergabe nicht mehr zuverlässig, wenn man per CarPlay einen Sender hört und einen Anruf annimmt. Immer wieder startet dann die Wiedergabe, was natürlich nicht so sein sollte. Ich hoffe ein Bug, der schnell behoben wird.

**Developer response:** Hallo jotalei,
Danke für das Feedback. Ich werde mich dem Bug mit Version 1.4.4 widmen, welche ca. Ende Juni 2026 verfügbar sein wird.
Beste Grüsse,
Patrick

### 5/5 — Top top !

*2026-05-18*

Franchement stylée comme application, fluide, ça fonctionne parfaitement, interface claire et les fonctionnalités au top !  Ça va me changer un peu des services de streaming musical !  😊 Bravo au dev !  👏👏

**Developer response:** Merci beaucoup pour cet excellent avis. Cela me fait très plaisir et me motive énormément ! Et si jamais tu trouves une erreur ou si tu as une idée d'amélioration, n'hésite pas à m'en faire part ici : https://feedback-portal.pladio.app. 

Cordialement,
Patrick

### 5/5 — Tolle RadioApp, viele Funktionen, MusicCover,Lyrics, Equalizer, Anbindung an Apple Music

*2026-05-14*

Sehr schönes Startup, Radiosender werden jedenfalls für Deutschland zuverlässig gefunden und mit SenderLogo, AlbumCover und Lyrics richtig angezeigt. Übersichtliches minimalistisches Design, das Logo der App selber könnte etwas mehr Auswahl vertragen, es kommt noch eine Einstellung für einen Puffer von einer bis 5 Sekunden zum zuverlässigen störungsfreien Abspielen von Sendern bei schwacher WLAN oder Netzwerkverbindung. Wirklich toll ist die Möglichkeit zum Aufruf von einzelnen Songs in Apple Music, YouTube oder hoffentlich demnächst auch Spotify. Songtexte werden direkt angezeigt, und selbst seltene Sender wie Radio Suisse Classique oder VCR Venice Classic Radio sind so eingebunden, dass AlbumCover und Titel angezeigt werden – toll. Einziger Kritikpunkt Ist die fehlende Lautstärkeregelung, diese ist jetzt  im BasisAbo für 0,99 € pro Monat enthalten, das ist angesichts der gebotenen Funktionen ok. Summarum ist diese App schon jetzt eine klare Empfehlung, Verbesserung gehen ja immer, Entwicklungsteam hat in wenigen Tagen auf Anregungen reagiert.

**Developer response:** Hallo CPGH,

Herzlichen Dank für das überaus tolle Review! Ich nehme das Feedback ernst und versuche schrittweise gewünschte Verbesserungen einzubauen, Bugs zu beheben, oder zumindest schnell zu kommentieren, sollte es aus irgendeinem Grund nicht passen.

Als alleiniger Entwickler motiviert mich solches Feedback sehr - danke! Dank der tollen Community wird Pladio sich weiter entwickeln - und negative Kritik trägt dazu bei, dass die App auch besser und stabiler wird!

Ein konfigurierbarer Buffer wird übrigens mit Version 1.5 kommen. Zuerst aber noch der eine oder andere Bugfix.

Best Grüsse,
Patrick

### 5/5 — Nach Update immer besser

*2026-05-10*

Die App wird immer besser.
Überlege den Life-Time-In-App extra zu kaufen.

Über CarPlay sieht es am besten aus. Habe mehrere Apps verglichen. 

Eine Bitte…

Favoriten bitte nach eigener Reihenfolge und Wunsch anpassen lassen. (Nach Name und „zuletzt benutzt“ bereits möglich).

**Developer response:** Hallo TomWitten007
Danke für die super Bewertung! Es freut mich, dass Dir meine App so gut gefällt!
Manuelle Sortierung der Favoriten folgt mit Version 1.5.
Beste Grüsse,
Patrick

### 5/5 — Super Radio App

*2026-05-10*

Gefällt mir richtig gut. Auch dass man manuell Sender hinzufügen kann die nicht vorhanden sind. Tolles UI. Weiter so!

**Developer response:** Herzlichen Dank couchblogger für Dein äusserst positives Review!
Beste Grüsse,
Patrick

### 5/5 — Genial

*2026-05-02*

Ich liebe die musikerkennung aber die Darstellung des Covers ist erste Sahne

**Developer response:** Hallo AnneKarin
Herzlichen Dank für das grossartige Feedback. Auch Kritik ist willkommen - das macht Pladio nur besser. Wenn Du einen Fehler findest oder eine Feature-Wunsch hast, dann einfach hier posten: https://feedback-portal.pladio.app.
Beste Grüsse,
Patrick

### 5/5 — A Must for Live Radio Fans

*2026-04-15*

I’ve been searching for something like this for ages! It’s still a work in progress, but already fantastic and has so much promise. When I’m on long road trips, I absolutely love listening to the local nearby radio stations—not just my own playlists. The song identification is spot on (other radio station apps may not provide meta data on currently playing music), and being able to add songs from the radio to my Apple Music Library is an excellent feature. This app seems to be well implemented in CarPlay and is just as seamless as you would hope any music playing app would be during your drive. 

Some things still need work. Station artwork that is not provided and goes to default is identical so multiple stations with default artwork are not uniquely identifiable. So relying on station artwork is impossible.  There is also no played song history so you can’t go back later and add songs to Apple Music library. These are some things that I’m sure will be corrected and added in future versions as this developer seems to be very active.  

One side edge case feature I would like to see is a “follow me” automation that would switch to other nearby favorite stations as the current station goes beyond a set range, similar to old time road trips. But that is just an outlier request from a Gen Xer. 

All around this is an outstanding app for live radio fans, especially when paired with CarPlay, and definitely should be something to try out and supported.

**Developer response:** Hi Absenm

Wow — thank you so much for this thoughtful and detailed review! It genuinely made my day. I’m thrilled that Pladio has found a place in your road trips and that the song identification and CarPlay experience are working well for you.

Your constructive feedback is exactly the kind of input I love to get, and I’d really appreciate it if you’d drop future ideas on the official feedback portal so others can upvote them too: https://feedback-portal.pladio.app

A quick heads-up on what’s coming:

Pladio 1.4 is currently in beta and scheduled for release in May 2026. It brings a lot of new features — some free, some premium — but rest assured: everything that’s available in Pladio today will stay free and ad-free forever. That’s a promise.

Right after 1.4, I’ll start work on version 1.5, which will include Song History and Playlist Export — so you’ll be able to go back and add songs to your Apple Music library later, exactly as you described.

I’ve also turned your other two points into feature requests — feel free to upvote them:
- Recognizable station logos when none are provided: https://feedback-portal.pladio.app/feature-request/recognizable-station-logos-if-not-existing-in-database~6Chnc9wZ51WmfyFYEkVdao
- “Follow Me” — auto-switch to nearby favorite stations on long drives: https://feedback-portal.pladio.app/feature-request/follow-me-feature~2e2KXxjzUjc3iIqCGUePH3

The Follow-Me idea is honestly fantastic — not an outlier request at all. I’ll see what’s feasible for 1.5 or shortly after.

Thanks again for the kind words and for supporting Pladio. Enjoy the road trips!

Best regards,
Patrick

### 3/5 — Gute App mit Verbesserungspotential

*2026-03-01*

Ein paar Dinge sollten verbessert werden. Alle Streams eines Senders sollten ein Logo haben. Man sollte eigene Sender hinzufügen können. Die Recent Liste nervt in CarPlay. Sollte man optional abschalten können.

**Developer response:** Hallo sk_dakota,

Danke für Dein Feedback und dass Du Pladio nutzt!

Folgend noch ein paar Kommentare:
- Die Streams kommen aus einer öffentlichen Datenbank. Darum ist Pladio kostenlos. Die Datenbank selbst hat leider nicht für alle Streams gültige Logos. Da kann ich nichts machen. Du kannst mir aber die Radiostation aus der App heraus per Right-Swipe melden, dann füge ich ich ein Logo für die Radiostation hinzu, sollte ein Logo frei verfügbar sein.
- Du kannst bereits heute eigene Radiostationen hinzufügen: Radio > Meine.
- In Zukunft wird man die Tabs und Listen manuell sortieren und ein-/ausblenden können.

Besten Gruss,
Patrick.

### 5/5 — Super App

*2026-02-06*

Super App bis jetzt, wäre aber super wenn demnächst auch ein Widget für CarPlay kommt. Und das jeder Sender hinzufügen kann und beim CarPlay der letzte Sender im Display gezeigt wird

**Developer response:** Hallo javipolo78,

Danke für deine Top-Wertung! Seit Version 1.2 kannst Du eigene Sender hinzufügen. CarPlay Widget und Life Activities kommen mit Version 1.3.

Besten Gruss,
Patrick

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4.5 — 2026-07-12

Pladio — Release Notes 1.4.5 (2607111122)

Summary

- More reliable playback: automatic recovery after phone calls, clear messages when a stream is unavailable, and dependable starts from CarPlay, Siri Shortcuts and widgets.
- Smarter now-playing: ads and station promos no longer appear as song titles, stale or wrong song info is fixed, and cover flicker is gone.
- Gapless playback for stations that chain tracks back-to-back, including native track metadata.
- Country names are now translated into all 27 app languages.
- Updated station database with repaired Swiss (SRG SSR) streams and proper cleanup of retired stations.

New Features

- Stream failure messages: when a station cannot play (dead link, regional restriction, or a web page instead of audio), the player, Lock Screen and Apple TV now show a specific message instead of staying silent.
- Gapless Ogg/Opus playback: stations that chain tracks keep playing across every track boundary without clicks, and their native track tags (artist, title, album) drive the now-playing display.
- Localized country names: around 90 countries that previously showed only a two-letter code (Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau and more) now display proper names that follow the in-app language.
- Ad and promo filtering: ad blocks, station-ID promos and self-promo lines no longer appear as song titles — during ads the display returns to the station name and logo.
- Autostart now opens the Player screen: when Autostart resumes your last station, you land directly on what is playing.

Fixes

- A slow song recognition result can no longer overwrite the song that is actually playing, and a failed recognition no longer blanks the current song display.
- Phantom songs that were never on air no longer replace the correct now-playing info.
- The cover no longer flickers to the station logo when a station re-announces the same song with slightly different text formatting.
- iHeart/Mediabase stations now show clean song titles instead of raw technical text.
- The Play button no longer stays stuck on "Play" after switching stations while listening.
- The app no longer shows a different station (name, logo, report details) than the one actually playing.
- Playback reliably resumes after phone calls — especially in CarPlay — without needing to force-quit the app.
- Starting a station from CarPlay, Siri Shortcuts or widgets while the app is closed is more reliable, and a stuck app start can no longer hang forever.
- Fixed a launch hang that could occur after updating the app.
- Retired stations are now removed from the station list instead of lingering as dead entries.
- Settings such as local station distance and recent-station count now sync correctly across devices and no longer reset on launch.
- Finished songs no longer stay on screen for many minutes during talk breaks.
- Swiss SRG SSR stations (regional SRF programs, Radio Swiss Classic and others) play again with updated stream addresses.
- Song recognition on HLS stations works again.
- Apple Watch: syncing large favorites lists is more robust, and the watch is detected more reliably.
- Apple TV: the Settings tab strip no longer stays clipped when scrolling up, and stream errors now show a proper overlay.
- Refreshed equalizer translations in 25 languages.
- Updated bundled station database (July 8, 2026).

Refactorings

- The Settings page now clarifies that the station database details describe the bundled base database, while the station data itself is kept up to date from the cloud.

### 1.4.4 — 2026-06-09

Pladio — Release Notes 1.4.4

Summary

- Internet radio now keeps playing reliably — streams that used to fall silent after about a minute, or stall when you pressed play again, now recover automatically.
- Phone calls over Bluetooth now correctly pause your radio and resume it after you hang up.
- The "now playing" song title no longer freezes mid-session.
- Unlimited custom radio stations are now available to everyone.
- Apple TV correctly recognizes your Premium subscription, and you can now scroll lyrics with the Siri Remote.
- Refreshed radio station database with the latest stations.

New Features
- Unlimited custom stations: You can now add as many of your own radio streams as you like — the previous limit of 15 is gone for all users. Your custom stations stay synced across your devices.
- Apple TV lyrics scrolling: When lyrics are available, you can now scroll through them with the Siri Remote — swipe to move quickly, single clicks for fine control.

Fixes
- Streams staying alive: Fixed an issue where a stream could go silent after roughly a minute, or freeze instead of resuming after you stopped and started it again. Pladio now keeps playback alive and automatically reconnects after a brief network hiccup.
- Phone call handling: When a call comes in (or goes out) while you're streaming over Bluetooth in the car, the radio now stops cleanly during the call and resumes afterward. Your sleep timer is preserved across the interruption.
- Now playing no longer freezes: The displayed song title kept updating throughout the session instead of getting stuck on an old track until you restarted the stream.
- Sleep timer: Reopening the timer now shows the correct running duration (instead of always highlighting "40 min"), and the gentle 60-second fade-out is no longer lost when the stream reconnects or you switch stations.
- CarPlay widget startup: Tapping the Pladio dashboard widget right after starting the car now reliably starts playback, even when the app wasn't already running.
- Settings now save reliably: Fixed a problem where preferences like the local-station distance or number of recent stations could silently reset. Widget artwork and station icons are also handled more efficiently now.
- Apple TV Premium: Your Premium subscription is now recognized correctly on launch (no more occasional "please subscribe" screen), and "Restore Purchases" reliably restores access — including subscriptions bought on another device.
- Stations with unusual addresses: Some stations whose stream address was missing the "http" prefix wouldn't play — these now work.
- Radio browser search: Search no longer auto-corrects or auto-capitalizes what you type, so station and genre searches behave as expected.
- German equalizer label: Corrected the truncated/incomplete German text for the per-station equalizer option, and labels now wrap properly at larger text sizes.

Refactorings
- Player controls reordered: The second row of player buttons is now arranged as Favorite, Lyrics, Add to Library, AirPlay, and Menu for a more consistent layout.

### 1.4.3 — 2026-05-09

Pladio — Release Notes 1.4.3.2605081635

Summary

- Smarter song recognition that adapts to different stream metadata formats and retries quickly when the first guess doesn't match.
- macOS Local tab works again — fixed Location Services authorization so nearby stations are shown.
- AirPlay improvements on iPhone, iPad, and Mac with reliable device switching and a clearer status display.
- CarPlay no longer skips two stations at once when tapping previous/next on the steering wheel.
- Manual (custom) stations are now included when navigating through your favorites.
- Audio playback recovers smoothly after route changes between speakers, headphones, and AirPlay.
- Equalizer Preset Editor is more reliable with crash protection and a polished layout.

New Features
- Smart song recognition: A new ICY metadata normalizer handles stations with non-standard formats — empty titles, classical music with composer lifespans, and mojibake-corrupted text from European stations (e.g. "FÃ©licien DAVID" → "Félicien DAVID").
- Outcome-aware retry: When Apple Music can't match a song, fingerprint recognition triggers immediately for a faster correct identification instead of waiting.
- AirPlay status on iPhone and iPad: The Player View now shows the connected AirPlay device name, matching the Mac experience.
- macOS AirPlay handover: Selecting an AirPlay device on Mac now seamlessly switches the audio path so playback reliably follows the picker.
- Privacy-friendly location text: Updated permission messages confirm that your location stays on your device and is never sent to any server.
- Updated radio station database (May 2026 edition).

Fixes
- macOS: Local tab now correctly shows nearby stations again (Location Services authorization restored).
- CarPlay: Fixed an issue where pressing next/previous on the steering wheel would skip two stations at once.
- Player: Tapping next/previous during buffering now correctly switches the stream instead of only updating the displayed station name.
- Audio engine: When the stream stalls, the player now shows the correct paused state.
- Equalizer Preset Editor: Improved sheet handling prevents potential crashes when creating or editing presets.
- Equalizer on macOS: Layout polish — the "+" button is now in the header and stays visible during horizontal scrolling; sheet sizing improved.
- Audio routes: Switching between built-in speakers, headphones, and AirPlay now resumes playback reliably without silent output.
- iOS: The audio pipeline now recovers automatically after a system audio service reset.
- Manual stations: Custom stations now appear in favorites navigation (next/previous) on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, CarPlay, and Apple Watch.
- Apple Music authorization: Reduced repeated logging for users who have declined Apple Music access.

Refactorings
- Equalizer presets: The "Customize" option has been removed from factory presets — only user-created presets show Edit and Delete actions.

### 1.4.2.2604232235 — 2026-04-28

Pladio — Release Notes 1.4.2.2604232235

Summary
- Siri Shortcuts and widget buttons now work even when Pladio is not running in the foreground.
- Widget and Shortcut playback actions no longer pull the app to the front on iPhone, iPad, Mac or CarPlay.
- Apple Music song matching is significantly more accurate, with fewer wrong covers and artist mix-ups.
- Updated radio station database with the latest station data.
- On macOS, the main window now reliably returns when reopened and follows you to your current Space.

New Features
- Background-capable Shortcuts: "Play Station", "Play Favorite Station", "Resume Pladio", "Stop Pladio", "Toggle Pladio Playback", "Set Sleep Timer" and "Cancel Sleep Timer" can now start or change playback without bringing Pladio to the foreground.
- Instant-answer Shortcuts: "Get Favorite Stations", "What's Playing on Pladio" and "Toggle Favorite" respond immediately without having to launch the app first.
- Widget buttons for play/pause, mute and "Play Station" now wake Pladio silently in the background — your current app stays on screen, which is especially useful in CarPlay.
- Smarter Apple Music matching: artist tags like "(CH)" from DAB feeds no longer confuse the search, and a new similarity check prevents unrelated songs, covers or remasters from being shown as the current track.
- macOS: when Pladio is launched from a widget or Shortcut, it stays quietly in the menu bar instead of opening its main window.
- macOS Mini Player: the "Play" button now resumes your most recently played station even after an overnight system restart, when no current station is loaded yet.

Fixes
- Fixed Siri Shortcuts that previously required the app to be open before they would respond.
- Fixed widget and CarPlay taps occasionally yanking the iPhone to the foreground.
- Fixed Apple Music metadata showing the wrong song, artist or artwork for short or ambiguous track titles.
- Fixed the macOS main window sometimes not appearing after being reopened from the menu bar, only showing up in the Dock.
- Fixed the macOS window opening on the wrong Space — it now follows you to the Space you are currently on.
- Fixed the Settings window sometimes not opening reliably when triggered from the menu bar.
- Fixed the macOS menu-bar icon becoming unresponsive or showing the popover in the screen centre after waking from display sleep.

Refactorings
- Updated radio station database to the 2026-04-23 release with current station information.

### 1.4.1.2604211730 — 2026-04-26

Pladio — Release Notes 1.4.1.2604211730

Summary
- This is the first Pladio release that introduces PREMIUM features.
- New PREMIUM features in this version: Apple TV App, Apple Watch App, Audio Equalizer, In-App Volume Control, Sleep Timer Presets, and Station Alarm.
- New FREE features in this version: CarPlay Widgets, Dynamic Island & Live Activities, Home Screen Widgets, Quick Resume Widget, and Shortcuts support.

- Pladio now connects for the first time directly to its own cloud backend for the radio station database, with fallback to the previous local database. In the future this enables radio stations to be added, corrected, and synchronised with radio-browser.info without needing a Pladio software update — meaning much faster and more frequent updates of the station database.
- A new web manual for Pladio is available and still being developed: https://kreaniqs.gitbook.io/docs/pladio

- Shortcuts Support: Automate Pladio with Siri Shortcuts, including Play Station, Toggle Favorite, Set Sleep Timer, and Focus Filters.
- Spotlight Integration: Search for your favorite and recently played stations directly from Spotlight.

Fixes

- Expanded stream compatibility for AAC, MP3, Opus, Vorbis (OGG), HE-AAC / AAC+, xHE-AAC, HLS, and Icecast/Shoutcast streams.

- Fixed several edge cases around sleep timer behavior and stale song metadata clearing.

Refactorings
