### 2/5 — Rather use Planet Rock

*2026-08-23, version 9.28.1*

Much prefer the plant rock app to the generic Rayo! Only get the content I want and not the rest off the network..
Shame about the adverts at the start, when I pay for no adverts!

### 2/5 — No Portrait Mode

*2026-06-11, version 9.28.1*

App works fine but on an iPad it only works in Landscape mode which is a right PITA. Come on how hard is it to support auto rotation to whatever orientation the device is being held? It's like going back to the 1980s.....

After a few days I got fed up with not only App adverts but also those on the radio. Deleted app and will look elsewhere.

### 3/5 — Good Radio Station, app quite laggy

*2026-05-03, version 9.28.1*

I find this app very laggy & crashed insanely easily, and my phone is more than capable to handle it. Lets the experience down in all honesty!

### 2/5 — Station often malfunctions

*2026-04-01, version 9.28.1*

Often on Planet Rock, adverts will play over the top of music, songs will cut out halfway through. No it’s not my signal, it’s on their end!

### 2/5 — Need an account now

*2026-02-26, version 9.28.1*

Great music, too many adverts. App has always been a bit rubbish but I put up with it for the music, now I need an account to listen to what is a free to air station, why? I’m not doing it, app deleted.

### 3/5 — Add Free?

*2025-12-15, version 9.28.1*

Having to listen to the likes of Joe Elliot and Bernard Dougherty to escape adds on premium. Make me a winner no thanks

### 2/5 — Don’t want to log in

*2025-11-20, version 9.28.1*

The app used to be ok but now they want me to have an account and log in to listen! No thanks!

### 1/5 — Advert after advert

*2026-09-10, version 9.28.1*

Intrusive adverts play before anything else starts that you have to reject. Once music starts the adverts play over each other all the time. The DJs constantly plug their weekly lottery. In between this it does play rock music

### 1/5 — Fed up listener

*2026-07-08, version 9.28.1*

Get the app working

### 1/5 — No sound

*2026-07-04, version 9.28.1*

I am paying monthly but often it doesn't work WHY ?

### 1/5 — Where’s the rock

*2026-05-27, version 9.28.1*

If I wanted to listen to the Beatles I’d have tuned into a pop station

### 1/5 — Review pop ups

*2026-05-24, version 9.28.1*

Love the app. But almost every time I open it I get a review request.

### 1/5 — Opens up with advertising. WWon’t use

*2026-05-15, version 9.28.1*

Useless.

### 1/5 — What is wrong with the App?

*2025-12-07, version 9.28.1*

Cannot log on as the App just crashes???

### 1/5 — Intrusive

*2025-11-15, version 9.28.1*

Every time I get into my vehicle and my phone connects to my stereo, the radio app starts playing. This happens regardless of whether the radio app was the last thing I listened to or not. I can’t find a way to stop this. I don’t want this to happen as I find it very intrusive. Please tell me how to stop this

### 1/5 — Planet Adverts

*2025-09-28, version 9.28.1*

Should be called Planet Adverts, because there’s more adverts than rock music. Still, the adverts are better than Danny Bowes talking constant drivel in the most boring voice imaginable.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2025-06-03, version 9.28.1*

Terrible app. Logs you out for no reason. When you sign in it doesn’t recognise your password. It buffers a lot, cuts out. Needs ripping up and starting again

### 5/5 — Brilliant Rock Station

*2026-05-27, version 9.28.1*

Planet Rock is my favourite radio station. Not only does it play fantastic, varied music but there is not one presenter I do not like. They treat their audience like friends, never talk down to them, never boast and are totally accessible. Absolutely love it. Philip Clarke from Norfolk.

### 5/5 — Banging radio

*2026-05-13, version 9.28.1*

The radio station by far listened to it for over 10yrs and wouldn’t listen to anything else

*2026-01-19, version 9.28.1*

Amazing

### 5/5 — Great music, poor app

*2025-11-03, version 9.28.1*

The music is great, access to shows and other stations is very good, the app is poor, it’s rubbish to navigate around, looks like it was thrown together without much thought, still get advertising even though I pay a subscription, not the best service
