It takes 3 minutes just to get to the screen to play the radio station I want! It’s too bad because it was a great app! ### 2/5 — Crashes *2026-07-05, version 3.0.0* It would be great if the app didn’t randomly turn off and have to keep reloading it...... ### 1/5 — Pop up ads *2026-06-18, version 3.0.0* Some pop up ads will not close on the first 3 or 4 tries. They just lead to different ad pages. Frustrating enough to just close the app altogether and pick a different app ### 3/5 — Great but… *2026-06-18, version 3.0.0* Love this app but ad removal is a pain. ### 1/5 — Keep Closing frequently in between songs, so many bugs *2026-06-17, version 3.0.0* Keep Closing frequently in between songs, so many bugs ### 3/5 — Great Access to Canadian Radio *2026-06-17, version 3.0.0* I like the Radio Canada: Live app but not the the in app purchase adds ### 1/5 — Ads are awful *2026-06-17, version 3.0.0* 👎 ### 4/5 — Too many ads now upon opening app *2026-06-17, version 3.0.0* I really dont like how this new updat includes too many noisey ads which take too long to get through. A small pet peeve of mine but app works great otherwise. ### 1/5 — PLEASE UPDATE APP!!! *2026-06-07, version 2.6.2* APP NEEDS UPDATES ASAP!!! ONGOING ISSUES & NO UPDATES AT ALL. APP CRASHES AFTER A FEW SECONDS. PLEASE FIX 🙏🏻 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — These bell direct as suck *2026-08-15* One of the reasons I subscribed to this music channel was because of the lack of ads. Now, when I opened it, I’m inundated with be direct ads that I don’t want, their product or these ads. ### 1/5 — Publicité abusive *2026-07-24* Affichage publicitaire à chaque changement de station et souvent impossible à éliminer de l’écran ### 1/5 — Overwhelmed by ads *2026-07-21* When I open this ad, I’ve got about a second to click the station. I wanna hear before ads cover the screen. About 70% of the time the ads occupy the screen in such a way that you can’t close them.. So if you want to change channels, you have to close the app entirely open it again and hope you can choose the channel you want to listen to. Before the ads lock onto your screen. Also getting tired of having ads for gambling sites shoved down my throat. ### 1/5 — Glitchy *2026-07-20* When I open other apps the music stops until I come back and press play ### 1/5 — Nothing but ads *2026-07-09* Borderline pointless unless you want to spend your day skipping ads. ### 1/5 — Ads,ads,ads *2026-07-02, version 3.0.0* Non-stop ads since update, eventually you get to choose radio stood and again more ads. What’s the point of putting an x and when clicked it goes to next ad. Used to be bearable. Now it’s garbage. Got rid of it . I can’t even see my review under recents. I downloaded iheart radio. 👍 ### 1/5 — Ads Ads Ads *2026-07-02, version 3.0.0* This app lasted no more than two minutes on my phone before being deleted. Nothing but ads. Horrible. ### 1/5 — Overseas *2026-07-01* No access to Chez 106.1 overseas ??? ### 1/5 — Full of spam *2026-06-29, version 3.0.0* Constant spam and adds that screw up your tablet ### 1/5 — Can’t turn off the adv. *2026-06-28, version 3.0.0* Works well until the adv. showed up. No way to shut off the adv. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — CFAR *2026-07-21* Loving it from afar CFAR ### 5/5 — Essentiel! *2026-07-06* Diffuseur public essentiel, même si vous ne dites pas tout. ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2026-06-26, version 3.0.0* Ease to use and free. ### 5/5 — Easy listing *2026-06-23, version 3.0.0* Is clear and no problem to connect to my favourite programming ### 5/5 — Aide *2026-06-23, version 3.0.0* J’aime beaucoup car je peux pratiquer mon anglais tout en étant bien divertis par la bonne musique et les animateurs sont drôles. ### 5/5 — Extensive list of stations and podcasts *2026-06-19, version 3.0.0* Nicely categorised list of stations for easy switching and seamless listening experience to access varied infotainment from diverse backgrounds ### 5/5 — Good *2026-06-17, version 3.0.0* Very good ### 5/5 — Please thank you j hard eyes *2026-06-17, version 3.0.0* Make dark mode.
