### 4/5 — Great Radio App

*2026-07-26*

Love it!  Great customization options and I dig the UI! Only wish I could re-order the station list, and turn off the auto-art that is sometimes matched to the streams and displays during playback instead of what I’ve set.

### 5/5 — Лучшее приложение для своих радио!

*2026-03-30*

Лучшая трата 99₽, можно добавлять свои радио и интеграция суперская!!!

### 4/5 — Some tweets

*2024-11-03*

### 5/5 — Best radio app ever

*2024-06-25*

At first I wouldn’t believe it, I love technology because of such things, really great music application

### 5/5 — Full Screen Player

*2024-03-13*

Love It!!  The only suggestion I have is that you make it lighter and clearer.  Just a bit dark.

**Developer response:** Hi TCShaffer, absolutely, we can make the full-screen player interface a bit lighter. Please stay tuned for updates, and thank you for your feedback.

### 5/5 — Playlist

*2024-02-27*

The playlist after adding radio stations is still not saving after the app is closed

**Developer response:** Hello TCShaffer,
Thank you for your comment and for bringing this to our attention. The latest version of the app addresses this issue, ensuring that the playlist is saved when the app is closed, unless stations are deleted intentionally. Thank you once again for your feedback.

### 5/5 — Full screen

*2024-02-24*

Also, it would be a nice enhancement to add a full screen option to the player.

**Developer response:** Hello TCShaffer,
Thank you for your comment and suggestion. We agree that adding a full-screen option to the player is a great idea. Currently, our app features a large player on the first tab. We will let our UX/UI design team review this suggestion to make an informed decision on the design. While it is possible to implement a full-screen audio player, our team is currently focusing on refining the overall app design. Once our team decides to incorporate a full-screen player, we will update the app accordingly. Please note that the app functions as described and displayed in its metadata. We already offer a larger audio player on the very first tab. We appreciate your thoughts and ideas and look forward to updating you once a decision is made by our team.

### 4/5 — Saved Playlists

*2024-02-18*

The app is awesome!  The only thing is that after you create your playlist of stations, and you go to close out the app when you are done for the time being.  Then you go back to the app your play list gone
