### 5/5 — What a delightful experience …

*2026-06-30, version 3.0.0*

Can listed to South African radio wherever I am in the world. Keep it up

### 5/5 — Advertising

*2026-06-11, version 3.0.0*

I love listening to Radio South Africa since I live in Canada and it keeps me abreast of what’s happening back home. The advertisements through. They drive me to tears and totally spoil the experience 😢

### 5/5 — Lynn

### 5/5 — Great radio station from SA to the World ❤️❤️

*2025-11-17*

Greetings from Germany love your vibezzz

### 5/5 — Relocated SA citizen

*2025-11-07, version 2.6.2*

I relocated to the US in 2023 from Cpt Gugulethu. Now travelling Europe but I get homesick so this app helps a lot when I can’t reach my mom due to time difference

### 5/5 — Many nice stations, good sound

*2025-10-08*

So much good music from dear South Africa. Friendly ui. Sharp!

### 1/5 — So much spam

*2025-08-26*

Extremely invasive advertising
EDIT IN RESPONSE TO DEVELOPPER COMMENT: 
Adverts are not able to be closed as often there is no button to close the ad. 
When the x button does exist, clicking it opens a link through to the advertisers website which is manipulative and deceptive.
Often the advert forces the user to play through a literal game before being able to close the ad. It is beyond abusive.

**Developer response:** Dear user,
Thanks for your feedback.
In order to make our app available for free we must have ads, however we have an in-app version for those who do not want to have ads.
Cheers,
Support team

### 5/5 — Semi

### 1/5 — Does work

*2025-01-30, version 2.6.2*

Very trash apps and too many ads
