### 4/5 — Excellent Radio app

*2025-02-04*

Except that you can't see the song title/artist.
Works great in Loopy Pro and all other hosts I have tried, but it is a huge drawback not to have info displayed!

### 5/5 — Just great

*2023-07-14*

This does exactly as advertised. A samplers dream. 
Dev is responsive and on point. 
Pair this with a sampler of your choice and go to town.

### 5/5 — Thank you!

*2023-06-14*

Awesome app! I’m sampling from radio to Logic Pro for iPad!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-05-04*

And great update. Thank you!)

### 5/5 — Excellent radio app!

*2023-04-26*

I’m not a musician so don’t use it with an AUv or anything; however, there are tons of radio stations here from all over the world!  Every genre, plus talk, that you could imagine.  I especially appreciate how we can look up the name of the song playing and the artist.  Highly recommended!

### 4/5 — iCloud sync…?

*2023-04-24*

Why isn’t that included?
Will you add it soon?

This app does solve a lot of small, albeit thorny, issues by being AUv3.

The ability to simply sync with my other devices and see the recently played stations and the discovered pieces would make this a 5star app for me.

Maybe that has already been implemented and I don’t see it?

Let us know, when you add a sync feature, please.

**Developer response:** iCloud sync works without any settings, when iCloud is turned on.

### 5/5 — Pretty amazing

*2023-02-22, version 2.2*

Just wow. Super fun and something I've wanted, live mix a radio station. Wonderful

### 5/5 — AMAZING EXPERIMENTAL 🎶| SMALL ISSUE UPDATE

### 5/5 — Amazing AUv3 Internet Radio App

*2022-11-22*

This app brings so many audio possibilities and creativity to any workflow. It allows you to live stream any internet radio station station as an AUv3 in in any host. I like to chop, glitch, stutter, loop, add fx, and then you can even record the audio from thousands of internet radio stations. Talk, sports, music, stations in any language, are streamed right into the host app. I love it. Make sure you use the direct stream link from the web radio station, not the site hosting the direct stream link. The links that have worked for me are in .m3u format. Others like .pls have not. Only one minor issue... More User Presets Please. There are some, but I can see myself wanting to save a lot of stations. Other then that, Thanks for creating an amazing app. Cheers!

Update - Thousands of new presets built in. Hooray!

### 5/5 — Best in class

*2022-11-01*

Especially after the latest update this app has become my go to for this kind of stuff (wink wink). Don’t hesitate, just get it. It is very intuitive and integrates well with all the host apps as well as working well in standalone as a radio player! Win, win!

### 5/5 — Excellent And Being Updated More

*2022-11-01*

Great little app. The latest update pushes it over the edge. The dev is looking to add more features too.

### 5/5 — Excellent, so much better than before.

*2022-10-28*

Most of the negative reviews in the past were because there were limited slots for favorite stations, or because it was hard to add stations. Now, you can add so many and doing so is so easy. 

Oh boy, and baked some kind of Shazam in it. Beepstreet you're a bad man. Thank you

### 5/5 — Great update

*2022-10-28, version 2.0*

Latest update is great. I love all the prepopulated Stations from around the world. Keep up the great work!

### 5/5 — Latest Update: From Good To Fantabulous!

*2022-10-28*

The new version of Radio Unit makes this a must-have app, not only for iOS / iPadOS musicians but for anyone who loves music. The entire world of music is but a click away, ready to stream through your car stereo or ear buds, thanks to its super friendly interface and responsive developer.

Highly recommended +++

### 5/5 — Superb at what it does

*2022-10-27*

The recent addition of the Internet radio directories opens up tons of sound possibilities that can be used within your AUV3 projects. This gem is useful in so many ways!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2022-10-27*

Plenty of presets make it easy and fun. I get more enjoyment out of listening to the hundreds of presets than bothering with searching out stations. Have already heard some great new music.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Fail

*2023-12-11*

The so-called ‘seamless Integration with GarageBand’ is not so seamless.
As in… it doesn’t work.
Neither does it work in Logic Pro.
Works in AUM but that’s not why I bought it.
So that’s £3 I’d just as well have thrown down the road.
Cheers.

### 1/5 — Cubasis 3 can’t find radio

*2021-10-20, version 1.0*

Cubasis 3 can’t find app

### 1/5 — Nope

*2021-05-01*

I just spent the last half hour searching internet radio for links I could copy and paste into this app. None of them worked. There needs to be a more direct way to find working station links. I love the idea of this app, but I dread trying to use it because it never works. I’ll more than likely uninstall it soon.

**Developer response:** You don't need to copy and paste links anymore :)

### 1/5 — Cant add stations

*2021-01-28, version 1.0*

I would give this app a 5 star rating but I’ve tried repeatedly to load radio streams into the user slots but i won’t let me and it pops up “see the developer to unlock slots”

### 2/5 — Great...but...Midi Mapping

*2025-08-03*

The last update ruined the experience to me, because of often insane loading times, connection issues, the Sadé channel frequently disconnects now (as an example. Some don’t connect at all. It was great as it was, please gove us an option to disable auto-song detection 😞

### 3/5 — Cannot remove recognized songs

*2025-10-03, version 2.6*

It’s a great feature to grab the song while it’s playing on the radio so that you can later on search for it, however, there is no way right now of deleting the song once it’s in the list, please address this.

### 3/5 — Great but no support

*2024-10-01*

Great app that seems abandonned. No support and no more ‘public domain‘ filter : a critical feature…

### 3/5 — Don’t work

*2021-02-15*

I can’t edit user slots after adding of link. And anything  my links not working. ipadOS 14.4 iPad Pro 2017. Using apps BM3, AUM

### 3/5 — Adding stations near impossible

*2021-01-11*

I can’t add streaming urls, after a failed one is entered, that slot flashes a red message and there doesn’t seem to be a way to access it after that. Other urls cannot be pasted. Fix this and I will give five stars.

### 3/5 — Good

*2021-01-10*

I like the amount of user slots compared to the other streaming radio options, but what's the point of having a radio as a DAW plugin if you can't r**ord and s**ple the feed into your DAW? Maybe it's the routing limitations of Cubasis, Audio Evolution and Audioshare, but I haven't figured out how to capture the audio using any app I've tried.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2026-02-24*

Thank you for this great app and plug-in.🙏

### 5/5 — Very Very useful

*2026-02-06*

I like to run the news and field recording streams into a variety of AU effects, and this is the operating ingredient part of that! I’d like to organize, tag, and edit stream specifications more, but it’s mostly fine!

### 5/5 — add more sations

*2025-12-24, version 1.1*

please add Golha radio and IRIB radio stations

### 5/5 — Sweet

*2025-09-25, version 1.1*

Works well on the Mac as well. The thing I love the most is when a radio song is playing you can save the info to the favourites folder should you want to buy or download it later from you fav tracker. I don’t think any other radio app does this. However, on the Mac there is no way right now to remove a favourite saved song. Please do address this issue.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2025-07-30, version 2.6*

It works with AUM, DRAMBO. It would be perfect if you added the ability to use it with CarPlay, because it is simple, compact and works well.

### 5/5 — Love it! 💛🙏🏼

*2025-07-04*

I love having a radio plugin in any music ecosystem I'm playing in. Great to have a source of random audio to play with while creating improvised soundscapes.

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2024-02-28*

This is a great app for radio and capturing sound snips/textures inside Drambo to manipulate further. I would love to see more stations as I have tried to add more myself with the url function but it doesn’t seem to work? And can we get a pitch slider within the app to slow down radio in real time……. All hail King Drambo!

### 5/5 — an endless cornucopia of sampling possibilities

*2024-02-14*

this app + koala sampler auv3 app.. and drambo to host those two. all together you have an insanely inspiring concrete sampling force of nature.  i personally love the solo flute, harp and piano stations.. along with the avant garde, experimental, modular station, drone (those are all keywords you could use to find those types of stations). not all the stations you search for will work (those just are silent) i think there’s a regional blocker going on that’s not the fault of this app. anyway, i love radio unit. way worth the price.

### 5/5 — Absolutely superb app !

*2024-01-29*

This is a must have app for music producers and anyone who loves to experiment with soundscapes ❤️
Love this app!
Great for late night ambient listening too.

### 5/5 — Funziona anche su Logic pro ipad

*2023-07-18, version 2.4*

I had mistakenly said that it didn't work instead it works
