### 3/5 — Glitchy controls

*2019-12-06, version 58*

First of all let me say I truly love this app. With the latest update, however, it seems as if the fast forward/rewind controls do not work in either the lock screen or in the app itself. Would this be possible to correct? Please keep up the great job as this is the only radio app I will use!! X

### 3/5 — Great except for one thing

*2016-01-18, version 4.5.1*

Love the app especially the listen again feature. However, there is one problem. If one is listening again and takes a telephone call, the app resets itself and you are returned to live radio. Very annoying to stop and try to go back to find your place in a listen again radio show. Otherwise, a great app.

### 2/5 — Needs another update for ListenAgain

*2015-12-14, version 4.4.2*

Using Listen Again, if you pause, when you go back to continue playing, it usually crashes and goes back to start all over again. Very annoying, when one is in the middle of a three-hour show and has to use the scrubber to find that spot again. Please fix!

### 3/5 — Love Being Able To Hear Chris Moyles

*2015-11-13, version 4.3.4*

But please fix the app so that we can forward through the show when it restarts. Love Chris Moyles but not that much!!

### 3/5 — Almost great...

*2015-11-11, version 4.3.4*

Like many, I listen from the US, so love being able to listen again so that Moyles is on during my breakfast time. However, more times than not the playback restarts within 30-40 minutes. Listen Again need to be more robust, with a scrub bar. Take a lesson from the BBC iPlayer radio, it just works, really well. Great station, great DJ's, great music, but the app is still a bit wonky.

### 2/5 — Good, but 'listen again' needs work

*2015-09-29, version 4.3.4*

I live in the US, but love to listen to Chris Moyles. As I'm 5 hours behind, I have to 'listen again'. The issue is that every now and then, the show randomly restarts. There is no way to skip forward. My only option is to listen to it all again (which I obviously don't and switch to local radio).

### 4/5 — it's very nice

*2015-07-07, version 3.14.0*

I just wish it would tell you what song that is playing instead of just what little show they have on. The music selection is very good and you can change the station in settings. Very nice.

### 4/5 — App closes

*2015-04-01, version 3.13.0*

Love it but the app closes randomly and frequently.

### 2/5 — Unkind app

*2014-09-22, version 3.10.0*

I've had this app for a few years. The earlier versions worked great. This version, rubbish. Crashes. Cut-outs. If the phone is on lock screen with the app running, when I unlock the phone, the app crashes. Without fail. I'm  forced to listen to XFM on tunein.

### 3/5 — Good but needs bugs fixed.

*2012-02-12, version 2.5.2*

I am a huge fan of this app. However I often have problems with it randomly shutting off on me and I have to stop what I'm doing to go turn it back on. Hope this gets fixed with an update.

### 3/5 — It Plays But...Version 2.4.2 has no option to turn it off!

*2011-10-25, version 2.4.2*

I live in the U.S. and I like the music from this station as I'm always listening to it through vTuner on my home theater. Version 2.4.2 is the first version of this app I've used. There is no way to turn the app off, that I can see, without powering down my iPhone! And there is no artist/song information listed either. The audio is pretty good but, as I mentioned, this app needs some work.

### 5/5 — Works great for me and im in the us

*2011-04-20, version 2.4.2*

10!

### 2/5 — No AirPlay

*2011-04-15, version 2.4.2*

Would be great with AirPlay

### 1/5 — Can't log in

*2021-01-28, version 80*

Was great, but I have to log in and or create an account neither of which I can do   So goodbye and on to XS Manchester

### 1/5 — No support link

*2019-04-10, version 48*

I was wondering why the app with no downloaded shows was still taking up over 4gb of space for documents and data when the app size is listed as 61.4 mb, so I thought I’d click “App support” here on the store and all that does is take you to the website for radio x. Great station, crap app.

### 1/5 — Needs work

*2018-04-04, version 33*

As an expat I love this app. Subscribe doesn’t work though. It just sticks on subscribing.

### 1/5 — Downloads do not work

*2018-03-23, version 33*

Subscribed to a show and all the player shows is download not available

### 1/5 — Good but...

*2015-10-29, version 4.3.4*

Great app, but as mentioned above.. With listen again, if anything disrupts the show you are listening to, the show will restart. With no way to fast forward, I haven't finished listening to any show that i have started.

After a month of using this app, I have changed my opinion from 4 stars to 1. I only use this for listen again, and I have never finished a listening to a show as it restarts randomly for no apparent reason and it's impossible to fast forward. Sadly I have stopped listening to radio x and gone back to my other stations. Please fix this

### 1/5 — NO!!! Do not get!

*2013-11-03, version 3.6.1*

They only have channels for London and Manchester and you can't change the channel, so waste of my time

### 1/5 — Crashes all the time!

*2011-01-07, version 2.4.1*

Awesome station, terrible app. Fix bugs that cause constant crashing! iPod touch 4 friendly please.

### 1/5 — Horrible!!!!!!!!

*2010-12-04, version 0*

Doesn't work at all hard to search music

### 1/5 — What a bunch of nonsense

*2010-10-13, version 0*

Why don't they mention, before you install it, that you can only listen live if you live in the UK?

### 1/5 — Xfm not working on iPhone 4 os

*2010-06-28, version 0*

The xfm app won't work on the new iPhone 4 os. I'm really bummed out. Anyone know how to fix or facing the same issue?

### 5/5 — Love the App

*2019-03-02, version 44*

Love love this app and the built in functions to podcasts and other global stations. My only suggestion is stop auto play when launching the app

### 5/5 — Buttons don’t work

*2017-09-28, version 27.3*

I love this app but there is one huge problem. On listen again the pause/play button on the lock screen or control center only works once and every time after that you have to open the radio x app and it can only be paused thru the app. Frustating.

### 5/5 — Fantastic App!!

*2017-05-08, version 26*

I listen to Russell's show every Sunday on the app since I live in the US. The sound is very clear. Russell is brilliant and his show is hilarious. Great app!

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2016-12-28, version 21*

This app is awesome, don't ever miss a show with listen again. I use it everyday.  Thank you so much, Dale, Groton, New York USA

### 5/5 — Brit in the US

*2016-05-12, version 9*

Being a Brit across the pond is great however the radio stations just don't cut the mustard this app saved my ears.. Johnny Vaughan is my saviour.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2016-01-18, version 4.5.1*

App was recently updated and this fixed the bug with listen again feature

### 5/5 — Chris Moyles on demand!

*2015-10-08, version 4.3.4*

You can't play older programs from a DJ while that DJ is currently live, but once they're done you can go back and listen to any show!
Listening to Moyles' show from this morning, 8 hours later in LA-result!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2015-09-27, version 4.3.4*

For us fans from across the pond of of British rock, thank you for letting us listen to the previous shows. We an now time adjust the shows to our local time. Great app.

### 5/5 — Lock screen

*2015-09-07, version 3.14.0*

I wish they would show you song info on the lock screen.

### 5/5 — Wow, so much better!

*2012-08-23, version 3.0.1*

I tried this app a long time ago and ditched it because it didn't work. 

I just got a new car stereo that has app compatability, so I redownloaded this app to try it and was well pleased that it works great now. Even better, I can now listen to XFM in my car!
