What if people don’t like your app, & they decide to un subscribe to the app!! I don’t see the point in joining up 1st to look through your app or any app for that matter!! Hmm. Why bother to sign in 1st!! I don’t understand that at all.. people should look around the app first, b4 they decide to join up in the first place!! Hmm! ### 3/5 — Ads…ads….more ads *2026-06-10, version 3.25.1* Too many ads…every time I receive a call or msg or anything when it restarts ads ### 4/5 — Excellent *2026-06-01, version 3.25.1* Excellent, love it but it cuts out and reconnects a lot. ### 2/5 — Wired Carplay *2026-05-30, version 3.25.1* Can be glitchy while using wired carplay. App doesn’t load all of the time. ### 2/5 — Frustrated *2026-05-14, version 3.25.0* The ads that takeover the broadcast are frustrating, it is the reason I removed the 3AW app and now it has invaded this app. Just broadcast what the station puts to air. ### 4/5 — Greg *2026-04-15, version 3.25.0* Only problem is it drops out a lot. ### 2/5 — Slow to open *2026-04-04, version 3.25.0* I use this app solely via CarPlay. I don’t know if it’s the cause of its slow performance but it takes up to two minutes to open. Plus, the favorites list is hidden from view. I wish that favorites was first up, or at least the last streamed radio station was. And what’s annoying is that when you do connect to a radio station it plays an advertisement or two before starting the live stream. I’m told that it’s the radio station which does it. In my case it’s Melbourne talk radio 3AW. Surely they have enough ads playing live as it is. Pity that Radio App can’t block this. ### 4/5 — App is behaving like lock screen *2026-04-02, version 3.24* All of a sudden the app has taken over as lock screen and i need to use my passcode to undo. It’s very annoying. I want the app in the background where it was, not locking my phone up full screen. ### 3/5 — CarPlay stopped working *2026-03-26, version 3.24* After a recent iOS update on iPhone. The app won’t play in the car on CarPlay head unit ### 4/5 — Solid App *2026-03-07, version 3.24* The app is actually quite decent for the most part. It has good looks, relatively easy to configure, no adds obstructing anything, and offers good listening of various stations. The only issue I have is that the recently revised platform is less intuitive. There is an extra step in selecting and playing a favourite station which is somewhat annoying. I would still recommend. ### 1/5 — Disorganised *2026-02-17, version 3.21.0* Have to search for the station I listen to every time I get in the car. Why can’t it revert to what you had on? Search always comes up with stations “near me” which I don’t want to listen too. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Need to get email to verify but didn’t arrive *2026-08-17, version 3.28* As per the title. Hopeless app. ### 1/5 — Slow to Load *2026-08-03, version 3.28* I use it mostly in CarPlay mode. Slow to load, the main screen doesn’t show my favourite station. No options to change it. The main screen would be more useful if it displayed last used radio stations, not pushing suggestions for content that I have no interest in. Come back Tune-In Radio Pro. All is forgiven. Oh, and when you open a station it plays ads before it commences a stream. Most annoying when you fire it up to catch the latest news bulletin and you miss the headline news items. ### 1/5 — no Apple Sign in *2026-07-12, version 3.25.1* making sign in easier with Apple or Google sign in ### 1/5 — Not working well *2026-06-27, version 3.25.1* How do I remove RadioApp stations i don’t like from the recents It’s so frustrating, the previous version of RadioApp was so much better ### 1/5 — Poor *2026-06-22, version 3.25.1* Poor ### 1/5 — Didn’t have the station I was after *2026-06-12, version 3.25.1* The app works fine and is easy to use. I wanted the app for a particular station and it doesn’t have it . So the app doesn’t work for me ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work to cast *2026-05-18, version 3.25.0* I am unable to play google home speakers and can’t see how to cast to them either. ### 1/5 — No connection *2026-03-01, version 3.21.0* Since the change of interface the app won’t open , I have to delete the app and reinstall almost every time I want to use it ### 1/5 — Sign up *2026-02-27, version 3.21.0* Why do I need to sign up and verify my account with an email? Do we really trust a radio app with our data when the government can’t keep it safe? Verification email doesn’t get sent so can’t even look. At the app ### 1/5 — Gone from best to worst. *2026-02-19, version 3.21.0* Used to be user friendly. Now it is difficult to move from, eg, earphones to speaker, to car etc. Most annoying. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great new option *2026-07-24, version 3.25.1* Well done 6IX with options for 60 70 music without the mindless chatter 😎👍 ### 5/5 — Good radio app *2026-07-01, version 3.25.1* Just got it looks sounds great ### 5/5 — Awesome App *2026-06-20, version 3.25.1* Best radio app you can find ### 5/5 — Great *2026-06-01, version 3.25.1* Excellent ### 5/5 — Review *2026-05-09, version 3.25.0* I love the radio so much, it’s so cool ### 5/5 — Good *2026-03-07, version 3.24* Good ### 5/5 — Best radio app *2026-03-01, version 3.21.0* Use it every day ### 5/5 — Mr *2026-02-25, version 3.21.0* Great listening ### 5/5 — It’s great *2026-01-25, version 3.21.0* It provides a range of radio stations and the stations themselves are really amazing ### 5/5 — YEEEEESSSSS *2026-01-24, version 3.21.0* Really good app l really recommend this amazing --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
