### 1/5 — So slow to load

*2026-08-22, version 8.8.0*

Used to be a good app but now takes ages to load

### 5/5 — Just radio, no extra ads

*2026-08-02, version 8.8.0*

If you just want to “tune in” to your favourite radio station, this is the app. No extra ads, just the ones broadcast by your station

### 3/5 — Language

*2026-07-30, version 8.8.0*

With the latest update, I get the startup commercials in French. I am in Alberta and am not fluent in French. Can this be resolved?

### 2/5 — Bug Ridden, Fiddly and Poor Support

*2026-06-27, version 8.7.1*

This used to be my goto radio player, especially in the car with CarPlay.

But over the last couple of years this has become a poor quality app, with a lack of attentiveness from their developers to fix some fairly obvious bugs.

Removal of the BBC stations was the first nail in the app’s demise, which I understand was down to their partners at the BBC wanting to keep everything in Sounds, but immediately took away serveral
Of the stations I want to listen to in the car.

Using app’s sleep timer is fiddly and requires way too many key presses.  

About a year ago the app showed my stored favourites on Car Play with the wrong station icons.  I reported this via their website and they ignored it and have not fixed it despite many “bug fixes”.

Now the app appears to use a lot more data than it used to, who knows why.   

Thankfully the stations I listen to the most now have their own Car Play compatible apps, so Radio Player is getting less and less use right now.  

No idea who is writing this app, but they clearly have no interest in listening to users

### 1/5 — Where are all the stations?

*2026-06-19, version 8.7.1*

I used Radio Player all the time a few years ago and there were lots of local stations. Now there are hardly any. I’m switching to listening to individual stations.

### 2/5 — Needs better programming

*2026-06-06, version 8.7.1*

It’s probably okay if you’re just sitting still and listening but I work in a warehouse that has several wifi points and every time the wifi does a handoff the app goes, “hey a new listener, let’s play a commercial, then the local radio station I’m listening to goes “hey a new listener, let’s play a commercial”. I then turn around and go back the way I came, ‘wifi handoff’, new commercial, then another local commercial. Oops forgot something, run up to office, “handoff”, commercial, run back down, “handoff”, commercial, go to far end, “handoff”… You get the idea. There have been times where I’ve heard only one song, and parts of others for an hour if I’m running around.  
How hard is it to program the app to recognize my device to the fact it was just connected seconds ago?

### 1/5 — Massively data hungry

*2026-05-30, version 8.7.1*

Used this app for over 10 years, then suddenly it’s started using huge amounts of data to stream (600MB+ an hour) making it completely unusable for my needs.

### 5/5 — Au top

*2026-05-22*

De loin la meilleure et la seule application qui me permet d’utiliser une liste de favoris avec mon scooter et aussi compatible avec les raccourcis iPhone !

**Developer response:** Merci beaucoup pour votre retour ! Ravi que l’application vous plaise. Bonne écoute sur Radioplayer !

### 2/5 — To many Adverts

*2026-05-11, version 8.7.1*

Used to be the go to app, now you spend so much time listening to adverts instead of the radio

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2026-05-05, version 8.7.1*

Nothing but advertising
