Great App but buggy login
Love this app and its ability to listen to all the different artists. But the app keeps logging me out every few minutes. Can’t properly save the show and artist I’m listening to.
Everything was sick
Had to update my review as native controls are broken again. It’s really frustrating, makes it very annoying to use. Hope it gets fixes again.
Original review
Really happy that the audio player now supports native controls. I can finally play and pause from my headphones! Properly delighted. I’ll be using the app a whole load more from now on.
If you could add carplay support too I’l give you 6 stars 😉
Big ups

My favorite radio stations but too much battery drain
Even while running in background
I want to love it
First off, thank you for making this available and sharing top level music from amazing artists.
Bit of feedback on the iOS app in case it helps:
The audio player is not properly hooked to iOS so it has several limitations. Here are a few examples, which are mostly connected to each other:
No audio player controls available on standby screen (play/paise or scrub).
You’re listening to downloaded mixes. Phone rings, you answer, and when you’re done, playback doesn’t resume. Lack of player controls means you have to unlock phone to resume.
That experience worsens when driving, as you can’t unlock phone while driving and have no way to resume playback either via CarPlay or via the lock screen of the phone.
Finally, if you start playback before driving and while driving you decide to change to Apple Music, the Rinse app doesn’t stop playback when Apple Music is started, so you can hear two audio sources at the same time.

No jump forward or jump back buttons during playback
I’ve had this app for more than 3 years and there was an update just 2 weeks ago yet there still aren’t 30 second jump forward/15 second jump back buttons.
Due to travel to remote areas and not having data access I will download files.
I’ll then connect the app to CarPlay and play my downloads.
In the year 2026 why can’t I jump in 15 or 30 second increments where every other music app has this option?
I did not give it a 1 star because we have the ability to download (when it works).

Good music bad functionality
Love the stations and music, but the app doesn’t function well with native music controls and headphone play/pause functions
Awesome ish
Love it but when I try and pause it from my AirPods it doesn’t work. Shame the integration isn’t quite there.
Give us a widget!
I love Rinse! Sometimes the play/pause gets messed up and the audio stops, and I have to reboot the app. Hoping we get a widget soon!
#1 radio app
Straight up the sickest radio stations on Earth! Much Love

Flawless Amazing Perfection
This is maybe the best radio/music app ever based on how much pure music is available free from the best radio station for these types of genres nothing in the world comes close the app has never crashed you can download free they’ve added shop now too so you can support this I can’t stress how important this app is and you should all get it and massive respect to all Rinse Kool owners and app developers for this and now since the November 2025 update it’s ever better the skip forward feature fixed all previous issues

Music five stars, app rubbish
The app never remembers my position in a show, appears to have no AirPlay button, and regardless of how much I listen nothing shows up in my history
Some basics that don’t work
I love the station, the app “works” when I play something for a bit. That’s great. But it needs to be able to have native controls for pause/volume, and it needs to not lose my place when I leave and comeback to a show. Otherwise I generally won’t use it hence 2* for the product) And I want to download in app. Probably been spoiled with (not great but very slick) other apps from national broadcasters with hundreds of developers, but I hope these things can be added/fixed!

Amazing radio, poor app
The good news is that the music on offer is incredible. So, so happy I came across this - they have an epic selection of music that touches on everything from jazz to far out electronica. The issue is the app. You can’t download anything (presumably a bug at the moment), which means you can’t listen on the tube/anywhere offline. If you listen back to a show, you can’t pause it and pick up again where you where you left off - it restarts the show. You also can’t search by music genre - that’s only available on the website. Overall, I’d say it’s a better experience when listening via the website, so do that.

Slow, broken and unresponsive
The music is the only saving grace with this app, playback is slow and unresponsive regardless of data or connection. It will sometimes take the app 2 minutes just to start playing and the download function is aspirational at best.
Not working
All that works is the shop since last update.
Love Rinse but app no longer works in background
Love everything about this app and music except for the fact that it cuts the audio off when you lock the screen. App isn’t listed in “Background App Refresh” menu so there is no way to fix it until the developers add this in.
Wicked app
Airplay. Pls❤️❤️❤️
Functional, but needs fixing / updating
Currently, the schedule tab is broken for Kool, showing no upcoming shows or who is on air.
We are also supposed to be able to replay shows from the week, but most shows (at least for Kool) are unavailable. Not sure if this is a fault the the app or something else, but it needs to be looked at as the option is pretty much useless at present.
Al of these things were working in the past
