User reviews

New update

New update it’s terrible it’s lost a lot of things that made it very easy to use, also it keeps stopping after 10-30mins playing some days it’ll stop after just two songs played.

Great app but be aware

App works very well and I’m happy with the experience with listening to the radio.
However, be aware that when putting your phone number down for competitions, it will find its way onto scammers call lists

Good but not great.

If you use this as just a phone app, it’s okay. Bit slow but gets the job done. If you intent to use this to listen to your podcasts via Apple CarPlay, it’s a whole different kettle of fish. The app doesn’t remember where you got to in any given episode so you have to start from the beginning every time. And the worst part, if you listen or reply to a text (again through CarPlay) the app doesn’t pause your episode, it closes it. So you then have to go through the process of picking it on your infotainment system again, which is very very slow. It will even play the episode with no sound at times!

So the app does a job, Apple CarPlay is non existent. If this is what you want it for, use another app.

Still hasn’t been fixed months later

The app crashes when I select I podcast and updates keep coming saying bugs fixed but obviously it’s not a bug that I can’t play podcasts in an app that has podcasts in its name

ONLY APP IN THE WORLD THAT WILL NOT ROTATE

You still expect us to manually rotate our ipads to use this stupid app. Means I can’t charge it when I’m using it on its stand. AND I USE IT IN PORTRAIT VIEW!! WHY IS YOURS THE ONLY APP IN THE WORLD THAT WILL NOT ROTATE ON THE SCREEN??!!!!!!!
Developers are either lazy or totally incompetent.
