Unlike the core app, it always shows Suggested tab at start AND channels are only sortable in numeric order (instead of personalized order). Terrible execution and ruins the experience for someone without a SXM receiver in their car - for the first time in years I will let my subscription expire because other CarPlay apps are superior and don’t annoy me. ### 4/5 — Wish the groove was more creative *2026-08-14, version 7.30.5* With all the music that’s available why do you continue to play the same thing? I have been listening for 20 years and I have seen zero creativity there’s much more potential to the station find it drayhearn@gmail ### 2/5 — Skip *2026-08-14, version 7.30.5* Interesting how you are listening to a song and then the next song starts in about 30 seconds into song ### 5/5 — Awesome App *2026-08-14, version 7.30.5* SiriusXM has everything you’re looking for. Sports, podcasts, all genres of music. It’s become a part of my daily life. ### 5/5 — Elite Sports! *2026-08-14, version 7.30.5* I only pay for SiriusXM to listen to Jeff Mans. Say it with ya chest!! ### 5/5 — Sway in the morning *2026-08-14, version 7.30.5* If it wasn’t for the Sway in the Morning show I probably wouldn’t have this app. Shout out to Sway, Heather B, Tracy G, Lani light, Torchington and John Z. They give me life ### 5/5 — Eazee Peazee *2026-08-13, version 7.30.5* 20+ years as a customer. Zero defects. Try it you’ll like it!! ### 3/5 — New channels r great! *2026-08-13, version 7.30.5* I have had SiriusXM since 2006 and love it more than ever! Take a few min to listen to the new channels, there has to be a few you will like! I feel they also do monitor what their customers say in reviews and on FB, and they react sometimes to that info with changes! My annual subscription costs have reduced as well, just wish they had bandwidth for some new DJs. ### 5/5 — Nonstop Great Music *2026-08-13, version 7.30.5* Whether you are looking for a Blast to the Great 80’s, a slow ride in the Country, or a great motivation workout song, SiriusXM has what you need! ### 4/5 — Love music *2026-08-12, version 7.30.5* Love love love it! Worth every penny! ### 5/5 — Sirius *2026-08-11, version 7.30.5* I have had Sirius since its inception. I love it. ### 2/5 — Elephantine *2026-08-11, version 7.30.5* The balls this app sux is the elephant sized ones. Randomly skips ahead in the middle of a song (many times!) can’t skip back more than once. Repeats the songs I thumbed down even though app says it won’t play it again. Limited new artists for suggestions. Left Amazon Music to try this. Will go back to that because it’s far better. ### 5/5 — SiriusXM🔥🙂‍↔️🙂‍↕️😊 *2026-08-11, version 7.30.5* I have listened to a plunder of apps, but none blind up a better mix the SiriusXM RADIO!🤣🤯🥹🥲😎🤞 ### 5/5 — Review *2026-08-10, version 7.30.5* What can you say about SiriusXM that has been said already. It is a great place to get all the music podcast sports genre. One spot to include deep covers. ### 5/5 — Love it!! *2026-08-10, version 7.30.5* The App is Perfect! I listen all day long wherever I go 🎧 ### 5/5 — Perdue *2026-08-10, version 7.30.5* Satellite radio is great, whatever my mood I always find something that fits what I want on Sirius XM. ### 5/5 — It just hits all the feels! *2026-08-10, version 7.30.5* The music is the best for all occasions! Love the playlists and the special stuff! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Slow network *2026-08-15, version 7.30.5* Get this error message in the app often. The channel will be different from time to time. At the same time all the other channels work so it must be a Sirius XM issue but can find no fix on line Update Received response with a few suggestions but still sporadically having the problem The exact error message is: Slow Network Connection Who can I speak to about resolving this? ### 1/5 — Spa channel *2026-08-11, version 7.30.5* Needs to be put back on the regular channel list. This streaming it for old people is too complicated plus in rural areas it doesn’t work. Older subscribers kept Sirus XM up and going in the early years do us a favor and make it easy and simple to enjoy simple beautiful music PLEASE ### 1/5 — 20 years *2026-08-10, version 7.30.5* Overpriced. Done ### 1/5 — App FAILS if you’re Mobile *2026-08-08, version 7.30.5* App is good if you DONT MOVE with your mobile phone. App can’t survive switching network sources. App grows more unstable the longer you listen. App doesn’t stop even after using the STOP controls. App has been broken for 6-12 months with no hope for repair. ### 1/5 — Songs don’t play from beginning, makes phone hot drains battery pls fix *2026-08-06, version 7.30.5* Songs don’t play from beginning, makes phone hot drains battery pls fix ### 1/5 — Drop Kars 4 Kids *2026-08-05, version 7.30.5* Worst damn noise I’ve ever freaking heard. Turn app off everytime damn jingle comes on. ### 1/5 — Broke accessibility for those of us voiceover users to access settings in the app *2026-08-05, version 7.30.5* This app used to be nice and I’ve been using it for years, but I’m a blind user who use voiceover and now when I go to Settings it’s just a bunch of buttons and we can’t navigate anything there. ### 1/5 — Pure garbage *2026-08-05, version 7.30.0* With the new update, SiriusXM removed the skip button on its on demand stations. They’ve also eliminated the feature that allows you to rewind to earlier parts of the show that is currently on a station. Less features, same price. Kind of like Howard Stern doing the same to them, less days broadcasting, same bloated paycheck. ### 1/5 — Looked forward to app *2026-08-03, version 7.30.0* Recently signed up for SiriusXM for my car. Then i found out there was an app, but my login does not work. I even retrieved my login successfully but it doesnt work. No way to contact support on the app or # to call… ### 1/5 — App doesn't work *2026-08-03, version 7.30.0* The app used to work listening to music just fine. Randomly I can't get past the login screen on the app. Support folks couldn't figure it out so they closed the ticket ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-08-16, version 7.30.5* The music is always what you want… ### 5/5 — For music lovers *2026-08-15, version 7.30.5* I listen to Sirius XM at least 12 hours a day. In my home, in my car and with my earplugs while shopping. I especially listen to The Blend, that’s my favorite. When the Christmas season starts, it’s hard to decide which station to listen to. Thanks for the great music to help with my daily routine go smoother. ### 5/5 — Life with John Mayer has restored my love of music *2026-08-15, version 7.30.5* Great stations especially channel 4. My kiddos and I love listening to John’s selection and I can listen all day ### 5/5 — Hard to live without *2026-08-15, version 7.30.5* It’s a lifesaver when you really need something to get you going. It could be better yes. But nothing can beat it. It’s the medicine I need every day, rock on. ### 5/5 — Muzic *2026-08-15, version 7.30.5* Best place to get all of your muzic definitely worth it. At the gym, home, traveling. SiriusXM the best. ### 5/5 — Life with John Mayer *2026-08-14, version 7.30.5* I love this channel so much.
