Finally an app watch when iPhone is away and no WiFi *2026-01-22, version 2026.01* Fully independent of phone!!! ✅✅✅ ### 5/5 — Recensione *2026-01-12, version 2025.11* Funziona come descritta, peccato che non ha la lingua italiana ### 5/5 — Excellent *2025-12-31, version 2025.11* This app is far above many of the app’s available for purchase. - feel free to IM me - I am not associated with the developer - and I’ll give you the true app story! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2025-12-14, version 2025.11* Finally, an independent watch radio app. At first, I had some issue finding my favorite stations. After contacting the developer, and getting help, I was able to find my 15 favorite streaming stations. After doing some research I came across this website, fmstream.org, where I was able to find all the streaming links for my stations. ### 5/5 — Best radio app ever *2025-11-28, version 2025.11* I haven't found a better app than this. ### 5/5 — 너무 좋습니다. *2025-11-14* cs 응답도 잘해주세요. 잘 사용하겠습니다. 감사합니다. ### 4/5 — Not Working Ultra 3 *2025-11-09, version 2025.11* Love the app with my previous Apple Watch. But it is not working on Apple Watch Ultra 3. ### 5/5 — Does it work with ios26? *2025-10-28* Basically all good. But no connection since I updated to iOS26. Is this a bug? How to fix it? **Developer response:** Hi. It does work with watchOS/iOS26. Please email me on support email to diagnose :-) ### 5/5 — Brilliant App *2025-10-03, version 2025.03* Great for radio 4. Clean interface with no unnecessary complications. Just brilliant. ### 3/5 — Doesnt work on Ultra 3? *2025-09-22, version 2025.03* Loved this app on my Ultra 2, but just upgraded and it doesnt seem to be available for my new watch. If this is a compatibility issue I hope its resolved soon ### 5/5 — BBC Radio on your watch *2025-07-13, version 2025.03* A great little app that does what it promises, lets you listen to streaming radio on your Apple watch. Leave your phone at home on runs. In UK it works with BBC Radio stations. You will need a Cellular Watch with SIM or WiFi to stream without your phone. Very good value too. Thanks ### 5/5 — BBC 5 live sport extra *2025-06-29, version 2025.03* This app is mostly brilliant and I’m delighted it exists, however I can’t seem to find the streamlet for BBC 5 live sport extra or any of the other 5 live sport extra channels. Could someone point me in the right direction, or if they really aren’t supported, could they please be added? Many thanks ### 5/5 — Perfect *2025-06-21, version 2025.03* I am very satisfied.the best app ### 5/5 — Amazing application *2025-06-19* Please keep supporting the application with new features. This is the best you can get for the Apple Watch. ### 5/5 — Finally! *2025-06-08, version 2025.03* Thank you Streamlets for keeping innovation alive!! The stand-alone watch community stands with you! How can we continue to make this app great by adding an add your URL feature? Would only make it better. Blessings! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Could be Fantastic but *2026-05-18, version 2026.04* Hardly ever actually starts playing ### 1/5 — Suuuuper! Aber Symbol fehlt *2025-12-13* Eine der besten Apps für die Apfel-Uhr. Radio hören, auch wenn man gerade die Wohnung putzt und dauernd das Zimmer wechselt. Lautstärke lässt sich bequem über die Krone der Uhr verstellen, Lieblingssender lassen sich einfachst speichern. Leider wird seit dem WatchOS-Update vom 12.12.25 das App-Symbol nicht mehr auf dem Zifferblatt angezeigt **Developer response:** 🙏🏻 🙏🏻 ### 1/5 — Valchev *2025-05-11, version 2025.03* App can’t download att all, probably froud. ### 1/5 — Disappeared *2025-01-19, version 2.0.2* I loved this app. It was perfect company for me; a part-time insomniac. Then suddenly one day it disappeared from my watch. The option to purchase it again isn’t available in the store. I would so love to get my Streamlets back. ### 1/5 — Drains the battery *2024-08-23* The app works, but when I use Streamlets, my Apple Watch is out of power within 1 hour. Please fix this. **Developer response:** Streamlets uses Apple’s audio frameworks and therefore runs as optimal as Apple allows. Please note that mileage will vary on battery life depending on factors such as, battery health, age and size and whether you’re using cellular, wifi or bluetooth tethering to stream to the watch. ### 1/5 — Can’t get it to work. *2024-03-11, version 2.0.2* I downloaded the app and clicked to download stations from the USA, but it froze up and nothing happened. I waited 30 minutes and it still says loading. Waste of time and money. ### 1/5 — Unica *2023-01-29, version 1.9* Riesco a sentire quasi tutte le radio italiane su AW senza portare l’iPhone dietro! ### 2/5 — Can’t listen to this app on my Ultra 1 anymore ☹️ *2026-02-27, version 2026.03.2* What Happened!! ### 2/5 — ikona *2025-12-28, version 2025.11* nie można ustawić ikony na ekranie głównym watch OS 26.2 AWU2 ### 2/5 — Deleted Purchased grayed out *2024-01-05, version 2.0.2* I deleted and tried to redownload this app but it says Purchased in gray. How do I get it back? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Breathed new life in my old Apple Watch *2026-06-14, version 2026.06* Perfect! I love that I can listen to audio with my Apple Watch 7’s speaker. So many stations available and the popular list already has everything I need. Smooth Jazz, 80s, NPR, CNN, etc. It’s literally the most fun I’ve had with my Apple Watch. I just used it today while doing laundry, it’s so nice to be able to listen to something without bothering my roommate or having to wear AirPods. And the sound is good, loud enough where I usually only keep the volume halfway. My favorite genre, Smooth Jazz, sounds amazing on it. I love that it’s unlocked this capability that’s normally only available on the newer Apple Watch Models. I have no reason to upgrade now :) ### 5/5 — amazing *2026-04-05, version 2026.04* This is what every radio app for the Apple Watch should be. It's been exciting over time to watch Mr Carmody add features that nobody else has. ### 5/5 — Fantastic. *2026-03-27, version 2026.04* Great app. Turns the Apple Watch into a standalone radio player. No need to use Apple Music for this. It will play over WiFi or if you have a Cellular Watch. Brilliant stuff. ### 5/5 — Best Watch Radio App *2026-03-25* Umfangreiche Senderliste, Top-Kundenservice, Toller Klang ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-03-16* Exactly what I was looking for. Highly recommended! ### 5/5 — Excellent update *2026-02-27, version 2026.03.2* Thanks for the bug fixes! Everything works perfectly. What a great radio player. Good job. ### 5/5 — Optimal beim Sport *2026-02-19* ich höre viel DI.FM und bin sehr genervt das die es nicht schaffen eine Watch App zu bauen. Streamlets löst mein Problem, beim Krafttraining immer das Smartphone rumschleppen zu müssen. In Kombination mit Gymbook auf der Uhr ist das ganz hervorragend. Einzig ein wenig mehr Kompatibilität zu DI.FM wäre klasse, aber hey, der Entwickler muss hier irgendwie alle einfangen. Nützliche Features werden regelmäßig ergänzt. Somit bleibt es spannend was noch kommt. Danke für die Idee und Arbeit. **Developer response:** 🙏 🙏 🙏 ### 5/5 — Beste Radio App für die Watch *2026-02-13* Ich habe so viele Apps getestet aber Streamlets war die einzige die für meine Bedürfnisse infrage kommt. Sie ist spottbillig, funktioniert ohne iPhone, kein Abo erforderlich, keine Werbung, läuft zuverlässig über eSIM, lässt sich als Komplikation hinzufügen und speichert Favoriten übersichtlich ab. Juhuu. Alles was mir fehlt ist die Anzeige des Icons der App wenn man sie als Komplikation hinzufügt. Aber das ist eine Kleinigkeit. Update: Das Icon der App als Komplikation ist jetzt ebenfalls da. Super! **Developer response:** 🙏 🙏 🙏 ### 5/5 — Pretty cool! *2026-01-29, version 2026.01* Works without any issues on my watch. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Adoro *2026-01-24, version 2026.01* 🙂 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
