### 5/5 — Beautiful, Relaxing Ambient Minimalist Radio

*2026-03-16*

This is instantly enjoyable, with zero setup time. Thank you for making this.

### 2/5 — I like the idea; but, …

*2025-08-01*

The UI on this app is horrible!  The user has no visible hint of the controls, the center dial is totally unreadable, the slots require URLs which the user must search for, and the sound on/off switch is not even marked.

I am surprised that this app is even in the App Store because of its user unfriendly controls.

It is sad.  This could be so much more than it is.

### 5/5 — i love it so much

*2024-05-06*

please update app

### 5/5 — Still waiting to hear a song I don’t like

*2023-11-01*

I absolutely love everything that plays on this app. You can dig and find out what the titles are but the experience is much different when you let go of that. It’s like visiting a place you’ve never been and exploring another world. It’s more cinematic and adventurous to let it narrate what you’re doing. Perfect for when you’re working on a project or studying.

### 5/5 — Разработчики красавчики 😍

*2022-01-30*

Аудиальный оргазм 😌🌈

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2021-10-12*

Should be removed from the App Store.

### 1/5 — This app does not belong here

*2020-11-21*

This app is not really compatible with the US radio streams. It is playing the European ones just fine. But unless you are tying this directly to a site with the MP3’s streaming or the other files it says it plays streaming, it will be worthless to you.

There are instructions online if you click on the app support button below the rating area. There are, like the app, minimalist instructions. Easy enough to follow by replacing the "http://" with "radio://" in safari but then the app opens and just starts flashing at the top of the screen until it fails to connect completely.

don't waste your money if you are in the US trying to listen to radio. it doesn't work and the dev doesn't seem to care given how long ago this was updated. this app should be removed from the US app store for it isn't working as intended. i am reporting this to Apple for a refund since there isn't any warning that this won't work and there isn't any clearer instruction to go on to make it work in safari or other apps. tried those links too. 

good luck.
buyer beware.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2020-08-24*

An absolute waste of time. Get Streemur instead.

### 5/5 — Just wanted to say thank you

*2019-12-19*

Good app for radio

### 1/5 — No directions on it’s use.

*2019-09-06*

I can’t find any instructions on this app’s use.
