### 4/5 — Love the App but...

*2026-06-25, version 2.2.3*

I truly love this app and would easily give it 5 stars but I can't seem to figure out the notifications. It's asking me to enable them but I can't find Subsonic Radio in my list under Notifications. What gives? What am I missing?

### 5/5 — More Magical Than Ever!!!

*2026-04-09, version 2.2.1*

Adding requests INSIDE the app?  Like adding a Lightning Lane to my favorite attraction!

Adding CarPlay integration?  Im a Rockin Rollercoaster on wheels!

Great additions to a fantastic player. Thanks!!

### 5/5 — Awesome Disney Park Music

*2026-03-26, version 2.1*

Such a nice escape back to the Disney Parks.  So many options with the channels

### 5/5 — Best Park / Disney (background) Music Player

*2026-03-17, version 2.1*

I use this app daily whether I’m at home lounging around, driving somewhere, or at work. There are numerous stations each with respective themes and they have such a massive selection. 

And now the app update has made it even better. No need for the site anymore in terms of requesting songs. And the ui is even nicer!

### 5/5 — CarPlay Support is Here!!!

*2026-03-16, version 2.1*

I don’t write reviews often. I’ve been a big fan of this app for several years, relaxing to the sounds of WDW. I always wished it had CarPlay integration, but I accepted that I should just be thankful it existed and functioned as well as it did. 

Lo and behold, how excited I was to read today’s app update notes including CarPlay! So excited this happened! Thanks devs!!

### 4/5 — Needs CarPlay

*2025-11-20, version 2.0*

Good app, needs CarPlay support

### 5/5 — Like

*2025-01-26, version 2.0*

I like all of the channels that you guys have on your site. I was just wondering when the update for us to be able to request songs for the app was gonna be because I saw you replied to someone two years ago and I still don’t have that

### 5/5 — Great for Disney park enthusiasts

*2024-11-04*

An amazing audio archive of past and present from Walt Disney world and beyond.  With individual stations for background and rides as well as park areas.

Just a minor technical hitch where disconnecting AirPods Pro auto defaults to play from phone speaker automatically instead of stopping the app.

I would love a new channel specifically for disney transportation, from spiels and narrations from busses, ships and monorails.  Think it would add another nostalgia hit for those not at the parks.

**Developer response:** New version coming out this week with a new audio engine. Check it out and let us know.

### 5/5 — I true legacy.

*2024-10-10, version 2.0*

I’ve enjoyed this service for almost a decade! 👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2024-07-10, version 2.0*

How did it take me so long to discover this app?  This is such a great way to listen to my favorite parks music and music I didn’t know I need to love. Thanks for doing this.
