Btw, it's a very good effort especially for malaysian yg kat overseas kan ;) nice! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Lots of glitches *2025-06-24* App itself often stopped playing without any reason. Need to reach to the phone to restart it as CarPlay won’t do the trick. When not connected to CarPlay, it would load up even after being killed. Please please fix all these bugs. ### 1/5 — Poor app development *2025-06-06* The app started itself even when it’s killed. While listening in the car using CarPlay, it would stopped without any reason. A lot of time I’ll need to reach to my phone and hit the play button again before it pops back up on CarPlay. ### 1/5 — App crash *2021-12-22* App crash not able to run in apple iPhone 5s **Developer response:** Hi, do you still facing this issue? If yes, can you please let us know your phone model, operating version and SYOK app version for us to look into? ### 1/5 — Radio starts playing on ita own *2021-11-16, version 8.10.1* There’s a major bug as the app starts on its own playing the radio without me even opening the app despite no alarm has been set! Please fix it! ### 1/5 — Uses too much battery! ☹️ *2019-11-07, version 8.1.0* This app is good, but it uses too much battery and my phone gets super hot!! Is there any way to fix this please? I had to delete this app because my phone was burning up. ### 1/5 — Distorted sounds *2012-05-09* After the newest update, playback is very very very choppy, and distorted, can't hear a thing!! FIX THIS FAST!!! **Developer response:** Alamak! We're sorry you're encountering this! Can you please let us know your phone model, operating version and SYOK app version for us to look into? ### 1/5 — Didn't work *2011-05-19* Tried almost all stations but failed using my iphone 4. However it worked on my friend's ipad 2. I hope there's patch coming up to fix this. **Developer response:** Hi! Can you please let us know your phone model, operating version and SYOK app version for us to look into? ### 1/5 — ERA is not working *2009-10-08* other stations are OK but i can hear nothing on ERA.fm... other stations load less than 10sec but ERA takes forever to load. ### 2/5 — Years-long Bug still Persists? *2024-12-03* Had been a useful app for a long time… especially with the CarPlay integration. Enabled crystal clear reception without relying on being able to get clear FM signal. The annoying bugs such as the app mysteriously starting itself and playing (even while CarPlay is *not* connected), and the occasional forever-looping ad segment were bugs that had to be tolerated. I see that other users have given feedback on the same bugs since years prior 😵‍💫 and at this point am not sure if they will ever be fixed 🤷‍♂️. And with the latest update even station playlists have been removed. Feedback given via email remained unattended to. So maybe it’s time for me to move on to music streaming apps. It has been fun while it lasted, SYOK. ✌🏽 ### 2/5 — Bad Apple CarPlay integration *2024-08-17* Have to use the app itself 90% of the time. Won’t be able to play unless it’s kickstarted in the app, or playing in between stops. Sometimes the ad just keep going nonstop until it fixes itself who knows how long it takes. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The best radio station *2026-01-10, version 9.3.0* The most reliable app radio station worldwide without interruptions. Simply loved it💕 ### 5/5 — Nice app *2020-01-24* Nice app. I can listen different radio’s channels **Developer response:** Thank you for your SYOK rating! ### 5/5 — Great app to listen to Astro’s radio on the go *2019-07-04* I take the LRT, Grab and cycle a lot these days. As such I don’t have the convenience of my car radio as much as I’d like. The app is a fantastic way to listen to my favorite radio stations like Hitz, Mix and Lite anywhere and anytime. I honestly didn’t even know that the Hitz In peninsular Malaysia was different to that of Sabah and even Sarawak. Well done Astro Note: I noticed some comments about ERA not working. It actually worked when I tried it. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you're enjoying the SYOK App! ### 5/5 — Great effort *2019-06-28, version 8.0* Loving the simple and easy to use design. Works well on my end except for the app is playing in the background that causes by battery to drain fast without me realizing it. Overall, great stuff! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2014-05-17* Excellent apps for malaysian local radio station. **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback! Much Love! :) ### 5/5 — Nice one era...

Thanks ### 5/5 — superb!! *2011-02-08, version 3.1.1* bagusnye ade application ni kat ipod..senang nk dengar era kalo tbe2 rindu malaysia..lbih2 lagi kpd sape2 yg kat oversea.. ### 4/5 — The Best Radio App For Malaysian So Far. *2009-09-20* Sinar.fm station please.. ### 3/5 — Good apps for Malaysian but…. *2024-04-23* I really like how they combined all the radio and podcasts under one app but it seems always stop playing out of sudden, especially when you changed app from one to another in your mobile. Or even no reason it has just stopped playing suddenly. IT people should take some time to work it out **Developer response:** Hi, Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoy the combined radio and podcast features. We're sorry to hear about the playback issues you're encountering. Could you please provide more details to our support team at hello@syok.my? Our IT team will look into it and work on resolving the problem.
