### 4/5 — Great app but drained battery overnight using 50% of battery on iPhone, wasn’t even playing

*2026-05-27, version 2.2.1*

Great app but drained battery overnight using 50% of battery on iPhone, it wasn’t even playing. Unplugged from carplay after work. Could be a crashed process in the background.

### 5/5 — Great little app!

*2026-05-13*

I wanted to reach out to these folks as a voice over user and give them PROPS for NOT forgeting about us as most developers do. This is a very simple straightforward easy to use, interface! There are no MYSTERY buttons or buttons that simply do Not WORK!  Everything does what it's supposed too. I would love to see a recently played feature but that's about the only thing I'd  improve! They do not release updates just for the sake of updatet as do others! The selection of stations is HUGE! If you can't find something to listen to in all that, you are way to picky LOL! Go get it and ENJOY!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the kind words about our accessibility work!

There is a recently played feature that's accessible from VoiceOver on the Now Playing screen. Navigate to the "Show Track Info" button and then select "Show Track History" and you'll get a list of what's played. You can drill down into each track to get more information about it (including links to Apple Music, etc.)

If this isn't working for some reason, get in touch with us at support.iconfactory.com

### 5/5 — Beautiful app, album covers awesome

*2026-04-18*

My favorite radio app for both terrestrial and internet stations (their selection of curated stations is great). I especially like this app’s ability to match album art with songs. A beautiful app, well designed.

### 5/5 — Surprisingly exceptional sound quality

*2026-03-16*

This is an excellent radio streaming app that includes album art, which I love.  And the Apple CarPlay integration is well done and easy to use. 

But the thing that took me by surprise was how good it sounds when listening to high bit rate MP3 streams and FLAC.  streams. There was a noticeable improvement in the sound quality compared to other apps included some that claim to be high fidelity.  This app makes no such claim that I’ve seen, but instead just delivers it.

### 5/5 — In constant use

*2026-01-26*

It’s a great radio streaming app with great support on iOS, Mac and Apple TV. The new widgets are great too especially on my iPhone.

The forever price is dirt cheap for the hours I’ve got out of to the point I kinda wish it had a tip jar or other means to provide additional support for the app.

### 3/5 — Great app

*2025-12-31, version 2.2.1*

Just wish the controls didn’t fall off the screen on a smaller-screen device like the 2022 iPhone SE.

### 5/5 — The best radio app

*2025-10-22, version 2.2.1*

Triode supports all my favorite stations and has sooooo many great features on iOS, CarPlay, and tvOS. Get it, you won’t regret it.

### 5/5 — The Best iOS Radio App

*2025-10-14*

I mainly listen to a few stations throughout the day—WXYC, NTS, KFJC, etc., and this app is by far the best that I’ve tried. Great to get away from TuneIn which has gotten so much worse over the years. They update it frequently, and it works perfectly with CarPlay. Great for custom feeds. Amazing!

### 2/5 — Unfortunate UI changes

*2025-09-16, version 2.2*

It’s very unfortunate that developers are following Apple’s design trend and making on-screen elements more difficult to find and read. I love this app and hope they’ll come to their senses to revert to a more usable product.

### 3/5 — Needs updating

*2025-08-26*

A year or more since last update. Is the app still being maintained?
