### 4/5 — Love this app

*2025-04-07*

I live in America and love that I can stream triple j through the app to keep up on music and current affairs going on in Australia. This app would get 5 stars if there was an option to save my favourite Friday Mixes for easier listening. I like to listening to these mixes while working out but hate having to scroll through them all everytime to find my favourite ones.

### 4/5 — Apple tvOS support

*2025-01-25, version 5.4.4*

Hi could we also make this app available on tvOS so we can play the app directly on Apple TV rather than using airplay?
Would’ve have been great for Hottest 100 countdown to have this app directly on Apple TV

### 2/5 — FIX CHROMECAST

*2025-01-25, version 5.4.4*

On CHROMECAST the song does not change, terrible for hottest 100. Will give 5 stars once this is fixed (broken for at least 2 years now)

### 2/5 — Keeps changing from double j to unearthed

*2024-10-12*

Whenever I select the double j station and then go off the app or minimise it the station changes to unearthed. I don’t want to listen to unearthed! I have the same app installed on my phone and there is no problem. It is just the app on my iPad that is the issue. Very frustrating - I can see two other people have had the same issue over several months so think you should fix it!

### 3/5 — Issue with song history

*2024-10-07, version 5.4.2*

When viewing previously played songs, the list often refreshes or disappears. Please fix 🙏

### 4/5 — Frequency Finder in Settings

*2024-02-03, version 5.2.5*

It’s not the most logical place to find it.

### 4/5 — Spotify linkage autogenerating playlists

*2023-09-18, version 5.2.0*

Whenever you add a song to your Spotify from the app, two empty playlists are autogenerated titled “My Hottest 100 2021 Shortlist” and “Found on the triple j app”. This is an immensely frustrating roadblock in what is otherwise a really great app. I can’t count the number of these playlists I have had to delete, as the app does not recognise that they already exist and will generate “Found on the triple j app (1)” if you try and add multiple songs from the triple j app at the same time, creating heaps of extra empty playlists in my library. Very annoying.

### 4/5 — Great app! Display glitch in radio tqb though

*2023-07-31*

Not a diss. just letting you know that everything glitches and goes unreadable inside the radio tab at the bottom, every time I try to scroll. I’m also using an iPhone 8

### 2/5 — Constant crashes

*2023-02-22*

Any time I press play on live radio or catch up the app crashes

### 4/5 — Great app but having issues with crashing

*2023-02-04, version 4.10.2*

Love the app but when trying to run Mix Up replays it crashes every time.

### 5/5 — The Wiggles for Requestival

*2022-09-28, version 4.8.1*

❤️💛💜💙

### 2/5 — No longer plays to HomePods

*2021-12-15, version 3.6.0*

This latest update has broken the app - can’t play it to my HomePods, when the phone goes to sleep, the music cuts out about 20s later. Does it on my iPad as well. Was working fine 5 days ago. Other radio apps are working fine, just this one.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Latest tracks is broken

*2025-12-25, version 5.4.8*

It refreshes every 5 seconds, preventing you from seeing anything but the previous couple of tracks before bumping you back to the top. Incredibly annoying, deleting the app and will have to use the website.

### 1/5 — Station jumping

*2024-07-13, version 5.4.0*

This has been going on for months now. I reached out and had emails with support. The response I got is that the fault couldn’t be replicated. And now I see another reviewer having the same issue. Issue: - Open the app and select any other station except JJJ (Hottest, Double J, whatever). - Either minimise app or open another app to overlay JJJ app. - It immediately jumps to playing JJJ station. From the correspondence with support it seems to be only on iPad Air (Mines 5th gen). My last email was 11th June. I even attached a video recording of it happening. Now I just over it. Fix your defective app or I’m done with it.

Edit: Just opened the ABC listen app. Selected Double J. Then minimised. No problem. Tested it with multiple stations. Didn’t jump once. So issue is clearly with this app only. Maybe check the code configuration?

### 1/5 — Station Jumping

*2024-06-03, version 5.4.0*

Clearly you don’t read your reviews….. Fix this app…. As of last update When I have a station open on app (Double j) when I open any other app the app jumps from double j to triple j Hottest or to triple j Have done a restart of iPad, but station jumping continues. Have deleted app and reinstalled….problem still persist..😡😡

### 1/5 — F-king rubbish

*2023-08-19*

Every week this app changes. Have to scroll to the bottom of the feed to make programs and favourites available and today, just to be quirky and keep me on my toes, my feed, programme and my favourites are exactly the same. Absolute dogsh!t. Thanks guys 😁

### 1/5 — It used to be so simple

*2023-08-18, version 5.1.0*

It used to be easy to find a show from your preferred channel, but it is now hopeless. Example - to to find Eleven: used to be select Double J, All Programs, scroll to Eleven. Now it’s… where? Double J just comes up blank? The search is useless…

### 1/5 — No more phone number

*2023-04-20, version 4.10.3*

Why did you take away the option to text triple j through the app? It was so convenient. Now I have to search for the number if I want to text in.
Also the pop up when you open the app is annoying.

### 1/5 — Dispense with the woke opening acknowledgement

*2023-03-22, version 4.10.3*

Dispense with the woke opening acknowledgement. Love triple j’s music but hate how woke it’s become over these last 10 years changing the date of the Hottest 100 and now making you acknowledge a meaningless gesture before using the app. It is divisive not inclusive. Stick to music and stop wasting taxpayer funds making yourselves feel virtuous.

### 1/5 — Crashes when playing shows back

*2023-02-17, version 4.10.2*

Every time I go to play one of the shows/programs it crashes. Tried reinstalling and it works the first time then starts crashing again.

### 1/5 — Rubbish App

*2021-06-09, version 2.12.4*

Trying to play shows and app freezes and shuts down every time. Total garbage.

### 1/5 — Utter garbage

*2021-05-25, version 2.12.3*

In the past years triple J was more edgy than a rock climber. Now in modern times it has become a university station for angry under grads who want to protest against things such as the unfair treatment of vegetables. The the station is more PR compliant than an LBGIT+ dating app. It’s time to abandon triple J and start a new open source and free speech station.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — I concur, Much bazinga

*2026-06-28, version 5.4.10*

I approve of the what’s new description 🔥

### 5/5 — ex-pat triple j listener

*2026-06-27, version 5.4.10*

So good to discover the joy of returning to triple j having left Oz. In my case Sydney. It’s oddly unlike any other station’s effect on me having lived with it in the 90’s. I wonder what happened to Quentin’s Dream Readings on Fri? Sat? Mornings.
I LOVE the fact that the news call sign is still the one from 1991!!

### 5/5 — Superb!

*2025-01-25, version 5.4.4*

It works really well!

### 5/5 — Suggestion

*2025-01-18*

Suggestion : Dark mode. Nothing else. Great app!

### 5/5 — Handy

*2024-06-20, version 5.4.0*

I love the ability to add the current song to your Spotify or Apple Music with one tap, very handy!

### 5/5 — Never fire this person

*2024-05-19, version 5.4.0*

5 stars. One of very few apps that still include colourful & informative update descriptions.

### 5/5 — Hottest 100 voting update

*2023-12-31, version 5.2.3*

Hey, the app is telling me I need to update to vote. But there’s no update available via the App Store. I’m going to try uninstall and reinstall next (after new years)

### 5/5 — Best patch notes of any app

*2023-12-14, version 5.2.3*

Hilarious and informative, 10/10. Also: a really great design, easy to use, loads of great music and podcasts.

### 5/5 — Wish I didn’t drag my feet and miss out for so long!

*2023-10-11*

We’ve all heard the “download our app” while listening to triple j in the car and ignored it along with the damaging mounds of spam/ advertising our lives are bombarded with. Decided to download the app after getting home with groceries so I could continue the fabulous vibe Abby & Tyrone created for me in the car while I cooked dinner. OMG! I’m blown away, should have done this ages ago! Taking my time to cook an epic meal while I sip on a few bourbons and use this fantastic app. Have found a dozen or more songs to download into my car list for travel in the bush when I lose radio reception that I had forgotten the name of or forgotten all together. Love it 😍 thanks Triple j team!

### 5/5 — This app is aight!!!

*2023-02-26, version 4.10.3*
