I don't expect TuneIn to update their app to match iOS 26's liquid glass. They'll just keep adding stuff no one wants. I just want to get to my favourite stations when I open the app 🤷‍♂️ ### 2/5 — Could Be Better *2026-06-13, version 41.7.0* I’ve used this app for a while and unfortunately the experience has been pretty frustrating. The metadata is often incorrect or missing, so you don’t always know what you’re actually listening to. Integration with Apple CarPlay is also poor — there’s no proper search function, which makes it difficult and distracting to find stations while driving. On top of that, some streams simply won’t open at all, while others show up in search results but then say they’re not available in my country. Even when streams do work, they don’t reliably restart when you get back in the car, so you have to manually restart them every time. Overall, the app feels unreliable and not well optimized for in-car use, which is where I need it most. And I’m using the paid version. ### 5/5 — So much variety!! *2026-06-09, version 41.7.0* Best way to listen to all my favorite shows and listen to sporting events in one app!! Love it! ### 5/5 — Thanks to you *2026-06-07* I’m always happy because of TuneIn Radio😀 ### 5/5 — Review *2026-06-01, version 41.6.1* Fantastic thankyou ### 5/5 — Awesome app to listen to PBS *2026-05-31, version 41.6.1* I’ve been using this for years and I love it ### 5/5 — Nice , nice it is. 👍🏾 *2026-05-30, version 41.6.1* Nice above average nice. ### 5/5 — Emisora de Poder *2026-05-29, version 41.6.1* Hay que decir que sin audio no podemos disfrutar el sonido, pero cuando es Dios, es lo mejor de poder escucharlo en cualquier distancia no importando lo lejos. Gracias por hacer esto posible a través de la radio. Gloria Dios. Desde Cleveland, Ohio ### 5/5 — Bang on *2026-05-29, version 41.6.1* It works just get it ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Garbage *2026-08-22, version 42.2.0* The music stations start playing song and then stop playing it completely unacceptable. I wouldn’t recommend this app because the app also buffers too much. It never plays the music like it used to. ### 1/5 — Limited value in Australia *2026-08-17, version 42.2.0* Useless in Australia with very few stations available ### 1/5 — annoying pop ups *2026-08-12, version 42.2.0* stop asking me if i like the app every few times i open it. it’s annoying to the point that it causes me to not like the app ### 1/5 — WTF Ads *2026-08-02, version 42.0.0* Why am I all of a sudden getting ads in the middle of broadcasts in places where ads do not belong???? Where did this come from? ### 1/5 — SEVENS Radio Network UNSAT *2026-07-06, version 41.8.0* Tagging up the way SEVENS Radio Network the way you did is VERY SAD. Either you listen to nothing but commercials or you pay their premium price (10.00 a month) just to have all the commercials that SEVENS has implanted to keep the station “Free”. Horrible!! Garth you are and have always been amazing to me and I listened to no other station when you were on Sirius but this insane. I would rather pay to listen to your music, and your choices of music, than listening to commercials. Almost EVERYBODY has a pay for no commercials. Let’s get with the times! By the way, I have also bought everything you have ever released. So, I am not just someone complaining. Your Fan ### 1/5 — PRO has ads *2026-06-29, version 41.8.0* Wasted $ for the pro version. Full of ads ### 1/5 — Sucks *2026-06-13, version 41.7.0* 👎 ### 1/5 — 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽3 add or commercials Avery 8 minutes more or less 😡😡😡😡😡😡 *2026-06-12, version 41.7.0* Listening my morning radio show , Los hijos de tuta from Santiago Dominican Republic, at any time while you are listening the app play 3 add or commercials in a middle of any news or something interesting things that they are saying the program. Why? And if you connect to the wifi they play 3 more Add or commercials. That is not respectful. @loshijosdetuta. ### 1/5 — Used to be good *2026-05-25, version 41.6.1* This app was perfect when I pruchased it 10 years ago. Now it's absolute joke. Now you can't record anything (witch I paid for) and you have no good channels like before. On top of everything I feel like I'm using a free app full of commercials. ### 1/5 — Regret paying for it *2026-05-15, version 41.6.0* App loses data stream when I switch from wifi to cell or vice versa, needs to be restarted. Apple Watch extension app is so slow! Terrible user interface design, a lot of wasted space on the screen. Why does the station icon need to be so big? Recent station buttons don’t work. Poorly placed buttons at bottom edge of screen are confused with swiping up motion of screen. Almost every button press needs to be repeated. “Switch” feature is stupid, let ME choose what music I want to listen to! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Music is Life *2026-09-01, version 42.3.0* This Wonderful App. I have used close to 50 TB of stream ing All kinds of Music. Let TuneIn Play On!!!!! 🔈🔈🔈🔈 ### 5/5 — A must have app *2026-08-27, version 42.2.1* Essential app, radio from everywhere in the world. Great quality, easy and fast. Great job! Thanks. I’ve been using TuneIn for a long time now - it always delivers. ### 5/5 — Smooth jazz 24 Tampa *2026-08-19, version 42.2.0* When you want great smooth jazz with less commercials this is the station that you need to listen to. I’m in Tampa and I enjoy it every day. Love y’all.❤️❤️🍸🍷🎶🎺🎷🎸 ### 5/5 — TuneIn: Great Way to Access Entertainment *2026-08-16, version 42.2.0* I use TuneIn daily, from my iPad and through my Onkyo amplifier. The quality of the sound is phenomenal. I like the ease of finding material; you can find all sorts of interesting stations, such as Pure Jazz Radio, and specialized ones like theater organ. There is also a map that points out stations. The stations can be international; I listen to jazz programming from Britain, and classical music from Montreal and Switzerland. A wonderful app. ### 5/5 — The best *2026-08-15, version 42.2.0* 5stars ### 5/5 — Old time Radio *2026-08-12, version 42.2.0* Great memories of old-time shows ### 5/5 — Great app, worth it to remove preroll ads *2026-08-01, version 42.0.0* The free version of TuneIn has so many preroll ads that it's borderline unusable. Fortunately, Pro actually does remove those ads. The premium content and ad-free streams aren't included unless you subscribe to premium, but that isn't a big deal to me. ### 5/5 — gold star app, what ever you want to listen to at your finger tip. Using over 7 years daily. *2026-07-31, version 42.0.0* does exactly what the review states..5 stars deserved ### 5/5 — Awesome App *2026-06-15, version 41.7.0* Reliably pulls in stations from all over the world and offers really solid suggestions on other stations I might like. My favorite in a crowded field of lesser competitors. ### 5/5 — Feedback *2026-06-11, version 41.7.0* I wish this have had the ability to record your favorite stations on the free version. I wish that feature was available to all users without upgrading. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
