Hoping the developers work through that. Thanks. ### 5/5 — 心が落ち着く *2025-02-28, version 10.8* 寝る前によく聴いてます。 穏やかな気分になります。 ### 5/5 — Weiter sooo‼️ *2024-06-30, version 10.7* 📡 Bin seit einigen Jahren beständiger und begeisterter WSP-Hörer. Neben den Werken der großen Klassiker, (die ich mir im Laufe der Jahre etwas überhört habe), gibt es jede Menge großartige Stücke zeitgenössischer Komponisten. Viele von Ihnen entlocken einem Piano Musik mindest ebenbürtige Qualität. Mit seiner gelungenen Auswahl hat sich WSP zu deren Kanal entwickelt. Vor einigen Tagen entschied ich mich für ein Jahresabonnement.😀 ### 5/5 — Whisperings app *2024-06-25, version 10.7* This is a great app ### 3/5 — Kaare *2024-02-05, version 10.6* When I first had Whisperings I was using a site or app that was much more people friendly, easier to use, to repeat turns , go forward, to chose tunes as favorites and to delete them , but I don’t get to see that anymore, ### 2/5 — App Crashes *2024-01-31, version 10.6* Five-Stars for the music. One-Star for the app. One-Star for deleting my previous review. (I know you have a way to make bad reviews go away, but your customers love your brand, and that’s why they write you reviews hoping that you can make your product better. It takes time to write reviews.) The Custom PureStream feature in your app isn’t stable. It causes the app to crash. (The Custom PureStream on web browsers works fine.) So this indicates that your app has serious bugs. ### 5/5 — Almost too good to be true. *2024-01-24, version 10.6* If like me you like piano music, then this is a must. I can’t remember how I came across Solo Piano Radio, but I’m so glad I did. I’ve just paid for my third annual subscription for the Purestream version, and I wouldn’t be without it. Some of my favourite artists are featured but all the music played is, in my opinion, of a very high quality. I like it so much that it’s the only radio I listen to, and I’m always recommending it to friends. Thanks David Nevue for coming up with this! ### 3/5 — Stream bricht permanent ab *2024-01-13, version 10.6* Schade, seit einiger Zeit bricht der Stream permanent ab. Ein entspanntes Musikhören ist nicht möglich, da man permanent neu aktivieren muss! Für mich der ausschlaggebende Grund, warum ich kein Abonnement abgeschlossen habe. Die Musik ist klasse. Sehr zu empfehlen - hoffe die Stabilität wird bald wieder hergestellt! ### 5/5 — Find your Peace *2024-01-12, version 10.6* I listen to this station all day long. I LOVE it!! ### 5/5 — Thoughtful peace and harmony! *2023-10-03* Whisperings consistently and reliably delivers artful and varied professional creations by solo pianists whose work often seems to touch the soul. Thanks to them and to David Nevue, whose vision and commitment has provided this link between them and us! ### 5/5 — Absolutely love this music! *2023-09-13, version 10.6* I work remotely and have it on all day long. It is better than having white noise. Also, with this great piano music you don’t have any lyrics playing over and over in your head! I love the option of liking or not liking a song. I have never 👎 any of the whisperings. ### 5/5 — Excellence! *2023-09-09, version 10.6* For years during visits to my brother’s home I would hear beautiful piano music. Not long ago I finally asked him for the source, and now I have it playing in my home. What a joy! Thank you, David! ### 5/5 — The Best! *2023-08-11, version 10.6* Whisperings is the best app and I love Solo Piano Radio. This makes it so easy to listen on the go or through other devices at home. Great musicians and channel. It’s worth the money for their premium Purestream and this app. You will enjoy it! ### 3/5 — Möchte App-Fehler melden! *2023-04-05, version 10.6* Wenn der Stream von Musik auf die Sprache des Ansagers wechselt dann schaltet die App nach einer bestimmten Zeit ab und man muss die App neu starten, dass war früher nicht so! Kann man den bug fixen!? Das ist schon ziemlich nervig weil es spätestens alle ca. 15 min passiert. Wenn man über einen Browser in den webplayer von Whisperings Solo Piano geht ist das nicht so, der Fehler ist also nur in der App. Großen Dank, es ist ansonsten eine wunderbare Pianomusik✌️ ### 2/5 — App crashes, Account deactivated *2023-03-09, version 10.6* Every time I try to play the music, the application keeps crashing. Also, I have an account with you guys before and now I cannot log in to the website. ### 5/5 — I love your app but… *2023-01-05, version 10.5* I have an iPhone 12 and since getting this phone the app is hard to start (as well as on my iPadair) and when I do start it sometimes it’ll change in the middle of a song. I love Whispering music. How can I fix it or is it at your end? Thank you ### 5/5 — Wonderful music and service. *2022-12-22, version 10.5* I’ve had this app for several years now and I find the piano music that is provided to be curated, very professional and soothing to the listener. Calm piano music like this helps me get restored. Those responsible to provide customer service are very kind. Would recommend it to everyone. ### 5/5 — Composure *2022-12-09, version 10.4* Whisperings has become a source of composure through high stress and high stakes situations at work. Flawless app delivering great music. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Reliable “Quiet Time” Companion *2022-08-10, version 10.4* “Whisperings” is a comfortable companion for my journaling, reading and just slowing down. I also enjoy the soothing sounds of so piano music on a timer at bedtime. When it’s time to turn off the world around me, even for a few minutes, I tune in to Whisperings, my reliable quiet time companion.

I have subscribed as a lifetime user back when they were in iTunes on my laptop. The migrated to an app and I again resubscribed even though I had already bought a lifetime membership, because I was told it wouldn't transfer. So I repurchased the lifetime option that is no longer available. Once it was no longer available to purchase I lost my "lifetime" subscription. This is disappointing since I paid for it twice. So I listen to the free version now. Problem is is that the app force closes itself after a few second to a few minutes and will not connect again until I uninstall the app and reinstall it. Very unreliable and I would stick with the free version if you are able to get it to work for longer than a few minutes. Paying for the service will probably just be lost like mine was multiple times anyway. Too bad too! Me and my wife and daughter loved listening to this app. ### 1/5 — Unsure *2021-02-28, version 9.11* My husband spent $10 for an app that I can not use, you have to email the company to contact ### 1/5 — 詐欺ですか⁉️ *2020-10-19, version 9.11* フリー版で気に入ってアプリを購入。でも、宣伝のない「ピュアストリーム」は聴けませんから気をつけてくださいね。 そして日本語での説明も一切ないから登録方法すら分からない。どうしてこんなアプリが日本で購入できてしまうのか？？ ### 1/5 — Nothing, Absolutely Nothing *2020-09-04, version 9.11* Just paid $10 to get the APP. I got nothing. I can’t listen to anything unless I pay an additional $30/year. Thanks! ### 1/5 — Everything costs? *2020-03-21, version 9.8* I could have just listened for free online? I would like a refund as everything costs? The app does nothing? ### 1/5 — Constantly telling me I have credential issues *2014-10-18, version 8.5* I really do want to support the whisperings website, I think it's a great idea. WHen the iphone app came along, I thought "great, I can put this on my old ipod (same account) and have it playing in the background". WRONG! I am constantly cut off being told there is a problem with my credentials. Whisperings say to switch to the lower bitrate as that might be the problem but with 20 meg broadband, I don't think so. Because you cannot change username or password, I think they either don't have the ability to genertate secure passwords or the skills to allow us to create our own hashed passwords. That or they have been hacked and someone else has my password. The app looks gorgeous but unfortunately it is just too frustrating to use. I don't want to cancel my subscription but what's the point if I can't listen in? ### 1/5 — Musik top, App Schrott *2014-07-09, version 8.5* Vorweg: ich finde die Musik toll und bin auch für den Purestream eingetragen ABER die App ist für das iPhone nicht zu gebrauchen. Sie stürzt ständig ab, wenn sie mal gestartet ist, was auch nir selten funktioniert... (iPhone 5) Schade ums Geld. ‼️Finger weg bis ein Update für die grundlegende Stabilität da ist‼️ ### 1/5 — Do you app creators ! *2013-05-14, version 7.0* This application is really too expensive for the features you offer! Please enable a feature to save music for off-line listening. ### 1/5 — App. Crash Often. *2013-03-25, version 7.0* App. Crash too often. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2012-05-29, version 7.0* I probably should have read the informations about this application, as I thought that by paying 10 dollars for it I would have the access to the whispering solo piano radio free of commercials. Well the commercials are still there and you just pay 10 dollars to have an application that allows you only to listen to wthis one radio station - you may as well get the tuneIn app that lets you listen to many more radio stations and is more powerful !!! Rip off and complete waste of money!!! Wish I researched more before buying it!!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — My one reliable relaxation *2026-05-14, version 10.9* App is simple to use and is a must have now that Bose stopped supporting SoundTouch systems. Need my relaxing Whisperings! ### 5/5 — Relaxing music *2026-04-20, version 10.9* Very nice relaxing music you can play as background music when you have visitors. ### 5/5 — 16年前から愛用のサイトから *2026-03-31, version 10.9* AppleWatch se3 bug don't open app please up date 素晴らしいピアノがずっと流れます。サイトもpiano radioで検索ででます。アプリで快適になりました。今もありがとうございます。 ### 5/5 — Peaceful all day *2026-03-26, version 10.9* Great relaxing piano music. Worth the subscription for commercial free listening. ### 5/5 — Most Beautiful *2026-02-21, version 10.9* I love Whisperings, now a days it’s my go music. It’s an antithesis a soothing to the chaotic nerve racking world we live in today; and make driving easier with focus and attention —Thanks SPR —Keep up the good work, faithfully you know I will be tuning in. It is the Most Beautiful! ### 5/5 — Love the music *2025-10-22, version 10.8* I have listened for years. Beautiful sound. I can even listen while working. I don’t mind ads. Encourage these artists with such skill and art. Makes me want to play myself. Keep it up. ### 5/5 — The best *2025-10-22, version 10.8* of the best ### 5/5 — Relax my world. *2025-09-11, version 10.8* Pure soft piano melody. It should get 1 million star. ### 5/5 — Selections *2025-05-13, version 10.8* I would prefer to listen to standard piano songs, not jazzed-up selections that make no sense…to me. ### 5/5 — Great Music! *2025-03-17, version 10.8* I have used this app for years and I love it!
