The strange thing about it is if I don't close the app completely right after using it my battery will drain extremely fast. 45 minutes after stopping the stream but leaving the app in the background my battery is at 65%. Not a big deal, just gotta remember to close it. ### 3/5 — Buggy *2014-08-18, version 3.0.88* I love using this to walk my dog in the morning. There are times that I need to delete it and re-add because it will stop playing altogether. ### 3/5 — I love it but it uses to much power *2014-08-14, version 3.0.88* I use this app for work all the time but It somehow will not last longer than two hours with 100% battery while using the 3G. I wish there was some other way, but I move around too much to stay connected to any Wifi. And pandora seems to last me all day so I know that it's this app not the 3G usage that's killing my battery Fix this and not only will I listen to my favorite Radio station, but I'll also give this app it's rightfully deserving gets 5 stars! ### 3/5 — Need an iPad version *2014-07-11, version 3.0.88* Why only iphone? It would being easier to listen at my desk at work through my iPad. ### 3/5 — It's okay *2013-10-15, version 3.0.60* I am happy x96 app is here. Every time I try to add a favorite it crashes. Other than that it works (so that's a big improvement.) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Too many intrusive non-radio ads *2025-08-31, version 12.0.60* In addition to the expected radio broadcast ads, we are also subjected to intrusive online ads in the app. Not worth the bandwidth for me. ### 1/5 — App is garbage *2022-03-25, version 11.15.10* This app is the worst I’ve ever used. If you pause using your headphones it closes out and doesn’t save where you last were if listening to something previously recorded. ### 1/5 — Angry *2019-01-24, version 5.3* Newest version won’t play unless my screen stays lit. As soon as the screen goes dark the app stops playing. ### 1/5 — Abandoned *2015-09-06, version 3.1.84* You guys have not done anything over a year it needs an update bad fix it and I'll 5 star you ### 1/5 — Bad *2015-02-02, version 3.1.84* It starts up but doesn't do anything else needs an update or actually work I waited 5 minutes to finish starting up but stays on one screen ### 2/5 — Horrible experience *2026-02-05, version 12.0.80* I connect to listen live, watch/listen an ad, listen to music for a minute and then get disconnected. Repeat ad nauseam. It could be iOS 26 bugs causing the problem, but as is, this app is difficult to use. ### 2/5 — Love the snow. Hate the app. *2022-05-12, version 11.15.15* I love RFH and listen every morning right when I wake up from the app. This app is terrible! It pauses and un-pauses itself spontaneously. Music continues to play when I answer a phone call (all my other music/podcast apps stop playing when I answer). If I click on a video in my social media apps, this app plays over the video I’m trying to watch, rather then stopping until I tell it to resume after the video. Incredibly frustrating. Hoping it gets a nice update soon! ### 2/5 — Make alarm better *2021-06-15, version 11.14.20* I love X96 but I wish I could wake up to RFH or music instead of an alarm sound. ### 2/5 — App only loads to a white screen *2020-12-09, version 11.14.20* App has been working on for the most part until today. Opening the app only loads to a blank white screen ### 2/5 — Okay *2016-06-06, version 3.5.3* I'd rate it higher but it uses lots of battery even when it isn't active. You have to force quit it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Like Being Home *2026-06-13, version 12.0.86* When I moved to trash can North Dakota I listen to this so I feel like I’m home again ### 5/5 — Fix *2016-09-09, version 3.5.3* Please fix the app so the streaming works again please ### 5/5 — Great *2013-10-01, version 3.0.60* Works great easy to use! ### 5/5 — Finally it works *2013-09-03, version 3.0.57* I've been complaining about the old app for months that the streaming wasn't working. Well that's fixed with this NEW app! I wish X96 would send out an email to the registered union workers about this. Would have been nice. Anyway, good job guys. ### 5/5 — FINALLY!!!! *2013-08-15, version 3.0.55* They've totally redone this app. Complete from the bottom up. And it's finally up and working. Sooo excited. Thanks X96. You're the best! ### 4/5 — Great Station *2020-01-24, version 11.11.1* I love this radio station and this app but I can’t seem to find a way to change the time zone for when certain songs play I’m in the PST not MST ### 4/5 — Chat room *2019-11-12, version 11.9.0* I upgraded the app and lost the chat room ### 4/5 — One request *2013-10-27, version 3.0.60* Everything is perfect... Would Make it a 5/5 if you added a song request tab thing, thanks ### 3/5 — Upgrade Audio Quality to a higher bit rate *2025-05-02, version 11.17.85* Just a suggestion in this age of audio streaming. You guys could switch to streaming using AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) is generally considered a more efficient and higher-quality audio format compared to MP3, especially at lower bit rates. Just a suggestion if you’re not already doing this. ### 3/5 — Needs improvement *2021-01-08, version 11.14.20* Overall I am glad I can stream the shows. The ads at startup sometimes freeze and have to close and restart. PLEASE BRING BACK THE CHATROOM! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
