FAQs Q: Where can I find these stations online? A: Each of the stations are run independently and have their own online presence. There are several online directories where you can find the stations featured in the app. Q: Why does the music occasionally skip? A: When songs are skipping, it is often because 1) that station's server has recently been reset or 2) the internet isn't filling the audio buffer fast enough. Usually these issues are resolved with faster internet, changing to a new station, or they resolve on their own after the server resets. Q: Why are some stations blank at times? A: Some of these stations are controlled by real DJs and if they aren't playing anything at the time or their site is down no music will play. Fortunately we have a variety of channels so you will always have a lot to choose from. For more information, including Terms of Service & Privacy Policy, visit http://www.myindieapp.com.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Oldies Radio+ at every 3 months against Magic's every 20 months. Oldies Radio+ also leads on ratings volume (20K vs 5) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). Magic's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Magic holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7.

Written reviews point the same way: 97% of Oldies Radio+'s written reviews are positive against 100% of Magic's.
Oldies Radio+ ships an update every 3 months, Magic every 20 months. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
