Verdict

The call

Radio 3 and IDAGIO Stream Classical Music both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 77% of IDAGIO Stream Classical Music's written reviews are positive against 27% of Radio 3's. IDAGIO Stream Classical Music also leads on ratings volume (16K vs 26) and chart position (#148 vs unranked). Radio 3's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Radio 3 holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IDAGIO Stream Classical Music has 16K ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of Radio 3's written reviews are positive against 77% of IDAGIO Stream Classical Music's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Radio 3 ships an update every 5 weeks, IDAGIO Stream Classical Music every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
