Formerly was a Fan, Now not so much. I use to be a big fan of this app. I liked to openness of the format and the ability to “tune-in” the globe. Yes, I tolerated their intrusive adverts resigning myself to the reality they need to make money somehow (they impose themselves upon the broadcast station often incessantly) but I’m totally annoyed by their adverts intruding on other stand alone radio apps installed on my phone. A bug? A mistake? How about an annoyance? Very nudgy. It makes me suspicious of what other mischief this app is up to! Guys help me like you again.

A big world. I’m in New York. I see the Ukraine being attacked on the news and I can feel connected and empathize with people by listening to the same radio. I can impress my homesick Chinese friend with Chinese music. I can play Japanese music for another who is trying to learn that language. I can also surf the world and see what’s popular in Africa, or Greece, this is pretty cool.

Simply Put - The Best. Simply put, this is the finest international radio app I have used. One moment, you are in India, the next moment you are in Iceland. It is an ethnomusicologist’s treasure trove (present day)! I cannot thank you enough for your hard work on this wonderful app! I discover the world with this app. I hope you will develop a separate app exactly the same but for shortwave frequencies, if that is possible. Again, congratulations and thank you for an app that shares the world!!! Warm Regards.

Best App hands down!!!. Originally from Kenya and through this app i am able to keep in touch with my home country and other neighboring countries in East Africa. Technologically this is the best means of getting the latest and greatest news from the entire globe. Hands down to the developers. Without this app, i would not have maintained the much needed contact with my home country. Very impressed with this app, i listen to my stations every freaking day. Night or day am always here streaming my favorite radio stations. As a dj also, it helps me learn what other people from different cultures listen to. Browsing through various cities, countries and radio stations. It gives me an immense sense of pride that i can learn more from others. Hence expanding my knowledge in Music. Big up Radio Garden. Long Live Radio Garden... Peace👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿💯💯💯

Fast and Cool!!!. I just discovered this app and have been listening to radio stations all around the world. I cannot believe how fast this app works. Just select the country and the stations are loaded without any wait time. Many ad-free stations. This was worth $2.99! It is just as good without paying, but these developers deserve the money for creating such an excellent product.

Radiogarden has evolved so!. I got hooked on Radiogarden when it was launched in late 2016. It was so fascinating and fun to spin the globe and listen to local radio. I only wished there was an app I could put in my music folder. There were earlier ones that were very sub-par. This one is the best and as my title said, Radiogarden has evolved as well, with countless more stations and it tunes in so quickly now. Spread the word friends! I sure have. 😊

One of my favorite apps. The only app I’ve written a review for. I love this app on the desktop or on my phone. Pretty foolproof layout and great reception wherever I’m at. Few stations are inconsistent in playback but I find it depends on the time of day. I recommend this app to all my friends who are stuck in a rut with music discovery. A great way to reach out and feel like you’re somewhere else when you’re at home or at work!

100% legit. It’s work on my service plan and I can listen to any country. it’s just as good as apple radio but this time you Liston to country. But I wish they keep it free forever. Because I think it is good as it is. Please don’t charge money. These people just want you to please don’t do it! 😣 and don’t hate on this app But do agree on were there are to many ads pop up I just close them. 😡 I wish they would remove them. But keep it up radio garden 😁 I really enjoying your app.

Hard to function.. Unexplainably, whenever I load into the app, all I see is the privacy policy and the cookies paragraphs at the bottom of the blue screen. All I want to do is to start listening and explore, but I can’t because whenever I try pressing the “play button” in the middle of the screen, literally nothing happens. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app numerous times, and ex’d out of the app and gone back in numerous times, as-well as power off and on my phone, still, nothing. Please explain how I would be able to fix this issue.

Fantastic app!. As the title says, this is an excellent app. It works perfectly and is seriously littered with radio stations from around the WHOLE world. If you're looking to really broaden your horizons, looking to get a little taste of home or even reminiscing on past trips and adventures in distant places, this app while suit your needs. I must also mention that I rarely, if ever, rate and review apps for the Apple Store- so this app really blew me away- not just now but also years ago. To the developers- you really put a lot of effort into this and it shows! Thank you!

Dev sneaks in subscription model without warning. Once again a developer sneaks in a subscription model without warning in the change notes. Simply saying ”new tier” is too vague. Only AFTER I updated did I see the subscription details. Apple should ban this practice because too many developers rely on users not reading change notes before updating. If a subscription is now required just to remove ads I will have to abandon this app to the pile of other subscription based apps I’ve had to stop using.

Takes me to Italy!. I love Radio Garden because it gives me the opportunity to practice listening in Italian. It is simply a great app. My only complaint is that from time to time it freezes and I have to delete then reinstall the app. And lately an ad for the Discover app pops up and I have not been able to get rid of it by touching the x, forcing me to delete and reinstall. Still a great app!

Must-have for World Music lovers. I enjoy a large variety of music from all over the world. I usually have to do a lot of work to find different world genres, search the internet until I’ve found a few examples of what I want. But with this app, all the music I like is in one place, easily found, and the favorites menu allow me to save those radio stations that hit just right. So far I’ve collected stations from the UK, India, Japan, South America, Eastern Europe … and I’ve just scratched the surface! This app is a must-have for travelers, students, music lovers, and anyone who is looking for a connection to the rest of the world. Five stars!

And now I cannot live without it!. What a fantastic job you have done. I am looking forward to more curated content. One thing I would love to see tho is the ability to share my favorite stations – I have you on my phone and on my laptop and I haven't found a way to create an account that would share those across my devices. Cheers!

Love the App, AirPlay Still Flaky. Brilliant idea, offering a window onto the world. And it generally works well — unless you want to stream to an AirPlay device. First, I’ve not found an obvious UI feature to send to AirPlay when you select a station — you either select AirPlay in a different audio app first, or you have to click the screen off and then off again, because the interface on the Lock Screen offers a way to select it. Second, once you do that, it still drops out frequently; and if you try streaming to two speakers at once, the sound stops entirely, though the app tells you it’s playing. Very, very frustrating. But if you don’t need AirPlay, this is a no-brainer.

Ads won’t close, but I love the app itself. I love being able to listen to so many radio stations in the world in so many languages with such clear quality. The only thing that bothers me is that I am not able to hit the x button on visual ads, looks like it’s because it’s too far in the corner. I would like this problem to be fixed. Every time there is an ad, if I want to get back to the radio garden earth screen, I need to quit the app. Thank you.

Almost Awesome!. I downloaded this app yesterday and loved it, it was so cool to skip around the world listening to local stations, but I put it on again today, and every time an ad pops up, the music stops and I have to physically close the ad and restart the radio, which is difficult while I am at work, so I just shut it off altogether and put on a different music app. That is the only issue I have with this app.

Great app! Could use some more features. I love this app, it’s probably my favorite app on my phone. A great feature would be to see your recent stations! Sometimes I’ll leave a station and won’t save it or I’ll jump away to quick just when it gets good and I won’t be able to find it again. One other great feature would be to add some sort of way to add custom names to stations. Ex. In the favorites tab be able to add custom tags or text, this would make it easier to identify what that station most often plays! Would really appreciate this feature! Dear developers, great job! I love this app! Please reach out to me, I would love to support this app and will eagerly tell friends and family about this app!

Connect to the whole world. I love this app so much. Amazing way to feel a little more connected to the rest of the world. Love all the different public and community stations. Check out Chico CA and Kilkenny Ireland. Early 80s babies like me might like KBXR out of Missouri. I even listen to air traffic control sometimes. The other day I heard Monty Python bits on two different stations within an hour. A little faith in humanity restored. Great interface but would be nice to see town names, state and country borders, etc on the map. Love that I can save favorite stations but would like to be able to scan through them. Thanks for a cool app!

BEWARE!. I highly recommend that you avoid this app. Either it is malicious or it has been compromised by nefarious parties. The app stopped playing and I got what looked like a legit pop-up warning saying the app had stopped because the phone memory was near capacity. It was not the usual bogus iPhone "memory storage full" pop-up that is common. It had a button to click to fix the "problem" or another to "dismiss" if I remember right. I didn't have the presence of mind to screen shot and simply closed out of the app. I'll be deleting it immediately. Too bad, because I really looked forward to using it as I travel daily.

Audible ads. When looking at the purchase to remove ads it states that only visual ads are removed due to having no control over audible ads. While this statement makes since, I find it very hard to believe when the audible ads that I do hear are directed towards my country, state, and even county. And whenever I resume a station I was listening to earlier, there always happens to be one of those directed ads playing. I love this app and what if brings, but please expand on how you have no control over audible ads.

Unreal app. This app is fantastic. It’s extremely user friendly and has very little ads. I hardly even listen to my own music now because I’ve found stations that are awesome. Only thing I could think of recommending is a feature where I could see what song is playing on the station but other than that this app is a must download.

Strange but amazing.. So when I first heard of this app I was looking at google for fun websites. I came upon 8 fun websites and radio garden was first. Out of curiosity I decided to read the intro to what it was and why it was fun. Google said a fun website to see what people all over the globe listen to such as radio talks, music, sermons, Etc Etc.. so the first one that was on the website was in Mongolia tx with preaching. On the side it said experience the app on App Store so I decided to get it. After a while of playing it it seemed creepy, but overall I love this app. No difficulties other than some not responding but that’s fine for a free app. Thank you :)

Ads, again.. Fantastic app, marvelous idea, but please figure out a way to remove the audio ads before the station starts. I don’t mean ads from the station, I understand those are out of your hands, and they make the station even more interesting. Charge me for it, put a price on your effort. There is a lot of potential growth for the app. Try crowdfunding, raise money, ditch the ads!

Fantastic!. Works perfectly and so easy to use. You can start listening instantly and find the exact station you’re looking for - ANYWHERE. It’s completely free with an occasional ad when you open the app itself. So happy with this download. I should’ve gotten it forever ago

I Really like this. Radio Garden is my most favorite app to use for listening to radio stations. So far everything has been great except one thing, the song that is displayed as whats being played isn’t actually whats playing. It hasn't changed for at least a week or so now. Its just pretty annoying because id have to go to the station’s website to know what’s on but otherwise its great. Please fix this

Love it!. I use this app every day. Great if you’ve lived a lot of places and want to drop in to an old locale. Great if you’re traveling and want to stay in touch with whats going on at home. Great if you listen to specific genres (classical, jazz- some great jazz around the world). Great if you want to listen to other languages. The favorites feature is so useful. I like this app so much I paid to get rid of the ads just to support this company - the ads are some of the least intrusive I’ve seen on an app. Thanks Radio Garden.

punitive advertising equals poor app. want to hear what’s on a station? Sit through a commercial. Oh...that station is awful. Let’s check another. Time to sit through another commercial! That station is offline, let’s check another! Time for a new commercial! Needless to say you will have listened to thirty minutes of awful commercials before finding a station you like. Once you do find a station you like, the commercials are at a vastly different volume level than the radio stations due to poor loudness normalization quality control. A good idea very very poorly executed. Another app designed to shove as many ads down people’s throats as possible.

This is such a cool app. I’ve only heard the radio in taxis, buses and at my relatives homes but those all don’t count as I don’t understand the languages being spoken so this is a cool app to find stations around the world broadcasting in a language you understand. This also is cool because it kind of helps me see(or hear) the differences between a radio and watching the news on my phone as I am not old enough to remember the radio being used. 2 ideas which I have seen and want to share are •Random station button •Country/Language guesser(like geo guesser) with other people

Excellent App. I have been a radio geek for over 62 years, from my dad’s big Grundig living room radio, to my little Sony transistor radio, to FM stereo radio and years as a licensed Amateur Radio Operator I have loved them all. This app is nirvana. You explore the world’s commercial and some national radio stations as you search the globe. An easy and fun to use app. If you enjoy radio, please support the app and developers.

I love the apps!!!. I really love this app! Especially jumping seamlessly from station to station across the globe. One thing: I can only get the station “ON House” in Hof, Germany when I’m on wifi. So, I can’t listen to it in my car, which is a real bummer. Hopefully, this can be fixed in the next upgrade. Still love the app though!

Accounts would really be useful. Pros: Having now been through a few competing programs (looking for an alternative), I can say that RG unquestionably accesses the most stations, in a way that makes a lot of sense. Cons: Not so good if you don’t relate well to maps in the first place. If you’re the classic, “They couldn’t point to {x} on a map!”, welllllll…. that’s the user interface RG uses. Another problem I’ve run across: Because there are no accounts, every now and then my Favorites will disappear. I assume this is because they’re held in some local file. So not only do I have to recreate my Favorites on each device I use ( because, without accounts, they don’t propagate), not only are my lists different on each device ( see earlier point), sometimes I have to recreate my lists from scratch. This is not good. I think this must be a cost-saving method. No accounts means local storage, so no leases. But, really, guys…. Shell out the money for the 1 or 2U of rackspace it would take. At least from me, it would eliminate a lot of hassle, and it would earn that 5th star. ETA: Having switched from an iPad/7 to an iPad Air/5, the lack of a physical home button really makes a difference with this UI. I keep not flicking from the bottom fast enough, so the map interprets that as a change of town. I keep having to go back to Favorites, pick my station, then repeat. Stage Manager fixes this by having the selection windows to the side, but that seems a very brute force approach.

What a great tool!. Besides sharing cultures, keeping up with the news back home, etc., this is a wonderful way to improve one’s audio comprehension of a foreign language. I wish I had found this years ago! As far as the app goes, it’s simple but flexible and intuitive. Great design, and so far has worked without a hitch. 10/10.

So much fun and discovery...but advertising intrudes. I was like a kid with a new shortwave radio, exploring for hours. The interface is so cool, and although many stations the world over play the same old boring music, there are real gems. Absolutely one on my favorite apps. But the advertising really gets in the way. The ad screens are very difficult to close. It’s hard to be transported by music when you’re jabbing at an “X” trying to close the ad and explore further. I’d pay something fir an ad-free version, or at least make it easier to close the ad windows.

Awesome. I love this app! Hands down one of the coolest apps I’d say I’ve ever downloaded! You can listen to almost any station anywhere! You can also submit stations and get them on here and the process is pretty easy. Also mentions pop up ads but I haven’t seen any and I’ve had this app for about a year now if I start seeing a lot for some reason it’s $3-4 to remove them which I am certainly happy to get to help out radio garden definitely worth it! Thank you radio garden!

I love this. I have been using your website based for many years. Thanks. I often look at the geography around the station location. Super cool idea. I sometimes go look for images of locations online and demographics about places where I have found radio I like. Also thanks for the favorites feature. I recommend.

Was great, now broken.. I evangelized heavily for this app when I first got it, but in the last few months I’ve gotten an error message saying “Our servers are no longer responding “ every time I change the channel. Ithought updating would help but no dice. I deleted and downloaded again to see if that would help but now all o get is the same error message and I’ve lost all my favorites. It works fine on my iPad, but not my iPhone. Since my phone was the device I used it on the most this has soured me on the app altogether. Just writing this review on the hope it will get fixed.

MUCHAS GRACIAS ~ THANK YOU. I was born in 1972 and I never ever imagined having a device with almost all the radios of the world in my hand. Now when I look back in time, it is amazing how Radio Garden developed an amazing app. I already traveled to a dozen of countries in 3 continents to date, and I can fly over the world with this app and listen to all radios as I desire. From San Salvador to Rio de la Plata, from Santo Domingo to New York, from Paris to Cameroon, from Russia to Chile, from Brazil to Iceland, the possibilities are almost endless. I speak two languages and a third one is in progress of learning, this app helps me to listen to as many languages as they exist in the world. I am writing this review listening a radio from Germany and I am in the US. Simplemente maravilloso! Thank you, gracias, muito obrigado! Peace! ✌🏼

Excellent radio app, with key improvements needed. Radio Garden is fantastic, a wonderful way to explore world radio. One thing it taught me right away is how profound the hold American pop has on the entire world—as another reviewer said, it’s almost unbelievable the number of stations everywhere playing ‘today’s’ crappy, throwaway English-language dance-ish pop, and then you have nearly as many doing “Hits from the 80s” etc. Depressing. But if you’re diligent you can find all kinds of ear-opening stuff. Radio Garden needs: 1. Manual URL entry of new stations. It’s nice they have a ‘submit station’ form, but why not let me test the URL first—within the app—and why not give me immediate access to the feeds i want to listen to? The app could list manually-entered stations in the Favorites area. When you play a manually-entered station the app could display the station name in a special color and rotate the globe to some place out in the ocean—or just leave the globe as it is 2. Support for iPad screen sizes. Currently on iPad it runs as if it were on a phone, with that wide black border around the app. 3. Chinese and northern and central African stations. Where are they? 4. Tags/categories so stations can be grouped and selected for play by genre, language or whatever. We should likewise be able to order the station list in whatever order makes sense to the user.

Incredible app!!!!!. I don’t know why an app like this wasn’t made sooner! I’ve always wanted an app that could tap into any radio station, and I think this is perfect! The ads are skippable after 5 seconds and never interrupt the music playing and they’re not that frequent! Really really great app for radio listeners!

Fantastic app!. This has become my favorite app. I have family and friends in other parts of the country. I enjoy listening to stations in their areas to see how things are going. I enjoy listening to different music from around the world. The clarity and speed is great! I highly recommend this app.

Can’t close ads. Love the app, but an ad covered the entire screen and no matter how many times I tapped on the little X in the top right corner, the ad would not go away. This might have something to do with the ads not being optimize for an iPhone 11. Eventually, I got the ad to close. I’m not sure how, but I really wanted to find a different station!

Haitian but born in the USA. Growing up my parents did an amazing job tell us and showing us Haiti history. We would send cassette tapes back and fourth in the 90s but I always wanted to know what is my People listening to on the radio. This is a big help. Especially when you want to connect to the Afro Latin Diaspora! You want to grow your playlist✅want to listen to what people are Jamming to in anywhere in the world ✅✅✅

Wonderful cultural exploration. Pretty much I love this app. Decades ago, in the golden age of shortwave radio, I would listen for endless, endless hours to distant stations with a real, serious shortwave radio, mostly music, without regard to understanding a word. That world is gone now, but this is the modern, totally easy, way to hear other cultures. Truthfully I don’t care about the domestic coverage at all. I particularly love the global map and the listing of all stations in a city. I would love a way to avoid the audio advertising, it’s gross and offensive, I’d happily pay a subscription fee, but I understand that’s not the issue. All one can do is not patronize the advertisers. The app itself gets a full five stars for the interface and content.

Wonderful! Would like to see.... This app is truly wonderful for when you have nothing else to do and just want to take a music vacation from your local stations, or even hear radio stations from your home town or country when on a vacation! Some things that I would had to the experience that is arguably a lot of work would be like a clock for each station so we can see what time it is where the station is located, that way we can tell when type of music is being played (late night as opposed to morning tunes).

This. App. Is. Incredible.. I found this app after I realized getting an actual shortwave radio was a losing proposition. Wow, I realized that using this app is a way better experience than anything I could do with a shortwave radio. The visual “spinning globe” interface is incredibly engaging. It’s surreal to just spin the globe, zoom in on an area, and start browsing local stations. I feel like all the world’s radio stations are at my fingertips. This is unreal. Thank you! Will upgrade to ad-free version right now.

Travel the world!. Don’t tell them (shhhh!), but they should be *charging* for this amazing *free* app...I just spent a half hour (ok, an hour!) traveling around Europe’s radio stations (lots of American music out there!), and coincidentally learning which countries are where, which are next to/above/below each other, and so this app is not only loads of fun - it’s also *educational*! And whatever map service they’re using let’s you zoom in really closely, so my trip this evening ending we me exploring the Oxford area of England, with amazing overhead views of the various colleges...wish I’d gone there! Think I’ll visit Norway next...

Very Good - and a real pleasure to have. I really like this app. I would give it 5 stars, and probably pay for the ad-free version, but for one flaw. When switching between apps: when you return to Radio Garden Live, the geographic interface shifts. So, you lose the station you were listening to (does not happen every time?). Your ability to recover that station now depends on your memory. You can sort of deal with this by marking a favorite, but this limits exploration. I am currently really enjoying a jazz station from Romania, here in the USA. I love the random element of exploration, which seems to have been the goal of the author.

A truly delightful app. This app does exactly what it advertises and makes it easy to listen to radio stations from around the world. Not only was I able to listen to radio from my home town while being halfway across the world, but the app helped me discover some cool and special stations from around the world!

Amazing App….That Works!. I was amazed. I sat for two hours straight after first getting this app listening to music from around the world. I must have tried 100 stations or more, and it was easy creating a robust favorites list. I was so impressed $2.99 donation seemed a small amount for an app I will be using several hours every day. Great job!

switching from wifi oddity. Radio Garden has become part of my daily walking exercise routine. Some ace Brussels stations. An oddity, though: when leaving the house and its wifi bubble there's an outage of around ten seconds before the streaming audio resumes on my phone. On returning to the house and wifi bubble, the transition is seamless. Why is this? What makes switching to 4G so difficult?

Great app with one recommendation. Can listen to radio stations from all around the world! Very cool and I love using Radio Garden. All around great free app without frequent annoying ads which interrupt audio playback. One recommendation/ improvement that would be great to see- when scrolling around the map it would be be ideal to have to select a radio station or city before the radio source switches instead of automatically switching to the nearest radio station as soon as I scroll around the map. Can be annoying to loose a radio station’s connection and have to find it again if I want to just have a look around the map or I accidentally move the map.

Amazing. Wow! I’m impressed by this app. I wish I knew about this app earlier will definitely be one of my most used apps now!

Amazing. Best app and idea I’ve ever seen.. hoping there will be no subscriptions or heaps of ads if it becomes more popular.

i love it Oh Soh Dearly. i do, as said above. truly blows my mind that such purity n beauty exists ! thank u 4 this prokect n furthermore making this an app

Loving this app. This app is amazing. Hundreds of radio stations available to listen. But some radio station are not accurate. It sound like its not live. Normally someone is talking in the radio but in the app no one just endlessly music

Love it. Brilliant App, discovering places I have never heard of.

Best ever. Love this app, can go all around the world in minutes!! Big thanks to the developer, great job!!

Great but Constant drop outs lately. Love this app but the station I’m listening to gets interrupted by constant drop outs

Just something u could add. Good stuff just needs a sleep timer kinda thing to turn it off after half hour or something

Glorious. Glorious app - easy to use and a fantastic variety at.your.fingertips. Download this - you won’t be disappointed.

broken. It's extremely laggy and keeps showing 'Planting Seeds' every time I move or what. Like it just constantly resets the screen for whatever dumb reason and I can't do anything. Same for the website version.

Mr Wildan Sungkar. I just want to let you know what s wrong with my apps radio ? Everytime l just want to listen and turn the globe doesn’t let me anymore? Only stay for 20 seconds only which never happened before?

Fantastic. What a fantastic radio app. Easy to use and gives access to wide range of stains around the world. Thanks so much for this great app.

Love the app. The fantastic app I am now able to listen to the radio station anywhere in the world love it

Insane ads. The ads get stuck in the middle of screen. Very annoying, as everything works great. Better just to go on web page and play there, no annoying ads

Great app and interface, could be amazing!. Love the app, great idea and execution! Would be good to see three features: song detection, cast to tv and closed caption subtitles for language learning on talkback.

Simply the best.. This a fantastic app to have on your phone I could simply listen to my favourite radio station from anywhere anytime

Amazing. It’s a free app you can play it outside the app and there’s a little ads but it’s amazing

Stop button. Brilliant app & enjoyed the ease of using it. Although not all the radios channels are available, but it still good enough to pick what to listen. My only request is, there should be both play & stop button to listen & stop listening. Currently, when I phone is on sleep, the radio is still on with music on

Must have for radio fans.. This app works flawlessly for me and is very cool. The idea is great!

Great but I can't get out of ads. When I press the x on the ads nothing happens :(

Best App. This app is amazing, you just put the circle over the dot and that’s it. You can listen to stations all over the world. This app is 10 not just 5

World’s best Radio App. I am in love with this app

Amazing app. An absolute gem. Reliable solid complete app. It’s just takes me over the clouds listing, visiting and enjoying all radio stations all over the globe. I just can’t do without it. I would buy it’s subscription without blinking. Thank you Developer 100%👌

Amazing. This app is amazing and accurate

Best Radio App. the radio that i've been looking for a long time 10/10

Wonderful. Because we can’t really travel, I came across this absolute gem of an App that gave me insight into what the world listens to. The interface is intuitive and I found myself traveling the globe listening to local stations across the planet. Surprisingly radio around the world plays a lot of North American music but there are still local artists singing in the local tongue. Give it a try, I was impressed, and the chance to travel again (even virtually) was fun.

Flawless.. Honestly the best radio app on the market.

Used to be great, ad placement sucks. Love this app, but some of the ads that pop up, the close (x) button is in a corner of the phone that can’t be tapped. So I constantly have to close the app if an ad comes up and I want to change the station.

Best Radio App There Is. I was a bit skeptical but I was pleasantly surprised! This app is amazing, the interface is simple yet modern and I appreciate the curated radio selections according to your taste. I love it!

What a waste of time. Loaded the app, followed the instructions and didn’t get a single radio station to work. Kept getting a dashed green circle around a white square with NO audio at all. Had really high hopes but they failed to deliver the goods.

CBC. Great app, I wonder where CBCRadio Toronto is 99.1 thanks

Best App ever. Best App very good idea works perfectly you deserve 5 stars 🤍🤍🤍

I have to keep deleting and re-downloading. Annoying. As above

Great app!. Radio garden is a great app to be able to listen to music from anywhere in the world. I love listening to the radio and be able to listen to my favourite radio stations!

Does not work. I downloaded this app but can’t get it to open. Is this away of youse using my location to get radio stations? Not happy.

Great App with Universal Appeal. This App should be promoted as part of a universal education program as a way of bring another way of understanding and interacting with the world. Well done!!!

Exceptional.. The greatest solution for enjoying world-wide radio imaginable!

Great. Love the app!!! Would love to hear 101 WRIF from Detroit on here tho

Amazing!!!. Far and away the best and most useful radio app out there. not only super easy to use but best for discovering stations from every place in the world.

I love it. I have heard Radio Garden for years and years. Love it with all my heart. Just the last update messed up with the ability to control by earbuds. Is it possible to put it back? Thanks!

No playing in background anymore!. App no longer supports playing in background! Devastated!

Loses a star for inability to close the ad. Love having access to radio stations around the world. HATE that the X to remove ads doesn’t work even after several minutes, and the only way to get back to the main screen is to exit the app and restart it.

Ads in paid version?!. Why do I have to listen to ads even after I purchased the paid version? Good app though. I wanted to give you 5 ⭐️

Useless. Constantly get message about server being down, please try again later. This over several days. Deleted the app.

King of radio apps. This will always be my favourite radio app. The first one I have ever seen in my life . I am in Canada but I can listen to the radios of my country of origin , a small African country , Burundi. Thanks Radio garden. You’re the the first one always.

Best live streaming, almost never loses connection , ,.. Best live streaming, almost never loses connection. HOWEVER, I find if you have been using app for free, it finds the station not available after 20 days or so. I messaged to understand if the payment was one time or monthly and did not get a response. With no response, I don’t feel secure paying via CC . Do won’t be paying for it

Good radio app. One of the best there is.

Wonderful!!!. Definitely useful, whether it be for casual listening, background music, or finding some new songs for my playlist. It’s very user friendly too! Thank you so much!

Thanks for this. Excellent concept with radio station and location on the planet. Finally a solid radio app

The best. The best radio app

Hundreds of interesting stations. From fantasy ambient music to emergency scanners, you can find almost anything.

This is so cool :D. Never been a fan of radio but I might just get into it now- especially since this app makes it so easy to listen to radio stations from anywhere in the world

Fantastic app. This is by far my favourite app on my phone. Instead of scouring over mindless social media pages and profiles, I try and find new radio stations to listen to using this app. Radio Garden is on all day in our house.

Ads!. So many ads. Every time I change stations another ad, and the paid version promises to remove only “visible” ads. Not spending the money to find out these audio ads from RG don’t disappear. Uninstalled.

Amazing. Have memories of a country you used to live in or visited and want to relive these moments well this is the app for you

Radio garden. The is the very best radio app hands down! It is especially good if you love geography/exploring the world!

Very nice app with one incovenience. If this app would be compatible with carplay, the ratings would certainly be a 5 stars

Awesome app for camping etc. This app is so great and I totally recommend you download it for long trips or even camping it works so well I love it! 5/5!

Ad support for Chromecast please. As support for Chromecast please

Recommending this. I’m listening to the 680 News in Toronto, Canada and it’s sounds very good

Unable to Load. The app gets stuck in an infinite loop in which it attempts to load (“planting seeds”) and as it starts to zoom in to your location, it slows down and fails loading, bringing up the same “planting seeds” screen. Very disappointing

best ever!!. plays radio!! anywhere on the planet!

Frustrating. Awesome app when it works. I’m constantly having to uninstall and reinstall because I only get a dead blue screen. I just reinstalled it now. I love the app, though.

Great app but. When I got it the first time it was fine but now it keeps boot looping and I can’t listen without it restarting.

Stuck in endless loop. This app used to work fine but lately when i open the app it loads like normal then before a radio station plays the screen goes purple and says planting seeds every 3 seconds and reloads and I can’t do anything about it deleted it and refreshed multiple times but does not work Other than that really good app/website

First rate app. This is simple to use but so interesting. Also taking journeys down memory lane.....listening to a station from where I grew up. Thanks

Outdated and poor support. Outdated stations and no way to add stations because they claim they don’t work. Don’t buy the ad free version. ANY radio app is better than this

Ads are locking screen. The ads don’t have a cancel or X to close them, restarting does not help as the next ad does the same. I am glad upgrade to non ad version if it’s possible. The app is fantastic.

Great but needs a sleep timer. Great app for finding radio stations but could really benefit from a sleep timer.

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

City Names. Excellent app, the only other feature I would suggest is to be able to either see names of cities next to the dots on the map or a list of city names for direct navigation.

Great interface, easy to use. Thank you for making this app! It’s my favorite radio app- quick, easy to use, and without all the ads or other unnecessary clutter. Using the world map to choose a station = genius.

Please leave it the way it was. It was Working really good until today that I saw it Updated or something, it has a new interface I guess and it’s crashing all the time, and when I press play it just freezes :/ Thank you,

Honestly amazing. I’m in love with this app, it’s really cool to be able to hear what’s playing on the radio in other countries!!!! However it could be better if is showed what stations played what languages. But aside from that is great!

Good but never remove the advertising. Despite paying to have the advertising removed, they continue with audio advertising. I am listening to a station in Colombia and I have advertising from united states and interrupts the station in Spanish. do not pay because they never remove the advertising, they only change it from images to audio.

Fantastic App. This is probably my favorite app of all time. I’m 61 years old and have enjoyed radio all my life. What a fabulous way to listen to the whole world! I use this daily and I am building a list of favorites from all over the globe!

Good idea and concept, but has issues. Great idea and very useful... but as soon as I tune a Radio Station and stay there for a few minutes, my iPhone-12 screen freezes as soon as an ad is shown, and the only possible option is to kill the app.

Emailed a concern and got a quick response!. Love this app. It did stop working at one point, but after emailing Radio Garden team, they reminded me to restart phone and I can once again access the music. Appreciate the quick response!

Absolutely love, but cannot close Discover Ad. This app is an amazing tool that I would like to promote to others, but first they need to fix the Discover card pop-up ad that absolutely will not close. It makes it impossible to use the app without first crashing it each time. Please fix this bug, devs! People love this app!

Jan 11, 2021. Wow. I just listened to live radio from Australia, Tarawa, Mail, Oman, Scotland, Norway, Ukraine, +25 others. I’m sure you could sit at a computer look up a city and find any on-line radio stations, sure. But combining a zoomable Earth with the radio inside a reticle is genius. And this is free. Again, wow.

Pleasantly Surprised. Why didn’t I discover this app a long time ago? It’s marvelous and you can listen to some very interesting local broadcasts in remote locations. I’m not sure why Vietnamese music is being played on a small radio station in Romania, but it’s cool that I can listen in.

Excellent app for listening to radio stations. My co-worker told me about this app. It’s easy to use like google earth! Things that would make the app more excellent is to bring more stations from West Virginia Radio Corporation, Cumulus Media, Townsquare Media, 7 Mountains Media, COX Radio etc. to the app and it would be more easier if the states were outlined

Love this app. I would suggest some improvements: When you zoom in, it should reveal other radio stations from the same city. Also I miss a share button and airplay button to connect with my audio devices.

Amazing language learning app. You can use this to listen to radio all over the world . Especially helpful for language learning and passive or active listening

Perfect AP for 2022!. I just found this ap and am thrilled! After 2 grueling years of a global pandemic, I’ve basically traveled no where, and it’s been awful. But with this I can travel in sound all over the world, it’s fantastic.

Love this app. It allows you to listen to different countries one thing that would make it just a bit better is if you could see the temperature as well from all over the world. Thank you 🙏🏻

Fantastic application. Perfect application to listen to live music and never have to pay for it. Even if there was a one time cost I would pay for it since finding international radio is hard to find.

Ads. Great app but I wish when you pay for ad removal it would actually remove the ads. (I’m not talking about the ads that play on the actual stations/the local ads I’m talking ads that play before you get access to a station)

Keeps freezing. I loved this app when I used it the first few times but since then it hasn’t been working. I can launch the app and listen to a few radio stations near me but as soon as I move the cursor a bit the screen turns completely blue and I can’t do anything. I know at least one other person has written a review citing the same problem. Please fix this.

THIS IS AWESOME. Just a few things you need to fix some of these stations don’t work some of them have a little bit of static or poor quality sound but other than that this app is awesome!!!!

Fantastic App :). Works very well. Good for listening to music from all around the world. Also good for any language learners (I’ve been using it to listen to Swedish talk radio to improve my understanding of spoken Swedish).

Cheesy techno music worldwide. There is one thing I have learned from using this app, and that is people all over the world love cheesy dated techno music with autotune, no matter what language they speak. I was hoping to find some cool traditional music from each country but it seems that iHeartRadio has bought the entire radio world, oh well.

How to turn off ads?. This app is my favorite radio app. But how do I pay to make the ads go away?! It would be fine if they were local station ads, but when you’re listening to radio stations in Spain or Russia, it is truly annoying to hear the same app-based ads for Lowes or Geico that must be tied to the app?

Awesome!. This app is awesome! It really connects us to the rest of the world, and I’m surprised to see how many radio stations are on here from remote parts. I never thought I’d be so excited to listen to the radio! I recommend it wholeheartedly and suggest to pay to remove adds, although they’ve never been intrusive, but just to support this app!

Waste of time. It’s could be a great apps but a lot of malfunctions you cannot put anything on favorite because he doesn’t keep anything on favorite so every time that you open the app you need to start searching again And if you slightly touching the screen it’s immediately interrupting the music and searching for another “location station”I’m Given it two stars just because it can be a great app

Unique discovery tool. This app is such a creative way to discover music and communities around the world. Recommending it to many friends! I get the ⏭ button functions as “scan” but it isn’t super intuitive, Id suggest a new function for scanning stations within a city. Thanks!

What a breath of fresh air. In the cesspool that is most of the internet, this app is a huge breath of fresh air. It enables you to scan the whole world and try different radio stations. It’s an incredible smorgasbord. Select your favorites but don’t get stuck there. Keep exploring, that’s the fun part!

WOW!. What a gift to the world! I adore scrolling over the world and choosing random places to tune in to. Not only is the music pure fun to eavesdrop on, but it makes me feel connected to the people of the world, and it is such an awesome feeling!! Thanks so much for making this app!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Forget it!! Crash and burn!!. I ran across the web based version of Radio Garden and subsequently the app from a Quora link. “Very cool,” I thought while listening on my browser, “I’ll download the app.” Big mistake! It works great until the ad pops up. That is when it freezes. Shut down, re-open, same thing in an endless cycle. Great concept that I would gladly use if it worked; but sadly I have better ways to spend my time. I’m going to find a different radio app that actually works.

Listen anyway in the World. I love this app! I've been driving my country and am able to listen to continuously! No more waiting till I get "in range" of a radio station. This app is Brilliant! Thank you!! Been using a year now!!

Exactly what I wanted!. My local public radio station (KOPB) does loooong and tiresome pledge drives every few weeks. I’m happy to pitch in & help support them, but 11 days of “gives us money, give us money” is too much. With this app, I can listen to any NPR station - Seattle, LA, Colorado, NY. I’ve even come across some new & interesting shows to check out. Love this app!

Criminally Underrated. I’ve been using this app for about a year now ! And let me tell you there is no better radio app than this in whole Appstore ! I don’t know why it’s ranked so low in music category . It should easily get a place in top 10 ! Just Love this App . Thanks To The Developers for developing such a great App ♥️

Awesome app, wish it had more connectivity. I love this app. I could spend hours perusing stations across the globe. My only wish: that it was easier in the app to switch to other devices like Sonos and that you could create an account that would transfer your favorites across devices.

Brilliance. Truly takes advantage of the capabilities of the device while providing the perfect valence between indication and information to controls. Waiting for ongoing evolutions and improvements like a better favorites experience ;). Really cool thinking hats off to the devs great work!

Kudos to Developers. I have used quite a few Radio apps before one of my friends suggested this app to me. By far this is the best experience I have. The user interface, in one word is unthinkable! So innovative, so smooth!

Definitely recommend. This app is super cool and would highly recommend but if this app had like a sleep timer to where let’s say you put in 1 hour and at the end of that hour the radio turns off that would make this app even better

Greatest App I’ve Downloaded In Years!. Music from anywhere anytime. App has no ads, has every station you could possibly think of, a search function, and best of all works when you turn your phone off or enter another app. 10/10

Decouple volume please. Love the app and the access to stations worldwide, but It would be nice if the music volume were controllable independent of the system volume. I’d like background music while my phone ringer and system alerts can be loud enough.

Best Ever…. We love Radio Garden and listen to Cannes Radio 91.5 every day. One of the nicest features is that it provides the artist name and song that is playing. Recently that feature doesn’t work. It’s stuck on Ed Sheehan playing Shivers. We’re hoping the developers will see this post and fix it. Thanks for a great App.

Outstanding App For the Radio Listener!. Radio Garden offers a uniquely functional interface, which is combined with superb audio quality and an very wide selection of both AM and FM stations. The only suggestion for improvement would be the inclusion of stations from China. Highly recommended.

Life-changing. This app is so crazy. What seems simple at first shows you what a beautiful and interesting world we live in. Do yourself a favor and download this ASAP and see for yourself!

Good app but…. The app is great, it lets allows me to listen to radio stations from my country Nicaragua, but the ads get repetitive and annoying. I understand this is how most apps work with advertising but it’s ridiculous when the same ad keeps playing over and over for like 7 minutes straight.

AMAZING App. This app is absolutely great and extremely fun. You can learn different languages, explore different music traditions that are associated with different cultures around the world! Not to mention it is just fun to listen to the same music other people are listening to around the world!

Books marks 😩. Great app however the bookmarks do not work on iPad or iPhone like a traditional bookmarking system works please fix this. Also when trying to contact the developer via iPhone or IPad the webpage is just a blue page. If they fix these two problems I will give you 5 stars.

RADIO GARDEN. Enjoy all the jazz music available on radio garden but have trouble saving stations (favorites) and loading app when leaving the sight. And unwanted real estate and other ads are difficult to get out of without shutting down and reloading RG

Great radio app. Definitely the most unique radio apps I have used, as it’s so easy to scan the globe. Randomly found a radio station in Mail and been listening for hours! I’d pay for an app like this, but the ads are not annoying and easy to close.

One issue, that's it. I love the concept and I've spent hours exploring different stations, especially those that will help me with language learning. Simple interface, sleek, well put together. My only qualm is that I wish there was a volume control. Even on the lowest volume setting some stations are still just too loud (this isn't a problem with my audio settings).

Fantastic!. I would 100% give this app 5 stars if it weren’t for one ad. It’s a Discover ad that will not allow me to exit, meaning I have to restart the app anytime I want to use the screen. It’s frustrating and the only downfall to an otherwise incredible experience.

Great app. I love exploring pop music from around the world, and rediscovering stations from places I’ve lived in the past. One nice improvement would be a native CarPlay interface for swapping between favorites and such. It’s fun driving through town with Tajikistani pop music on the radio. An AppleTV interface would also be welcome.

good idea, lacks stations. There are tons of radio stations on this app, but i've tried to find three specific radio stations and none of the three i have been able to find. they aren't particularly small stations, though maybe not the biggest. anyway idea seems good just doesn't have what i came for
