Simple Radio - FM AM Stations App Reviews

Doesn’t really broadcast what the station broadcasts. So I very much like this app for when I want to listen to music, but all too often I find that when there is a commercial break, the app broadcasts its own adds. This wouldn’t normally be a problem, but whenever I open the app, it takes the liberty of playing an ad segment, and then cuts into the middle of a song that was already playing during this so called commercial break. Another big disappointment is that if I want to tune into a baseball game on the radio, the app won’t be broadcast the game that I know is playing on that station. It just plays music that would normally be on the station. I understand that this would likely require extra deals with radio stations, but all I’m saying is that this app is not so versatile, and it doesn’t really do its job well. And if this bad review gets deleted again, I’ll be upset.

Almost there... What a gr8 App! The only way to listen to a world wide variety of music! What ever the mood you will be able to find something really great to listen to! I think it’s awesome that you can listen to stations from so many countries and as hear their news and happenings which is very interesting! Maybe even make new friends in other countries when you communicate with the DJs! I also have to say when I was having trouble getting a British station to connect-the simple radio customer service guy was so helpful! He collaborated with me and zeroed in on the issue and worked on it until it was fixed! Yay! That’s worth 5 stars!

Solid app, lacks Google casting. Had purchased a year license to this app a couple months ago because it allowed me to cast to my Google nests, but then earlier this week I noticed that feature was replaced with AirPlay. Tried to ask about it over email a few days ago but didn’t hear back. There was always some significant lag when casting, but was worth it at the time. Bummed to move on again. Edit - They fixed chromecasting. Still some lag initially when casting, but still the least bloated, most user friendly, and least expensive radio app I’ve found. I only listen to one station for the most part, and this works great for playing it on my Google nests.

Alarm please!!!. Unless you just need a bedtime timer to shut the thing off stick with the free version. The ads aren't really that big of deal. I bought the app, $3.99, stupidly thinking that "timer" meant alarm. Wrong. You are basically paying for no ads and a bedtime shutoff timer. Where's the alarm? Was hoping to can my bedside alarm clock for this app. Urghhh. I'm going to look for an app that does what this app does but has an alarm. Sound quality is great. Never lost a station. The app even cast to my Google home easily. Felt the app was a little limited on local stations but I found every station in the Dallas area that I listen to 95% of the time. Did I mention the app has no alarm!?! Below is the developers reply. Thank you. After reading I’ve found out that an alarm won’t do much since Apple has not opened the alarm app to developers. This may or may not be true. Is so the feature is useless as I discovered from another app. Used the app all day never lost signal with station. Easy to use and loving it more each day. Changing star rating from three to four.

Don’t bother. March 19th, great job on customer support & it’s good to know that they are still active & listening to customers. I had deleted the app, but after their reply, redownloaded it & it’s now working again. Ads are not an issue, as I listen to the radio & only check the app, when I change station. March 12th, 2024. This was a good app & worked well with CarPlay, but after an update, unless you subscribe, or agree to allow advertisers to snoop on everything you do & have access to your phone, it won’t work. It just goes back to the ‘Ad Preferences’ screen & wont proceed to stations. After having this app for many years, I’ll be hoping over to another one from now on.

I love it. Praise The Lord for this App; BUT OBVI it surely is ¡ Have to pay 💰 for NO 👎 advertisements 🤷🏻‍♀️ BUT there’s some that are Learnable clap & interesting 🧐 so don’t mind ONLY when they get stuck AND can’t get off my screen 📺 😆 I see there’s not much you could do about it but thank you 🙏🏼 Thanking the Lord for another day of Life especially for the air 🌬️we breath 🙇🏻‍♀️ I would like to thank this ministry so much because I can hear you all the way in New York 🗽 that I’m in may the blessings ✨🪽continue thank you sincerely a sister in Christ Damaris

Fallen Fast. I have this app now for yrs now and app has changed from when I first used it. Some of my radio stations are no longer available or just gone. This app is charging a monthly fee for upgrades but no new music station. You can get radio stations that are on Internet with out app. This app just makes it easy to put them together as you do for music play list. I’ll keep using it for music & sports till the free is gone then I will be gone also. Try it free first !

I love Simple Radio!. I can listen to my favorite stations wherever I am (as long as I have aces to wi-fi I think).. I like to listen mostly to talk radio so am happy to have so many choices from all over the country (even international). I search by keyword for talk radio subjects that I like to listen to and have found Animal Radio, a couple of science radio, classical music, classical guitar, CSPAN, and my local talk station NPR. so I am very happy to have found Simple Radio. I listen when I go to sleep, set a sleep timer on the program, and am usually asleep before the timer shuts off.

Ridiculous app that plays games with user. Why does this app have to make it a game in order to close ads? Bad enough that an add comes up each time you try to change stations but it won’t place the ad close icon in the same place. It could be an X at the top left or top right or bottom middle. The X can be very small or non existent. It could be a close button. Sometimes a video will play with a skip button that will send you to the app store. Very dangerous if you are driving or riding a bike or scooter. An unnecessary game. Play the ad put the close in the same place. If not I suggest users switch apps. Too bad because it is one of the better radio apps. I only use it when not doing anything else. I use other radio apps when I don’t want to play games to listen to radio stations.

I left TuneIn forever.. Simple Radio beats TuneIn hands-down. No ads, no shoving a subscription down your throat, just an intuitive app. Search could be improved to zero in on an exact call sign or zipcocde, but either way the design is great for channel-surfing. Perhaps the app’s biggest caveat is it’s greatest strength: no Iheart or Cumulus stations. You don’t get the corporate stations that sound exactly the same nationwide, but you also don’t get their annoying and repetitive stop sets which detract from the local flavor of the station. This is a really great app.

Love it. Want to love it more.. Great app--easy to use, and it works well!! Sometimes, a station loads, but cuts out once or several times in the first few minutes, sometimes for more than a minute. But once that's over, the connection with the station is pretty secure. Why 4 stars, then, and not 5? I wish there were more stations available. I love news, classical music, bluegrass, and baseball (to start). Baseball is or seems to be completely unavailable. Really sad. More broadly, if you don't know the. CAll numbers of a station you're out of luck; they're not listed by offerings. Drat. Keep working on it, guys---this is a keeper. Just needs tweaking.

Easy to use & versatile. I use This app daily at the office and to listen to National Public Radio, Jazz, reggae, and a host of other radio station feeds from around the world. Standard radio signals are limited but using this app with my phone I am able to get uninterrupted radio! Handy and easy to use. The only issue I see, and it is a minor one, is that NPR tends to cycle through the same few shows repeatedly. And this differs from the NPR feed I get when in my car. I would highly recommend Simple Radio, especially those who live or work in concrete or other type structures that can block radio waves.

Battery hog.. This app keeps on killing my battery -- per my battery usage in iOS settings. It's worse than Instagram or Facebook!!! If this keeps on happening I'll be uninstalling this app and never using it again at this had happened before over a year ago and the developer allegedly addressed the issue. Response to developer regarding video ads interrupting live audio stream and asking for example: Play a WhatsApp voice note as the simple radio stream doesn't replay automatically after the video ad unless you switch back to the simple radio app and interfere which is very annoying abd not the typical behavior of other streaming apps. Please test and fix VIDEO ADS Please get rid of the annoying ads interrupting VIDEO ads. They interrupt live music streams FIXED 6.1.3 update is messed up. With this updates the app doesn't open, crashes immediately. iOS 15.5

Always reliable. I have been using this radio player for several years now and have enjoyed using it even outside of the U.S. where I live. A few years ago, while on holiday in Europe, listened to local radio stations back home for news on the hurricane that was affecting our home town. Its super easy to use, and most importantly, extremely reliable. I’ve found this player to be far more reliable than ones you would pay for and it continues to get better if that’s possible. I was especially surprised to find that the maker of this app is also very responsive and if ever correspondence, a quick reply. Who could ask for more? I like it. I’m very thankful for this app.

With respect:. I appreciate this app, but it does have things that are really annoying. I understand the need for ads, if we don’t want to pay the membership fee. But, if I reject an ad from Facebook, Audible, etc., I have to continue to reject it multiple times in one single program, for days or even weeks. Evidently they just don’t get it: I’m not interested in that product. Furthermore, because of their badgering, I am more determined that I will never be interested. On another issue, The signal keeps dropping out constantly, and will not automatically reset. I have to go into the phone and re-start it every couple minutes. Literally — every couple minutes. It doesn’t matter what Wi-Fi I use at home or at work. We have a lot of high quality Wi-Fi, and my Wi-Fi at home is very good too. I end up having to use data on two new smart phones. Thank you for making this available, but a lot of times I think about switching to some other app.

Good alt to tune-in radio. ads that take over screen at each new station are how free version is supported. If a user gets a free online service the advertisers are the real customer and the users are actually a targeted audience. First found Simple Radio after driving through SW Virginia Oct 2015 and hearing WVTF 1260 am NPR affiliate over the air. Now I can listen with ISP as I haven't been in terrestrial reception range since. Good alternative to I heart radio too except for stations I heart media(Clear Channel Media) owns and monopolizes internet streaming of their stations.

Simple radio. This app is quickly becoming my “go to” app for listening to internet radio. As it’s title suggests, it’s very simple to use. If you already know the name of your favorite station, just search for it. If you just want to browse, then pick one of the many genres and browse till you find what you want. The only drawback so far is no listing of the song being played or the artist. Sometimes you hear a song you love, but don’t don’t the name of the song or the performer. Would be nice if it was listed somewhere. Small detail, but it’s one I miss. Other than that, a great app.

Thank You, for all you do❣️🙏🏼✝️🦋🙂. Thank you all, ~for sharing what The Lord God Almighty, would have you to share!! Thank you for all you do!! I believe The Lord is using this radio to host the radio stations, ~that He would have you all to share, in The Light of His Holy, Wonderful, Mighty, and So Precious Name, and all for His Honor, Praises, and Glory, for His dear children, ~wherever they may be!! **I hope and pray that He will continue to keep it going, and to proclaim for The King of kings, and Lord of lords, and all for His Glory, not mine, as we go through our daily lives, in His Holy Name, Hallelujah, Amen❣️🙏🏼✝️🙂🦋

Good, but ads make the free version unusable. Others have pointed out many good aspects of this app. I will only add this: The free version is not usable unless you're okay with ads popping up every time you change stations or every few taps as you search for new ones. Nothing is free, and I'm happy to pay for apps whether it's with reasonable ads or via an upgrade fee. But wow! As I explored this app the same ad kept popping up over and over and over and over, and I got more and more ticked off. I'd rather upgrade because I love the app and I want to support the app developer, not because the ads harass me into it, a la Pandora. That just makes me leave. My 2 cents.

A Great App with One Major Gap. This is one of the best of the radio apps. Very easy to use, uncluttered, responsive and stable. There are others with more features, but none are easier or more reliable than this one. The gap is that it lacks a way to skip back. For listening to spoken word (NPR, Fox, news, talk radio), this is extremely vexing. A bit of noise, someone want to talk in person, a phone call, and the thread is lost. Nearly every other audio app offers 15s or 30s skip back and forward (within a limited buffer), but not this one. In consequence, as much as I love the simplicity of this one, for daily use I struggle with the complexity of TuneIn, because the skip back function is too valuable to live without.

Audio not playing like it used to. It seems like either a Simple Radio update, or an iOS update (16.3) has changed a couple of things which impair its usefulness. - radio stops playing when you switch to Home Screen or a different app or put the screen to sleep. My primary purpose for radio is to listen to it while doing something else. - audio does not play if phone is set on mute / vibrate (used to not matter) - some advertisements have audio, conflicting with the radio station - app now seems to cache audio (if I switch out briefly, then back, it continues played at that time delay, not catching up to the “live” broadcast), which is more bizarre than useful…

Works very well, but a few suggestions.... This is a wonderful app! Fast, responsive, easy to use. Some annoyances, on the free version, some of the ads were videos, which is a contending audio source which sometimes disables the radio feed, then leaves it off. Make sure the ads don't make their own audio outputs. And the timer feature on the paid version is nice, but one nicer idea is a scheduling timer, something that selects favorite station at a given time, and allows the user to create a schedule of what audio streams automatically start. TVs have this feature, this app would benefit also. Great app, love it. Thank you for your great work over there.

You bring me hone to my roots. Been in Florida for 35 years, Bronx made, born and native. Loud n proud of my Bronx and all we are about, Cocola y orgullosa, oh your station brings me back to my child hood days, fire escape hot summer nights, hand ball hustle for my $ to pay my way in to clubs n salsa all night. All the way back to salsa on roller skates, Yessss I love every second of tuning in. From Leesburg Florida living lake side in the country surrounded by RED NECKS, yes Red Necks, I tune in , crank up the volume n get to fishing, trimming, weeding and enjoy my neighbors shaking their butts to your tunes n my roots. Love life n love you all. God bless

Captain c. Got the free app and was disappointed. The way they display the ads is what ticks me off. With my car radio not working, I'm using this app. As you're listening, out of the blue it cuts off. So I reach for the phone and what's there? An ad. So you click the "X", or the "no thanks" to close the ad and continue listening, 10 minutes later, repeat... Very annoying when trying to drive and have to close all the ads just to listen to this app. In an hour drive this happens 3 to 5 times, always right before the part you want to hear it seems. Other apps the ads are there, but doesn't cut off what you are listening to just so you will acknowledge the ad! I'm deleting this one. It's not a "hands free" while driving friendly app. Someone is going to crash their car while acknowledging the ads.

Why still ads?. I am a paying subscriber. I joined on the promise, as I understood it, that this paid membership would eliminate the ads ADDED by Simple Radio. But those ads still come in. Here is a scenario. I am listening to a talk show on my car radio. I arrive at my destination. To keep listening as I exit the car I launch the Simple Radio app tuned to the same radio station. I don't want to miss a word. But Simple Radio plays an ad first - an ad not playing on the car radio. I know this ad is not from the broadcast radio station because when the ad ends the talk show comes in mid-sentence. I tried to contact Simple Radio with this complaint but I couldn't get past their defenses against contact with an actual human.

What happened. Hello, I have had simple radio for about 2 yrs now. up until now the app has been fine, ever since the latest update(either on your end or iPhones updated end)the app WAS great, now every time I have an alarm go off simple radio completely stops playing and DOES NOT start playing again after I turn alarm off(it used to just start playing automatically again) not only that but when I enter simple radio I have to switch stations and switch back to the one I was listening too in order for it to continue playing. Also, on the lock screen there used to be the play/pause button as well as next station, that no longer exists(I now have to unlock phone and go into simple radio for everything). I don’t know what the hell happened, but the interface for simple radio is completely jacked now.

Ads. This is an app you'll pay for rather than put up with their obnoxious approach at shoving ads in your face. It's pretty much the same across all radio apps which appear to exist solely to collect on clicks. Compounding it for me was the ads were from ambulance chasing lawyers. They make me puke. I trashed the app after 3 ads got served up within less than my first 2 minutes with the app. Just a thought: Make sure you're paying because you want to use the app rather than get rid of the obnoxious ads. I've found with radio apps the basic app is nothing special and not worth any money (it's free in the music app and that one has a better interface and more functionality).

Wanted to love it. I hate this app more and more every day. I listen to KTSA pretty much all day, but this makes it hard. It keeps cutting out for no reason, or dumb reasons like adjusting the volume on my iPhone. It also makes multi-tasking difficult. With IHeartRadio I can go into my email, Google, Facebook, etc. and the radio keeps playing as long as I don’t go into a video. This one now cuts out if I just go into Google! It is better now that you don’t have to listen to that annoying Kinetico ad that came on when you opened the app, but it’s annoying that when you tap to open the app you have to wait until an ad comes on screen and you have to then manually close that ad before the radio plays. I guess I’m just so used to things moving rapidly and don’t like that I can’t tap to open and walk away.

Simple as can be. Very simple app. I bought the commercial free version because it lasts forever (unlike TuneIn that thinks that free radio streams rate a monthly fee). I appreciate the simplicity because when I want to listen to a radio station I don’t want to have to sort through menus. Not a bug free experience though. For some reason, the status bar will occasionally fail to appear when a station starts to play. Not a problem if listening on your phone but a showstopper if you are trying to cast to your home/car stereo. I actually came here to give a 1-star review and complain but at the last minute realized that if I tap the favorites button the status bar will appear. So... four-stars and a bug-report because I do like this very simple app and the developer seems responsive to feedback.

Very nice app!. On my car radio I was having trouble with my reception in regard to a jazz station I had found recently. As I got closer to home the reception got worse. So I decided to do a search on this station with the idea that Instead of depending on my automobile receiver to listen to this station, maybe I could just stream it directly from the station via my phone. But when I did the search and went to the jazz station website, they recommended this app for streaming. And I'm glad they did!

Disappointed now. Used to live this app, any radio station I wanted. But 2 days ago and after the last update it won’t connect and tells me that these stations are no longer available. I guess it’s time to move to another app. Update: Just tried it again and it’s back and I’m super happy about it. But not sure if it’s you it sends the reports to but when it says we will let you know when it’s back up and running then you should make that happen. Don’t know if it’s my phone or you just have no way of sending it but it’s just something that would be nice. Thank you for a great simple app. Not a whole lot of bells and whistles to deal with.

Well designed app with lots of choices. Persistently annoying ads on free version.. I really like the app overall for its design and large list of stations. Unfortunately, the ads on the free version are annoying beyond belief. It seems every time you switch a station you get a pop-up ad that obliterates the menu it won’t let you opt out of it until it’s finished playing. I don’t mind short ads, but this stuff is over the top. If there were shorter ads, I would certainly give this a five star rating. And please get rid of the full screen video ads that won’t let you opt out.

Simple Radio is FANTASTIC!!!. Simple Radio is FANTASTIC!!! It allows me to have all my favorite radio stations on one app-with surprisingly minimal ads!!!(and whilst using MUCH less storage space) The ONLY thing I have an issue with is that EVERY TIME I change the radio station, (to see what else there is playing, you know EXACTLY what I’m talking about here;) it INSTANTLY plays an ad, EVERY STATION! Don’t get me wrong, it does it VERY cleverly, with no audio, just the ads video, but still an annoyance when I want to flip thru stations to see what else there is on at that time… Other than that, ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!

app lost the ability to run in the background. I have been using this app for a while now, and I like it that I can listen to music around the world on it. Another reason I like is because I can play this app on the background while I browse the net or facebook. I also often lets music play on this app while I work. Today, it lost this capability. If i let my ipad idle and the screen goes black, the music shuts off; or if I use another app, the music also shuts off. This app demands the screen to be on all the time to work, which destroys the purpose of "radio" for me. I guess it is time to go back to Pandora or find another radio app. It is a pity since I really like this app.

Actually Does What It Says (and does it well). I normally put up with ads on free apps and rarely rate apps. While Simple Radio's free version is more obnoxiouly aggessive with its ads than most free apps, it does perform exceptionally well. On many apps (even the NPR Public Radio Tuner), my favorite (and sometimes obscure) stations aren't even listed. For a while I was using an Indian app that allowed me to enter the URL and port # of the streaming service, but these data were often hard to find. Everything I want is in this app's database and so far works as advertised.

Reliable performance and good selection. This is a very good app for people who like to listen to actual radio stations from around the world. The selection of stations is very broad and the performance is reliable with zero crashes so far (unlike a competitor app). Why not a 5 star rating? 1.) No podcasts. 2.) Certain big-time stations (like 890 WLS) are not available (maybe a conflict with iHeart?). 3.) Annoying ads that pop up at the beginning of most streams, but they're easy enough to close and I realize they have to get revenue from somewhere. 4.) Some of the streams don't have the best audio quality, but they're still quite listenable for those of us used to the quality of actual AM radio. 5.) Some of the streams just don't work. Not sure why. But, all in all, still a pretty good app.

Great App!. This app is AWESOME! You can listen to your favorite station across town or Elvis, the Beatles or the Stones from Moscow. All three are outstanding stations. If you want an ALARM, get the clock/alarm app. which has all the features you need to wake up. I don’t need a radio app to wake me up. Set your alarm, hit snooze and touch the screen for radio. If the goal is to wake up, being conscious enough to hit snooze and click on the radio is a good start. Of course, if this app would make coffee and set out my shoes, it would be perfect. I can listen to any station on earth (almost) and sync to the radio in my vehicle and listen to anything I want. Who needs Sirius XM? This is Satellite radio as it was meant to be.

It was great. No longer simple. The free app no longer plays when app is not displayed on the screen. Also now stops playing if the screen is not on (burning through your battery) showing add. Both issues can be fixed by paying their subscription. There are still breaks (disconnects) in music play back even with paying and commercials. Further disappointment in undocumented fact that each on my devices have to pay subscription. Looking for replacement app. Response to developer: I have been using app for weeks at a time for 6 months. The app did work without any issues AND NO subscription. The prior versions played with screen off and if I used another app. I have only updated app and NOT iOS. The subscription does seem to work across multiple iOS devices but app still shows incorrectly that it wants you to subscribe.

Superb rating. I have a favorite radio station for music. When I drive out of range during a particular song, or want to walk away from the radio, I con continue listening to it through this phone application. I love having the mobility! I initially found this application looking for an old time mystery and suspense channel. I have shared this site with coworkers and clients that might want to find music or programs they didn’t know might still be broadcasted. Thank you for making this available.

Worlds best jazz. KNKX Tacoma-Seattle has the worlds best Jazz and pared with Simple Radio you are in the studio with the artist! It all started in Tacoma at Pacific Lutheran University many years ago but the university decided to sell. The listeners loved it so much they raised enough money and took over, to become a publicly owned independent station. They moved the station into a lovely downtown Tacoma studio but out grew their space and were lured to Seattle, a short drive north of Tacoma but it was all Tacoma’s baby! We don’t mind sharing, after all it’s still the world’s BEST JAZZ station. It sounds amazing on Simple Radio as I do my gardening in the afternoon. A fan from the beginning on Fox Island. VK

Love ! But .... Absolutely love this app! The ads weren’t a major deal but I still paid extra just because I love the app so much. I’ve told a lot of people on my campus about downloading the app cuz we have a campus radio show, Simple radio makes it easy for my friends that are outta state and not in town at the moment to still catch the show! So major game changer( we will do a commercial for you guys is you wanna sponsor 😌😂) BUT It would be dope to have timer/reminder for radio stations. Like if our. Show starts at 7pm then a reminder 30 min before( that the user can set) would send a notification that your favorite show is coming on soon. That’s all I can think of right now ! But love the app keep it up!

My opinion. You guys are doing a great job making our Yoruba language and songs to be heard where I am, I am about 5300 mikes away from home but I still feel I’m home. Thank you once again for this. But I have a suggestion. You play more of Sunny Ade’s song and even it is very repetitive, which makes me turn off the app at times when I’ve heard a song over and over again. You do Fela’s songs and some other ones, I will commend you on that. But Please also play music from other legends like Orlando Owoh, Ebenezer Obey etc. Thank you so much. God bless you all.

Best radio. It does not cut out, search, etc. You can download a radio station from anywhere. The app has great sound volume. You can set up your own amplifier whatever you need to do. The only thing is when you’re listening to the weather you have to remember what station you’re listening to or you might scare ya lol. I plug my Bluetooth speaker into my phone and listen to it all day long! If a station is playing a song, I don’t necessarily care for then I just choose a different station.

Development ideas.... App seemed fine in the five minutes (or less) I had it on my phone. Didn’t bother to keep it as it doesn’t have any but like 3 local channels. I would’ve thought about keeping it had it had 104.1 on in NE Ohio. Also, the UI was funky on my phone (iPhone XR). The three tabs on the bottom were squished for some reason. And the search results could be organized better. It’s annoying to look through the whole list to see if a local station is there if there isn’t a way for it to be organized. Didn’t notice any ads as other people complained about, but that’s probably because I only had it for a few minutes.

Last morning with radio DJ - wouldn’t connect. I am so sorry to be that person but I was really disappointed this morning when the station wouldn’t connect. After nearly 50 years, the morning show DJ of 92.1 wdla is retiring after his show today. I was so excited when I saw you streamed the show, but after multiple attempts in the app and browser versions, it won’t connect. I was really looking forward to hearing his last show today. I know you are very busy, I was just disappointed today, especially after seeing all the great reviews it has. I also tried another station, and while it connected, nothing came through. This definitely could have been the station itself but it was frustrating.

PLEASE auto-dismiss the Ads!. The app works exactly as hoped, easy to find stations, Favorite them, and re-arrange them in custom list order. BUT!.... The Ads NEVER auto-dismiss! PLEASE AUTO-DISMISS THEM AFTER 1 MINUTE! The Ad will stay up for hours unless you tap a tiny "X" in the top corner. If a full screen ad pops up and takes up 100% of the display, it will stay up snd never never leave, unless you take your eyes off the road when driving, and tap your finger on the tiniest "X" imaginable. And careful, if your finger touches any other part of the ad, you will probably inadvertently launch the advertisers website. The Developer claims that is part of their "ad experience".. I doubt advertisers specifically request that their ad never disappears for over an hour unless a driver takes eyes off road to touch screen. WATCH OUT! I almost crashed into a Big Truck because I neededto touch a popup ad that hijacked my screen! CRASH BOOM AHHHHHH!

Radio Review. I Have Really Enjoyed Curtin FM in Perth, Australia, Since I Discovered it about a Year Ago, on The Internet! I’m an American who lives in Oregon. I Listen as Often as I Can. Despite a Huge Time Difference! They Play The Music That I Grew Up with in the 1960’s and 1970’s. And Still Love to Hear, Today! What is Special is that unlike most Oldies Stations, they Don’t Just play The Familiar Hits by The Artists. But they Play Many Lesser Known Songs that I have Never Even Heard Before! Everyone There is to Nice to Talk to and does a Great Job. Especially My Friend Tom! I Hope to Visit Perth and Tom, Someday and Say Hello in Person! Keep Up The Great Work! One of Your American Listeners, Michael 😊

Cannot listen to a reliable or consistent stream. Simple Radio is the only way to listen to a local AM station. However, I cannot listen to a reliable or consistent stream. I try to listen on an apple iPhone 11 Pro and an apple iPhone iPhone 14 Pro with the latest software. My home Wi-Fi is extremely strong and my cellular connection typically has three or four bars, so that’s not an issue. I understand the need for ads in the free version, but the only reason I need to use this app is to stream one local radio station. I would not mind paying a small fee to upgrade if the app worked, but I am not going to pay for an app that cannot give me a reliable stream to a radio station that’s 2 miles from my home. Please tell me why the stream constantly stops. Please tell me why I need to constantly pause, start, restart, the app and listen to dead silence. I can already do that with a dead phone. Why should I use Simple Radio to do the same thing? I look forward to your response, and potentially using your consistent streaming app in the future.

My morning coffee and my evening relaxation tea. Through this app I listen daily to NPR (National Public Radio) en general and to WFDD in particular for my region. That the first thing I start my day with, the last thing I do before "closing" my mind for the day. This app holds throughout the day. I observe from time to time some freezes and some sudden stops but nothing "insurmountable ". I even suspect those glitches may be due to my devices rather than to the application (in use all day long). I love the access to music stations as well. I'm very pleased with this app. Kudos! 😊

I give 2 stars, here is why. I paid for premium years ago when it was a 1 time fee for life. Now it seems they are trying to get out of that agreement. I constantly have to hit “renew subscription” which appears to work but the app certainly does not act like a premium version. I have an iPhone X. The app does not reconnect on its own if the connection is dropped. This is especially dangerous when driving. I cannot recommend this app to anyone who wants to use it in their car while driving. You may wind up trying to reconnect to what you are listening several times while driving which I have experience. The app does not reconnect automatically to what I am listening to if connection is lost at home. Are they still honoring premium prescriptions for people like me who were sold the 1 time deal or has a bait and switch been pulled and now that’s why it doesn’t keep connection when driving and requires manual reconnection?

Magic. Been using this since I realised Clyde 1 & 2 were accessible but for some unknown reason, both Clyde 1 & 2 have been removed. Still clear and concise with no drop outs.

For me, So close. I’m not sure if it’s an app thing or just where I am in the world but I’d happily pay for the subscription if the channels ran smoothly off my phone data. On wifi no problem. Great app.. probably will buy eventually

The App That’s King of Spam Ads. This app used to be great, but just like many other apps, has given way to spam adverts to become one of he worst. I don’t have any problems with the app using adverts, but when you try clearing the adverts from your screen, but it then takes you automatically to the sellers website, it is simply a pathetically low act.

Best radio. Very good use of your time and you can follow all the new economic updates ,listen to different type of news and songs.

We’ll done and thank you!. Perfect app to receive radio stations you live but can’t receive properly over the airwaves in your area. Thank you so much Simple Radio 😃🤗🙏🏻

Great, but needs account login. I love this app! Being able to listen to my favourite radio stations from all around the world where ever I am including on Apple CarPlay is just about the most amazing thing ever. I use the Streema service online, and have numerous radio station side as favourites. This app would really benefit from being able to access those saved favourites, as it would save me from having to search for the stations in the event that I have to reinstall the app on my device.

Simple radio. I have had this product, for some time, however there is a problem the X to get rid of the add sits over the time icon on my Ipad, no matter how many times I tap the X makes me have to reboot the ipad, just to change radio station.

Tick Tick Tick. As the name suggests it’s simple but that’s what’s best about it. Find a station, save it as a favorites, sort them in any order. Simple and intuitive Plus it’s Apple CarPlay friendly as well as Apple Watch for east on the go control 👍

App not working. Yesterday I was listening to this app and it kept closing down and coming back up and I was receiving commercials. I deleted the app and re-installed and now they want to charge me again for the subscription even though I have paid for one until Feb 2023. Has anyone else experienced the same?

Great variety from any country, I recommend it to my friend.. I endeavour to use this feature of Simple Radio every day, the reason being that I can tune into my favourite channels, locally, or TuneIn to channels in countries that I visited. Great work thank you so much.

Awesome! But just one thing.... It would be great if I could see text underneath the radio station saying what song I’m listening to. Just like the old radio app I was using. Thank you Simple Radio!

Radio over night. I find it so frustrating that the radio cuts out all the time especially if you are listening to an important comment or conversation. I have gone back to my clock radio by my bedside. No problems with that connection. Let me know when you are able to fix the problem & I will return using it

From Australia. This station is fantastic song i have never heard are all on this great station All the old songs that you never hear on the radio all here in one great song list

Digital Radio Stinks ! 🤧. Despite all the Media Hype about How Great Digital Radio 📻 would Be - I personally Have found Digital Radio JUST TERRIBLE ❗️ 👎😫 Some Stations like 2GB take Ages to Download, the Sound Quality is Poorer than Analog, And this is True Especially for Classical Music ! 🙁 But the WORST aspect for me is that each Station inexplicably Drops Out - ie it Disconnects Very Frequently❗️— Approximately 15 to 20 Times an Hour ❗️— I have no idea Why this Occurs❗️ But IT Does - NOT Due to Low Signal 📶 Strength Either I believe - because Many other Internet Hookups like Movies and Infowars Play Well on my IPhone and Other Apple Devices ! 👍 However , as I said some time ago - my old ‘50s RCA Victor Radio played IMMEDIATELY !! It played On Time , Every Time ❗️👍 Better Still ! , It NEVER Dropped Out ❗️✌️😅 So- Down with Digital Radio❗️🥴 Pray for Peace ! 🧘‍♂️ Robert. 🧘‍♂️

Inconsistent radio. I’m consistently restarting this app, rebooting my iphone just to get any sound from this app, which doesn’t always work. So inconsistent...sometimes it just stops for no reason. Very frustrating indeed!!

4crb. Have always enjoyed 4crb song selections-during this last week I have been stuck in hospital and have had the overnight music stream straight to my hearing aids. The fantastic instrumentals have kept me company and made this hospital stay much more bearable. I always love to hear Hilton every morning at 6.45. Thankyou 4crb. Margaret Bennett -Hall.

Great App. I often listen to radio stations all over the world. so enjoyable & enjoy listening to up to date news stories! Highly recommend

Making home feel a little closer. I am so grateful for this app. I can listen to the stations from my home town. Thanks for helping me feel like home is not that far away.

Annoying. The app works well but the adds have moved the x to close them to a spot in the top left corner that won’t work most of the time. So fed up with having to restart app to change Chanel’s. Please add close button next to open This is still a problem. Is it that difficult to move the x down a little bit.

Close to perfect. So, the drawback is, increased power consumption (reduced battery stamina/time), due to continuous data comm’s for the audio. Dim or close/blank/lock display to extend play/operation of phone. The add’s are a minor issue, as they don’t interfere with the audio, and as this is effectively a ‘transistor radio’ app’, you’re not going to be watching the screen. Network at home/work? Use WiFi, to reduce tel’co’ data charges, and improve data throughput/connection, although that will also increase battery drain (when not mobile, connect charger). OMT; I’ve used this app’ for over a year, and it hasn’t crashed or faulted. 👍

Only a Few Come Close. This is the best, you can get your favourites any where in the world and they match you up with similar local stations.

Always listen to your show. Love listening to your show carn’t wait from one week to the next ,My wife often has a couple of requests for her and her friend her friend died of cancer Margaret is my wife and Barbara was her friend that died two weeks ago . Chris Haby

Radio app. Great app. Any station you want is there plus it has a sleeper timer which is great for when you go to bed and fall asleep after a few minutes listening to your favourite station.

The App recently stop working from the background. I love this app while I am driving and have my navigation app running at the same time. However, recently it stops working from the background.

Simple is spot on. You can find anything, make a station your favourite and boom it’s there for you every time. Quality

Very Entertaining. I like listening to the radio each and every day. There is plenty of variety and it keeps one’s interest.

A musical nostalgia. Old songs bring memories of era long gone - of childhood , of young days , of school- college days , of days when we were getting to know the meaning of life - it’s joys and it’s sorrows ! Thanks to the channel for making refreshing audible treasure available. 😌🙏

Great app - just one addition needed. This is a really good app. Fast and reliable. I had been using another radio app but it became unreliable (drop outs) and too many ads to listen to before each broadcast. So I went looking for an alternative and found this one. No issue at all. The only thing I would like to see though is the ability to pause and rewind/fast forward, like the other app that I use to use had. Very handy when listening to talk back type radio etc.

Best Online Radio. I’ve been listening to my favourite radio stations through Streema for many years now. Streema has the biggest variety of radio stations and quality is excellent. Thankyou Streema.

John Stuart. I discovered magic on a recent trip to Christchurch, and since coming home i listen when ever I can in the car or just relaxing at around the home. Keep up that great music from a magical time. Aussie John

Great App. I’ve been using it for a couple of years. No problems to date. Just that it always opens with an ad - but that’s not an issue. Good app, happy to recommend it. 👍

Bill Shaw. I think the station is absolutely the cats pyjamas, I recommend it to all my friends in NZ every day, ,when we were in NZ on holiday in 2019 my sister in law played it on the car radio constantly,why everyone in NZ hasn’t discovered something so fabulous leaves me flabbergasted, it would destroy any radio station in Queensland!

Best choice, minimal talking. I love this station! It accompanies me all day, on headphones when I go out. The choice of music is sublime, not too many top 100, no Schoenberg. Finding this radio station enriched my life!! Here in Australia we have to put up with the government station ABC and the obscure tastes of the presenters who love to hear themselves talk. I praise modern technology to be able to escape. Gratefully yours.

Joe. I’m from NZ living and working in Perth WA. I listen to Coast it is better than any of the airwaves over here. It gives me a boost when I need it. And it keeps me up to date with the News. I’m listening now as write this review.👍 💯%

World travel is Available. With world wide travel restriction due to COVID .. I travel on around the world on simple… for me its a travel experience its not the same as actual travelling but the experience does put a smile on my face

Brilliant clear sound. Have been using this app for many months now. Has every great country station I every want to listen too. Great quality sound also

Best thing since Marconi invented long distance radio. Despite the advent of TV, internet and global media feeds, there is still something magical about being able to listen to voices, sounds and non-curated content from around the world. Simple radio brings this magic straight to you in a format that is as easy to use as turning the dial on your old vacuum-tube radio set.

Uk to Australia. I listened to this station when I lived in the Uk and now in Australia. Great station. Please say hello to my family in Uk the Searle’s, Gray’s and Symm’s and all my extended relatives, cousins and friends. We are 7 hours ahead , so I catch the night songs , which I love .

Internet radio.. Seems to have huge connection issues that need to be ironed out if this option is going to provide a satisfactory service. It seems “off line” too often. Most frustrating and very annoying to say the least. Also the sound quality is not up to par for a professional radio station in 2018 ! Your main opposition runs rings over you in nearly all areas. You need to up your game please. Thank you.

Unwanted advertisements. If I pay this one time payment will you be forcing me to upgrade again by interfering with my listening time. is this a lifetime payment Please respond as I am concerned about any ongoing payments Thank you Valerie Cameron

Great service for those that want to know.. I have been using Simple Radio for a couple of years and I find it the best for staying informed. I listen to keep up to date on national (Australian ) and international news and current affairs. Try it for yourself.

Best online Radio. I have been using Simple Radio for a very long time. I listen to my back home overseas stations and local stations and it works absolutely well. I really want to thank Simple Radio. THANK YOU.

Great streams need music info. Love the channels and it is a reliable player. I do wish that the app or the streamed stations gave information about the piece being played

Awesome. I’m blind have heaps of struggles plus living in kilmore vic I am not able to get access to things in life that I like. Having access to 3DB helps me relax and to not feel so left ou with all this tec, I would recommend this free radio service as I can not only listen to 3DB but I can tune in to vision Australia, without this services I know I would find life just that more lonely.

The best app - giving so much pleasure. Simple Radio has provided us with so much listening pleasure - no more stations unclear or hard to receive - but clear beautiful listening from anywhere in the world whatever your taste. We’ve recommended Simple Radio to many friends who now enjoy the same pleasure. Thank you for continuing to provide this service you deserve our 5 star rating.

Awesome App. Thank you so much for making such a great app, I always missed listening to Indian FM channels, this app gave me access to all the Hindi and Punjabi FM channels around the globe. It would be even better if we could create something like playlists to group different channels together. I mean if I can save Punjabi channels in one folder, Hindi and English in others.

Record feature. I have this app and been using it for a long time. I recommended it to a friend of mine as my version I paid for the upgrade and have the record feature. He intended to install for the upgrade but the record feature is no longer there? I have not yet done the update as I do not want to loose the record feature. Has it now gone??

Something is going on.... I’m rating it 4 stars because it used to be awesome (I would have given it a 5) but since last week I noticed it stops playing when I switch the screen off or even going to another app which is very annoying and makes it unusable at times, leaving the screen on not only uses more battery but shows constantly either the radio screen or and ad. Can we get it back to what it was?

Needs the ability to control sound output. I can’t select the sound to go to an Airplay device through the app. Instead I have to use Apple Music to select the Airplay device, then go back to Simple Radio and hit play.

Love this simple app. I’m a radio person and much prefer it to other forms of media so I extra appreciate this simple and fun app that gives a gzillion radio stations you can listen to in one place. And of course you can make a favourites list :-).

Love. Love this station from Canada

Around the World Everyday . . .. Travel the world with SIMPLE-Ly MUSIC

Excellente app!. J'ai testé 3-4 apps et c'était la meilleure! Bon design, simple et intuitif. synchronisation parfaite des favoris sur l'Apple Watch, j'écoute les stations en faisant du sport. Il est possible de chercher les stations par leur code, c'est pratique pour trouver exactement ce que l'on cherche. Possibilité d'installer la version iPad sur le Mac 👌 J'écoute les stations aussi en travaillant. Si vous aviez une version Mac ce serait l'idéal je crois. Et si l'on pouvait se connecter à un compte pour profiter de l'abonnement sur tous nos devices et que les favoris soient synchronisés. Je teste votre version gratuite un peu et je pense bien m'abonner si la bonne expérience se poursuit, belle job!! 🙂

Lose connection. There are many times I’m listening and I lose the connection

CKLW. We are 2 retired people from Windsor Ontario. We travel a lot in our travel trailer and spend winters at our home in Florida. Listen to Mike & Meg every morning for news and happenings at home. We never miss a Spitfire game. Love Steve Bell. Therefore, we love CKLW. ALSO love watching Mike & Meg on YouTube in the mornings.

OMNIPRESENT. Seems like no matter where I travel kas long as I have an Internet connection I can use Simple Radio to bring me back to hear stations that I have enjoyed like Home, my favourite vacation spot, my children’s residence and many more.

Simple Radio. More than enough to choose from!

Slow and buggy. Takes a long time to connect and looses sugnal

Commentaires. Sa coupe en osti

Even if you pay you will get ads. Very disappointed as I have been paying for this app to avoid ads and now they started showing ads so breach of contract. I Will expect a refund and take measures to get my money back, just not right to screw people over like that

Truck services. I have a company and I prefer this app and radio station

The best. I have been using this and if you love listing to music or sports this is the place, if you pay you can even add your own radio station, but if you want podcasts use tune in radio or Spotify.

No option for similar recommendations. Fails to

Bon. Très bon

Ads. Way too many ads covering the main screen

R A D radio. Great selections !!!

Music. The best choice for music! Dig it!! Love it all

Not pickup up a risk FM/AM signal. This is purely an online based radio gathering app. Meaning it does not have access to live radio frequencies, majority of radio stations online have delayed programming or recorded therefore you won’t be able to catch a frequency live.

Dropped Feed. Every few days, stops after after 10-20 seconds. After reengaging, happens again. So I stop listening/using. Ok today!

Full pin. Listening from norther Ontario Love it

Has to improve the feed. Very great app, a LOT of stations avalaible. I noticed a problem when the wifi connection is too weak and my iPhone switches to LTE ; the feed stops. Same thing when wifi comes back.

Mieux avant les annonces. L’app était parfaite avant qu’elle soit bombardée d’annonces…

Radio. Wonderful to hear radio from where ever I am

Best App. Great All! Helps bring the whole world to me!

Love it. Lots of choices of different music

All I Could Ask For. I am Eighty yrs old and your app allows me to listen to the music of my generation and feel sorry for those who only have access to commercial radio. BTW “Buffalo Bob brings back fond memories from his days at WKBW Buffalo🤠

Premium $ has ads still. Don’t be fooled with “Premium” no ads. They force you to view ads in Premium before getting access to your channel list. Shame.

Awsome app. Evrything you need if your a music lover this is what your looking 100 %

Works with voiceover. For someone who is vision impaired or blind this is very easy to use with voiceover and highly recommend it

Brilliant. Radio as an app is so useful. Highly recommended

Paid for this...... Music stops after every while

Screen off - sound off. The latest update (December’24) brought an irritating feature: the moment your screen goes off, the sound stops. I loved this app for giving us visual ads that did not interrupt the mood like audio ads do. It seems that they wanted to have us stare at the screen non stop while listening to the music. I made my choice. I deleted the app altogether. Shame. There was a balance for both sides for a while…

Version pro …. J’ai déjà payé pour la version pro et depuis la mise à jour j’ai de la publicité??? Pouvez-vous corriger s.v.p. je ne veux pas repayer une autre fois. Merci de me revenir

Great radio. I used to have TuneIn but they dropped my station, then tried a couple of others but they kept stopping, I'd have to keep pushing play, this is the best! Yes I will purchase premium!

Fabulous. I listen to you at night and because I live in Canada you are in the process of getting people up . Your music is always beautiful and your hosts are very knowledgable and pleasant .

Rarely works. Sound often cuts out despite solid WiFi connection

Clarity and availabilities. Excellent app for your favorite radio station. I listen to my hockey games and my country music here☺️

Radio turns off when switching to other app. Program works well, however i like to do work or read news while having music in the background. Minimizing or switching to another app stops the radio. I hope this use case is developed to a user story for next update. A great example is the VLC player which allows you to do that.

Much appreciated. So nice to have my canucks games out of the area!

Latest version. Is buggy like hell. Please fix!

My thoughts. Love it

Simple radio. Une application facile à utiliser pour entendre des voix et de la musique de par tout sur la terre!

Needs. Great app, but needs an update for the watch app so you can play the radio through the watch speaker as an option, Like Spotify ;) Watch series 10

Review. I likes it !! I likes it alot !!🤗

Věřý ğõòď řåďïő!¿. Ťħǐş ïš mÿ fåvøřïțẽ ãpp if í ŵăñť ťő ļįšťęň ťõ řäďįô.

Waste of time. Waste of time

Incapable d’écouter la radio.. Avant je pouvais écouter la radio et ouvrir une autre application sur iPad, maintenant c’est impossible. La radio s’éteint donc maintenant j’écoute sur OHdio.

Unsolicited Advertising. Too much unsolicited marketing/advertising upon selecting the app and/or upon selecting a radio station.

Leafs games. Works great for me. Out west so many hockey games are blacked out, I can listen on radio.

To many adds. To many ads. Keeps cutting out. Always resting my station to play.

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!

App is great but ads start again on new device. The app is great and though there are lots of stations that don’t work, there are some that are solid. I just got a new phone and the biggest issue is that the ads come back after downloading from my App Store account. Would like to know how to avoid paying each time I get a new device. My phone broke and I have a loaner device now but I’m getting a new one next month so I don’t want to pay 2 more times for the same app.

Love the App. It’s easy to use! I tried the guys…the one that starts with A…as in the fruit. It was not user friendly in my opinion, very expensive and did not have what I was use to. So I had to come back to this app. There is a lot of variety and a little bit of everything for your mood. I always use it at work and I really enjoy the British radio stations!

My favorite source of beautiful music selections. Simple Radio offers a tremendous selection of music to enjoy. It has the best Christmas music each season. So many varied music styles fit my many moods. I love to hum along and feel as though I’m part of the choir. What a wonderful addition to have the music selections well chosen and lovely to hear. I particularly enjoy the Klassik radio music coming from Germany. The Christmas music soothes me at day’s end.

I USE TO LOVE IT. When I’m going to sleep I like to listen to Classical music & This App gives me a Huge Variety from ALL OVER THE WORLD to do so And When I wake up I can’t wait to get into my car so I can hear my favorite Radio Talk show The Roula & Ryan Show On KRBE in HoustonTX With this app I am able to Wake up and start listening to them as I’m getting ready and when I get out of my car I don’t have to Miss anything Bcz I can keep listening BUT THIS MORNING TO MY HORROR 😂 My radio station was no longer on this App! I don’t know what has happened but I’m hoping it can be fixed soon!

Not worth the subscription. When I paid for the premium version I believed I would be able to use the premium account anywhere. FYI only works in the device you bought it in as they don’t associate your account to an email. Although I have the premium version it still tells me to upgrade and the price is also different. When they say no visual ads it means just that because aside from the ads the radio station plays simple radio also places their own ads and cuts off the radio. So sometimes you’ll listen to 5 minutes straight of only ads

The ultimate radio app!. Perfect for road trips, this app allows you to listen to music from anywhere in the world. With a seemingly endless number of stations and music styles, it insures that you can easily find hundreds of different stations that suit you. And better yet, you can get all of these things for free, or get much more, for a low priced premium membership.

Not feeling it with Simple Radio. Sorry. Paid for subscription thinking the frequent pausing would disappear. Nope! The app is constantly pausing at different times and, no, it’s not my iPhone, or Bluetooth ear buds, or Wi-Fi, or anything else. The app just stops cold. Sometimes it reconnects… sometimes it doesn’t. Weird behavior. Perhaps it’s IOS updates causing it but if it doesn’t stop this behavior in the next 72 hours I’m asking for a refund and moving on. Gets 2 stars cause one can at least edit the favorites or just listened too list as sucky Tune-In doesn’t.

Hate hate hate this app. I bought this app so this isn’t gonna be a fluffer review. Things cut out constantly. I mainly bought to listen to public radio and every 10-15 min (sometimes more often) a commercial comes on then it goes blank for a few minutes (usually Right in the middle of something important). Sometimes it just goes radio silent. I’ll check and play is still showing. So I try to shut off and reboot and it defaults to another station. I hit home button, try to get back to where I started but give up and go to my music library because it completely goes offline! And I am in a major metro city. Ludicrous.

Great ease of use. I’ve tried several radio tuner apps, this has comprehensive list to choose from, and ease of use. Best of the bunch. A suggestion/request: I have many favorite stations in my list, some music, some news, some political, and so on. It would be convenient to be able to insert a dividing line to visibly separate the genres. Just separating groups in a list, not full-blown folders. Great app!

Great app, as advertised!. Sometimes you miss certain FM and AM stations u used to listen to but just aren’t close enough anymore to get them, well this fixes that problem. It has a ton of stations and more than I would ever be able to listen to. I have never had a problem using this app and use it daily; have been using for about a year now. Has great favorites option and more. Try it out.

Was desperate!. Had the hardest time finding a decent radio app that had a good selection of heavy metal stations... Most were lame local amateur made programs, commercial filled FM stations, or playlists of songs grouped by people who clearly do not know what metal music actually is... Found this one with a great choice of radio stations, especially the ones from Germany and Russia... Video pop up ads only when switching stations or upon opening the app, easily X'd out... We may have a winner! 🏆

Grateful. I'm happy to have your app. I listen a lot. However, it seems I have lotta breaks in the action, if you will and I tend to miss some parts of the broadcasts. Thanks. I appreciate the choices I am able to make regarding my listening wants and needs. Very convenient I intend to enroll a good longtime friend to your service for her birthday next month. I’m sure that she’ll enjoy it as much as I do. Thanks! When it’s working, it’s great! When it’s not working it’s a big letdown!!

Simple Radio. The advertising that the blocks the screen are purposely annoying. The X mark, or way to close them out, is alway in a different location. This is creates difficulties when u need to mute the station or change to another station. The advertising is necessary, obviously, on a free app, but this is quite pushy. Very difficult to access minor stations such as AM sports stations. The search bar is not going to be much help in finding a baseball game in an unfamiliar city. In 2020 we know all of this could be better.

Most used app. I LOVE THIS APP. I moved away from home a few years ago and use this app every morning to listen to my hometown NPR station to hear both national programs and my local news. I’ve NEVER had an issue with it and have used it while traveling abroad. It keeps me connected to what’s going on at home even when I’m thousands of miles away. The on screen ads aren’t disruptive and I can switch between my favorite alt rock station (X102.9) to pop hits station (95.1 WAPE) easily using the favorites screen.

Simple. Simply the best . In seconds you can find great stations anywhere on Planet Earth. From news/Christian education. ANYTHING YOU LIKE. Easily to navigate to find stations Driving down the hiway! No problem it’s connected! Something you can enjoy thru the day or evening you can have your favorites at your fingertip to go to what your mood is ! Have a friend in Melbourne Australia. I’m in central USA. I can listen to her 2 Favorite Stations . Easy to install Easy to enjoy!

Love Simple Radio. I’m a big radio fan, actually have hosted a talk show in DC for past 27 years, have 2-3 stations I try to listen to much of the time. But the apps or internet never quite worked continuously; they’d work for awhile & then shut off—very frustrating. Simple Radio has changed all that! Now I can listen to my favorite stations easily when ever I want. Really appreciate Simple Radio! Terrific! Never would’ve known abt you if my friend hadn’t told me. Thank You!

I love my Simple Radio App. The best part of my Simple Radio App is that I can listen to stations that keep me in touch with where I’ve grown up. I was born and raised in Puerto Rico so my number favorite station is Zeta 93 out of San Juan. Then when I was older we moved to Boston so I also listen to Magic 106.7 out of Boston a lot. I listen to other stations once in a while as well. I do a lot of quilting it relaxes me and immediately Zeta 93 comes on while I’m sewing. It’s like my own Zen Garden.

Simple Radio is So … Simple!. I have found this Podcast Site for Accessing just the Best and Most Eclectic and Interesting streaming audio feeds to Be Top Notch in providing a grouping of Audio Channels to choose from. I want to Cite the Availability of my Public Broadcast audio Sites: WEVL FM 89.9 and WKNO FM 91.1 (& their Affiliate HD Stations) as just a Very Small sampling of the Huge Library of stations available through the Simple Radio station Kudos for your Excellent curation of some of The Best Audio Stations Assembled under one web-page on the Word Wide Internet 🎶 😎 ✌️ Steve Swanberg Cordova TN

Steep price. The app itself is nice and works as it should. The reason I gave one star it is for the steep price to remove obnoxious adds. The part that I didn’t really like it is the fact that I can’t share my purchase with my family members on the shared purchase account and only one device can use the full version. Any other download is making me to pay $3.99 for in app purchase again to remove the adds. Pretty lame. Developer has no idea what I’m talking about in their response so I’m correct they overcharging for this heavily. Get rid off in app purchase and create separate pro version of this app to download then the purchase can be shared.

Great player but not CarPlay ready. I have been looking for a simple and efficient internet radio app and Simple Radio checks all boxes. You’d probably want to pay the $3.99 to get rid of the adds. A couple limitations though... - App doesn’t show in CarPlay, I hope CarPlay compatibility will be added soon. - On the iPhone version, there is no way to route de audio output to different devices (AirPods, HomePod, etc...), you have to do that through iOS Control Center. On the iPad version, a button is provided to choose audio routing.

Love my NPR station and Affiliate stations.. Just moved from Chicago to Denver and I was beyond relieved to find I could still connect to listen to my favorite broadcast station. With my recent relocation and so many stations terminating I was very concerned about being able to obtain high quality, objective information and enjoyable entertainment pieces that I had come to love through the years. Gratefully, NPR/CPR broadcasts here. Thank you to the entire STAFF who are truly fantastic providers to this devoted & loyal listener. LOVE THIS STATION!!!

Nice media tool, but lacks functionality. This is a very useful app but when you have lots of favorite radio stations around the world, of different genres, and in different countries/languages, a way to categorize them is essential. This app doesn't provide that. All favorite stations get lumped into one huge list of favorites. Then finding the station you need is tedious and rather painful each time--ugh. Hence, my 3-star rating. I hope the developers fine tune this much needed requirement.

I love music 🎼. This app is great because the music is free so if you don’t like something you aren’t stuck with paying for it. I also love that you ca listen to the stations everywhere! That feature lets me be able to listen to my local stations when I’m traveling or listen to stations from different countries( feel very cultural because of it). If you are on the fence I highly recommend it! Get this app!!!!!

Love it, warts and all. I use Simple Radio all the time. Minor problems like the station blanking out for several seconds while driving or my favorite station just not working sometimes are not enough to make me stop using it. One new issue, though, is particularly annoying: pausing the radio doesn’t prevent an ad with MUCH LOUDER audio from playing. You think it’s off and all of a sudden a loud ad comes up. So, if you want to stop the sound, shut the app down. Pause or Stop won’t be enough.

Excellent!. If you speak several languages you will enjoy this app tremendously. If you like music you can spend hours listening to every kind of genre; same goes for current events, news and all kinds of interesting information. You can pretty much ‘travel’ around around the world and hear strange and fascinating talk from different countries! I really enjoy this app!

One thing missing. I really love this app. I just started today and I love it. But there is just ONE thing missing. In some cars when you have the radio on, it tells you the name of the song that is playing. There has been a lot of times when a song came but I didn’t know the name of it and it sucked. So one thing I would like to see is to tell us the name of the song that is currently playing. I know it may be hard but that is just my suggestion.

Great App. This is my every day app I listen to when I am in the mood of listening radio stations from abroad. 95% of the times works normal, I guess sometimes radio stations are not broadcasting and this is the 5% time where some radio stations might not work and this is just occasionally. Thank you for creating such a good app for us who sometimes are homesick and we like to listen what is happening in our places of origin.

Excellent App! I have it for years but I need back the Recording feature. I work in a press office in my town and I use this app a lot. I have it maybe 3 years going to 4. It's an excellent app. I recommended to everyone that I know who does the same job I do. Last week I had an accident with my phone and today I got my replacement. I downloaded the App from the cloud and I'm having a little trouble with the new version. Since I can't recover my information from the old phone because it's broken. I had this App with the recording button in a upgrade version that I bought at that time and when I downloaded today it didn't bring me the recording button. Honestly I need it, because it's an excellent tool for monitoring. Please help me with this. I will appreciate

FM Radio On the iPhone!. I really like the ability to listen to radio on the iPhone. I know there are other apps out there, but they did not have the specific station I was looking for, and this app did. I was so happy when I found this out! That said, I do have a request. Is it possible for the app to show what song is playing on the radio at the time. That would be a useful feature, so that if I like a song I heard while using this app, I can look it up and listen to it! Thanks for taking the time to read this review!

My go-to app got online streaming. Thus simple app is quite simply THE BEST radio streaming app yet! I live in a very rural area in the fringes of two major markets and all that programming caters to those cities. I listen to a lot of talk radio and my favorite stations are too far off for terrestrial reception but this app puts them within my reach. I love this app, simple, effective and it just works! I've got it loaded on my every Apple device. It's by far, the best!

Loses my favorites. This is a nice app for radio on the go and I can’t compare since it’s the first one I’ve used. However I listen to my local station consistently and have labeled it favorite multiple times but every so often it disappears and I have to refind and refavorite it. This keeps happening and is annoying. Once in awhile the app will randomly switch what I’m listening to and all of a sudden I’m listening to Jazz (which I don’t even like). The paid version doesn’t seem like it would fix this problem and what it offers over the free doesn’t interest me. please fix the bugs.

Vulgar trash ads !. Loaded this app to use and first day got an e-mail in my junk box from one of my personal contacts. When I opened it and wondering why it was in the junk box it linked me to a site called Bang Bros . Com. A porn web site ! Filth and trash. When I went on the developer site and history to look further into this seemingly innocent app, I was still frustrated why anyone would rate this for age 4+ yrs. of age. REALLY ? This app should be cancelled and Banned as well as the developer. As I exited out of the site The porn site came up AGAIN ! I deleted this app and will not recommend or download anything else in our home from this developer until it is cleaned up and reviewed by APPLE FIRST !

Simple Radio. Simple Radio is the only way to connect to those out of state Radio stations that I love to listen to I just love his app wish I could have thought of it back in 2012 but it is what it is I’m just glad it’s out and i have it now I’m loving all of the newer upgrades it has gone through since I downloaded it back n 2014! Been telling my friends about it every since!

easy to use and very powerful. I love listening to the radio with this app, very high quality and most likely powerful too. My only question is, is it possible that we as users can record the radio station? I listen to radio stations that do mix remixes every once in a while, and I would love to go back and listen to the mix again. I understand if that's not something you are legal to do. Anyway, I hope that this review helps!

a little difficulties. So I got the app looking for something that I can make a playlist with, don’t get me wrong it’s a good app and all, but my problem was there was no skip song button or anything to tell what song was on (I really didn’t need it bc I knew all the song that came on the kpop radio) but other people may want to know what song is on or what artist sings it. it is a good app to use just if you use it be aware you can’t skip songs so if there is a song you don’t want to hear or is there is a song that you don’t want younger audiences to hear I would choose a different app.

Florida listener. My family and I are moving to Colorado at the end of 2021.I searched and found your radio station and have been listening to you guys ever sense. I love to hear all the DJs on the ministry team, testimonials, all of your programming, the prayers that go out to your listeners every day. It’s truly refreshing to know that we’ve got an awesome radio station not only here in Florida to listen to but when we get out to the mountains. Blessings!

Not all Stations Included. I’ve used Simple Radio for going on three years, and the one thing I don’t like is this app doesn’t have all stations. I try looking for a station in particular and it comes up as every station around EXCEPT for that one. Eventually, I end up going with a similar one, but I would still prefer the one I was looking for in the first place. *The station I’m looking for is 97.3 WMEE in Fort Wayne IN, if you would please add it, that would be FANTASTIC!*

BEST RADIO EVER. I love my Classical Music and listen to it everyday. However, I travel often and I'm still an OLD SCHOOL Hip Hop, Club and R&B music enthusiast. There is one station in my hometown that plays my FAVORITE OLD SCHOOL HITS on Saturday nights and is a MUST for me to tune into every chance that I get. This app allows me to get any station in the world, in particularly my local favorites so that I take a little bit of home town flavor with me everywhere I go. Love this app. 5 STARS ALL DAY!!!

Wish for more ststions. I was delighted to discover Simple Radio only a few weeks ago. It’s great and I am using it to listen to public radio shows in Albuquerque New Mexico, But only in the morning. That is the only time we have them. But the same station does have a rather extensive afternoon lineup only available on HD or in my car-which is a place I rarely am. Wish you were able to access those.

Talking ADS OVER MY MUSIC 😡. I love the app but recently there is a quick books ad that comes on and literally talks through your music playing! I didn’t mind the ads before because there wasn’t sound but if this continues I am going to uninstall because it’s awful I can’t hear my fave stations because it’s all playing at the same time and it’s a horrible mess!! And now to top it off it has stopped playing in the background time to find a new app

Stops streaming every minute or so. Can’t complain about a free app, but I wish I could turn on a station and play a full song without the streaming stopping until I open the app, view the advertisement pop-up and tap to close the ad several times. Once I close the add streaming always continues, but I do wish I could listen to a full song without going through the steps. Also sometimes when I have a strong cell signal, the app will say I’m not connected and can’t stream, but ads can somehow still load and pop up repeatedly? How does that work?

Great app. It’s amazing to search across the country and find amazing stations… all topics, all genre. News, talk, comedy, country, big band, OTR and it goes on. And I just realized you can edit the station list so you can keep your favorites at the top of the list. After a while I’ve added a couple hundred stations and I would forget about one. Now just move it up the list.

Listener. I have been using the radio app for quite a while probably five or six years I like it a lot I listen to several rock stations with the Internet and the way it is today anything that happens? Has nothing to do with the connection to this app I really appreciate all the work and things you’re all doing and looking to being a listener for many years to come.

Window to the world. I really appreciate having this kind of app available to me. I sometimes complain about the digital world but there are many things that are so wonderful. Simply radio helps me feel less isolated. I’m able to hear what is going on all around the country and the world. I learn things I didn’t know about, I hear music I would’ve never known existed. It helps me to feel a part of the world around me. thank you for being there!!

Shuts off yet again. The app is awesome but the only problem I have is that whenever my phone screen goes black the music stops so then I have to keep tapping my screen for the music to keep playing. Please fix. This is the second time this happened to me. The radio station selection is awesome and the music is great but it’s annoying whenever the screen goes black the music stops.

Downloaded to a New Device...what happened??. I used to play radio stations all around the world on my old iphone. I got a new device and downloaded the latest version of simple radio: what the heck happened to the "simple" radio app? Constant pop-up ads (simple radio doesn't own rights to the content radio stations produce, how could they run ads?), slow loading speeds (used to be instant), and now the radio won't even play in the background or through the lock screen. What the actual heck, I'll rather play through safari websites than this app. I loved this app, what did you do to it!!

Works well most of the time. Works great most of the time. I like it. The problem is it sometimes refuses to release the user from viewing the advertising. The result is the user is unable to control the program material. This often happens when program is temporarily paused. It can’t then be restarted. It’s annoying! Hope this can be resolved in the near future. Otherwise works really well and allows access to radio stations all over the world that one would otherwise be unable to receive.

Jerry rigged. As an “Over The Road”(long haul) trucker, I found myslf reaching to scan the trucks radio for a new station every 15-20 minutes because im losing the signal while diving. The rocky mountains and desert areas can be the worst. But Not since my sister installed simple radio’s app for me on my Iphone. Ft. Wayne, IN has the bear and now I do too. Everywhere. Anytime. Thank you for that. Because she also educated me on what an app is. And saved me from spending too much on CD’s. Just try it. And get out my way...

Very good, lots of access. I’m pretty cheap, so I don’t know if I’ll continue paying for the app. Otherwise the app is really good and you get exactly what you would want from a radio app; access to pretty much any and every radio station. I’m impressed it even had the little radio station from my hometown. If your looking to have access to listening to a local sports team while temporarily living far away, this is for you.

You still need Internet.. I hit that rough patch at the end of the month when you run out of data and thought I could use Simple Radio to listen to music since FM stations are air stream. Turns out it uses very little data but still uses some. When waiting for buffering I can listen to the first 20-30 seconds of a song, then it stops until the next bit of data comes in. Other than that, I was really happy with the variety and quality of radio stations available locally, nationally, and internationally.
