iHeartRadio Family Reviews

by Mgooo1

My kids and I used to live iHeartRadioFamily. We listened to it in the car all the time. But now that it's updated it won't play songs conitously one after another if the screen is off or if another app such a Waze is opened. This is a safety hazard because if someone is driving and iHeartRadioFamily is closed, the driver needs to manually go to the next song which is dangerous to do!!

I contacted customer service or the 2 email addresses I saw posted and I don't seem to be getting far. It's pretty frustrating since the older version worked so nicely.

You can use iHeartRadioFamily , just not while driving which is the only time we use it!!

iHeartRadioFamily would be great in its current state, with one major issue and a minor complaint. The major issue is that my kids like to go to sleep with some of the music on here, and if I just let it play for more than 10 minutes, it turns off on its own. I usually have the screen turned off and music playing as they sleep, but it barely gets through the one song it is currently playing and shuts off on its own. Then I leave the screen on and it will only last about 10 minutes before it turns itself off. Kind of makes iHeartRadioFamily useless if we can’t listen to more than 2 1/2 song.
My only minor complaint is that since it was updated, we don’t have access to the Sesame Street Radio anymore. Not a big deal, but I know my kids liked that station.

My little sister had iHeartRadioFamily and told me iHeartRadioFamily was good and had some good music so I decided to download it. For the first two days everything was working really well...but about the third or fourth day that I had iHeartRadioFamily it started acting terribly. It tells me I have to internet connection and I do I have full internet connection. As well as whenever I am listening to a station it will just randomly shut off. iHeartRadioFamily was good at first but it is terrible now. If you guys could fix this it would be great. But for now do not waste your time on iHeartRadioFamily to all of those considering.

I love iHeartRadioFamily so much but there is something there they are lying about🤥They are saying all the music is family friendly like literally no swearing 🤬 but there lying if you listen to some of the songs they are saying the f word the sh word the d word and it’s mostly in the Disney dance party section and most of the songs in that section are most Disney but there are more that are just random songs. And the swear songs are really bad for you guys because little kids listen to iHeartRadioFamily cuz there parents are looking for a family friendly music apps and they found this and there like oh my gosh iHeartRadioFamily is the perfect app for my kid/kids then there kid/kids are listening to the music sing along hear the f word says it there parent/parents hear they go to iHeartRadioFamily goes to the review part wrights one (are you being serious 🧐 my kid/kids are listening to your family friendly (Quotes) Well my kid/kids have bin listening to your music and when ever I hear them/her/him the f word sh word all those kinda trash words that tick parents off) and I was going to add some swearing in there but I’m family friendly unlike you guys. Also most of the kids bop are not in the kids bop section and most of those songs are in different sections. So it would be nice if you Changed all of that everything I said at least the swearing cuz if you just saw my parent review thing ya your going to get a lot of those soon.

It says it’s not available in my country but then the whole screen gets stuck and I have to turn off the phone to get out of it. I can check out iHeartRadioFamily without the content to see if it’s ok for my kid in the US.

Btw, maybe explicit should not be considered music and adults should be the ones having to find explicit apps with restrictions , not the other way around. Explicit should never be for radio.

I love iHeartRadioFamily, but you know it could be better if we could choose the songs instead of the random shuffle function. It would also be nice to provide the names of the songs that are being played and I would also like a search bar. And I don’t like it when my favorite songs are replaced. I just found out that they were replaced on kids pop and kids party. Overall It is a decent app. I hope you respond to this review.

by ReeseMoon

I think you should be able to look up songs, make your own playlists to save songs, and it should show the song name. Plus it doesn’t load for me at all I have to constantly close it reopen it close reopen and restart my iPad it’s very agitating please fix/take this into consideration if you added these it would raise my review to a 5 to ther than that this is a good app for kids under the age of 7.

by Bw091

I’ve been using iHeart Radio for years and it’s good! But I just realized some issues. 1: if you are listening to music and you have closed your device then a song comes on that you don’t like you can’t skip it from your home screen! You have to go to iHeartRadioFamily and drag your finger to skip it.
2: there is no search! I think you should add a search button and if someone looks up a song that has suggestive dialogue in it then you should offer the CLEAN version.

And that is all! Please read and consider my suggestions. Thank you

I personally lover iHeartRadioFamily. It’s the only radio app my mom will let me have, and it’s radios are fun. Yet a few things. I like to listen to in the background of me playing games on my iPad. And sometimes it would just randomly turn off. I would have to close and reopen iHeartRadioFamily . And it happens often too! Which makes it more annoying. Another thing, with the removing of swear words. I hear sometimes the word ‘Hell’ gets taken out a lot. But a few times I heard ‘sexy’. I would think that they would take that word out unless they missed it, but I heard it in a few songs which threw me off a bit. Still an amazing app tho! <3

by LizLemon70

I love iHeartRadioFamily. There are lots of great stations with a variety of kids' music and even top 40 for the adults to enjoy too. I like that I don't have to worry about inappropriate language. My biggest beef with iHeartRadioFamily is that the live stations don't list the artist/song, which bothers me a lot as I want to know what I'm listening to if I like the song. Even regular FM stations in my car do this now so iHeart needs to get their act together to display this basic information.

So first If you buy iHeartRadio it’s a waste of your money because you can’t look up a song and it has the same stations and radios and its plays the same songs you all ready listen to again so can you iHeartRadio people kind of change the things I pointed out please. Thanks 🎶🎵♥️🎧🎤

by Sssniperwolffan247

I think the channel choices a very good but I think for the kids version I would recommend a playlist you can create. It is getting pretty boring play the same songs over and over again. Also about the song Heather, you kind of missed a big curse word in the song. And if we have parents saying “ hey can I listen to the music you are playing” and there kid hands them the device and Heather comes on, there will be some very angry parents. Thanks for reading this

by AliaV321123

This is the best music app ever it’s for kids and I love it but there’s one little thing I hear some curse words just a little bit but I don’t really listen to them but all of all it’s great and it’s for kids but I mind if you change that because my little sister here is my music as well and I don’t want her to listen to the bad words so please fix that a little bit but thank you I love music is the best thing ever

by Jocelyn170

It is much better than it was before and every thing is working like it was before. I love the Xmas music thank you the people who fixed my app. The ten minute thing is over. I was thinking of deleting iHeartRadioFamily , but sense iHeartRadioFamily is working again like it was before, I don’t have to delete iHeartRadioFamily anymore...I wish there were more stars than five, but my issues are over thanks again the people who fixed iHeartRadioFamily .🙂😀😃🙂

by Mrs.H.Bear

I just recently added iHeartRadioFamily on my kids tablets and they really seem to enjoy it, a lot! My question is, can they still access iHeartRadioFamily to listen to the music and stories when they are offline (long car rides, etc.)?! We have not tried it, yet, but I'm wondering if iHeartRadioFamily would still work when they are no longer in range with our WiFi?!

by Doggie134

I love iHeartRadioFamily because I don’t have to worry about bad language or have to listen to a bunch of adds at all, unlike in most stations on a radio. Also, it is free which is good considering on how much I like iHeartRadioFamily . Even better, I have realized that it is for a lot of devices so that way you can listen wherever you go no matter where you go as long as you have that device.

by CRFFCGCCGCHIOOOOF

It is a great app 5 stars what do you is that I can’t remember the name of the song so maybe put the name of the song before it and maybe put a search bar so you can search the song do you want to play are usually listen to the top 40 countdown so it’s it’s a really good station but there’s a little bit of stuff that it could be improved by once again it’s about five stars it actually is five stars and so then it would be cool if you could search up the song is you want to listen to because you hear the song that you like them but then they go because you can’t replay it and you can’t search it up and it’s a really good app because we don’t have to worry about those inappropriate words are they playing songs if there are any pro inappropriate words so it’s cool app please respond to this review and can you try your best to put my suggestions in there or make iHeartRadioFamily even better than it is

by Coolreviesraerae

I love iHeartRadioFamily because it has a ton of stations my favorite would have to be the top 40, i have an Alexa so i mostly play it on there but when i go to my dads house i normally play it from my phone, anyways they announced that they had podcasts so i started listening too those to Uh i dont know how to end this but yeah 😅😁☺️

by Jdjdyfbf

Please add a search bar for example I love the song apocalypse,wolves those are songs I love please add them and wolves is also on kids bop but for some reason it doesn’t have it and please please PLEASE add a search bar because it is super hard to find your favorite songs it gets me a little mad but not very mad anyway I’m doing good but not awesome but good anyway please accept this request it would mean so much to me

❤️Ripper❤️

PLEASE ADD SKIP BUTTON
I love iHeartRadioFamily but I have a few things that could make it better....
1. Skip buttons. It’s a pain to have to leave and renter each station to skip a song.
2. Artist and song names. It makes me mad when there is a song I really like but I don’t know the name of artist.
3. Dance Christian radio. It would be really cool to have a energetic Christian radio with just Christian dance music.
4. Offline radio stations. It would be good to have radio stations you can use offline.
5. Please make it so you can make custom playlists
Other then that it’s a pretty good app. I hope you can add in these things.
6. Also please cut out all the bad stuff, not just curse words, that is a problem.
7. It would be great if you could hide just a single song and not a whole playlist
8. It would be cool if there were favorite buttons so the song would show up more
Please fix these problems

Half of the lyrics are wrong and this is one of my favorite songs it’s “ oh she’s sweet but a sycho at night she screamin i i i i I out of my mind grab a cop gun kinda of crazy she’s poison but tasty yeah people say run don’t walk away cause she’s sweet but a sycho at night she’s screaming I i i i i i iout of my mind .

I hope you fix the song by and another thing fix the rating because before we can send a message we have to rate so I’m only giving you a one because that my number for terrible. By .

by UniRainbowPuff

I think it’s great! Except for two things... I always have to re-download iHeartRadioFamily EVERY SINGLE TIME I go to use it! Because it stops on the very last loading circle and it just sits there. The second thing was that I would like to see at least what the song is called please. Thank you 👍🏼

by Kewl Gamer

Im a kid and I've been trying to find a good music app to listen to. This is great because its free, and it has some awesome radio stations like country, kids, christians, and there are like no ads. My only concern is it doesn't show the title of the song, who sings it, or anything. I listened to this one song that I really liked but I didn’t know what it was. Over all, I would recommend iHeartRadioFamily to anyone who wants to listen to good music.

by Createtivty Studio

This is an amazing app. The songs are great and the best part is that it’s free! One thing that I would like is for y’all to put the names of the songs somewhere so if people want to listen to the song some time else they would know the name of it! Please read request! I would really appreciate it!

by Unspeakablefanforlife

iHeartRadioFamily is absolutely awesome..but I think one think that would be helpful is a favourites tab so if you have favourite stations you can put them in the favourites tab so you don’t have to go through all the stations to look for that one station.

by SoccerMom614

I’ve used iHeartRadioFamily for a while and while I thought it was great it didn’t offer much variety. The new channels are amazing!! So many options from wake up jams to homework jam sessions. I love having access to everything in one place. Great job!

by Robrowe

Perfect companion soundtrack while playing with your kids or car rides! Put the tunes on and you won't have to worry about bad language. Great addition to the iHeartRadio family!
