Radio Javan Reviews

by Terrible Ad Tactics

RJ has gotten very aggressive in promoting their premium subscription. Before songs play, the developers decide to show a timered video ad, and require you to tap a small random close button in the corners of the screen. This is common in mobile games, but it has made RadioJavan impossible and very dangerous to use while driving. On top of that, the typical audio ads between songs are present.

I used to be a big fan of RJ and what they do, but Ive stopped using their products all together.

They are pushing you to get the premium by showing multiple ads after ads before play the music.
You have 30 seconds of ads, waiting for tgat 30 second to pass and it direct you back to main page again you should watch another 15 seconds ads, is it over!? Nooooo , another 8 second ads play after that and those ads has no exit buttons after end, no matter what you do but you are directed to appstore or an website address.
Deleting it and going to hear my music in sound clouds, at least they are not playing game and you watch what ads is supposed to be shown then boom .

Worst persian music app ever!

Ads play for 2 minutes when you open RadioJavan , sometimes more than one ad, it would be fine if they play the 2 ads ad the beginning but then let you listen to first and second songs before displaying another ad, but no, 2 ads for opening RadioJavan , another ad before playing the first song and another ad right after the first song. If this is not greed, don’t know what is. App constantly crashes and full to adware. I get that they have to have revenue to support RadioJavan, but neither RadioJavan works, nor they are satisfied with the amount they display. If they could, they display ads in the middle of the songs as well.

Now I know there is a paid version that makes RadioJavan ad-free but the free version has taken the ads to a very annoying level. Instead of one ad now, there are 2 or more ads when choosing a song every time. YOU BREATH IN RadioJavan AND 2 AD POP UP. As a developer myself, this is a very bad practice and there has to be a balance.

On top of that, the quality of RadioJavan has decreased significantly. Now for example, RadioJavan closes in middle of listening. This is annoying when it happens while you’re driving because you can’t relaunch RadioJavan while driving due to safety.

There are other platforms that do a better job at providing Persian music and I won’t use Radio Javan until a balance is established with the ads and the bugs are fixed.

Is it a MUSIC streaming app or AD STREAMING app? And also free accounts features shrink every day!! Where did download option go?!! I totally get it you gotta make some revenue after all but this is getting insane!! There are some ads (games mostly) that literally you can’t get rid of and whatever you do it takes you to app store for download! This is not a business/service anymore this is just being GREEDY!! Sorry to say that but soon or later RJ will be replaced with new and more transparent apps!

Rj app has one of the most complete archives of Persian musics. But there are three big issues while using RadioJavan . 1.It launches very very slow. And waiting for RadioJavan to open sometimes takes about 2 minutes 😖😣 2. Also there are too many bugs while using RadioJavan . They release new updates But, there are newer bugs in newer updates. 3.Plenty of ads are shown whenever you wanna listen to a song and it’s really annoying.

I’ve installed RadioJavan for like years and it was pretty good, until the premium thing had been added playing a lot of ads between songs, its such killjoy to me.
I’ve added my files to RadioJavan to listen to all my songs in one app… but idk why sometimes when I’m listening to them the “red light green light” sound from “squid game” keeps playing in the background, and it’s not only for me, it even happened for other people I know and I don’t understand why tho :/

RadioJavan is really great. But there is a big problem that you cannot install it on the lower version of iOS such as iOS 10 I don’t see any thing I’m compatible with iOS 10 or lower on RadioJavan. Please make it compatible for lower version of iOS, because RadioJavan is the only one app that it is possible for someone who has iPhone but not the latest iPhones, to play the music with it. And this application, is the only one application that you can listen to music even off-line. Thanks for taking your time to read this review.

Radio javan is a worthy app for Iranian music and I know it tries to preserve its rights as other apps. You need ads to continue, and me as a free user should bare it with no complain; but recently all synchronizations has been removed and some songs even don’t play online... Do you think Iranian people are ABLE or even WILLING to pay about 5$ a month for persian music that is downloadable everywhere?! I don’t think so... You will lose users this way I think...

Edit:
It is becoming incredibly frustrating to listen to the radio. For whatever reason it doesn’t work right. Jumps on the songs or starts double playing. It’s been months, how is it that no one in RJ has fixed this yet?

It's a great app, love the new soundlists, keep up the good work RJ team; but the fact that you can not add a song to your playlists when it's playing on the radio is so annoying.
And also could you not play the songs that actually have more dislikes than likes?!

Perfect app but the ads prevents it to work fine . When i am playing a music and scroll down to control volume page scroll back up and wont let me to adjust volume. This happens a lot and this is very annoying. Synchronization with server has problems too. For instance i had been deleted a music and keep deleting it but it wont go off my music library . Now i have too many music that won’t delete . No matter i unsync them or not .

There is some technical issues which you can’t accept it from an app in this level and this rate of updates so it seems really disappointing. First issue is related to diming and locking the screen during playing time which in last update does not happen and the screen is always on.
Next issue related to my taste of music, It’s really boring sometimes and it’s not from wide variety of songs.

I have cellular data on my apple watch (the watch doesn’t have to be connected to the phone). But Radio Javan doesn’t work over my watch’s cellular data connection. Radio Javan’s app has to be connected to my phone for it to play music. This is a great inconvenience when I’m away from my phone or when the phone is on airplane mode!! :(

As much as RadioJavan is easily one of my favorite audio apps out there, there’s one device that hasn’t got love in years. I’ve seen that the Apple Watch barely got any changes with watchOS and feel that needs to change. What frustrates me is always depending on my phone to stream my music already synced. With the newer Apple Watch models, would you consider add streaming support via cellular and Wi-Fi and make the Watch app independent on the watchOS App Store?

2021 Update: The experience has been so far pretty good from continuous updates, but two things that should be addressed. One is a proper iPadOS app. RadioJavan kinda looks like a blown up iPhone app now in the now playing screen. I think a slight redesign and the ability to go split screen on iPad would be a much needed change. It would be great for multitasking. Think about it.. Other than that, the ads need to be in the form of only advertising while playing music, not with random pop ups ads. Just a thought from some people to change that. And I’m still waiting on that watch app redesign..😊 Much love development team! ❤️

Hi im shayan i cant download music When i push the download button one page appears that you should upgrade to RJ premium if you want to download any thing But my brother can download every music without RJ premium I think its a bug ( maybe or not ) Please help me and told me what i have to do Thanks

by Hosseink12

I use RadioJavan daily. Its absolutely brilliant.
I just love how its always upto date, with songs being uploaded by the hour, and always the place where you can find hot new songs.
Also, another aspect i love about radio javan is how its not filtered from iran and can be openly accessed by users like myself from iran.
Keep up the good work RJ.

Your ads are more than normal and boring
Most of times when we open RadioJavan your application forces us to watch it’s ads,so we close it and use an other app for listening to music
But if you can solve this problem that’s completely related to earning more money for you,it will be a useful and perfect application
Thx and be successful

You need to get your act together. Been premium user from pretty much day 1. Recently I had to delete and reinstall RadioJavan in order to get it to work. So disappointed after leaving a voicemail and two emails with the copy of my monthly payment for premium subscription no one bothered to call or email me back.
I’m paying for something that I cannot use.
About to unsubscribe.

Common pal!!!! Instead of those performance updates, you have to just take back the download button. All songs are in good quality when we listen them in the car just by USB memories instead of AUX connection!!!!!

This is a great app that makes great music available to music listeners. Would be perfect if it had a smaller demand on network connection for functions other than playing videos or music. Searching and other basic functions take too long even on a reasonable-speed connection.

by Magnificent K

It was an amazing app eventhough it had many ads. Not sure what has changed from last month but recently the ads go on for minutes. They pop up in the middle of the songs and nothing on screen works unless you force shot-down RadioJavan . I do understand that they need to make money as well but if this was a-paid app from the beginning i would not think they would have been this successful. Anyways thank you. It is still a decent app.

I have updated my app some days ago after which my app is not working on my iPhone. I really don't know the reason. I don't want to reinstall it as my all music will be removed if I install it once again.

by Amirhossein.enayat

Actually radio javan is the most persion music app player . On RadioJavan we have a lip-sync option but we don’t have personal profiles for lip sync players
I think if it be in next Feature it would be extremely fantastic. Tnx radio javan

RadioJavan is great but it will be awesome if you guys add like a equalizer like bass control or something And when the new iOS came out on the lock screen it doesn’t show that it’s playing music from radio Javan I think it’s a bug or something but iPhone doesn’t recognize is as a music app tnx

by Apple :=(

In the crowded space of music streaming services, and I have tried all, Radio Javan and Apple stand on the top 2 for me.
The best music selection, and the ease of user interface.
I must admit that even if I am paying for Apple, but currently using the free service from RJ.
Hope to get the premium service soon.

If anyone wanna be updated for Iranian music even videos RadioJavan would be helpful for everyone.
Although the new songs and videos are mostly attractive but the nostalgic songs will be accessible very easily through RadioJavan
