4.7 out of 5
Watch App needs to be updated.

Hi, I have been using Radio for nearly 2 years. But I generally prefer to use the watch app for convenience. I have noticed with the recent watchOS update that the favorites button is no longer featured. That was a saving grace for me to find my saved stations. Now I have to use the rewind forward buttons which takes away convenience I needed. Also I would like to suggest in future updates to incorporate a recents tab to go back to previous stations as another option for Radio user. These can and need to be fixed.

Favorites Gone

Same issue as others have reported: my favorites, synced across multiple devices via Dropbox, have disappeared. Interestingly, when I re-add stations, they go back to their original position in the sorted list. Stations not previously in favorites go to the top, as expected.

Also, window size is now off in the Apple TV client. Page titles are cut off, and editing option is not visible.

Great about but bad new behavior

I really like Receiver and connecting with global this app stations. I would love to give it a 5-star rating, however, it has started changing stations by itself every 5 mins. I would like to understand how to stop this new behavior that seems to have popped up on its own. Happy to change from 3-star with some help from their support.

Slow to connect to directory

When using Radio on LTE, at startup it sometimes takes a while for it to connect to directory. Station stream startup is also much slower than comparable apps. Not sure why this is but it is distracting. I love the interface and station selection but would really like to see faster startup.

Alarm doesn’t seem to work with podcasts

I bought this hoping to have an alarm to wake me in the morning with a podcast. From what I can tell, you can only use an internet this app station for the alarms. Apparently it must be difficult to do podcasts with alarms, since neither stitcher nor overcast have alarm functionality either.

2 Shortcomings

Overall very nice But…

1- The Favorite option (Heart) does not work on streams you have added via url

2- Does not show the streaming codec or bitrate information that is being received.

App is always switching stations

For the last month or two, Radio will jump to the next station on my list randomly. I’ve been listening for 15 minutes today, and it has twice jumped to the next station on my list. Why is it doing this?

Great app highly recommended!

Radio has flawlessly provided me with many hours of listening enjoyment. The station selection seems endless and the interface is easy to use.

Great!

Has all of my local stations plus the ones I discovered on vacation. Better quality than over the air reception in my area, for those who have a HiFi system with bad FM reception, it’s a great option.

Best Radio App

This is by far the best this app app I have ever used! I can connect to stations I grew up on which is good for my mental health cause it keeps me grounded. The best channel I have found is the one in Dubai that has so many stations it’s unbelievable! Would love if I could organize my favorites by genre! Great job guys!

Works Great!

Has all of my local stations, as well as stations from around the nation and around the world. Easy to synchronize my favorite list between my Apple TV, iPad, and iPhone. Once you chance the settings it plays fine on Apple TV even after the screen saver comes on. No subscription fees, well worth the $1.99 purchase price.

Been looking for EXACTLY THIS!!!!

I’m so happy!! I’ve been wishing to find an app that lets me wake to random songs within a genre, like you could with a clock this app. Is that so hard?? This does that and so much more, and the Siri Shortcuts and HomePod compatibility just take it over the edge! Totally awesome!

Perfect connection

I am completely blow a way at the huge number of internet world wide this app stations! My favorite list grows week to week I hope this never ends.

Wow!

This is everything I’ve wanted. A one time purchase for full this app on HomePod.

One little bug I noticed that I’d like addressed if possible. ‘Hey Siri Stop!’ Can’t be actioned through the HomePod during playback. She asks me to stop via the receiver app on my phone. ‘Hey Siri Pause’ does the job but isn’t the first thing I think to ask.

Bravo though. Radio is immense and should be the first buy for HomePod owners.

Liking This App a Lot!

Works well. Clean, functional design. Very good selection of stations. Easy to add custom links. Podcast feature is a nice, although basic, bonus. iCloud sync is a plus. One minor suggestion. Make the station Favorites view a bit more user friendly. Maybe folder options or a grid-style display to make organization easier.

Simplicity+

If you just want to listen to your favorite this app stations without a lot of advertising and in-app up-selling, then this is Radio for you.

Radio never easier.

Easy to program stations and trivially easy to select and play them. List of programmed stations shared across all of my Apple devices - Mac, iPhone, AppleTV, and iPad.

Excellent app which finds stations all around the world and doesn’t charge monthly fees once you have purchased Radio .
Skip all other apps, this is the best one.
This is THE ONE

Amazing App!

There are a few stations that I love to listen to, that don’t have easy ways of streaming on the iPhone. Radio solves that and allows Car Play. Amazing.

Absolutely fantastic

I’m so glad I found Radio. It’s so easy to use. I love listening to local music and news, as well as national news and new music stations. While I have other on demand music and podcast streaming services, there’s something cozy and simple about listening to the this app for music and news. I love Radio. It’s very polished. Great job!

Absolutely excellent App. I hd been using radio.net for several years but they have changed it recently and, as so often happens, it was change for the sake of change, and in my view it is less good than before. So I searched all over for an App with a sleep timer function and I found Receiver. I found all the stations that I needed, very easily and the sleep timer is excellent - no need to frig about with the iPhone clock and change the alarm sound to "stop playing". Perfect for me.
