radio.net - radio and podcast Reviews

I’m very glad I found radionet and enjoy it a great deal. However, often when I switch to a station, I get a full screen ad. Some of which I can skip, others I have to wait for, which is aggravating. And these aren’t ads from the stations, but from radionet provider, because I get them no matter what station I select and they’re always before I can listen. I understand that to offer such a service requires revenue, but banner ads or something less intrusive should serve the purpose better.

For approximately the past 4 or 5 days, the commercials have been stepping on the content. I just don’t enjoy trying to hear the news or weather and instead hearing the same commercials over and over instead.
I’m receiving a very small Social Security, and don’t have money for the premium version but this constantly hearing the exact same repeated message over riding another or whatever, is so aggravating!

I’ve been listening to Whtz z100 radio for along time using radionet, everything was great, but I don’t know exactly since when radionet gone bad cuz it stops playing my favorite station every five seconds and needs to be restarted, please fix this, I will return and update my review then
Upd: radio z100 works just smooth and fine right now, thank you very much radionet rules!!

I love radionet, but even with the paid version, you are going to have to listen to ads. I don’t believe the developer’s statement that the individual stations include the ads because no matter what country you listen to, you are going to hear the same ads. I’m hearing the same doughnut commercials tonight whether I listen to a station in the US or Germany. Know what you are going to get before buying the “ad-free” version.

I enjoyed using go radio very much, on safari. After a while I downloaded radionet , and I am very please with the service. It is not overrun by ads , only one at the beginning. Also, I can listen to whatever station I choose from anywhere, even when I exit radionet ! 10/10 would and have recommended.

It’s a great app and I really like that I can listen to a wide variety of streaming music and radio stations. The problem is commercials continually cut in while you are listening or streaming your music or radio station. Sometimes it doesn’t connect at all and you have to close out radionet and reopen it. It happens far too often. Also if you get a phone call, radionet will cut out, which it should, but will not automatically reconnect when you end the call.

Downloaded update this morning which has rendered radionet inoperative. A fresh download of app will not restore to Prime.

UPDATE: Support was very quick to respond to my request for help. Issue was resolved by leaving app open for a few minutes to fully launch. App works perfectly again. Thank you support team!

radionet has a seemingly unlimited number of streaming stations in every genre. Most of the stations are commercial free, good quality sound, and radionet itself has a clear interface and almost no ads (just some unobtrusive banners). Amazing app, it runs in the background so I keep it on all the time, it’s replaced every other music app on my phone.

So blessed by thisFamily Radio ministry for many many years.
it is here I learned the Love, Grace and Mercy of God Consistently unwavering truths that can not be denied, Family Radios music in and of itself is a ministry so soothing coupled with the thought provoking sermons , bible readings and sound Doctrine God has used along my Christian journey to teach my heart many truths and practical Christianity Thank you Family Radio for your Faithfulness

radionet is really great. It works and has a great list of stations. I don’t experience any drops outs or issues related to radionet itself and find the design to be good. The only negative is that radionet has no CarPlay support. I want to pay for the prime feature since I feel it is worth it but cannot bring myself to do so unless this has CarPlay support. That would seriously make radionet 100%.

Loved using radionet for years, but now recently ads keep on popping up each time I choose a different station and it's inconvenient now. I understand ads is a part of it when it's free, before it would pop up once in a while, now it's every station. Guess you're trying to get people to buy premium. I'll think about it and use different apps to go to different station. Other than that this is a good radio app.

Somehow this gets me my news and then can turn off after I’ve fallen asleep by way of the included Sleep Timer. Sometimes it will drop the feed on the iPhone but the same station will play on my other phone.

One trick that usually works is to change to another station and then go right back to what I had been listening to.

I, like many, have had tremendous lagging problems with radionet .
I’d open app - wait FOREVER for home page to show.
I’d select Favorites - FOREVER to show.
Created 2 new free accounts and re-installed app AT LEAST 20 times, re-booted after EVERY re-install - all to no effect.
On the "21st" reinstall, I powered OFF iPad and LEFT IT OFF fo at least 5 minutes.
BINGO! Capacitors take varying amounts of time to "bleed off". Until they do, they’ll hold voltage and the the system WON’T TOTALLY CLEAR if you Power Off with an immediate Power Up.
Sooooo... Re-install - Power Off DEVICE - WAIT AT LEAST 5 MINUTES - POWER UP.
Worth a try before cursing and giving up.

If you’re into house/dance/techno then this radio station is all you need as it plays a wide variety of music in these categories. Every time I hear great music from this station it reminds me of the beach bars and clubs back in Mykonos and summer time partying. Keep up the great work και ευχάριστο.

An otherwise very usable app that takes way too long on average to achieve a stable station connection in non-mobile settings (often worse when mobile). Taking anywhere from five seconds to quite a while longer (on average) doesn’t bode well against another radio app I have which grabs the same stations in roughly half a second or less.

So very nice to bring our favorite radio station into our home in America. Now we are able to listen to HR 4 every day as do our friends in Bad Kissingen! This is a nice mix of music and a bit of new, too! Thank you for offering it in this format!!!

Overall radionet is quite good and provides access to radio stations from around the world. What I don’t like is how every time you change stations you have to listen to a new series of commercials. I would prefer it if the commercials only repeated every so often.

App does absolutely nothing. Installed on my iPhone 7. Only thing that will play is an add, not one station one will play. Open radionet go to the station I want, add plays, then to the stations page opens comes up . Hit the play button nothing happens. Reload the station, listen to the add, station won’t play. radionet has never worked, been trying it off and open for months. Everyone I know how has tried radionet has the same result.

Recent releases of radionet are terrible. Unresponsive and slow, crashes frequently. Worst thing is most of the time it will not run in the background or when the phone is locked. Occasionally it will, but mostly not. And when it stops in the background it will just crash when you bring it to the foreground. radionet used to be very good but has gone downhill. Time to find a replacement.

Please fix cast selection screen background when the phone is on dark mode. White text on white background is hard to read.

Update: fixed!

Quite happy with radionet! I can listen to radio from different countries and there’s no signup or anything. A few ads here and there but no big deal. Very helpful app when you’re trying to learn a new language!

Like station when it works. Now keeps saying sorry problem and won't connect. Few days ago played but stopped after couple minutes, after 3 times just gave up. Already took it off my phone because of these problems, no reason. To keep it on my ipad when it won't work. To bad because I enjoy this station. It never seems to get fixed.

First, I was happy to know radionet is free and I can listen to my fav local station on iPhone 8 with clear sound. I put it all night but
From day 2, it says “no
Connection to internet”, which was not true at all.
I cannot listen to it after all so I deleted it. And while I was writing this review, I thought what if I download it again. Yup now it works.
But obviously, something connectivity ? Is wrong.

An actual app that delivers. I would say I really like radionet, but that would be an understatement. Sports, rock, jazz, etc. and is just the free one. Thinking about getting the paid app with less commercials... either way, it is great
For me, a great Disco station from the Netherlands...DISCO DIVA all day , all night...
***update***
as soon as got the paid version, radionet included, transformed it self into the most annoying of them all by never working.... total junk

radionet is super easy to use even for a 60’s something non tech savvy kind of guy. I live in Kansas and am a long time Raider football fan and enjoy listening to updates from a non biased radio format from the Bay Area.

-thanks ma

The same ads over and over and over. I will be shopping at The Home Depot, not Lowe’s. Disney, Mickey Mouse will not be seeing me. And, that Jay Forner guy, ha ha. Advertisers, you are wasting your money attempt to ram your message at customers and potential customers. Just the opposite. I find FO J fagotthis tactic one where I will not patronize any business that has to resort to this method of getting your message out. Why not Robo Call! That works, but an educated consumer will not tolerate it.

radionet houses radio from all over the world and not just popular radio. I use to listen to the stations I grew up on from my hometown. Clean and easy interface. Keep it app! 👍👍
