2.8 out of 5
Poor quality

App locks up. Looses connection for no reason. Rarely can count on more than 10 mins of listening before it crashes

Buggy

Soo many issues on an app that used to be fine

Commercials

Commercials are repetitive, and louder, much louder than regular programming. If you wear headphones you will likely damage them during commercials. This combined with dropouts in the programming make me give this only 2 stars. Fix both issues and it would be 5 star.
Update 12/17. Above problems still exist in addition to connectivity issues. Always buffering broadcast which causes audio interruptions. Possible at radio station source. WROK Rockford, Il. Lowered to one star.

CUTS OUT CONSTANTLY!

Ever since the iOS update to 11.2 radioPup constantly stops playing to buffer and I have to close out radioPup and reopen it. It will then repeat the same commercial it froze on just to freeze in the same spot! My internet connection is fine so it’s not a connection issue

Don’t bother... stopped working w ios13

Used to be one of my favorite apps, but I’ve been waiting months for them to update since it became non-functional after ios13. Then sent an email to inquire if there was a plan to update and got no reply so it’s time to delete ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Doesn’t work

I just got the iPhone 11 pro and none of the buttons work. Since I had to choose my favorite station that I listen to every morning that’s out of town and nothing happens when I press any of the buttons.

iOS 13 update

I’ve used radioPup for a few years now, but since the ios13 update, radioPup crashes and when I DO get it to open, most of the buttons/icons are missing. PLEASE FIX THIS! radioPup should’ve been ready for the update.

Does not work with ios 13

App no longer functional since upgrading to ios 13. Still works on my iPad (but will see since the update for that device comes out tomorrow)

Crashes

Crashes on launch on iPhone X

Barely works. Commercials not in sync with shows

I can barely listen. It never loads properly and the commercials are out of sync with my radio shows. It’s basically unusable.

WTH

App plays for a minute then starts buffering and won’t play

Used to work

I can’t select any of the menu options except new stations. I just set up my iPhone 11 with iOS 13. Loved radioPup before, but it doesn’t work now.

New update is ROTTEN

I don’t mind the ads-I understand that’s how free radio works. But this new update is HORRIBLE. radioPup used to open and, if you had a station “favorited” would immediately begin to play. Might be on air, might be on a commercial, but would go to whatever station you listened to. Which is what listening to the radio is supposed to be about.
But now, radioPup loads and just goes to a paid commercial and a loading screen, even if you have a station favorited. I don’t want to stare at a loading screen, I want to LISTEN TO THE RADIO. I can find a different app that actually PLAYS THE RADIO.

Cuts in for random commercials not in regular broadcast

This cuts in with commercials and useless trivia in the middle of the broadcast. It's very frustrating and very annoying.

Why landscape mode

I don’t understand why you force landscape mode on iPad users. This is the most infuriating unchangeable setting.

Always pushing external ads from Ad Council

The two stars for my rating are for being able to listen to my favorite hockey team’s radio broadcast. However, whenever the game goes to commercials, instead of the commercials from my local radio station, I hear these external ads from the Ad Council that range in subjects from hair care products to adoption. Never can be sure that these will end before the game starts again.

Pretty good. Not perfect but, pretty good.

Simple, clean, effective. Works great for when I'm at the office (in the basement) and wanting to listen to my local talk radio station(s).

My only complaint (and I'm reaching) is that I could swear that, somehow, external ads are interrupting the live radio feed. I'll be listening to a live broadcast when suddenly it's abruptly cut off and an ad starts running. This does not happen when listening to the same radio station, in my car, on my way in to the office. I imagine that this is at the discretion of content providers but because radioPup must be facilitating this, I have to ding it one star.

Overall it's a good app and I use it every day.

Love it

Great way to listen to local radio

Simple. Reliable. Fun.

radioPup has got to be one of the best radio station apps I have used yet. I don't live in Texas anymore but I can still listen to some of my favorite stations in clear, high-def, and stable results! I just love the seamless interaction it has with iPhone 4 when running in the background. I can listen AND buy songs without missing a beat in the current track playing. I have yet to find any complications with radioPup and any of my other entertainment tools. Not to mention ITS FREE! get it now before the sellers decide to start charging as more stations are added.

Love this app!

I absolutly LOVE radioPup. I am listening to my favorite radio station as I'm typing this. radioPup is simple to use and I love the colors. You can favorite both radio stations and songs when they come on. I would recommend radioPup to anyone. The only problem I have with radioPup is when I go to search for local stations it comes up as nothing. I think that is because I live about 30 miles from a big city. The station comes in crystal clear though which is great! I love how easy it is to go straight to your favorite radio station.
