Radio FM: Music, News & Sports Reviews

by The Man Who Never Was

So, ads are to be expected from something free. However, it has gotten much worse. Now, instead of ads just coming up during operation, full-screen ads come up immediately upon opening RadioFM . And while most ads provide an “X” or “Close”, a new breed of ads do no such thing - they simply cover the entire screen forever, rendering RadioFM completely worthless. Lending Tree, Lower My Bills, Quicken Loans, I’m talking about you. Either RadioFM developer is totally oblivious to this new development, or doesn’t care. But you know what, if you so entirely encase your app in ads as to render it unusable, then what’s the point of even developing RadioFM in the first place?

Update: Sept 13
After the most recent update, the stream I added manually stops playing when I lock my phone or when I view another app.

Update: May 7
Seems to be fixed.

Update: Apr 19
The “Now playing” screen is broken when playing a stream I added manually. Initially the volume goes real low, and if I lock my phone the stream STOPS PLAYING. Again, this is on the “Now playing“ screen.

Update: Apr 14
Sleep Timer issue fixed! Thank you!!

Update: Apr 8
I still do not have a Sleep Timer option when selecting the three dots from the now playing screen. I am playing a stream that I added manually.

Update: Apr 5
I still do not have a Sleep Timer option when selecting the three dots from the now playing screen (swiping up on the play button). The only option I have is “Remove from Recent”.

Update: Mar 31
Still no sleep timer.

Update: Mar 27
After downloading the most recent update today, the sleep timer function is still missing. I followed the instructions to find the sleep timer in the new interface and it is not present. The instructions were clear and I followed them exactly, however, there was no sleep timer option.

In just the first five minutes of using RadioFM , I’ve seen more radio stations available than I know what to do with. And LIVE!!! But searching for a particular one is like trying to start a fire in the wind: the search drops each time I input a single letter, so I have to return back to the search bar to enter the next letter. And so on. Then RadioFM crashed. This is just the first five minutes.

When it works it’s amazing. When it doesn’t it’s painful.

RadioFM allows me to listen to many of my favorite radio stations, such as NPR and Fox News Radio, all while using background play, amassing a favorites list, and setting radio alarms; while all these features are useful, RadioFM does has some issues: namely, it is difficult and inconsistent to expand a station to full-screen few (it’s half-covered by the quick-access menu at the bottom of the screen) and the “x-button” used to minimize this same screen also doesn’t work well (at least not on the iPhone XR with its pull-down notification screen).

I dislike the advertisements; while I understand they must be present in order to fund the manufacturer, I personally am willing to pay a one-time fee to have them removed. I have heard of a premium version, but nowhere on RadioFM is this version accessible to my knowledge. I have also heard a whole myriad of features inaccessible to me for unknown reasons, such as the ability to modulate certain factors of the music being broadcasted.

Finally, there is a lack of national news stations. I could only find a single national news radio station (that being Fox News Radio), which is unfortunate as I enjoy hearing various perspectives on the news. I don’t blame RadioFM for this necessarily, as it could very well just be the state of current radio in this country.

Hope this review helps to change some things, or at least educate potential users as to this applications positives and negatives.

We all have our own tastes as people, I lived my entire life listening to different forms of rock. Mostly a fan of alt rock, but I kinda have an issue. It crashes when I’m trying to multitask through apps and when I come back to RadioFM it freezes or when I put my phone to sleep and unlock it, it crashes. And when I switched to iOS I feared RadioFM was gone and felt miserable, thankful it’s here but I really hope this gets fixed

Love the radio, but it needs an update badly. Needs a dark mode. Needs a better way to EASILY go to ur Favorites.
Just now; RadioFM is starting to buffer. Don’t know why. I restarted my phone 3x and it’s still buffering off and on. Could be my phone personally or ur app needs a update. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Overall, great radio app. Recommend to pple who want a radio on their phone. 😎

When my personal radio can’t pick up a station this is great to pick up and listen to the unfindable station and listening to other radio stations from other countries too!

You send me a review and I have only used RadioFM for eight minutes so how am I both to review something that I’ve only used for eight minutes care more about your people than you do reviews is my best suggestion

I really love RadioFM for who ever made RadioFM they rock. I really like the county by wildcat. If you have any more apps like this try to send them to me. Do you have rock on RadioFM I did not look? I really like how you can pick like if your is or Japan and other country’s and I like how I get to pick if I want to listen to pop country and all that stop. This is a really good app don’t forget to try to send me more apps that you make if you are going to make a other app. If you don’t make more you should because RadioFM is awesome. I am only 10 years old and I haven’t had RadioFM for a week and I am giving you five star rating for RadioFM. Plz make more of this this kind of stuf.

For the exception of the annoying pop up ads, RadioFM is great. Have not had any problems it. The broad selection of stations around the world and how they are categorized make it easy to navigate RadioFM . I highly recommend it.

I came across RadioFM after searching for a radio app that would help me connect to my roots..and i got so emotional I couldn’t hold back tears, thank you so much, you probably don’t know how you’re saving lives with RadioFM, from the bottom of my heart I thank you

by Osei6129

This by far the best radio app I’ve seen. I’ve tried several other ones and find this one is quite simple to use. I can pick live radio from almost anywhere in the world with absolute clarity. It’s like being there in the country we here the station is located. Thank you for this ingenious radio app.

I love RadioFM but haves a lot of ads and when you start RadioFM up on the new iPhone 12 pro max and the ad comes up you can’t press the X in the corner so I no longer can use RadioFM because it’s stuck on the ad.

by Buzekara

I already suggested another friend to use RadioFM because I love it so much. It has so many different radio station and I love podcasts that I can look through and choose what I want to listen when I’m driving my car. It has everything that is needed. I have no anything else to add or subtract from it.

I live in a different staff than where I grew up. On Christmas day I wanted nothing more but to listen to Spanish music from the station back home in New York City. This was the only app that had the correct Spanish station I was looking for. I blasted the music and danced all morning. Thank you for RadioFM! I wish that there was an ad-free version to buy. Would be an instant buy from me!

Hi Just got RadioFM. So far everything it says about it is absolutely true! This is very easy to use and for the most part all the station come in nice and clear. I haven’t got all the way through it yet but there are tons of different stations. Although there are options to purchase upgrades but what they say is free. Is absolutely free!
I’m very happy I got RadioFM. I do recommend getting RadioFM. Very pleased.
TRY RadioFM ITS FREE!!! 😎 📻 😎

Yes, smooth jazz can be very, very smooth; almost to the point of being not there, or, in the case of this channel, in the background of your mind. You’re listening, but the tune, the lyrics are secondary to whatever is going on in the real world around you. That seems to be appropriate; in a sense, you are not listening at all, but tending to your own business and allowing the music to softly interfere with with the immediate reality which confronts you. Let it be.

After using RadioFM for years it would be a diservice to the makers if I did not properly review this amazing tool!

Access to radio around the world! Plays with RadioFM or phone closed, never drops signal! Great for working out, drawing, or those days when you need to flail around the house and explore a world of audio wonderment only limited by your imagination. Tons of curated stations offer the radio experience of yesteryear with talented dj’s that actually know how to put a set together that leaves the listener in a state of awe!

Bottom line if you enjoy radio this is what radio should have been! Treat yourself!

This is a wonderful app. I listened to a radio drama, got to listen to stations from across the world like China and more. Why? Cause it’s there!

I really appreciate the creator of RadioFM making it as inclusive for all who just love classic radio but don’t wanna deal with all the hassle of account creation and iap just to listen to your favorite public radio stations.

While a few of my fav stations weren’t working, I found plenty of alternatives that played what I love and more. I only hope I can find more stations that play radio dramas because that was fun to listen to!

Thanks, devs. I like how currently popup ads aren’t annoyingly intrusive with playing videos and more just image of game apps.

10/10 only radio app I need on ios. Thanks!

I hate RadioFM because I can’t do anything on it. I need to learn how to do it right away. You need a walkthrough at beginning when first opens app. It won’t let me play or listen to live at all. All I wanted to do was listen to radio and my favorite stations but this ruined it for me. Worst app ever!!😡😡😡😡. Never getting/buying anything from RadioFM maker again! It’s also very very slow and I’m on a very fast network but it takes ten seconds for one of my letters or numbers to type.

My friend Keith walked me thru how to download RadioFM and now I am hooked and hooked up! Missed listening to my Trini soca music and local news. Feels like I teleported to Port of Spain! Incredible reception! Happy hearing this infectious music and 2020 soca releases! LOVE IT! Thanks!

by Villarjo_

It’s pretty awesome that I can listen to music from all around globe. Some of my favorite radio stations are at my fingertips. I think this is the best app out there. You won’t be disappointed!

Among the functions and improvements I want the developer to add, I would rather they could add a paid version to avoid the advertisements appearing on the usage. Generally I am satisfied with RadioFM. Small and speedy.

by Stargurl 02

I am new to this country, and was introduced to this radio station by friends. I must say I love what you djs do. Informative and music to suit my age. Keep it up. I love the Friday and Saturday evenings hype. Party moods. I also love that Sunday morning sermon by Alfred baptist church. You guys know how to mix it up.

by Lmc.85

This is a really good app but it stopped working after a day of downloading I checked my Wi-Fi and it’s open but it put I checked my Wi-Fi and it’s open but it could be a bad signal but still a really good app love all the stations!

by Tgsauers

Love RadioFM great stations world wide (C89.5 is my favorite dance channel especially since I worked in the station back when I attended the school that runs it)...just need the ability to cast to Chromecast or Apple TV, then it would truly 5 stars.

by EliNOVA
