Radioplayer - Radio & Podcast

music does not continue playing while phone is locked or on another app such as email.

Fails to open. It used to be good, not so now

Randomly drops ads in during interviews, news casts! Inserting ads and *RESUMING* podcasts is not the same as *INTERRUPTING* LIVE broadcasts is unacceptable.

Frequently waking up in the background draining battery

good only app I can find kissfm etc that works

ads all the time. and randomly stops playing when I don't touch anything

It's great when it actually works but it frequently crashes or won't open properly

My radioplayer won't work. I'm heartbroken. I love this app. I just moved and it was the only way that I am surviving. Every time I try to open my app, my whole phone goes red, and there is a message "we're sorry that you are having trouble, please send us a report", BUT I even send the report *it is now Oct. 25, 2026. The app worked fairly seamlessly until a month or more ago. Now I have to download EVERYtime I turn it on. FRUSTRATING!

The app constantly disconnects. At first I thought it was because I was driving and my service provider was at fault, but even at home where I get excellent reception, it plays for about 2 or 3 minutes and stops.

Past could download magic radio previous eposide eg catch up magic radio chilled radio know cannot access it why that please do tell us.....

Great app for Android Auto

Really,Cool,Yes,Hey!.

Verge go clear

perfect for me to scan and save DAB stations I like 👍

commercial every 2 minutes, that means every song is cut by a commercial, just to have another commercial from the radio station

tetuahpocoyo

This app started great but now it has had up to 3 advertisements within 5 minutes with one of them cutting off a traffic report for 30 seconds. Way too much. I deleted it.

trying to listen to radio show and constantly interrupting with ads. recommend OTA or another app.

Uses too much battery in background.

Rubbish app

All of these commercials drive me absolutely crazy, ask Google something and next thing you know commercial alarm goes off commercial your phone rings and you hang up a commercial. I would pay two three bucks a month to get rid of all these freaking commercials.

spam

why play adds on repeat???????

Had enough of the rediculous amount of ads that play everytime I start up this app. Uninstalled it and now using VLC.

I've been using this app for a few years now and lately its decided not to tune in. Cuts out every few mins. Considering its an advertising app its the worst I've used in years. Fix it or go.

keeps dropping out

Need to be improved here and there. Pressing the "search" menu should automatically expand the keyboard so you can search directly without extra taps. Back gesture on Android quits app instead of going back or minimizing the full-screen player. You could also think of including Apple Music 1 and such digital radio channels that TuneIn has. And it seems to use an extreme amount of battery. Need simpler way to browse other countries.

Been a "Radioplayer" user for years now. But the latest version is fundamentally unusable (intrusive ads, forced station choices, no BBC) and I've now uninstalled it and (for now) substituted RadioUK.. Too bad, I was quite happy with Radioplayer until it was revamped... There's plenty of alternatives!

Thinks I'm in Toronto but I'm nowhere near and location is on working well. Gave me 10 stations to choose from and that's it. Waste of time.

Ridiculously limited number of stations. I open the app and allow it to detect my location, which it did, successfully: Croydon. It then offers me 23 stations from all over the country (e.g. Cheshire, Bournemouth, etc). The most absurd thing is the message at the top of the page: "Radioplayer allows you to select your favourite stations." Unfortunately, my favourite is not any of the 23 offered. There is a "Continue" button at the bottom of the page but it is disabled so I can't proceed.

Too much advertising!!

update made it unusable. constantly stops working. uninstalled for other app.

won't play on my Samsung galaxy watch 7, tried everything possible any ideas please 🙏😔👎

Easy to use so very happy. For me the best radio app.

uses way to much data compared to other radio apps

I love the sound from this radio station

It will just stop and you'll have to listen to a commercialor two in the middle of listening to a program. It's quite stupid.

UPDATE: I had to uninstall and reinstall, but it is working now. i usually love the app, but I was told I had to update thw app, which I did, but when I open it it co minutes to take me to the screen telling me I need to update. When I click update, again, and am taken to the play store, again, the option to upis gone (of course) and only the open button is there, which take me back to thw 'you must update' screen.

glitchy at times

good

junk! just redirects you to the website to make an account for the station you want to listen to so I will continue to use alternative sources 👍

we play this most days on our home

i could not update the app

alright radio player worldwide you can update the radio player Canada app on the play store now it's the 12th of July

Variety of music to listen to

by far the most stable and versatile radio player I have known.

The 30 second ad when opening the app is ridiculous, please remove that, I'm fine with the odd one here or there when staring to listen to a station, but it's super annoying, especially if you have to quit and reopen the app and it pops up each time

I want to use this app as an alarm again for Radio 1. At the time my alarm is supposed to go off, it just opens the Radio 1 page on BBC sounds but doesn't actually play it. I get the BBC choose to directly not offer their stations through Radio player but why would you allow me to choose Radio 1 as my alarm if it doesn't work. Good thing i tested it or I'd be late for work

I would really like to have a radio app where I can listen without an internet connection, please Thank you for replying I give you 5 stars for your answer, keep up the good work!

What is it? Not even loading Useless carbage. And gettin' worse every day. Remove this thing.

I want to pic my own stations not the ones closest to me. my favorite stations are on the other coast and central Canada.

Draining my battery whilst the app isn't open - I've finally figured out it's this app which is causing my battery life to be non-existent. Generally a good app but this is a deal breaker, also what is the app doing in the background all the time?

I have used this app for many years. Now I have updated to Ultra fast Broadband and this app can't cope with it. Stopping, glitching etc. So I'm off to another app that will work.

too many ads. shouldn't stop my program to play an ad that is clearly not part of the station I'm listening to. Ill be looking for an alternative app. high quality mode is off.

can't get my favorite radio stations

never had adds before. now adds on top of the radio adds. redundant much. how about providing song details while playing.

It has become useless since I can't connect with my car anymore.

Your app used to be good, but recently, it stops for no apparent reason a couple of minutes after I started it. Sometimes, you can restart the station, sometimes you have to restart the app. This renders the app unusable. That's why I've given 1 star and uninstalled it. I've since installed a different app, and that works flawlessly. Edit: It only does this when you have this useless app running in the background.

need a US version please and more rock stations and then I will five star thank you

Forced ads upon opening the app delay being able to quickly access your chosen programming. More recently, the same ads play once the app has opened and you select your station. It can literally take a full minute to access your program. Deal breaker. I've used this app for several years and put up with the start-up ad. Now it has become unbearable.

app keeps telling me that its locked for my safety., not even driving . as just sitting waiting for it to load. even tho I updated. it won't work. im over it. im deleting it

literally listed a dozen stations maybe 4 of which were in Toronto. none of which were the station that pointed me to the app. How am I supposed to find the station I am looking for?

This app is the best

I've found the adds a little annoying but tolerable up until lately. Now there are constant scare ads (your browser is full or you have a virus) that constantly open my browser and try and get me to download third party software. I've had to remove the app from my phone.

This appp used to be good, but it has started to close frequently, requiring restart

Radioplayer- Radio & Podcast is the station radio of all-time in lifetime. Thank You 😊🙏.

Used to be good but recently the app just closes randomly constantly.

I love this app

Great app, but needs too many clicks to get to favourite stations

so bad. only local radio

After using it for years they decided to update the app and made it the most unwelcoming app. I nearly uninstalled it. Lost all of my favourite stations, then it won't let you proceed without selecting at least one new favourite from a selection of stations they select. Then I have to do the same for podcasts? WHY IN THE WORLD DO I NEED TO DO THIS? JUST LET ME PLAY RADIO

The best and blessed radio app that serves worldwide spreading joy of radio listening! Done! 💓 👍✅🎉

Used to be the best. Now the worst, forever cutting out. Don't bother with it, REMOVED

For me it's almost perfect except for when I use it with android auto. The favourite that you setup in the app are lost in Android auto, in fact it very rarely shows you the last station you listened too and have to go into the app to find your station again. It's a shame as I use it extensively in the car for music but it's a pain in the arse to have to find your favourite station nearly every time.

Since 2025, when I last submitted a review, the app has updated many times. The alarm rarely works now. if I use my doorbell app (have had 2 different ones now) to monitor live video, for sure the alarm won't work the next day, and a phone restart is required. Good thing I have a dog to wake me too. And now ads are interrupting my listening. i keep missing the news and talk content as ads sporadically interrupt. I've used this app for years, but it's now too unreliable to continue. v8.7.0.213

try to listen to a radio station and the ads from this app cut off songs/news in it. not worth using this app, switching to seekr.

This app spams commercials. You open the app, commercial. You select a station station, commercial. Lose service? Commercial. Pause the station, commercial. Heaven forbid that you would want to use speech to text while using this app while listening to a sports broadcast. iHeartradio does not do this. Do better Radioplayer.

Preplay ads wreck the experience.

When I downloaded this app (about 2 years ago) it was perfect and I reviewed it as " does what it says on the tin". Every update since then has been slower and crashed more often than the one before. I have an alternative on trial that doesn't look as pretty but works better.

original

Absolutely terrible app. Takes literally minutes to load if you are lucky. Often have to restart several times before you can listen to anything. Go and find another better app if you actually want to listen to the radio not be faffing around for five minutes every time.

Car, although Android based, is not supported? Unbelievable!

this app takes a million years to load up, even windows 95 boots up faster than this useless thing. it's the 21st century sort it out

fun

Toimi ei...

huono palvelu toimii heikosti. Haluaisin vaan radiota kuunnella, mutta ei pysty siihenkään pätkimättä.

It forces a 30 second ad on you every time you hit pause and then play again. Enough. We already hear the ads on the stations, and you got your lick in when I opened the app. Stop spamming them. I just downloaded a different third party app to listen to the same station without the BS ads so you've lost a customer who used to be part of your ad revenue.

nouvelle version de l'application qui se coupe tout le temps. impossible d'écouter quoi que ce soit

I want the radio, NOT your app ADs, then the station Ads!

works.. but got slow loading up also I don't want to use any on the load up please remove

i love it 👍👍👍👍👍

Why restrict listeners to only radio stations from the country defined in the profile? This is just another anti-consumer attempt to restrict user choices. Geo-locking radio stations is a new low, specially considering some are publicly-funded

Good App

seems like a good app. would be good if the heart stations had the album art instead of the chanel logo

so many ads! sometimes they just randomly interrupt the program you're listening to and then the app crashes and I need to restart and go through two ads just to open it again.

Alarm clock not working. started to work now stopped again mar16

love it mostly, however it just switches off without warning mid conversation mid tune. Very frustrating on an interview show.

one of latest updates messed the battery life.it seems that the Player is constantly running in background and consuming a large amount of a battery. so much that the phone battery life drop become noticeable. e.g cca 20-25% per day

Really good layout and able to listen to all UK radio stations in HQ audio where available. Alas only the radio in your country. Would be perfect if one could open in 'Easy mode' by default. Happy to rate 5 stars compared to rival apps.

terrible interface. search function does not work effectively. when you first download and start using the app forces you to choose a favourite station from preselected stations but doesn't let you search for a station that it doesn't recommend. used to be more user friendly but has lost functionality. none of my previous issues have been resolved and the app continues to play progressively more ads. it plays an ad anytime you open the app change the radio player it's not even worth listening

It used to be good but now big brother has taken over. So what do I mean! Well someone has decided to give the app a tweak so that it knows when you are in your vehicle, the app then becomes completely inactive (for your safety!) which makes the app is unusable. Even as a passenger I can't use the app to reload or tune to a different station. I previously gave this app 5 stars but since I can't use it in my vehicle I now give it just 1 star.

This is a very good app for doing what it is meant to do but the reason for the 3 stars is the amount of adverts. I mainly use it in conjunction with Android Auto to listen to on my way home from my night shift. I leave work at 6am and it takes me 15 minutes to drive home. There are about 2 minutes of adverts when it first comes on then after the adverts, you get about 2 or 3 minutes of radio then another 2 minutes of adverts. So I get about 6 minutes of radio on my journey.

Asked for my location so it can show me local radio then offered me choice of 23 UK stations. I didn't want any of them but the "continue" button was greyed out unless I chose one. Force-stopped the app and restarted, this time I got the search available. It can't find the station I want however despite me actually listening to that station right now on my laptop. Also can't connect to my WiFi speaker which works fine with Spotify. Overall - no radio for me 😒

I have the radioplayer installed on another device, and get 30+ stations to choose from. On another device, the application forces me to choose a location, and picks 8 stations to choose from. when trying to choose another location, the result is the same. I have uninstall and re-installed the app, and even chosen different countries, but the result is the same bad one. so, it has become a BAD app.

radioplayer allows you to remember your favourite station. Then there was a list of stations, none of which I wanted, but you have to choose if you want to continue the setup. Ok, I've chosen a random one just to continue. Then radioplayer allows you to choose your favourite podcast. Of course I'm not interested of the list presented but you have to pick one to continue. At that point , I deleted the app. WHAT A CON !!!

This was and still should be the Go-To internet Radio app, however since a recent upgrade it no longer works flawlessly. It will now stop and buffer (WiFi or 5G) or will stutter playback. I have cleared cache, re installed and basically had limited success. To prove it was the app I used the radio play function from a smart speaker app (Name of a river or Jungle) through my phone to a BT speaker with no problems. This was the best player out there, the top dog, please fix it.

The sound starts playing long before the loading screen finishes. it just sits there spinning with no way to change anything except the volume with your normal controls. I might use this when I'm away from home, but with the ads cutting off the end if the news or some other dialogue, it won't be my go-to solution.

I can't add a negative star, this is closest I can get. I used to like this app. now it is PITA. I will give it a break, maybe it is the Samsung A15 I am using, which Samsung should be embarrassed to have its name on, but I don't think the phone is to blame. the app just stops working, seems to be when the screen goes off, but it never used to that, and why would anyone want a radio app that needs to have the screen active to work, sucking battery. I need to find something better.

App works as designed and I love the idea of being able to listen to a wide selection of radio. However, the fatal flaw is the supposed "safety" feature that locks out when the device is connected wirelessly to a vehicle. When I'm driving is when I generally want to listen to radio. I can use virtually any other audio streaming app when I'm driving, I see no logical reason why this one should be locked out. As such, this app is essentially useless to me. Edit: Hello? Radioplayer? Any response?

This radio app is the best out there in terms of layout, style, sound quality and finding your favourite radio stations quickly. However, I have been disappointed with Radioplayer lately. I can no longer listen to BBC radio stations on here any more. Today, I cannot play any radio stations because there is an error when I try and load. I prefer the app how it was a year ago. Shame Radioplayer has so much potential.

This app used to be the best radio app. Since the update it doesn't work very well. I seem to have issues when using it in my car car via bluetooth. Also when i open the app i get a black screen and it takes several attempts before it opens. Sometimes the screen freezes and you cant change between stations. I recommended this app (old version) to so many people. Wished i hadn't now. When it works its great.

Dreadful drain on the battery as it keeps running in the background, even after you think you've closed it by swiping it off the lock screen. Stats say it's used 10% of my battery today, despite only listening to the radio for 15 mins. I used to use this app years ago and uninstall for this same reason then, assumed it would have been fixed by now. Uninstalled, again

Really great & useful app for finding radio stations you wouldn't easily find on radio, & useful for on the go. Pros: The favourites carry over from the old version of the app, & the favourites are easier to access via the panel. A-Z is still there, but under the Live tab. Cons: The recent update has slightly broke the app; it is slow & can crash easily, especially when loading a station or sorting favourite stations. The new UI isn't as good as the old one (confusing & ugly).

Was happy for the app prior to the newest update, had no issues at all. But then version 8 happened. The app became so slow that i could tap a station then proceed to wait for about a minute before the app reacted, some times it simply just dont react unless i tap 2 or 3 times and then takes eternity to load the station. Some times i even need to restart the app before it will establish a connection to a station of my choice. How come after a single update the app goes from great to abysmal?

It's fine, gets you access to radio on your phone but requires a 30 second ad when you open the app, difficult search to find certain stations and can sometimes have poor connection no matter your internet speed. HUGE downside is even after closing the app it continues to run in the background (nothing playing) and eats up a huge chunk of your battery without you knowing.

There is commercials playing when loading the app, commercials playing when launching the radio stream of your choice, there is commercials cutting/muting your favorite radio show. There is more commercial playing from this app the there is a on the radio station I'm listening to. If you loose cell signal for a short period of time, the stream don't always start automatically, but the app commercials will play in loop.

Many bugs have been worked out and this app is pretty good now. My only complaint is while using it with android auto. Pressing the mute button on my steering wheel, briefly mutes the app for half a second but the volume immediately goes back to previous volume. If I want to mute the app while it's playing, I have to turn the volume down to 0 itself instead of just pressing the steering wheel mute button. Spotify has no problem with this, but Radio player can't do it.

Update: recent updates = even more ads. Everything time you lose connection, more ads, interrupted by call? more ads. Removing another star. Avoid. App has become garbage, as it regularly goes unresponsive which followed by a mandatory 30 second AD on restart. Unacceptable. Why should I listen to ads to tune into the regular ads? The app is owned collectively by the stations so this is double dipping.

Forced 30 second ADS on startup... Really? It's incredibly annoying, please remove that garbage. Also, if I'm listening to an out of market station, I don't need local ads shoehorned in there either that are unskippable (even if I stop then restart the radio stream). Just plain awful. Avoid this app, use another alternative.

Seems to work well and a good variety of stations. It's annoying having to listen to a commercial at the beginning and it's twice the volume of what the actual radio stations play afterwards. We listen to the advertisements on the radio stations anyways so I don't understand why that has to be at the beginning.

Used to be good. Now constantly interups mid show, to play a 30 second ad . Usually at the start of the news then takes a thirty to resume. So, there's no news. I guess ads are more important than the news. Don't get me wrong here the ads are better than the news usually. Since I wrote this, the ads have at least doubled. I've moved to xm and Spotify.

I started with radioplayer 18-24 months ago, and it was not very good at the best of times. Such as can't find a signal, you're offline, or it would just stop streaming, to name a few. These days, as long as I have an ample amount of cellular service, the radio station I'm playing streams flawlessly, I love it these days. This app is all I use for music streaming. I have had no issues with this app, and I hope y'all enjoy it as well

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. This used to be a neat, useful app. I started it this morning and it insisted on upgrading, which took a long time and lost all my favourite stations. How am I expected to remember all my favourite stations? The interface is nasty and sluggish, and it's really hard to re-order the favourites; and why are new favourites put at the top rather than the end?

I used to use this app religiously to listen to Winnipeg talk show radio stations. However, within the past year, this app has become nothing more than ads, ads, ads!! It's insane! I can't even pause the radio without listening to more ads, and it became unbearable to the point that I deleted the app. I moved to TuneIn. Your greed ruined this app. It used to be so good! 👋

It started going a bit iffy & 'fussy' about a year ago. Then updates would not install unless I MANUALLY uninstalled the app before the update. In doing this I would lose all my favourites & have to reset up settings. It's pathetic. I've un-installed it. ....Why do some apps get ruined by rewrites?....There's an old saying: 'If it works, don't fix it'.

I'm VERY happy with this app! I've only had it for a few days, and set it up NOT to bombard me with adverts etc.... and so far, so good. It has a HUGE amount of stations to choose from. It seems SO MUCH BETTER that another, heavily promoted app that I uninstalled because, despite setting that to NOT allow adverts, it started to show them anyway - and some couldn't easily be turned off either!!!. It's early days... but, so far, THIS app has worked perfectly. VERY IMPRESSED!

Too many commercials! Alarm goes off, stop the music and play a commercial, lose WiFi, play a commercial, join WiFi guess what! Play a commercial!!! Sometimes it's not just one commercial, sometimes it three different commercials on a loop. I hear more commercials than music most times I use this app now. Used to be a good app for radio now it seems to be just a commercial player. Sad really multi billion dollar company and just a sell out to adverts. Don't think I'll use this much anymore.

App is fine - works for what I need it to do, though I do sometimes wish the delay between live radio and app wasn't so lengthy.. My biggest complaint is the annoying (ALWAYS Pelton) Ad when the app launches. I GUESS understand needing to do ads (though, the radio station also does ads, so is this really necessary?) but could the ad NOT be 30 seconds long? If I don't sit there and watch my phone while the ad runs, my screen times out because it's so long, and that causes the stations to not work

After installing update it works as expected the first time opening the app. Every time after that it requires a hard boot to get it to open. Radio Player Canada was fantastic. This one is terrible. Clearing cache, reinstalling, nothing works. Hopefully you fix it. I'm getting tired of having to restart my phone everything I use. Downloaded Spotify for the first time ever tonight. Dec 30 2023 update. Whay do I always have to reboot my samsung note every time I use it now

This new update had made it even worse. Auto play on startup doesn't work. Doesn't always display all stations. And you have to restart app a lot to get it to play. Great update guys👍 Sort it out Edit. Not got better in the last few weeks/months. After years of use it's now time to say bye radioplayer *Update- after reinstalling after 3+months I can confirm there are still major issues. Worst is that it doesn't resume playing and you have to restart the app loads of times

No longer worth using. Used to be a great resource. Needed to check traffic reports but had no am signal? Just use the app. Now, after an update, the UI is awful and it plays a lengthy ad everytime you open it meaning you literally can't quickly open to check a report anymore. Deleted and won't be downloading again. Granted I never used this for anything other than AM730 in Vancouver, or other am traffic radio if road tripping on my bike, but I'm still disappointed by the lose of this app.

Chromecast is not working in this app! The old version was working perfectly so it's clearly a regression and unfortunately I've been forced to download the new one! what was the purpose for you guys ? Collecting data I guess..ok but you should be able keep your app working properly...I am switching to another app!

Crashes all the time. Give us the option to use the older app please or lose a listener. Just use the new app button on the old app, no one will know & we have a working app again. Thanks for your reply. It's getting worse. Please work on the background part of the app. It crashes after a phone call, use another app etc. Every time. It's not changed. The app is terrible

*Update: Now forced to use this one and still having issues with alarm not working. Absolute joke of an app that doesn't work properly. Got a notification from the Radio Player Canada app that an updated app was available, but the quality of this app is terrible. My alarm doesn't turn on half of the time and the station will show as playing, but nothing is actually playing. The app also stops quite frequently on its own. Will be going back to the Canada one as I've had no issues with that one

Last year this was the best app out there. Now after a big update they have ruined this once great app. To be fair they have fixed the last big issue I had, but the one big problem left is the connection loss. Once you lose connection if is moving from your home network to your mobile network or just a loss of connection this app now freezes and you have to close the app totally and reopen it, which is not fun when you are in the car. Please fix this issue Radioplayer.

requests repeated downloads for new version over and over again. delete it reinstall still prompts for new version install over and over again. thanks for the reply. the old app was deleted due to the frustration of constantly being asked to upsate. the new app is having the same issues. I can't be the only person with this people 10-17 still garbage. the last version had little to no issues. the new version is complete garbage. can't negotiate a change in connect via wifi or Bluetooth.

This app used to drop all stations after a while. After upgrade, I could only put 2 stations in, one was great (680 news), the other (CBC Toronto) would not load. The search for stations was terrible. Does HR and tech use another platform ? They don't use this one or they would fix it. For myself, I'm looking for something way better. There should be the option of zero stars. Im gone.

So this app adds its own advertisements on top of the radio advertisements so essentially it's an app for you to listen to some advertisements with a couple of songs partially in between them. Also if you put a stopwatch next to the ad counter their 30 seconds is 38 seconds. I can't participate in an app with this kind of Deceit behind it

Could be better. But what spoils this is that every time I try to listen to anything I get an advent by Matt Lucus about his stupid Christmas book! I've been having to sit through a good 60 seconds or longer with his stupid voice with the same advert and it has been that way since July/August! I now try to find separate apps for much of what I listen to rather than have to hear this Matt Lucus ad over and over again. If you change station, it's there again, if you turn off/on its there....stop!

New version somehow sounds even more like a gramophone than the last one! If you're trying to wean people off live radio and onto streaming services you're doing a great job Update: thank you to the developer for responding. I appreciate that you're not in control of the quality of the streams that you broadcast but is there a way you can add a premium subscription in order to provide high quality streams for these radio stations? As a total geek I know it's trivial to build an rtlsdr FM system

What a massive shame, this app was my goto for just about every radio station. But the frequency of ads that the app drops in during an interview in addition to the adverts that the host station play mean that many times since the recent update I've missed large chunks of the shows I love. Until they sort this out and align the ads with the host station ads I will be removing this app.

This "new" version of Radioplayer is far crashier than the previous version. Stops randomly in the middle of streams, and the controls also stop working. God forbid you receive a call - you have to restart the app entirely. I really liked the previous version - this one has me checking out competitors.

This new "update" is buggy AF. Cuts in and out, sometimes it doesn't want to play, despite closing the app entirely and relaunching it. Sometimes I can change station and it'll work, other times I just change to a whole other app (IHeartRadio) and listen to other stations cause RP doesn't want to cooperate. The old version was fine. I've had nothing but issues since this forced update.

I thought new versions of an app were meant to be better? Why would you remove the skip function so now I have to click the app, exit the current station and then click the next channel. Also why is there a slow fade in and out of each channel? It's morning and I just want to find a good radio station - I need speed! Please sort it. Your previous app was perfect! Why did you ruin it??

VERY RESTRICTIVE. I'm in Northern Ireland and listen to a few stations in the Republic, as well as in the UK. As the Radioplayer Ireland app seems to have gone, I need this app (set to Ireland) AND another UK version to listen to my regular stations. Add to that that I had to choose between Ireland English and Ireland Gaelic, and immediately this app becomes impractical and just too restrictive. Thank goodness there are alternative apps available as this one is a HUGE step backwards.

So far so good! Early days but comparing it to TuneIn it is definitely a worthy alternative. I moved away from TuneIn because stations had difficulty buffering. These are stations that are very well known UK national stations. I have no such problems with this app. Also no adverts before a station starts playing... Again very good. All in all I am happy to stick with this app as my internet radio app👍

Good choice of stations, but the most recent update changed all the settings without my permission. All privacy controls were switched off, allowing the app to scrape my data to pass to ad partners, which is very naughty. I only noticed because the update switched off autoplay and I had to open the settings to change it. The app even switched me to a station I'd never even heard of, and would never listen to, while my phone was out of reach.

Sometimes takes several tries to connect even though I'm in a well-populated area. Just spins and spins. some days I have to just give up altogether. Even though it's free, the ads at the beginning are annoying, one has to wait for the ad to finish to be able to select the radio station.

Since I had to download this 'new' version, not just an update to last version, I have had nothing but connection issues. It loses wifi, even though I have a perfect wifi signal plus I can have 4/5 data signal bars and still the same, even AFTER updating the app. This has become THEE MOST ANNOYING APP I HAVE EVER USED.

The transition to the new version has been disappointing at best. The app sometimes plays random stations when I cast, and sometimes switches stations spontaneously while casting. I've even had times when no station would play at all. The old version was very reliable. This is a massive step back, as far as I'm concerned. It was bad... Now it's worse. Sticking a 30-second ad in before I can even use the app is absolute garbage. I'll be looking for a new radio app.

UPDATE: I deleted this version in January & went back to the old one, absolutely no issues. Was forced to download this version again at end of July and it's worse than ever! Half the time won't even open. Stops constantly & I have to completely close it & start over. One day it randomly changed stations to something that wasn't even in my list and cranked the volume to full!! I wasn't even in the room with my phone. This "NEW & IMPROVED" version is total garbage!!!!!! Someone should be fired!!

I've been using Radioplayer for years and up until recently have been able to avoid upgrading. Now I can't open the app without being forced to listen to a 30 second ad. That's not how radio works. Unfortunately I'm uninstalling this app. It doesn't matter whether it's Radioplayer or the broadcaster inserting the 30 second ad. That's a moot point.

The old player was 5 stars. Now every time I open the new app it still has the "Your app is outdated" message. I have to press "download" again, it brings me to where I downloaded it, and I have to press "open" to get the player. An annoying glitch. *update Yes, that solved the problem. Thanks for the help! Now you just have to get rid of the ads.

It used to work great, but yesterday it said it needed to update. Fine, I updated, and it had wiped out all my station favourites. Not great. Today when I opened it, it still kept saying it needed to update, and doesn't work anymore. I uninstalled and reinstalled, it wiped my favourites again, and it still keeps saying it needs to update. Now just uninstalling 😕. I don't have time for this.

Since the forced the download of the updated app it continuously cuts put amd stops playing the radio station after only a few minutes (no messages or notifications coming through phone to cause interruption, only trying to listen to the radio through it). I have gotten so frustrated with this app that I prefer to use Chrome to navigate to the radio station there and listen live through their streaming option. Highly disappointing -I used the original Radio Player for a few yrs & it was great.

With the newest update to Radioplayer Worldwide, each time I open the app, there is a message to download the latest version. It is very annoying, and I have taken all the usual steps to eliminate the message. Time to find a better player! The app team responded quickly to my issues and provided information to fix my issue. Thank you! I have updated my rating thanks to good customer service!

The alarm doesn't work at all in the new version. Huge disappointment as this was the number one reason I used this app. The Radio Player Canada app worked perfectly and was easy to use. This new version ... not so much. In addition having to listen to a 30 second pelaton ad (or whatever you decide to replace with) every time you open the app is brutal.

The worst experience with an app ever. Has to reload because it just stops Constantly. Now every time I open it has to download cause it's outa date. I've done it 10 times already in 2 days. I want the radio stations so I put up with it. If their was ANY other option I would take it. App is garbage.

Gets very annoying when stations keep cutting in and out like I was hitting a mute button for a few seconds. Sometimes its only for a few times, but normally its been for 4-5 songs/djs I a row. Sometimes it has been cutting out and not even coming back. Not happy! Fix it. Edit : samsung s20 fe How do you screen shot a sound issue? It has gotten better so have updated rating from 1 to 3 star.

Every time you start it doesn't conn2 t saying you need to update Then you go update and say is updated. Every time you use it there are problems. One star as you can't give 0. After your response: the app tells me to update before starting. You click update and the store doesn't have anything to update. New code or not. if you can't update from the Play Store. App telling me to do impossible things This is the last time I did use this app it suck the last 3 months...

This app sucks. It constantly crashes in the middle of songs and needs to be hard reset in order to get it working again. There is no direct way to close the app outside of force closing it via Android's system options. It will end up using your data up even when you're not playing music. Recent reviews make it apparent that the issues are now longstanding and the developer is too incompetent to address anything outside of posting generic cookie cutter responses.

Edit: Yes, we can see it's a new app. The point remains your favourites from the old one are gone, meaning at best you have to tediously add them all by hand. Perhaps you could be so kind as to warn people. Kiss your saved stations goodbye. Better write them down before you "upgrade" to this version, because it'll wipe them out wholesale. Other than that, looks exactly the same as the old one.

The alarm in this updated version of the app (7.5.0.74) doesn't seem to work very consistently. Especially if the device screen is off, the alarm won't generally start. Once I turn the screen on then it starts... Not very useful to wake up to. I need this fixed or I won't be able to use this. The older versions of the app had this feature working well ... I almost always woke up to radio alarm at the time I set. I'm using a Huawei P30 Pro phone running Android 10.

I only really use this for radio while driving with android auto and the app needs a lot of work. Its the only music app I have that almost never auto starts (it's not missing the feature, it does sometimes). Then when you go to start it manually it takes 4-5 button presses just to start one of your favourite stations. Another thing it does is when the android auto wireless connection breaks, it will start playing out of your phones speakers. Again, only music app I have that does this.

App won't play chosen station half the time. Even after force crash/clear cache, nothing. I had no success before or after installing today's update. On a hunch I chose/started playing a different station than the one that populated (the one I had manage to get working yesterday after reinstalling the app on my new phone); finally, it started working. Only then I could switch to the station I actually wanted to listen to. 😕 Appreciate the app, but would enjoy it more if it had some consistency.

It works okay, but in the last month theapp plays badly timed ads, like YouTube!, the often cut over the show I'm listening to, and then drop me back in the middle of a commercial on the station, so I miss chunks of my show. The alarm function no longer works either, and it's a good thing that I no longer need it to wake-up, just to start the radio first thing. Good things? It doesn't lag behind as much as the old app. That's it.

I have a Galaxy S22. The app crashes so frequently that I had to uninstall it. The old app (the one that was similar, but not "International") worked much better. This update needs work because while I tried to use it, the alarm function would only work sometimes. I uninstalled the "new" and re-installed the "old" version. Now, every time I open the installed version, it's covered by the logo of the new verion, trying to get me to switch. I DON'T WANT THE NEW VERSION!! THIS HAS TO STOP!!

Don't know what you guys have done to this "new version"...but it sucks you ruined a perfectly fine app that ran and worked awesome. The sound quality is awful since I figured out that even when my phone is connected via a hard line it still connects through BT and uses the phones sound processing, when connected via cord it should be direct sound from the source ie....radio station/Web, needs fixing priority is wired connection over BT. And why does it stop playing all the time for no reason...

The cast ability has vanished from the upper right corner. What's that about? Thanks for the response but clicking on devices usually show a swirly and no devices. If it shows devices, it takes 3 minutes of processing to show devices. Thank God we still have the old version. I literally can't use the new one. (Galaxy S9 plus)

Uninstalling the new version. Some apps let you go back to the old version, and this one doesn't so I guess I'll go back to good old FM. I liked being able to listen to stations I used to listen to out west, as well as Sonic since my fav dj switched stations from TO to Van. But the new version sux. Can't change stations. Keeps skipping even when on WiFi. Let me know when/if you have it fixed.

This new update keeps cutting out right in the middle of me listening to the news in the morning. I take the bus and have to transfer 4 times to get to work, so this is a major problem for me because I don't have the ability to micromanage the app all morning, just so it won't cut out on me. Also, there was nowhere in app that I could file this complaint and get it addressed.

I have been using this app for a few years and was very happy with it up to the recent update! What have you done to it? The app stops so often it's annoying. When I press the 'on' button again, it doesn't work. I have to click on a different station and then go back to the original station I was listening to to get it to work. So annoying and time consuming. Very disappointed. Looking for a more reliable radio app now. I just haven't got the time for this nonsense. Bring Back the Old APP
