Reviews for Radio Garden

← Back to Radio Garden

I downloaded thos app to see if there really was a spinning seal fm radio station and to my suprize it actually exists! The fact that you can go around the world and tune into any radio station is an amazing concept and I highly recommend this app if you are looking for music from around the world to listen to! One thing that I thought of while I was trying out this app is the idea that there could be a real time counter for how many people are tuned into a specific station at any time! 10/10

I have used this app for years, and very successfully. Lately something is amiss. Sometimes it just doesn't connect anymore. Or the station just stops playing. There must have been some kind of change that is causing these problems. Once I uninstalled it and started all over again, of course then I lost all my stations! And that worked. (I'm having that problem now.)

Before downloading, I first tried the website in chrome, but the stations wouldn't load. Switching browsers helped this. I then installed this app and quickly found that it was next to impossible to use. In the app, there's no way to move the globe, which was the most useful thing about the website. Although there are green dots, I cannot click on them; it seems to glitch when I do. Additionally, it will not allow me to scroll down lists or search. Fix this and I will gladly give it another try!

Interface (swipes, menus, etc.) takes a while to master, but amazing app. Listen to radio stations all over the world using GPS or map navigation or drop down lists (somewhat by genre, search genre must have genre in name, could be more detailed.. Save favorites. Listen in car or any bluetooth. Press on the currently playing station, see the name of the song playing, copy to clipboard!

Excellent concept, great design! I listen daily. Only radio I need. I can listen to my hometown radio stations or listen to what they're playing in Lagos or some tiny town in Tibet I've never heard of. I've found 2 Ukranian stations that really play great stuff, and it's so fun to point the circle over a random dot and move around ~ connect the dots, if you will! Works flawlessly, never any issues. Great app, so much fun, and it stays on when you close your phone. That's key in a music app!

*This app. is pretty dang awesome to be able to go around the globe 🌎 & listen to different stations , Genres.* It's a great way to hear something else besides the boring FM - AM stations in our nearby cities/towns. There's very few ads.. It's literally keeping me busy setting up my favourite stations out there.. most of the stations have very good audio output.! Enjoy.!!

I've been a paid customer of this app for a few years. I purchased two licenses on different phones before the new subscription model. I migrated to a new phone and I'm now seeing ads in the app. I was happy to support the app before the subscription model, and would even pay a higher one time fee to get rid of the ads again. I have no interest in subscribing as I don't see myself using the new features. I'll deal with the ads for now but not sure for how long.

Temu ad that plays every time after unlocking the phone is far too intrusive and blocks all controls! -1* just for that alone. No problem with ads running on a free app, essentially locking the app until the ad is done is overboard!! Stations "aren't available" sometimes that work on other apps. Globe feature is a unique way to explore. Search function could utilize genres instead of just station names. Seems to use a little less data for the same playtime than other apps.

Up till recently I have had this app on my phone and tablet and for the past 3 years have found it an inspirational source of diverse music and culture from every part of the world . As of now however ,it appears that (and I don't hold the developers in any way responsible) the UK users can no longer access stations outside the UK . As there have been no recent patches or updates for the App I presume that the loss of functionality is an external problem possibly due to changes in UK data law.

Amazing app! I have discovered so many amazing stations from all over the world. Even stations that I miss being out of state. This app is so much easier than trying to find them online. The interface is easy and fun to use. Also, it is AMAZING that the music still plays even when my phone goes to sleep. It's really neat to click on different dots to discover new stations. Favorites are easy to find and navigate. Support this developer!

Fascinating *and* useful. I found this in my computer browser a couple years ago, while playing around, "tracking Santa" on Christmas Eve. Being able to spin the globe and find stations graphically was very cool, and I could use it to find foreign language broadcasts easily, and search for stations playing foreign music. I know it doesn't include "everything", but it's a great app, tool, and toy. Thank you for making it an app. I never expected that.

For Readers: I would totally recommend this for anyone curious about the world. You can go around the world and listen to different channels of all types. If you go to a city, you will listen to the biggest channel there, but then you can open it and see a list of others. There's also a 'discovery' page that lists other channels anywhere. For Devs: Thank you for this app, I found it through a language group on Reddit and I don't regret it. I would request a random-channel button, though.

GREAT app, BUT... Premium is a monthly fee instead of a one-time payment. I do not support Monthly fee For Apps!!! The free version works well with a few minor glitches. One is the occasional failure to open because of failure to migrate stations. Also have had a station jump. Lacks local stations that are internet broadcast... But again, it works for me to find a good talk radio station, even if it's 200 miles away. If this was one-time purchase.

I have to say...as someone who loves to listen to radio in far away places, THIS APP IS PERFECTION! I love listening to the top and bottom of the globe and to stations in that a very isolated such as Siberia, Greenland, etc. So easy to search by moving the globe to any area. LOVE THIS APP! Since switching to a Samsung S20 Ultra (a book-sized phone) it's been a little glitchy, but I'm sure it'll get better. THANK YOU DEVS! KEEP UP THE HARD WORK! 😉👏👏👏

Honestly a beautiful experience of technology that was created here. Able to listen to news and music, local stations, etc. from around the planet. Amazing. A few ads, but they do not interrupt the sound. Premium is VERY decently priced for a Radio app, especially one like this, to remove the ads and unlock the equalizer/sleep timer options. So glad I found this ^_^

This is honestly one of the coolest apps I've ever used. I use it all the time. I especially like the "browse" feature where they've had groups of radio stations compiled, almost like playlists. Saving me the trouble of scanning through the many generic pop stations across the world. That can be fun too. I also use this to tune into many of the radio stations I've listened to in different places I've lived. 10/10, really awesome idea. Love it.

Amazing app! It couldn't be easier to listen to thousands of stations all over the world. Some even list the song you're listening to. I live in the US and like polish music. I now have hundreds of stations in Poland at my fingertips! Free app has minimal ads but l love it so much I donated the 2.49 to support them. If you love music, this app is a must download. I've discovered so many new songs, bands and genres that I love. It's also great to find a station for background music while working.

Very cool app! While there are stations missing, and the interface is a bit hard to get into, I think the discovery of other radio stations and foreign cultures is cool. I would like to echo someone else's request: The back button should lead back, not out of the app. A random button would be cool too. But the positives FAR outweigh the negatives.

I have found this to be a delightful app. It was a great idea to make so many stations so easy to locate and listen to. The search tool can be improved so that more types and genre's of stations can be located and heard. My preference is talk radio and stations that air "movies" and books read aloud. I do listen to music ~ 20% of the time though. Improvement can be made in the fav's categorization - I'd like to be able to create different folders of stations and an index of specific showtimes.

I love it! Amazing! Worth the download file size absolutely as it merely asks for minimal amount and the same for permissions. Thank you. Don't go anywhere as I don't think you are. RF 👍🏽 only 1 bug. I started as guest/anonymous and created a favorite list that really started to build. So I signed up for account however it didn't transfer my favorite list over. I was afraid of that but luckily I was proactive and took a picture of the list of stations on my guest account favorite list. 🛟⚓
