Starts right up when open. Bluetooth to my kitchen radio with ease. Love being able to listen to one of my favorite stations multiple ways. Would have given a 5 Star but I noticed sometimes the songs can stop while playing and I just restart the music again. Like a timer or time delay situation […]

Edit: The free version is lousy. I finally decided to pay for it. It’s fine now. No frills, which is what I want, but also no problems. Still wish the free version worked better. Edit: Now it has audio ads that play over the station I’m trying to listen to. That’s really inexcusable. You can […]
I’ve only used this app for a few days, but I’m happy with it and I’ll be using it a lot. I was delighted with the selection of international stations. Perhaps this makes this a niche review, but to be able to listen to great stations from Uruguay, good old Puerto Vallarta, and Ireland as […]
Sudden drastic change to what was previously the only radio app I needed. Ads got a little pushier than before, but for some reason the new layout has no option to search, and no visible way to move between panes. I only had one station favorited when the change occurred, and it’s now the only […]
Works well. Lots of stations to choose from. Best radio app I’ve found- simple, sleek, low memory use. Edit February 2024. Obviously the developers don’t fix issues. I still have to force stop the app to get it to drop off the notification bar. Otherwise it just sits there in my way, even stopped or […]
It’s great… it is consistent and doesn’t just drop the station while listening like TuneIn does, which is the most annoying thing ever, because you have to listen to the same old commercials or it simply won’t work at all!!! This app is awesome and I would recommend it to anyone! Thank you for not […]
Works so much better than other radio apps! Like the title, it’s a simple pain free radio! 10/26/20 update: I paid to remove ads, and I no longer have pop up ads from the app, but I’ve noticed a lot of the stations I listen to have a long stream of aired ads now. Idk […]
It’s great to be able to surf stations around the globe, but a lot of them aren’t actively broadcasting, and the video ad popups required EVERY SINGLE TIME a station is changed really is annoying – so much so that the app becomes unusable for surfing stations. Sometimes, the ads go into an endless loop, […]
I cannot keep up with all of these ads! They are always jumping in the way if you want to change channels or do anything. Even just starting up, you have to race to beat the ads, and often I accidentally missed the x so I can delete the ad, and I end up wasting […]
It’s nice to listen to your favorite radio station during a train commute so I appreciate the app. My issue with this app is that when it loses Internet connection it doesn’t try to reconnect most times. I have to pause the app and restart it manually almost every time, then it works. Unfunny enough, […]
Constantly stops, reloads which triggers ads, and repeatedly does the same even while something is playing. Really tired of this, so uninstalling and find one that won’t constantly reload. Ads wouldn’t be an issue if it weren’t for reloading every 15 seconds or so. This happens with every station changed to. If you would like […]
Way too many commercials. Too many to even try out the app. Tick tock keeps getting shoved into my face. Also, the app wants your credit card if you want to try add free. I know a lot of apps do, but I just believe that a credit card should only be given if I […]
Did not have the local radio station I wished to listen to, and there is no way to cancel the subscription within the app. No settings, no interface, just “search” and “favorites”. Yes, extremely basic (simple), but it seems very “scammy” to me that you would offer a paid subscription upon downloading the app, then […]
I understand ads & making money. You need to understand free trial. A free trial is so a person can actually use the service, which hopefully, they like well enough to buy. You won’t accomplish that when it takes several tries to find a participating station then after 4 full length commercials and still no […]
There’s no way to search or add new stations without uninstalling and reinstalling. When launching it goes straight to the favorites and there’s no menu or search bar anymore. So to search, you better have all the stations written down because you only get one chance to find stations. It’s seriously broken. Maybe it’s that […]
Terrible. I start playing the music then put my phone in an armband and go walking. Simple Radio stops the music every 10-15 minutes and in order to start it again, I have to stop, take off the armband, remove my phone and press play again, and put the armband back on. It stops the […]
Sometimes less IS more. The focus of Simple Radio is not on the bells and whistles that often bloat already add-crazed apps, but instead it provides easy access to stream your favorite radio stations with solid clarity and connection. It loads quickly and you can customize your station list without fear of another add bombarding […]
The advertising has gotten overbearing. π Every time U change the channel you have at least two video ads and it tries to force you to load the app that it’s advertising! π I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS APP! if you change the channel a few times in a row you have to sit through […]
It’s free, so I don’t mind that they added ads, but the way the ads are implemented is super annoying. I just updated the app because, for a while, I couldn’t get my station to play. It was just ad after ad. I guess they fixed that. I came to give it a bad review […]
Works well until it doesn’t. I pay for the premium version of this app and when it works it’s great. Once it a while though it just will not load any station no matter what I do (closing and restarting the app, disconnecting from Bluetooth, etc.). That’s pretty disappointing considering I paid $20 for it. […]
