Too bad that the code for old app isn't available from the original creators. This one is not as efficient. There seems to be no ongoing upgrades or bug fixes. I took it off and just share my station's vanity URL for listeners. The frustration of the app could help you lose listeners!

They offer you advertising claiming there is no contract and then bill you every month directly to your debit card, so you can't just put a stop payment on it, you have to change your debit card. There is no phone contact to talk to anyone, and when you leave them a message online, they don't get back to you until they want to solicit you to advertise for them even more! At that point they'll "take care of your account no problem", and continue to bill you. Biggest scam ever.

The app would be better if you could minimize it or stay open even if you back out

Thr buffering every 2-3 minutes is super annoying. It starts fine but then gets worse and worse the longer you listen. Maybe a cache issue? Just fix it. Doesn't get better or worse on wifi or mobile.

Useless. I wanted to listen one of my favorite stations and all it says is that I have no internet connection when I clearly have it all the time. Uninstalled and reinstalled several times. Garbage

The share function doesn't work. If you go to share the info on a song, after you hit the share button, it brings you to a page with the address for the song. But if you use this address, it brings the radio station page with no info of the song.

I've been using this app almost exclusively for years. Loved being able to go to my favourites and selecting what I want to listen to. When they updated the app the favs were gone. Guess it's time to move on. Should have left the app alone. Well, found that all favs were deleted and after playing with it a while found a new way to re-add them again.

Updated review! Fixed issues and added new one. 5 days ago, the update 2.4.5 made a fav station currently unavailable. Contacted station and developer of this app and nothing yet. I can only listen to affirm southern gospel radio using this app and i prefer android over the other os. Hopefully, we can get results soon. Re installing app and deleting image cache doesnt change anything!

This is a horrible app! When you get an app like this you have to search for the station you want to listen to. I've done that and I've put it into favorites. But each time you open the app it comes up to the home screen and there's no way to get to favorites from there. You have to go into the personal section click on favorites then click on your station. Plus it does not come up to the last station played. Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!

It's really hard to give this app a good rating. I don't have a problem with the content, and I have little of the problems others have had. The big issue that I have with this app is I cannot close it. I can't dismiss it or swipe it away. The only way I can actually stop the app is to go into the app settings and force it closed. Mostly not worth my time opening the app, as the music occasionally will just start itself without me triggering it.

The App definitely isn't perfect by any means. Like not showing the correct pic, or ANY pic of what is actually playing, or auto-starting/stopping at embarrassing times, or switching to a different song title too soon. Live365 told me months ago it would update the App fixing these issues & others. Was also told the pics come from a different database, than what I upload. I'm guessing they long scrapped the plans to update. Anyway, I love having my station WJST Jet Set, under Easy Listening. 🙂

Very slow and unreliable streaming app. I've tried using it on several occasions so I could listen to Radio Free Raleigh, an alternative/classic rock/indie station. The app was always slow to "load" the station. resulting in s dreaded "spin cycle" or, when it did launch the station, it was rare for me to drive 3 to 5 minutes before the app would lose the station and just stop. Extremely disappointing and not a good way for you to listen to an internet music station in your car.

This is a really unique web radio platform with a lot of really unique stations. The only problem I have with it is a design issue that is really annoying. There is no "exit app" option. Once you start the app, it runs in the background, untill you either go into Android settings and "force stop" it or reboot your device.

Getting better but there are some issues. 1. Streaming through phone. When turning off auto you are not stopping the app. Even if I hit pause on radio the app still plays music 2. Favorites are being lost randomly. No idea what triggers it 3. App contention If I play app I Heart Radio, shut it down Launch Live 365. Music constantly pauses Phone needs reboot The steps are. Play Live 365. Shut down. Play I heart radio. shutdown. Launch 365

It will be nice to be able to set up favorite stations on the Live365 app without having to search for them. Every time I open the app it comes up to the home screen. To put it nicely, it is frustrating using the app. The app for the original Live365 (pre 2018 Live365) was much better. I think Live365 will gain more listeners if the app is improved.

This app is complete garbage most of the time!!! I love being able to listen to music and my favorite internet radio station "The After Burner Rocks" and you can't do that with this app. It stops about every two minutes or so to "load" but never does, it basically just stops, so I have to go in restart the app and try again, every. two. minutes. This reloading also happens when going from mobile to Wi-Fi. Having wifi doesn't help with the load it doesn't seem to matter what connection I have there is always problems. Please fix!!! It is very discouraging.

I really like Live365; especially for the old time radio shows. Unfortunately, the app no longer plays stations on Android 6.1 even though the app appears to work properly. I have 3 devices on Marshmallow and none of them have audio. I was hoping the last update would fix this but it did not. Other than that, on my newer devices, it works great.
