Took away a very simple feature that every app seems to offer for free was removed for some reason (we know the reason). When the cast feature returns so will a 5 stars Edit: to your response, no I will not give you a penny for a feature that every app offers as a basic function, casting shouldn't be behind a pay wall, shame on you. Subscriptions for small features or options are a joke and a scam

It's okay, but I prefer Pandora. It's good for when your WiFi is down or you have to use slow internet. Edit: I've revisited this app after a few years. Still good quality for finding new music. I definitely miss the Russian station, my personal favorite.

Doesn't work. Sits at the "buffering" stage for a while, then indicates that it is playing music if the play button is tapped but actually produces no sound. During the "buffering" stage, it pulls data at a slow rate (about 40 KB/s) for half a minute, then stops.

As a subscriber to Digitally Imported radio, I was surprised that they also own this radio. It delivers the same high quality audio with a varied selection of stations for all moods and tastes. I like Jpop and they have it! I went through the different stations and found a lot more I liked than I thought. The fact that my DI.FM subscription also gives me premium access to this radio service makes it an awesome deal, since my favorite music is still trance, but now I can also enjoy other genres

The variety of music is huge. I can pause the play and pick up where I left it. I enjoy the commercial free music. I like that I can see what has previously played.I am a jazz fan and I listen 24/7. I think the only way to improve this is to be able to select which cut you want to hear again.

Good music selection. App works well experienced over several years and phones. Can be a bit of a data hog if you pick higher quality streaming. Only wish is that the music selection be a bit wider and changing. Now that I have been listening my fav stations for about 8 years now, sometimes it feels repetitive. By the way I have the premium subscription, worht every penny. Ads were so repetitive and out of my interest areas.

Great sound quality and reliable connectivity. However the app frequently starts playing on its own, even when the app is closed or not running. That can't be good. Also, although not as frequent, the app will not allow the screen to turn off or enter into a "sleep state" even though your settings allow it to do so. I noticed this especially when using the Pixel stand. Android OS 12.

App is great when not crashing every couple minutes. Lately I've been getting approximately seven crashes per half-hour, and it is super annoying. It tends to skip to the next song after restarting the app after a crash. I can't enjoy my Halloween music when the app crashes all the time. Would give 5 stars, if crashes were fixed. Edit 10/19/20: Much better about not crashing, however Halloween channel has not returned yet, even 2 weeks into October. Would like to have it back, please.

Great service. Better than tune in. I prefer to listen to music often on premade stations that don't show a song list so I can be surprise on the next track . The stations are curated so well until I hardly every change stations once I find one for any particular mood I am in. I use this and Di Radio often. I remember this use to be Sky.Fm radio it was great then and even better now. I pay monthly. I switched from Spotify to this. Spotify gets a bit repetitive at times. This is a great..😊👍👍

Very handy, good variety of stations, though one tends to hear the same artists enough to start thinking 'them again?' (perhaps a licensing issue, and of course fine if the artist is one you enjoy...) A persistent problem I've been having is is that the app will start again on its own after quitting out (done by closing the app's window as there is no 'Off' menu command.) Today it restarted 3 times on its own so I removed the app and downloaded it again, hoping that will take care of the issue.

I've used this app since it was Sky Radio. Unfortunately, with my phone upgrade from Samsung Note 8 to Note 10 Plus the app crashes consistently, won't download, stops streaming while playing (buffers be doesn't connect), getting error message "app not responding". The only thing that fixes it is to uninstall/reinstall and sometimes that doesn't work. Please fix the app cause I really like it. NOTE: before you suggest a subscription, its not in my budget.

Great radio app. Tons of different music options. We have a paid subscription so I don't know what ads are like. Easy to use and reliable. We've had some odd glitches here and there with casting from the app, such as having to open the casting menu in the app to do things like change volume, but minor issues in all.

I just started using this, and so far I'm enjoying it. There is one quality im not into, and thats how the stations start midway in a song. I'm not against the idea, but it dosent make much sense here. I was listening to a station on my browser, and when I played the same station, at the same time, a different song was playing. Why bother imitating tuning into the middle of a song if you will most likely be listening to something else then someone also tuning in at the same time? Makes no sense.

Have had radio tunes for a few yrs. Enjoy the variety though I will hear repeats when listening all day. The only thing I find VERY annoying is that to exit app on my phone you have to drop menu then go to settings then scroll down to "exit app" & it's right above "log out" I can't tell you how many times I've accidentally LOGGED OUT when only meaning to exit app! SUPER FRUSTRATING especially if I don't have access to my password file!! Hence 4star instead of 5!

It's very much like a genre specific radio station. With wide selection of stations although some are very similar to each other. Songs played on each station have a very long list and songs aren't repeated often. It's nice to be able to select favorites among stations and songs and that makes stations easy to find.

I enjoy the categories to choose from.My favorites are Smooth Jazz 24/7 and the Smooth Lounge.I walk,work out, relax, and listen in my home office via a speaker system I use it everyday. I am pleased with the quality and the advertisements are not that often. I highly recommend Radio Tunes and I have told many people about Radio Tunes. I don't have to do anything. Use the app. I build my favorites from the music Radio Tunes plays. I press the star, which puts my selection in my favorites file.

Great for Smooth Jazz lovers! I have at least six jazz stations set as favorites on this app. If you're looking for some great curated background music while you work or just to unwind, this is your app. Even the free version has good audio quality. The ads here are mostly nonintrusive and generally not too frequent nor too long. Far better than TuneIn, which always begins with an ad before you can even start listening, so I call that app "TurnOff".

Used to be 5 star now, not so much. I've used this music app for years, really enjoy the variety of content. I am not a premium member. I do not mind ads. In the past several weeks, a serious issue has developed only while using this app across all my Android devices. It seems the app opens my default web browser and runs a virus scan, then requests permission to download software to fix an identified problem. I already have real-time virus monitoring,so I know it's an issue. Be careful.

After 14 years of premium membership, I have decided to cancel. I use Sonos with the service and they used to allow 2 concurrent streams. Today, they stealth changed it to only 1 stream, no warning, no emails before hand. Just hard change. I am not talking about streaming from multiple locations/IPs concurrently. I can no longer stream 2 different stations in the same household. Not like they offer a family plan with multiple streams either. Stupid decision by management.

I have been a customer for 12 years. I do love the app & music, but there are 3 different ongoing problems, which are still not resolved. I have been working with the customer service people, until they stopped answering my emails. I did write back to them, plus I posted a request on Twitter {X}, & nothing. So their customer service needs some work. I'm really disappointed. Keep this in mind before you buy, they may stop answering you as well.
