myTuner Radio provides access to a vast array of international radio stations, praised for its diversity and sound quality.

Recurring themes

Ads & Monetization negative
The most prevalent complaint is the overwhelming number of ads in the free version, which are often full-screen, unskippable, and block the user interface. Many users who paid for the premium version report that ads still appear, leading to feelings of being scammed. Some ads are particularly malicious, simulating virus warnings or forcing users to the App Store.R1R2R3R4
App Stability & Performance negative
Users frequently report the app crashing, freezing, or stations stopping playback unexpectedly. Some specific features like the alarm clock or search function are noted as broken. The latest update's bug fixes mentioned by the developer do not seem to have resolved these widespread issues.R12R13R48R57
Device Compatibility mixed
While some users appreciate its compatibility with Apple Watch and CarPlay, many report significant issues. The Apple Watch app often crashes or doesn't work after updates, lacks volume control, or stops playing when the screen turns off. CarPlay integration is also reported as unresponsive.R22R37R46R60
Station Availability & Quality mixed
The app is praised for its vast selection of international and diverse radio stations. However, some users report that specific favorite stations become unavailable or are subject to new regional restrictions after subscribing.R6R10R11R14

Who it's for

This app is for users who want access to a very wide variety of global radio stations and are willing to tolerate a significant number of intrusive ads, or risk paying for a premium version that may not remove them R1. It is not for users who expect a smooth, ad-free experience without paying, or for those who rely on consistent functionality across all Apple devices R37R46R89R121.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative, primarily due to the overwhelming ad experience and issues with the paid version. While there are positive reviews praising the station selection, they are fewer and often older, or from users who have paid and still experience issues. The developer's release notes for 'bug fixes' are contradicted by numerous reports of ongoing crashes and broken features.

  1. [R6] 5/5 · US Review from Zimbabwe: Very good and convenient. Good sound quality.
  2. [R22] 4/5 · US Great radio all with worldwide channels: Good radio station app with worldwide channels. Love the diversity of selection of music and works in the car and on the Apple Watch too. Paying to remove Ads was worth it.
  3. [R40] 5/5 · US 2 Thumbs Up!: I enjoy this app because it has access to many radio stations including news and music. I use it continually at home and in my vehicle.
  4. [R50] 5/5 · US Excelente: Es una apk muy buena con gran estabilidad y con mucho material para elegir la radio de cualquier gusto la verdad me encanta usar esta apk
  5. [R49] 5/5 · US Local radio channel weak signal: When I’m in my car and the radio signal is really weak I always rely on my tuner radio . I get a perfect signal that way I can turn it up the volume and jam out . Thank you, my tuner radio. Especially on Friday and Saturday night KCYB 103.5 Cypress radio takes me back to the old clubbing nights
  6. [R27] 5/5 · US Great app: Easy to use
  7. [R59] 5/5 · US Love it!: I sprang for the $20 a year. It’s great! So many channels; so easy to find what you want and favorite it!
  8. [R563] 3/5 · CA Bien mais pas optimisé: L’application est bien, l’utilisation et simple et ludique, le point négatif c’est que quand je suis dans la page de radio et que je scroll pour voir les autres radio et que mon doigts ne monte pas « parfaitement droit » ça change pour la page de gauche ou droite, ce qui n’est pas pratique en marchant, obliger de tenir le téléphone à 2 mains …
  9. [R37] 3/5 · US Does Not Work on My Iwatch: I was delighted with this app. So much so I subscribed and I am still a subscriber. It’s one of a handful of apps that I pay for. A few months ago I noticed the app on my iwatch was not working. I informed the developers but so far they have not gotten the issue resolved. I wished it would get resolved soon. I would like to hear from others having the same problem
  10. [R46] 4/5 · US Apple watch app: The apple watch for this app crashes and it doesn’t work after last ios update, please fix it.
  11. [R445] 3/5 · GB CarPlay issues: Works just fine on ipad and iphone, however when used through carplay it is often unresponsive and it will not start radios most of the time. requires unlocking the phone and activating it manually on screen which defeats the whole purpose of CarPlay functionality
  12. [R1] 2/5 · US Too Many Ads: When I first started using TuneIn, it was amazing. Now there are way too many ads, and it’s frustrating. It’s become very difficult to enjoy listening to any station with so many interruptions.
  13. [R2] 2/5 · US Mi opinión: Mucha publicidad y creciendo.
  14. [R5] 2/5 · US Hi-Jacked radio. !: Ads that can’t be skipped or shut down until minutes have passed and my patience has ran thin. Seriously considering deleting THIS APP ! ! ! And Eventually I Will. The other thing about the ads, is they voice over or interrupt the music I came to listen to. Let me remind you, I’m here for radio, Not unwanted ad’s. And not harassment, this is…. hijacked harassment. Not ju
  15. [R20] 3/5 · US Good for awhile: I was enthused about this radio app for awhile. I understand that free apps often rely on advertisements and I would patiently wait through those. However recently the app has pop-up ads that block all access to the UI and cannot be closed out. So the app has to be completely restarted frequently. That's pretty unacceptable, so I will have to be looking for a new radio app.
  16. [R4] 1/5 · US PREMIUM IS THE ONLY OPTION: I used to listen for free (ad supported version.) The app no longer offers the free version. Subscription is $35 as of 7/3/26
  17. [R85] 1/5 · US I bought the app. I can't disable ads: I bought a new phone. I downloaded the app. I logged in with my email, the same one I used to buy the full version previously. I clicked the restore purchases button. I reinstalled the app. Nothing helps, ads still appear. I wrote to the developer. All I got were recommendations to reinstall the app and restore purchases via the button. · translated
  18. [R89] 1/5 · US I paid the 19.99 and still get 20 ads per song: I paid the 19.99 and still get 20 ads per song it’s absurd. The whole point of paying 19.99 is so you can hear the radio station without the this app’s ADS the only ads obviously I expect to hear are the ones from the country I selected, in this case Colombia. Meanwhile during one song or Colombian ad I hear on average 4 ads from my local area in Eng
  19. [R104] 2/5 · US Still waiting for NO ADs: I’m really fed up because I tried to upgrade twice but I’m still waiting for the ads to go away. I tried it twice and they are sure to charge me. I got my money back the first time but I am still waiting for an answer from my email complaint they seem to ignore me
  20. [R12] 1/5 · US Malfunctioning: Only works with a VPN. The radio beeps and skips the track back 1 second. · translated
  21. [R13] 1/5 · US What did you do?!: I LOVED this app. I need music for my exceptional neuro-differences, daily, and this WAS my go to over all other apps including Spotify. Well I updated the app and now: 1 - as soon as I turn it to a new station I get a pop up EVERY TIME asking if I want to add it to favorites. I mean, I just opened the goddamn thing and don’t even know if I like it yet. Can I get through a co
  22. [R48] 4/5 · US 10.1.2 Broke the App: Tuner Pro save me for now. I have no idea what the difference is between myTuner Radio and MyTuner Pro. But 10.1.2 on myTuner Radio crashes as soon as it is opened. I'm a paid user and love these apps.
  23. [R57] 4/5 · US Closes immediately: App all of sudden won’t stay open
  24. [R3] 1/5 · US 3 day free trial?: Was supposed to receive a free 3 day trial but instead was charged $34.99 for an annual subscription I did not want. I had to submit a refund request that hopefully is accepted as I did so immediately after the charge to my bank account.
  25. [R9] 1/5 · US Where’s PRO version? Subscription misleading.: You’re misleading users by advertising PRO version of this app for $59.99 that is, as I understand, is for life, right? But there’s no option in the subscription to actually make this purchase. Why? 2026-06-16 update. There is no such option to subscribe for lifetime, only yearly subscription.
  26. [R64] 1/5 · US Bait switch: Bought this app for one station after free trial station has been unavailable
  27. [R60] 4/5 · US Not working with Alexa+: Please fix
  28. [R121] 2/5 · US AppleTV Version: Almost unusable, cannot sign-in so all stations in favorites will not display. The top of the screen where the search section is immediately disappears when starting the app, I deleted and reinstalled several times, no change. On current version of tv app 4k and the tuner app.
  29. [R99] 1/5 · US Very bad customer service: I subscribed because there were certain channels available that i need to daily listen to them in my car daily. After subscribing, several of these channels were stopped!!!
  30. [R191] 3/5 · US Out of order: Any countries except UAE mention not support at your region! Other radio apps working anywhere?
  31. [R463] 3/5 · GB Excellent: This app doesn’t work in the UK.
  32. [R160] 3/5 · US Alarm clock option is not working: I want an app that had an alarm to wake me up in the morning to music. The alarm option on this does not work if you set the alarm for the morning.
  33. [R295] 3/5 · GB Radio alarm doesn’t work: There is a lot of radio stations on there and I can’t really fault it for that. But I only downloaded it to use as a radio alarm an every time I’ve tried it, it never sounds.
  34. [R319] 3/5 · GB Needs a dark mode: UI is a bit cluttered, perhaps making the icon size adjustable. At least the sleep timer works unlike the last version.
  35. [R8] 1/5 · US app uses white x trick trap you on the premium screen: the hidden is upper right corner
  36. [R103] 1/5 · US Nauseating interface: This app is a punishment to use, and I just want to hear the radio.
  37. [R131] 3/5 · US New mandatory dark mode on iOS makes parts of app unreadable.: I use your app extensively but the recent update that seems to force dark mode on iOS 26 makes chunks of the text unreadable. Said differently, I use dark mode on my phone but should have the option to change MyTuner radio BACK to light mode without having to change the whole phone.
  38. [R128] 3/5 · US WRECKED and ruined: Well congratulations BOYS! You took a great little app that was very useable and accessible to your voice over users and turned it into ABSOLUTE JUNK! Now, with this latest update you went and BROKE the search feature! I CANNOT type in the search field I cannot inter ANYTHING to look for. This is just Stupid thoughtless inconsideration from you people!! I am honestlz
  39. [R10] 5/5 · US My go to show!: Love the hosts. They are very entertaining and down to earth.
  40. [R11] 5/5 · US 94.9: Great !
  41. [R14] 5/5 · US José: Muy bien
  42. [R357] 3/5 · GB Loudspeaker error: This would be perfect if it says playing on loud speaker…it works, soon as the display goes off or you put your wrist down it stops the process…this feels limiting because I have a wear os watch which will play loudspeaker and carry on whilst the screens off…where as this seems to stop…till you turn the screen back on and press play again. Apple Watch four and six it does this o
  43. [R419] 3/5 · GB No volume adjustment on watch: Love the app as it means i can listen to my favourite radio stations however i can’t adjust the volume on a Bluetooth device from my Apple watch
