Pick myTuner Radio if

you prioritize a wide selection of international stations and generally better sound quality, and are willing to tolerate or pay to remove very aggressive ads R2R32R36.

Pick RadioApp if

you prefer a simple interface and are primarily interested in local stations, but be aware of potential issues with station availability and persistent ads even with a subscription R76R79.

Evidence note: Both apps have a significant number of recent negative reviews, primarily concerning intrusive ads and issues with paid subscriptions. The free vs. paid asymmetry is evident, as many negative reviews stem from free-tier friction (ads, limits) or dissatisfaction with the value of the paid tier, where ads persist. The lifetime ratings are higher than what recent reviews suggest, indicating a decline in user satisfaction over time, likely due to increased ad monetization.

  1. [R12] myTuner Radio 3/5 · US Meh: A few weeks ago, most radio news stations stopped working. No fix in sight either.
  2. [R23] myTuner Radio 5/5 · US Great Rock Radio: All the classics solid listenin
  3. [R32] myTuner Radio 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.
  4. [R36] myTuner Radio 3/5 · GB Radio international: Very good reception, shame quite restricted to various international broadcasters
  5. [R9] myTuner Radio 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
  6. [R21] myTuner Radio 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
  7. [R24] myTuner Radio 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.
  8. [R2] myTuner Radio 5/5 · US Review from Zimbabwe: Very good and convenient. Good sound quality.
  9. [R17] myTuner Radio 5/5 · US No injected ads: The most important thing is that this app does not add noise to your life like tune in does. So far it beats that other app by a long shot.
  10. [R33] myTuner Radio 3/5 · GB Problem: I have been using this for about a year or two but now when i redownloaded it keeps closing when i open it. My device is ios 16 but i dont think thats the problem, so i think its something to do with the app. But I remember it worked really well
  11. [R1] myTuner Radio 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.
  12. [R3] myTuner Radio 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.
  13. [R4] myTuner Radio 2/5 · US Mi opinión: Mucha publicidad y creciendo.
  14. [R6] myTuner Radio 3/5 · US Ads like crazy: I appreciate the stations provided, yet every single time you change the station an ad pops up so it’s frustrating when your trying to channel through them to see the new ones you like.
  15. [R40] myTuner Radio 1/5 · US Don’t buy the pro version: I bought myTuner Radio Pro for Mac, this was a lifetime purchase, $20, less than two years ago. Apple, on the last update says this App will no longer be supported with future IOS updates, and the developer doesn’t respond. Also, according to the App history there’s been no updates for this in over 5 years. If they don’t support their Mac version, then I wouldn’t trust
  16. [R43] myTuner Radio 1/5 · US Should be called Radio ads: Tried it out , nothing but constant ads. Deleted after 1 song and 15 minutes of ads. 1 star because it doesn’t allow zero. I understand the need for ads in a “free” version, but this is ridiculous. I’ll see if I get another condescending response from an idiot developer
  17. [R70] RadioApp 1/5 · US poor support: Don’t count on any support with this app. Developers only sporadically respond to support tickets. In my case, a local radio station stream stopped working in the app despite the same stream being up and running through other apps and through the broadcaster’s website. As with a previous issue I had, my support request went completely unanswered a month out and counting. Unacceptable
  18. [R13] myTuner Radio 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
  19. [R79] RadioApp 1/5 · US Premium still gives you ads, ??: Functionally, the app is actually pretty decent. However, for the subscription price, it’s supposed to eliminate the ads it plays before streaming the station. I subscribed…and still have to sit through several ads before the stream starts. When I switch to a different station, no ads…and then when I switch back, the same set of ads play again. I messaged the devel
  20. [R110] RadioApp 2/5 · US Don’t get the subscription: Long time user loved the app finally got the subscription to get rid of the extra ads and you still get a ad everytime you open it or close the app and reopen it. So why am I paying for a subscription to get rid of ads but yet everytime I open my app it immediately starts an ad so I will be canceling my subscription
  21. [R76] RadioApp 1/5 · US terrible app: tried this app several times over years bc i need a simple way to find LOCAL stations. it does NOT do that. I try to tune in a local station 96.3 in panama city and it grabs one from who knows where.. i try to add a region just to add MY OWN REGION and the only option is other countries!!?!? GARBAGE APP.
  22. [R81] RadioApp 3/5 · US Does it’s job: However, it doesn’t recognize some radio stations, Like 99.5, 93.3, or some others.
  23. [R100] RadioApp 1/5 · US Doesn’t give me local stations: I wanted to listen to my local stations but it keeps region blocking me because it thinks I’m in a city that’s on the other side of my state.
  24. [R7] myTuner Radio 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. [R19] myTuner Radio 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. [R85] RadioApp 1/5 · US Annoying: Just another app hoping you forget about their free trial so they can charge you for an entire year of service. Trash
