  1. [R8] myTuner Radio 5/5 · US My go to show!: Love the hosts. They are very entertaining and down to earth.
  2. [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
  3. [R23] myTuner Radio 5/5 · US Great Rock Radio: All the classics solid listenin
  4. [R26] myTuner Radio 5/5 · US Feeling: You can hear Eastern influences here.
  5. [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.
  6. [R18] myTuner Radio 3/5 · US Great app, works on older iOS: I love this app for its simplicity and compatibility. I’m okay with adds *except* for those that hold you hostage. Even the X icon takes you to the App Store, and they force you to play their stupid game no matter what. It feels rude, arrogant, frustrating. Thank you, best of luck and many satisfied users!
  7. [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
  8. [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.
  9. [R2] myTuner Radio 5/5 · US Review from Zimbabwe: Very good and convenient. Good sound quality.
  10. [R5] myTuner Radio 5/5 · US Very enjoyable: Very
  11. [R11] myTuner Radio 5/5 · US 94.9: Great !
  12. [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.
  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. [R12] myTuner Radio 3/5 · US Meh: A few weeks ago, most radio news stations stopped working. No fix in sight either.
  16. [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.
  17. [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
  18. [R61] Radio FM 1/5 · US Excessive forced ads: Excessive Ads & pop-ups destroyed this app. Cannot minimize window preventing the listener from conducting simultaneous activities on other apps. Oh! Did I mention the ads are Excessive preventing music from playing.
  19. [R64] Radio FM 1/5 · US Getting worse and worse!: Ads ruined this app. I get it, couple of time you get an ad, but now literally every single time you switch between apps and you want to get back to the same screen with the station info, you get an ad.
  20. [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.
  21. [R10] myTuner Radio 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
  22. [R70] Radio FM 2/5 · US Advertising does NOT go away: I was led to believe that subscribing would allow avoiding these long advertisements. They DO NOT go away. They are embedded in the streams. I will not be renewing my subscription for $49!
  23. [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.
  24. [R80] Radio FM 5/5 · US Thank you!: I’ve never written an app review, but after a long search I found this- the only radio player to work on older devices. I’m thrilled- thank you!!
  25. [R83] Radio FM 5/5 · US Love the station offered: I can just find whom I’m in the mood for and just sit back and chill. Love all the different selections of artist. I listen mostly on a iPod so as long as I have WiFi I’m good. Thanks for making this app! Respect
