  1. [R2] RadioApp 5/5 · US One of best: I like this radio app. It is simple and easy to use and a premium subscription doesn’t break the bank.
  2. [R3] RadioApp 3/5 · US Stations not available: This was a good app but then I tried to put it to one of my favorite stations the ranch and it wasn’t available and I’ve waited like a whole week and still nothing
  3. [R6] RadioApp 3/5 · US Great …. Sorta: I love the app I love that I live in Tennessee and I can listen to my hometown stations. BUT the repetitive adds over and over and over like the Kroger add is so annoying
  4. [R16] 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.
  5. [R1] RadioApp 2/5 · US 0nceGood - now notso much: …fix "stall " between station changes
  6. [R13] RadioApp 1/5 · US Station goes out after a few minutes of play: Not sure if this is a limitation for not having premium, but the station goes out and it changes to random soundscapes nothing to do with the station
  7. [R15] RadioApp 3/5 · US Lag: The app lags a lot when beginning/opening up or when paused. It’s a great app to listen to the radio in your area but the lag to log in to the station is irritating.
  8. [R4] RadioApp 1/5 · US RadioApp: The app really doesn’t work 1/2 of the time it fads off and eventually 1.2 u will get to listen to music so much 100% static then anything else
  9. [R12] RadioApp 3/5 · US Good radio app but kinda broken…: Its good if you want to listen to radio at some tines but one mistake and it wont let you switch to another state or country.
  10. [R9] RadioApp 3/5 · US So many ads: It’s nice but there are soo many ads even in between songs
  11. [R19] 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
  12. [R25] 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
  13. [R10] 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
  14. [R59] RadioApp 5/5 · US Great app, but issues suggesting stations to add: I tried to fill out the form to add a radio station suggestion and I want you to add 99.1 FM The Bear in Bangor, Maine. I didn’t understand the error code. They have a website and a streaming service on the website so you probably can add it to the app. I paid the $50 for the app. Other than reviewing the app, I don’t know how to get any technical
  15. [R69] 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
  16. [R28] RadioApp 2/5 · US WHERE DO ALL THE ADS COME FROM?: 2026 May- using the app for over a year. I listen to a local radio station (WSB) with no difficulties until recently. Now the app plays 3+ minutes of ads before streaming station. Behavior only began within the last week or two. What’s sad to me is it’s not uncommon to you’re the same ad repeat in the same block before the station starts streaming.
  17. [R61] 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.
  18. [R46] RadioApp 1/5 · US hidden price tag: Not paying $20 a year for radio
  19. [R50] 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
  20. [R79] 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.
  21. [R21] RadioApp 3/5 · US Does it’s job: However, it doesn’t recognize some radio stations, Like 99.5, 93.3, or some others.
  22. [R40] 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.
