1. [R2] Simple Radio 5/5 · US Simple Radio: Hello, Simple Radio is an excellent app has all the stations that I can’t find or have been removed on other apps that I listen to. I do have one question however why is there no radio dial on the app? Just wondering out of curiosity and hopefully it will be added someday. Thank you very much for your time. Timothy or Midgett.
2. [R8] Simple Radio 5/5 · US Simply the best: I listen my favorite station from my country and other states
3. [R72] myTuner Radio 3/5 · US Meh: A few weeks ago, most radio news stations stopped working. No fix in sight either.
4. [R63] 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.
5. [R3] Simple Radio 3/5 · US Good but…: Be careful using favorites. I have a curated set of favorites that I surf daily. One accidental touch on the right side, where the stars are and POOF the favorite is gone. This happens to me on a regular basis and is wildly frustrating. I have reported this to Simple Radio, begging for a little more friction in this feature. No change in years.
6. [R15] Simple Radio 3/5 · GB Please introduce Favourites lock: I like the simplicity and functionlity of this app a lot, but for me there is a noticeable design fault. My 84 year old mother pays for the premium version and constantly acccidentally clicks on the blue star in the favourites section and accidentally removes some station or other from her favourites. She is not tech savvy at all and explaining to her how to searc
7. [R73] 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
8. [R18] Simple Radio 3/5 · GB Same problem as other people: Worked really well for ages, now will not open. Deleted & reinstalled twice but still not working, time to find another app I suppose.
9. [R51] Simple Radio 1/5 · US Staition drops a lot: I got this because my dad has a spot on a radio station WKJZ in Tawas MI., every morning and he’s getting older so it’s nice to hear his voice, so I don’t mind paying but ion a 20 minute show and 8 minutes your station drops service 4 times is a lot, Not Happy
10. [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
11. [R93] 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
12. [R1] Simple Radio 2/5 · US Annoying noise: I like the wide selection of content, so it is difficult to understand why they play an annoying noise instead of ads.
13. [R46] Simple Radio 5/5 · US Make it a Free App: It’s an Amazing App, helps keep me up to date especially news contents, it should be kept free please
14. [R70] 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
15. [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.
16. [R16] Simple Radio 1/5 · US Commercials Commercials Commercials: A lot of interruptions with commercials after paying $20!!!! UPDATE: After the CLEVER response from the app creators, let me clarify that the ads are coming FROM the app itself. I’m not talking about the regular commercials that any radio station would normally have. Instead of wasting time with clever responses, it would be better to fix the app. People are
17. [R100] 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. [R81] 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
