British FM Radio - Live Player for Negative User Reviews

✓ Connection issues when switching from WFI to dataI have a problem when my phone automatically switches fro wfi yo data when I’m using the app as when this happens the radio stations cut out meaning I have to reconnect to the station I was listening to meaning I have to get it back out of my pocket defeating the whole issue of what the app is for..Stargate 1Version: 2.1

✓ Amazing selection of stations, app needs some key improvementsThis app has the best selection of independent UK radio stations I can find in an IOS app. Because of that it’s the best radio app I’ve found. But there are a couple of serious issues I’d love to see fixed: - It doesn’t seem to be compatible with CarPlay, meaning it isn’t safe or legal to change stations while driving. This is a big problem / gap imo. - It isn’t possible to sort Favourites by name - they only appear in a list in the the order you add them, which is annoying and not convenient for selecting stations. But I’m still really pleased to have such great independent stations in one place.BenBunnVersion: 2.4.1

✓ Great app once you get past the data curtain and gamesBiggest issue with the app is the infuriating ‘consent’ wall you have to go through. You either consent to all or spend a few minutes clicking on ‘do not consent’ and even worse ‘legitimate interest’. You could of course ‘accept all’ but then you are agreeing to any of the hundreds of data brokers to use and sell your data (note it’s THIER ‘legitimate interest’ and they don’t state what that is). Once in you have to suffer some stupid game footage that runs and runs until finally the small ‘close’ icon appears. Click on the wrong button? That’s you redirected to buying the game. Now looking for another app-to the app owners HINT: Have a ‘reject all’ option in the first page instead of forcing people to either accept shady businesses to sell their data or laboriously trawl through and manually tick ‘off’..Xx5xVersion: 2.6

✓ Buggy AFI paid for the app, thinking it would take off the ads as promised. Guess what? STILL plays ads, even when following the advice to ‘restore purchases’ (doesn’t work). Even more irritating than ads is the temperamental search feature. I literally have to come out of the app and then relaunch it if I want to do more than one search! Other issues are my favourites are not always showing up and in general there’s a very limited selection of mainly podcasts coming up if you search for the kind of stuff you want to hear that isn’t cheesefest “muzak” genre. For example, if you look for afrobeats only about seven results come up when it’s clearly a major music direction with a large internet presence. Seriously stressful considering music is meant to be enjoyable and music apps are meant to facilitate the listener’s enjoyment..826/,MVersion: 2.1

✓ A great app but with one issueApp is great - I can listen to stations with ease but when I connect my iPhone to a speaker the pitch goes up. It’s still listenable but it’s annoying and I end up listening through the website. Perhaps this can be looked at in an update..144582954Version: 2.1

✓ Default music appThis music disappears and defaults to iTunes when using ear phones and connected to apple play. You have to go back into the app to start playing again as it defaults to iTunes dosent seem to recognise it as a normal music app.Tookay36746Version: 2.4.1

✓ AdsThis is a great app. However, I paid to get no adds but I am still getting them. Very frustrating!.KeetaozVersion: 2.1

✓ AddsI have paid for the add blocking option but still receive adds all day long . Without the adds this app would be excellent , great choice and massive selection of music . I would pay 10x to get rid of the adds permanently..DewieclemVersion: 2.4.1

✓ Where’s Magic Soul?Had the app for a couple of days and really like the tile layout apart from the X on favourites. Not yet ready to part with any money because it doesn’t work with Apple Car Play nor can I find one of my favourite stations, Magic Soul. When the app is updated to enable (what for me is) these essential services, I will be first in line with my money and two more stars!.BriformacVersion: 2.4.1

✓ Misleading tacticsBe careful, $3.00 for removal of ads is for visual ads not the audio ads. Most of you will not notice the visual ads as you are not looking at the screen. Slimy misleading tactic. And they throw in an equaliser so you don’t feel completely cheated..BixxxterVersion: 2.1

✓ Again good BUTWhen the screen closes it switches off, this, in a phone esp is really dumb, if you switch the screen to stay on your battery will die MUCH sooner. I use the LBC app tho’ that buffers too frequently but at least I can go for a walk/ work with phone tucked away this would be SO much better and I would buy if it worked in the background..Nigel PorridgeVersion: 2.1

✓ Shuts down when you put your iPhone into standbyObviously I don’t want my screen on and phone ‘running’ when all I want to do is listen to the radio so I quickly deleted it. Worked ok but the battery won’t last if the screen is on and phone will get hot in my pocket. Also Ad’s and games are in your face all the while. Most irritating. Reading the top review it must be written by the developers as it’s tosh..Clive R JVersion: 2.4.1

✓ A taste of home!As an expat in australia yearning for proper good music on the radio was delighted to find this app, my only issue is as it’s streaming any channel it repeatedly cuts out and back in again ( No it’s not my WiFi connection) Otherwise a fabulous tool to hear my homeland music, even down to my home city Liverpool can get local stations and keep updated.Lynda Lou 59Version: 2.4.1

✓ Dropping out to muchKeeps dropping out to my wifi amp and speakers got to keep trying to reboot both.Wato in ozVersion: 2.4.1

✓ WAS an excellent appFirstly, this is the only radio/music app that I’ve ever be impressed enough by to purchase the paid version. Up until around a week ago I would have given it a full 5 star rating but the ‘update’ to fix bugs appears to have broken the app. I previously used to put the sleep timer on, shut my eyes and drift off to sleep. Since the update the sleep feature no longer works and the app stays on all night (or at least until it wakes my wife up). I’ve also noticed that I now, on a daily basis, get the request to ‘allow all cookies’ which is to say the least VERY VERY ANNOYING. Please, please can you at least sort out the sleep timer function so it works properly again?.Dedicated WarrenVersion: 2.6

✓ Doesn’t workDoesn’t work.TransiencephotographyVersion: 2.4.1

✓ How do I get a refund?Don’t download this app and DO NOT PAY TO REMOVE ADS! - You pay and the ads remain. This app is also broken, the station you are tuned into pauses itself after less than 5 mins and you need to press pause, then play to buffer. I tried deleting the app and re-downloading but it’s still broken. Last update was literally years ago! 🙄 But, they have managed to increase the price of the ad blocker from £4.99 to £5.99 since I downloaded it a year ago. There is no way to contact the developers and source a refund. This app is simply a scam and should be removed from the App Store..WheatleypieVersion: 2.4.1

✓ Shame on Steve AllenRead what this man said about a 19 year old woman: ‘Steve Allen, a host on the U.K. talk radio station, “LBC," called Ramsay "chubby" on the air while discussing her recent appearance on the British reality dance competition "Strictly Come Dancing." “She’s a chubby little thing, isn’t she? Have you noticed? Probably her dad’s cooking, I should imagine,” Allen said.’ If you support his show or listen to this man, shame on you. What a vile thing to say to anyone at any age. Steve Allen doesn’t deserve an audience..JosephFoutsVersion: 2.4.1

✓ Ability to return to radioI like the app and use it a lot. However it doesn’t seem to support the ability to return to the radio after a call or some interruption. Which is quite annoying, as you then have to open, select, play. Which doesn’t always work seamlessly. The larger music apps do support this function and guys...it’d be great if you could manage this..Dingo_78Version: 2.1

✓ 3/5 for one core issueOtherwise great app - audio will not continue to play with the phone screen turned off. Which is nonsense. Plays on the Lock Screen with the screen on. Should be able to function with the screen off for an audio app. Please fix..LegottiVersion: 2.4.1

✓ Great appTends to cut out....Evo robinVersion: 2.1
