TuneIn Radio: Music & Sports for Negative User Reviews

Slight problem with bufferingThis is generally a good app, and previous versions have worked well. Unfortunately there is a problem with the current version. When the app buffers audio - particularly after there has been a gap in the phone's connection to the internet - it then skips parts of the stream during playback of the buffered data. On a talk-based radio show, this results in several words in a sentence being skipped, and the meaning of the speaker is lost. This is unfortunate, and will hopefully be fixed in the next build..Version: 4.3

Cancel this appI paid for the pro version of the app. quite some time ago. I Launched the today and find they changed to a subscription service. That sucks, I didn’t agree to the change and didn’t even start the “one month free” scam. I’ve deleted the app and won’t be using any more. Two thumbs down to Tune-in Radio..Version: 15.3

Tuned in radioThis tuned in pro used to bear very good, now it speeds equal time downloading and playing. No longer recommmend..Version: 21.3.0

Complete Bullsh!#So tunein radio won let you listen to the app without paying $9.99/month for a subscription to their “new” platinum version of the app. I paid a buck or two to support this app when it was no longer free... this was years ago... about a decade ago... and I stuck by them without complaining about the addition of all of their adds, both visual and audible. NOW THEY WANT $10/MONTH.... FU$@ THAT! TUNEIN NOW TUNED OUT! APP DELETED AND REPLACED WITH IHEARTRADIO! BIG MISTAKE TUNEIN!.Version: 15.2.1

STOP DOING WEIRD THINGSEvery time this app gets updated I’m taken aback by the dumb things that get removed or moved around or broken. I love TuneIn and I’ve been using it for probably 8 years. I learned early on the secret was to not update the app. Today it stopped working and I was forced to update the app. Now you can’t get to the ‘currently playing’ screen. Like you can’t go there. It won’t let you see what you’re listening to. To browse music stations you have to click through 47 screens and then scroll to the very bottom of a cesspool of things trying to force you to subscribe to them and whatever they are trying to sell you. It shoved the ‘favorites’ up into this other screen where they used to be easily accessible at the bottom, where they were fine. They were fine at the bottom. I’m going to stalk the updates until they update to something less bonkers and then ride that less bonkers version for as long as I can go before it forces me to update again. At which point I’ll learn the entire interface is in glowing emojis and all of the screens are jammed into the bottom left corner or whatever they do next in their quest to just constantly mess with things. It’s like an 8 year old picking at a scab. Just for no reason. Just because it’s there..Version: 20.8.0

Good but really missing the earlier versions scheduleI used tunein every day and really like its service, but it used to have much more detailed schedule information in a drop down for each radio station with time for each program in the schedule. Miss this feature :-( would also like the sleep timer to be fast selected.Version: 9.9

Plagued with intrusive ads. Now I also hate quicken loans for lifeI had this app for a long time, and I use it to listen to foreign stations occasionally, but since a few months this app became unbearable. When you open any station you’re welcomed with a high volume, high pitched, fast speaking, house flipping guru ad style from Quicken loans ceo: Jay Farmer. You would ask why now I know his name? Because its in every frickin ad! A botched remarketing algorithm must believe I’m desperate for a money loan because I’m literally bombarded with quicken loans ads every 5 minutes or less. Today it was the worst episode when I was literally flurried with 6 quicken loans ads in sequence not even one finishing before the next one started. That’s how bad this is. Now, to the listening experience: If you want to listen to a sports game, a concert, a news cast or something where you don’t want to lose the continuity, then look somewhere else because Tune In Radio will irritate you with an intrusive ad in the middle of the most interesting dialog from your radio show or maybe in the middle of your favorite song. Now I’m certain of two things: I will move to another app that treats the user with more respect, and I will never, ever go to quicken loans..Version: 17.3.1

Not connectingI only bought this app because I would like to listen to my favourite radio station in New Zealand Radio Rhema. I checked the Tunein website first before buying the app and the website said that that Radio Rhema is supported. But after having tried it several times the app cannot connect to Radio Rhema, kept on getting error messages and said that the Radio Rhema is not supported. I tried it as well with Life FM New Zealand and still error messages. Tunein is not working as it is supposed to..Version: 0

Robert RowsellWhere has my record feature gone ??? Despite having paid to have the Pro version. I have no record facility enabled, the button is unresponsive and greyed out (unavailable),and I would’ve been better off never having downloaded and paid for this app. I now only have the functionality of the basic app, Be warned, once you pay there is no guarantee you’ll get what you paid for still in 6, 12 months etc. Bitterly disappointed, as I use the app to access/listen to international stations I wouldn’t otherwise get to hear..Version: 13.0

Keeps repeating as others have saidI rarely review apps, but felt compelled to do so on this occasion. This can be a great app but every time there is a significant update the same issue happens with the stream constantly skipping back several seconds. Other reviewers seem to be experiencing the same problem. I don’t have this issue with other live stream apps (e.g those offered by the stations themselves) and it makes TuneIn simply unusable. Sorry TuneIn, but I’ve run out of patience with this and will just have to go direct to the online radio stations from now on..Version: 15.1

Makes for fun commute, but a few bugsUpdate 1/6/18. Just heard from tunein that “As of January 15th, 2018, we will no longer be offering audiobooks as part of our premium package. We hope you will come to enjoy our other premium content like 24/7 live streaming and commercial-free news with MSNBC, plus all the music channels and live sporting events throughout the year.” Sorry but replacing quality audio books with MSNBC? Ah, no. Still a good app, but content just took a huge hit. Pros: for $8 a month i get all NFL, MLB, and English football games. Plus current audio books. Ability to set events to my calendar. Get every radio station i can think of. Pause, record, go back to a spot, record, etc. been using the free version for years and now premium service - highly recommended for us commuters. Cons: several audio books cut chapters short. I contacted tunein and they acknowledged this was a bug being worked. NFL game commercials are replaced by mind numbing musak that really gets annoying with the large amount of breaks in the action..Version: 13.0.2

Getting worseNew update took away my ability to pause or rewind certain stations when I miss something. It also restarts streams instead of pausing when I use Siri or take out ear buds for a moment... dumb. Can’t seem to be able to record stations anymore either. No more functionality than a 1950s radio now, so what’s the point? Navigation to favorites is now getting overly complicated. If I press a button that says “favorites” I want to be taken to “favorites” and not another sub menu that requires further navigation to get to the actual Favorites. If you want good, intuitive, simple navigation, use car-mode all the time. Who cares if it isn’t as pretty, working good is better than looking good. classic case of app developers reinventing the wheel as a trapezoid... the 4 year app old version on my backup phone is far superior to this app now.Version: 18.8.1

Use to be goodThis was the best radio app ever, then they got greedy with subscriptions and after you paid for the pro version, stopped letting you record, and just gives you the left over junk from paid subscriptions. Need to find a good radio app cause this isnt it anymore. Cant zero stars but thats what id leave..Version: 19.6.0

Have tried to like Tune-in but it keeps letting me downThis was the first radio app I had and I liked it until it started dropping out and looping. I’ve tried going back a number of times since because it seems to be the only radio app that “records” what you’re listening to so you can go back and pause/resume but the looping problem was still there. Noticed today that there had been an update so I tried again. More fool me! Almost straight away the looping started..Version: 13.0.1

Can No Longer RecordI purchased this app many years ago and loved it for recording my favourite programs. I really enjoyed the option of playing back programs at a more convenient listening time. I no longer have a use for this app and will be deleting it..Version: 22.9.0

Once a great Radio app... not anymoreI’ve been using TuneIn Pro for many years and always enjoyed how well it worked, how terrific it’s recording function performed, how it let me reliably pause a broadcast and then continue it. Well unfortunately that high level of application quality has deteriorated with the past updates - so much, that It’s time to switch. There are two issues which cause my one star rating - both have been reported to TuneIn support and are being ignored (9+ months not fixed): Despite having the Pro version I am being entertained with a pop up screen asking me to subscribe... despite having clicked so many times to decline, the screen continues to come back. And then the pause function, which in the past reliably recorded the broadcast now often just drops the recording and starts the station fresh - that happens despite available storage space..Version: 19.8.0

Autoplay and custom URLs brokenSince the last update the autoplay feature is completely broken. I used to listen to a custom URL using the autoplay feature. This does not work anymore. Instead my custom station TuneIn picks some UK station I have never listened to. My saved custom station are either gone or don’t work anymore. When adding the stations again it works until the app is closed. I assume this is a deliberate choice by TuneIn rather than a bug. Have to switch to an alternative now..Version: 22.4.0

Was the bestSince disabling the rewind and record function in the UK my experience has been nullified. Ive emailed and have been told the UK music industry (MS) has filed legal complaints and Artists have complained also. Well thats all ok but ive never bought anything mainstream for 25 years and tune in radio covered my d & b and reggea needs perfectly. The problem is is that now i can not rewind and record. I was actually doing independent and obscure Artists a favour by seeking out and posting their music to Face Book for example. So once again the MS music industry puts it foot on the neck of others. I will never ever buy anything MS again no matter what. Pure commercial drival and superficially crap mostly anyway. Wake up. So tune in was the best but now as soon as i get a spare five minutes i will look fpr another radio app i can record from..Version: 12.8

Not impressedI want my ability to record back Please reset to version 5.1 or 2012 settings I have pro version I paid for don’t frig it up.Version: 19.5.0

Slow and doesn’t work with Chromecast audioLatest version takes seconds to respond to each user action, and doesn’t work with Chromecast Audio..Version: 12.8

Great Deal for AudiobooksUpdating review to five stars. I primarily use this app for the unlimited audiobooks. There is no better value for book lovers than their audiobook selection. Other services only allow a couple free books per month. With this app you can listen to as many books as you can all for the price of 7.99 - a bargain. Update: Still going strong and they have added many authors. I have the premium version not the pro. No bugs for me Update: They no longer provide audiobooks and it’s not worth the money for the other products they have. Very disappointing. They went from being great, to being just another internet radio station. Bring back audiobooks, market it properly, and you can make more money. The audiobooks should have been a boom considering other sites charge more per month and the quantity is limited as to what can be listened to. Great loss for listeners..Version: 13.6

Used to be good - disabled recording for UK customersI use Tune In regularly, so much so, that around a year ago I payed nearly £8 for the pro version which added recording functionality, as well as pause, rewind, fast forward etc, I went to use some of these functions recently to discover they no longer work and on emailing customer support was told those features had been temporarily disabled for UK customers due to legalities with record companies, With absolutely no word of warning from anyone at Tune In, UK pro users are now left with a app that is no better than the free version, Will we get our money back?, highly unlikely, will Tune in remove the pro version from the App Store?. . .who knows. I have to stress how annoyed I am that this stupid copyright nonsense Keeps cropping up time and again, The recording features in Tune in pro are purely for listeners convenience, there is very little one can do with the recordings in any case, and it’s no different to storing recordings on your computer, hard drive, flash drive or any other kind of personal storage. And in that context, if the recordings are for personal use, there should be no issue, So, my parting advice is, don’t get stung, don’t pay for Tune In pro if your in the UK and it’s still available, it no longer works.Version: 12.7

Tune in radioGive me back the record button ! 😡.Version: 19.6.0

Getting worseMight not be their fault but the streaming on 3AW Melbourne is a mess. Keeps buffering, cuts out, doesn’t start at all Also with the newer larger screen phones there are other stations below. So if you pick up your phone these are so easy to tap, changing stations. I hope this can be scrapped. Also miss having a volume dial on screen that tunein used to have.Version: 21.1.0

DisappointmentPaid for the pro version a few years ago which included no adds or commercials, now I have adds and commercials, and they want me to pay an annual subscription for no adds or commercials, dream on. That's what I paid for in the first place. This apps has gone from a 5 star to a no star app but no star is not an option. This app now really sucks, and I should get reimburse and also get compensated for this violation. I wound not pay attention to those false positive reviews either, the last reviewer is correct, developers sometimes play these games to boost rating for their garbage app out of pure "selfish greed" yes app sucks..Version: 14.9

Scam alert!I bought the pro version of this app already. I’m positive of that. I didn’t want to but I did it so I would at least have it and that’d be the end of it. However, now they’re charging a 10 dollar subscription on top of that? I get real sick of these app developers milking the users for every dime they can and this is a flagrant example of that right here. I will never ever pay another dime for this since I already paid for the pro app. I just don’t think that this is fair at all and we’ll see if this review goes up because they don’t usually allow reviews that are critical of the app, which that alone is nonsense. Sigh I just want a good app that isn’t gong to become a monthly payment for me. I just do not want that becoming another thing weighing down my bank account. If it were a one time payment and you own it like I had thought, then we’d be fine but clearly they milling the users dry..Version: 20.2.0

Rendered unusable by upgradeCan’t find favourite stations or any stations. The upgrade means this app is now a series of blank screens with the infuriating message “An error occurred. Please try again.”.Version: 13.0

Latest update fixes crash at startup BUT breaks another featurePro version stops playback when screen turns off! 🤦🏻‍♂️.Version: 25.5.1

Yikes! - hold off upgradingIf you've used Tune-In Radio and liked it, sit this upgrade out. The silly changes to terminology are bad enough but much of the basic functionality no longer works, menu choices lead to error messages, and on it goes. They must have appointed a Vice President in charge of bad design and broken functionality on this one. The paid/pro version was such a good product before the 'improved' it. If you are lucky enough to have an old version installed, do yourself a favor and wait for a release with all the fixes. It also seems like they may be deliberately creating performance problems and long delays to get you to upgrade from the Pro version you have already paid for to the Premium version. If so, that's unfair. Definitely looking for an alternative. This is no longer an acceptable product even if it were free..Version: 14.8

Excellent but why can’t I rearrange the order of my favorite stations??I have been a devoted user of this software for several years now but it is frustrating when functions that were once standard seem to disappear. Currently I am no longer able to move my numerous favorite stations into the order I would like in order to organize them into like groups within the master favorites list. Now when I add a new station I can no longer edit the favorites list to drag it up into the grouping it should be in. This functionality was present only a couple of updates ago. Please could the developers bring this back? It was of great benefit and honestly such a no-brainer that I am surprised to learn it is no longer there. Also, for those of us who have exceptionally long lists of favorite stations, can it be made possible to see ALL of our favorites right away without having to scroll down the truncated list of favorite stations to select “view all” just to actually see all of our favorites? This is otherwise an amazingly thought out and invaluable piece of software that is a must-have!.Version: 16.7

Beyond Disappointing - Do Not Subscribe!The app, as far as it goes, functions very well. The Premium Subscription, however, is complete junk and a waste of money. I won’t even go into my disappointment and frustration with the termination of the agreement between tuneIn and the NFL. No, I only want to talk about the fact that, as a Premium subscriber, I am getting pre-roll aand mid-roll ads for almost every station I listen to. I’m not talking about the local radio ads, either. I am talking about ads which are not heard on the stations over-the-air broadcast. When I tried to contact support, they pointed the finger at the individual radio station. That, in my opinion, should not be my problem. TuneIn lead me to believe that paying for the Premium Subscription would eliminate these ads. Otherwise, why would I even consider paying for the Premium service? There is zero value-add! Example: I tap to listen to a station in Florida. Before the station begins playing, I receive an ad for a Nashville-based hospital. And no, it is not unique to the station. This is unacceptable and had I not paid for a year in advance, I would definitely not have continued my subscription..Version: 19.6.0

Don’t like the new interfaceBefore I was able to sample listen radio stations from the search list but the updated interface face opens the station in full screen player mode so I can’t easily go back to the search radio list, need to search again.Version: 26.0.0

Keep failling since last version (pro version)App keeps failling since last version. To make it working, I have to delete the app and reinstall it each time. If I close the app, same issue and repeat the annoying work around..Version: 25.5.0

COMMENT SE FOUTRE DES CLIENTSVOUS M’AVEZ TERRIBLEMENT DÉCU DEPUIS QUE VOUS AVEZ ENLEVÉ LA FONCTION D’ENREGISTREMENT DE L’APPLICATION. J’AI PAYE POUR LA VERSION PRO ET MAINTENANT VOUS AVEZ CHANGÉ POUR UNE VERSION PAR ABONNEMENT AU COÛT DE 13.99 PAR MOIS AU TAUX DE CHANGE EN EURO. VOTRE COMPAGNIE EST UNE HONTE ET N’HONORE PAS LES ANCIENS CLIENTS. MAINTENANT JE RECOMMANDE, J’UTILISE LA VERSION ‘’ AUDIALS PLAY ‘’ QUI ELLE TE PERMET DE FAIRE DES ENREGISTREMENT DES STATIONS RADIO A TRAVERS LE MONDE. SUR CE EN ESPÉRANT QUE VOUS ALLEZ DISPARAITRE. CORDIALEMENT MES SALUTATION LES PLUS POCHE..Version: 25.1.0

Pay more?So I paid for pro version before and now you want to charge a subscription as Well? Greedy much? Bye..Version: 16.6

Ads in Pro VersionYou now hear an ad when you start listening a station. I paid for the pro version. Why??? This is so disrespectful for your customers that paid your pro app to NOT get ads. I still can’t believe it… I guess it’s normal in 2022 to piss off your customers when you want to make more money..Version: 22.9.1

Terrible app and worse customer serviceThe app is terrible and the customer service is even worse. I reported that the app would quite often loose connection (as I generally use it while driving) then upon reconnection it would play the audio at half speed or sometimes double speed. Customer service didn’t understand, it’s not rocket science. Anyway I recorded video for them to hear it. Then they asked if WiFi was good even after telling them I use it while driving. They never sorted the problem don’t care and so I have now stopped using it. Worst radio app there is and I had the pro paid for version. My advice use another better app..Version: 21.7.0

Favorite/ no moreI have been a long time subscriber to this app and have loved everything about it. A little buggy here and there but not that bad. I listen to audiobooks while working 6 days a week. I go through 10 plus books a month and love being able to browse through the selection to pick what I find interesting. THEN YOU HAD TO GO AND RUIN THE BEST APP IVE EVER USED! No words can describe how disappointed I am you decided to cancel audiobook content on Jan. 15. I would happily pay a higher monthly fee to continue with my subscription but after two emails to support asking why tunein is going away from audiobooks the only answer I can get is “audiobook content will no longer be available after Jan 15 we hope you continue to use the many blah blah blah” if tunein brings back audiobooks and even for a higher subscription I’ll be back. But I’m out now..Version: 13.1

Used to be good...When I first got TuneIn a few years back, you could listen to hundreds of different, exciting and niche radio stations from around the world. It was fantastic. These days in the UK you can’t record anything (haven’t been able to for years) and now my favourite network, Soma FM, is no longer available due to ‘area restrictions’. 😡 On top of that, the ‘pro’ version (poor choice of words IMO) that costs extra, originally didn’t include adverts. Now it does. Why?! Functionality is taken away over time and the consumer is still expected to pay?! People should ask for their money back. Thoroughly unrecommended..Version: 19.1

Out of all the radio apps...This is very good, and I have most of them but new update has removed the 'scan through track' function for my recordings. I've got lengthy recordings from an hour up to 7hours and I used to be able to track through to any point but now it just starts from the beginning each time which is a real pain with no way of fast forwarding. *** Update *** I purchased the pro app for recording functionality. It has now been removed and I see there is a subscription model which presumably means I have to pay for the features I had already paid for. If so, this is surely a dishonest act?! You shouldn't be able to conduct your business model in this manner and Apple should do more to discredit developers who do this. I'll be contacting Apple to raise a complaint regarding the conduct of TuneIn Pro..Version: 12.6.1

Increasingly disappointedThe reason I paid for TuneIn Pro is because I thought it would be ad free. Despite this I am repeatedly being offered streaming radio services and sports streams that I have no interest in, or being asked to open an account - which I also have no interest in doing. These often pop up before I can start listening. What is this, if not advertising? I just want to open the app and start listening to my favourite radio stations. Simple. These repeated offers are just becoming increasingly laborious and annoying. What is the point of paying for Pro if we are subjected to annoying pop ups before we can start listening anyway?.Version: 21.7.0

Adverts killed itSomething somewhere is adding audio advert streams to this app, of which I have the paid version. These are very badly implemented, and are not seamlessly integrated over the top of the American adverts. It happens over my home internet as well as my mobile data stream provider here in the UK. (Different providers). My enjoyment is now ruined and I am looking at different apps for radio streaming. Tune in actually have stated they don't want you to use the paid for version as they want you to user the "free" version and see visual ads. I can see where this is going, NOT recommended. It does work ok though, so if you are an ad junkie it may be for you. It is not for me though 😟 Update. Long absence from using it, turned on, ONE second of music then immediate adverts. You can stuff this app where the sun does not shine. If I don't pay, then I expect adverts. I DO NOT like adverts, I paid. And I got ripped off 😡.Version: 12.9

Can't record anymoreUsed to be the best app out there for underground and also mainstream radio stations with ability to pause, rewind and record. Now these features have been taken away which I'm gutted about. I can no longer record DJ sets on codesouth or show support for other underground stations or music styles/artists by introducing other people to this music through recordings, so if copyright infringement is what they are worried about then if anything, it's actually counter productive, as this is how smaller stations and artists get more exposure and recommended to other people, basically word of mouth. People don't record music to sell it in this way they do it to enjoy it!! Ridiculous!!.Version: 13.0.2

Fix it, pleaseI have used TuneIn for 10 years or more. It has always been good. I understood when the record feature was taken out, blame it on Apple. Now the ability to buffer 30 seconds of play has gone away as has the ability to back up and relisten to something and then fast forward to catch back up to the live stream. Those were really nice features and losing them reduces the functionality of the app. I also don’t like the “recents” section on the IPhone version of the app. It is way too easy to inadvertently press one of the recent icons and change the stream. That was really irritating when I had backed up the playback and was few minutes behind so I would lose the part I had not listened to. That problem has gone away since I can’t back up any more but it is still a problem because lots of stations have an initial ad they play when I first start listening so even if I switch back immediately to what I want to listen to I lose 30-60 seconds between the time to reestablish the stream and get through the “welcome” message..Version: 23.6.0

Used to be good. Avoid this oneHad this app for almost ten years. I PAID for the Pro version. last year they removed the record feature. I held off on updates until today in error. Yesterday I had a perfectly working app with recording features and historical recordings. It’s one thing to remove the feature but they yanked the recordings. Those were mine not yours. Screw you. I’m outta here. There are other alternatives.Version: 25.1.0

For me, a bait & switchI purchased one year of TuneIn Premium for the “audible books” that worked out to less than $10/mo for me. As someone with a neurodegenerative disease, who used to read for a lucrative living, now living on a fixed income, both the price point and service mattered a great deal, as it is now difficult for me to read my 3 kindles. I also enjoy having MSNBC on radio; however, I have Comcast, so with the iOS app, I can listen to MSNBC as a “radio app” standing alone or while using other apps, just as with TuneIn. I would like to talk to TuneIn Premium’s Customer Service, yet it seems they would want me to do that. My Annual Renewal of TuneIn Premium is approaching in November and they stand to lose someone who could be a continuing, automatically, annually renewing customer, which is great for their books in competitive markets; however, my “customer service” tab in TuneIn Premium’s “settings” links to a blank service recommendation, which I had no option but to use. I cannot see any other method of contacting TuneIn Premium Customer Service, so I’m going out on a limb and guessing that the Customer Service Team who dreamed up this ploy is not as large as their marketing team, if not their economics forecasting But I hope and shall continue my pursuit of the TuneIn Premium’s mythical customer service. I shall update my review of TuneIn Premium’s Customer Service. 😳.Version: 14.8

Killed the app with latest updateI loved the app, until now. The latest update made the app unusable. Previous versions had 30sec back and forward buttons next to the play button when listing to a stream. That was extremely useful. You could go back or forward in 30sec intervals to listen to something again or skip through commercials if you paused the playback. Those buttons were changed to scan. Which changes the stream you are listening to similar to a scan function on a radio to scan through stations. I don’t want to do that while I’m listening to a radio station. Please bring back the skip feature. I paid for the pro version and I extremely disappointed that this was changed. I’m going to look for a different program until this feature is returned..Version: 13.7

No longer recommend with version 3.6The latest version - 3.6 - is a big backward step in usability. The ability to see programme scheduling has been removed, so you can't plan what you want to listen to, and when, and cannot catch up on programme episodes that have been missed. I have managed to retrieve version 3.5 from the Recycle Bin and reinstall it, so back to where I prefer to be. Lesson learnt: update apps directly from the iPhone/iPad and check them out before doing a sync with iTunes..Version: 3.6

Indispensable except...My favorite radio app because I can get the stations and podcasts I want all in one app. It remembers my sign in and saves me from the inconvenience of having to log in repeatedly like other radio apps do. I have been a user for several years now and there is one BIG bug that continues through version to version. This app has no buffer. When the signal (WiFi mostly) gets weak, the app goes into a repeat loop and gets stuck there. If I’m doing chores in the yard and move in and out of range for just a few seconds, the content gets stuck in a 10 second or so loop. I have to quit the program and restart it to restore the stream. It’s the ONLY audio app I have that does this Fix this problem and you will have a world-class app. Please..Version: 17.3.1

No respect for people with previous versionI bought this app pro version and i cant browse anything, it days an error occurred please try again ....!!!! It seems with new upgrade they kick previous buyers out to pay for new upgrades.Version: 15.4

Warning - update removes record functionThe recent update removed the record function and deleted all saved recordings. They removed this record function without mentioning it in the update notes - a dishonest move. Worse yet, forcibly deleting already recorded radio without telling users was a terrible decision and bad customer service. I’d rather buy a competitors app now, because there’s nothing that sets TuneIn apart from them other than actively keeping their customers in the dark..Version: 19.4

Disgusting Greedy ShamelessMy recordings have all been deleted! What an utterly disgusting, greedy and shameful act! How can you do that to loyal customers who have been using your app since the very beginning? How can any app delete a user's data without warning? Absolutely disgusting selfish actions. Greed won't get you more customers! The long term users will remove the app now and the potential new users will read the reviews regarding your behaviour and hopefully realise this app is no longer desirable or trustworthy! Absolutely NOT trustworthy! Pathetic treatment of you oldest customers. This app is now rotten to the core!.Version: 19.2

Not happyOnly giving one star because I have to. If I had the choice I would give no stars. You have ruined an app that I would use multiple times daily. But I don’t anymore since you took away the record feature. That is what would separate you from the rest. I refuse to use this app which is now useless to me unless that feature returns. Don’t recommend this app because what the PAYING customer wants doesn’t matter. Now they have decided to take away the only 2 radio stations that I listen to. They ask you to review the app but don’t listen to you. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP. It’s rubbish..Version: 22.10.0

DisasterHave had Tunein Pro for several years and worked fine. Suddenly this month it will not open and goes to black screen. Can delete and reload which works for a few hours then goes dead again so have to reload once or twice a day. Tunein admits problem but won’t say when or if it will be fixed. Unbelievable!.Version: 15.1

Wi-Fi problem AGAINI gave been using this app for a long time. (decade?). Every sipo often an update comes out that prevents my use. The latest is now preventing me from accessing content unless I allow use of cellular data. I have paid a fee at one time to use the Pro version. I do not see why I should allow access to cellular data when my home WiFi network passes my ISP's speed tests. I most often use the app at home. If I am away from home I MAY use cellular data if necessary. However, I should have the choice. I do not want the service to mandate that I use my cellular data because they want me to. I do not have unlimited data. I do nor need it normally. TUNE-IN please restore my ability to use the service through WiFi and make sure future updates do not cause me to lose this ability again. Three times (at least) is demonstrating more patience then some thing should be granted to such repetition on this issue. Potential users: Think carefully about tjis issue and whether you want to be forced to use cell data all the tine to use this service. What will make me happy? Tunein fix the issue and make sure you are not playing info gathering games. As I understand here are other services available. Have I submitted a complaint to customer service from within the app? yes on more than one ocassion..Version: 20.8.0

Should be better.Add the ability to create Siri shortcuts for individual stations. The app Receiver does this well. The premium subscription is so overpriced and painful in Canada. Showing the American price in app should be considered false advertising. Be aware that the subscription costs $13.99 not $9.99 for us lonely Canadians. Good thing we’re used to being ripped off..Version: 15.5

Regret paying for itApp spends a LOT of time buffering, no matter what station I am listening to. Recent station buttons don’t work. Poorly placed buttons at bottom edge of screen are confused with swiping up motion of screen. Almost every button press needs to be repeated..Version: 21.2.0

Arnaque!J’ai cette application depuis longtemps et je me réveille un beau matin et ils ont supprimé mes enregistrements et la possibilité d’enregistrer mes podcasts... Une belle arnaque. Éviter cette compagnie frauduleuse!.Version: 19.3

No better than any other radio appSince the ability to record/rewind was disabled, the £8 cost of this app is just for removing ads. Really? I wasn't fussed about recording but the ability to rewind 30 seconds and listen to whatever I missed was massively helpful. Not any more – although the developer's help section still says that recording/rewinding on the Pro version is possible, it's not! Surely, it can keep 30 seconds' worth in memory? If not, get rid of the greyed-out record, etc. buttons. They're deceitful and unnecessary clutter..Version: 13.1.1

Does not work for Apple WatchThe only thing I wanted it for was using as a standalone app for my Apple Watch with cellular. It doesn’t do that, which I was led to believe it did..Version: 18.1

App believes I’m not connected to InternetI purchased TuneIn a LONG time ago. It may have been 50 cents on sale. It's been that long. So I have seen this product evolve to what it is now. Update: TuneIn is definitely much better than it has been in many years But there is a nagging bug that continues to frustrate me. It thinks I am offline! This strictly happens on Cellular data connections. Like many bugs, it happens once in a while. I will walk out of my house to exercise while listening to music and most of the times, the handoff to cellular data is seamless. But about once a week, it will not work. The home screen says “Browse not available while offline.. Please connect to the Internet”. The Favorites says “Request failed: forbidden (403)”. Closed the app. Reinstalled. Updated. Still behaves the same. Only solution is to reboot the phone which is a nuisance. Shouldnt have to reboot my phone because this app misbehaves. I already contacted support and they basically said if works after reboot it is fine. What?? Please do something about this. I am sure i am not the only one with issue. iPhone 11. iOS 13.5. Tunein 18.5.Version: 18.7

Not as good as it once wasI’ve been using the paid version for about 4 years now When I first got it, I used the record function a lot so I could record fav stations and listen to them at my convenience. That stopped working a long time ago. I wrote several times for technical help and even posted in one of my reviews on here and nothing ever came of it. The record although there won’t record anything I tried listening to .977 Comedy Channel tonight for the first time in a few months, again a channel I used to listen to a lot, now i am greeted with “not available in your country” and in the UK So your claim to be able to provide channels worldwide to listen to is now actually a lie, you cannot provide channels worldwide to listen to if they are locked to certain regions If your looking for a decent internet radio app, this one is “okay” but it’s far from the revisions of the past with now what appears to be restricted access in certain regions, I will now be looking for an alternative app Very very disappointed.Version: 13.1

RubbishI only use tune in while getting ready in the morning - I use an alarm with snooze function like most of us.. problem is with one of their many updates they took a backward step and when an alarm plays the radio stops completely and you have to unlock the phone go into the app and re start the station- it always used to just pause.. I thought updates were supposed to improve apps not make them useless. Long time tunein customer - no more would rather have all the individual stations apps that actually work properly unlike yours.Version: 14.6

Removing our recordings without any warning is an absolute disgraceLike many others on here I had years worth of recordings, some that were important due to personal reasons, and now they are all gone. This is absolute contempt for your customers and disgraceful conduct. I’ll look for another radio app to use from now on. (Update) This app seems to think new updates involve removing features instead of adding things or making things better. Removing the rewind button makes no sense and now this app offers nothing but playing radio and nothing else. What a joke.Version: 23.8.0

TuneIn Radio’s fallI just discovered why TuneIn Radio has gone from of the greatest apps to one of the worst, Google now owns it. And all they are interested in is money, control and power, so much so that it is vital for them to know, when you take a dump, what color is your underwear, who you talk to, and much more. Every single thing you do is known to them, even my review. To confuse them the best thing to do is take pictures of nothing you care about, search the web for things you have no interest in or even hate. Give them so much false information that they won’t be able to tell the real you from the fake one. The new TuneIn app has been programmed to force adds and subscription and crap at you, with Facebook being one of them. If you don’t believe me open the app for yourself, I mean the program. They are buying up so many companies and technologies that will hack into everything you own, so best thing is to confuse them so much they won’t know who you are. Thanks.Version: 15.2.1

TUNE IN APPUsed to be the absolute BEST! Audiobooks were included with the Premium app which is $10/month. I’m visually impaired and it was a wonderful thing. Now they have removed the Audiobooks feature completely. Additionally they disabled the ability to “download” a single book upon the announcement they would be discontinuing them, so they effectively disabled any way to save books I had read, or planned to read, or was currently reading and not had the chance to finish! This was a sneaky and underhanded way to end the Audiobooks feature - there were several partly read books I couldn’t finish in time, and because they disabled downloading at same time as announcement I couldn’t save them for later. Even though I was still paying $10 month premium. Now that they have removed their best feature, I personally find there is no further need to continue paying for the Premium app. Shame on Tune In !!!!.Version: 13.1

Ads are too intrusive even with premiumI listen to 2 stations (1 iHeart station and 1 sports radio station) to listen to baseball games. I got this app to listen to both. I don’t need any other content. The iHeart station works equally to the iHeart app without a subscription while the sports station works worse than other internet radio apps. The iHeart subscription is cheaper than TuneIn premium. The sports station has overlaid ads that take too long and they delay the game. MLB breaks between innings are 2 min 5 seconds as of a few years ago. There should be no more than 2 ads then the app needs to go back to the station to avoid delaying the game. The premium subscription dies not remove those ads and the last update made the ads even more intrusive. If I switch to the iHeart station then back to the sports station, the overlaid ad starts over and delays the broadcast of the game, which is a major issue for live sports. This app was supposed to remove pre-roll ads, that’s a big reason why I paid for the pro version, but the last update broke that. I’m done. The frustration has been building for a while now. The last update was the final straw..Version: 24.0.0

Very SNEAKY free trialI’ve been using tunin pro for several years, however today the app just would not connect to the online services so I deleted it and reinstalled it. When I reinstalled it, I was FORCED to select a “free trial” of the premium subscription which then automatically goes on to a monthly billed service. In order to “cancel” this “free trial” , you are forced to dig deep in the settings menu on the iPad to access iTunes subscriptions. I wasted quite a while trying to find this and I feel it is deliberately hidden away to trick people into mistakenly signin up for the premium service. My words of warning to anyone downloading this app : MAKE SURE YOU UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THE FREE TRIAL IMMEDIATELY, ONCE YOUVE DOWNLOADED THE APP. YOU WILL STILL GET TO USE THE FREE TRIAL SERVICES, BUT AS YOU HAVE NO OPTION OTHER THAN TO TAKE THE FREE TRIAL, YOU REALLY SHOULD DEAL WITH CANCELLING THAT SNEAKY SNEAKY SUBSCRIPTION IMMEDIATELY. Tunein , your Product Management and Sales and Marketing VPs should be ashamed of themselves.!v.Version: 13.1.1

Not happySince update I am earrings pre load adds. I’ve got the pro version what’s up with that ?.Version: 22.9.1

I couldn’t give it zero 😡 this app has lost its directionI've had this app for sometime now - there was a massive upgrade issue last year and now the recent upgrade ONCE AGAIN RESTRICTS THE STATIONS I USED TO GET!!! Error messages about playlists and I can't get stations that I used to and now local radio stations seem to be taking over WHAT'S GOING ON?? Please fix it!! Now they have removed the recording function without notice!! WHAT RUBBISH!! Lost all my recordings that I paid for!! Been loyal since I paid for the privilege recording version maybe 10 years ago. I asked why I lost my recordings and they basically said - bad luck. Now it’s just another streaming service that wants more money!! This has made a lot of long time users VERY ANGRY 😡 You are better off just going to the the station you want because it will be for free. I AM SO UNHAPPY ABOUT THIS - AND JUDGING BY OTHER LONG TERM USERS SOMARE THEY......Version: 20.2.0

RubbishI paid for premium a long time ago. I downloaded some radio programs for offline listening. And then one day tune in canceled the button to reach downloaded programs. They were just radio programs and I didn’t think that they were indulgent with copyrights. Although I paid the premium pay-out, I can no longer listen to my favorite radio stations any longer..Version: 19.3

Dishonest sneaky liarsI bought this app years ago when it was useful. For an extra amount I bought a one time pro upgrade that let me make recordings. The last time I got a new phone and updated the app apparently I was moved to a different pro version that charges 9.99 per month. Once upon a time you could listen to a decent number of radio stations. I suppose the iHeart companies forced most stations on their app so tough luck TuneIn, but it’s really low down to trick long time customers into something they never wanted. Also shame on Apple. I just discovered this reoccurring charge on my card. Apple should be emailing me my subscriptions each month. Of course if Tim Cook is comfortable with using the equivalent of slave labor from Asia, I doubt he cares that a company is using the Apple ecosystem to rip off senior citizens. Beware of purchasing this app..Version: 17.4

Interrupted streamWhenever playback is interrupted (eg from an incoming call, alarm, a video on Facebook app starts playing) the tunein stream stops completely and does not automatically resume once the temporary disruption has ceased. This never used to happen and when I emailed support they say it is intentional! Who on earth would want such a negative feature? What’s more is — despite the fact I have paid for the premium version of this app — they still force you to listen to adverts when you open certain stations. I used to love this app and I used it all the time but I’ve found myself using alternatives because it’s become unbearable and unusable..Version: 13.0

Already paid and now I lost my PRO versionSame here. I have already paid for the pro version and TuneIn removed it by changing the plan. Well thanks for stealing my money..Version: 17.1

Your new release has erased all my recording!You can remove the recording button but YOU HAVE NO RIGHTS TO ERASE ALL OF MY RECORDING. I PAID YOU CLOWNS FOR THE PRO VERSION TO HAVE THAT FEATURES!!! Not a smart move! I would rather pay for my Apple Music subscription than paying you a subscription fee. I hope you bankrupt soon, Cheers!.Version: 20.6.0

Where did I go wrong?Paid a premium, got the pro version a decade ago and the app used to record. Am I missing something or did TuneIn drop the ability? My old iPhone still lets me record which I like doing overnight and listen during the day but the app is getting patchy it just doesn’t work or do what it used to my new updated iPhone still says TuneIn pro works better but with no headphone jack and the no ability to record the overall experience isn’t what it used to be..Version: 25.4.0

Having issue with appThe app keeps turning off when I start it up. Please fix..Version: 25.5.1

Ads and Commercials in TuneIn PROI used to love TuneIn because it centralizes all of the digital radio stations that I have, which then, prevents me from having to download multiple apps for each station that I want to listen to. So, I was thrilled to find that they offer the Pro version that does not have the visual ads and the pre-roll commercials (based on their app description as of May 16, 2023). And I had been enjoying TuneIn even more because of this. Yet, lately, what do I find when I open the app, or when I select a station (as of May 16, 2023 too)? Yes, at times, the visual ads (certain shows and etc), and lately, the pre-roll commercial too (Ashley furniture and etc.), which defeats the purpose of purchasing the Pro version. Perhaps, the Pro version still has less ads and commercials compared to the Free version. But, at this point, I start wondering why should one purchases the Pro version if we do not see the feature that makes the Pro version different from the Free version. I do not know if this is a false advertisement or just a bug, but this is clearly an issue that needs to be fixed..Version: 25.5.1

Annoying!! Loses radio feedI record my favorite morning show because they have 15 minutes of break for every 20 minutes of show. I will start tune in recording when I wake in the morning. When I get in the car to leave, it only lets me go back 30 minutes or so even though it has recorded much more. If I lose the station (transitioning from WiFi to 3G taking more than a few seconds, for example), the station shuts off, stopping recording. You have a choice at this point. Listen to what you recorded so far or reconnect and listen live with no way to go back in time. Why can’t you start playback of live radio from the start of recording while continuing to record? Why can’t you continue recording when you lose the station and reconnect? These are tremendously annoying oversights..Version: 13.4

Feeling ripped offHow come after having tune in pro for years which I’ve paid for, I am now asked to pay a subscription.Version: 15.1

Terrible NowTerrible app! Over the past couple of years the app has been getting more and more useless. You could initially record which the feature was then removed due to legal reasons which is out of the developers hands but now it’s regionalised in terms of no longer being able to listen to stations from abroad which you used to be able to do. May as well just switch your radio at home/car on now and just listen from there. Loads of other similar apps on the App Store allowing both recording and listening to foreign stations..Version: 19.1

Mixed feelingsAs one of the original users, the app have gone through a lot of ups and downs. It seems stable now. Even though I paid for the app, I am now constantly being asked to take a monthly subscription even though this was clearly not agreed when purchasing. I think it’s not right guys! Do the right thing and honor your initial agreement please. Cheers.Version: 17.3.2

Bring BACK RECORD!!!Was great before & I PAID FOR PRO To have RECORD and it has bugged me so much i rarely use this app anymore..Version: 26.3.0

What changed????I am an frequent user of TuneIn. I enjoyed it so much that I upgraded to the Pro version; however, I used to be able to record my favorite news shows. This was especially convenient if there was a schedule conflict with being able to listen to my shows live. But, I noticed with a recent app update, that this “recording” feature was removed. Really disappointed, truly disappointed, Without this feature, what’s the real need to having & paying for the “Pro” version? I wish the company would bring this option back. Until then, I’ll be searching for other apps that more so align with what I am looking for.Version: 24.3.0

Angry long time userFirst, what happened to chrome cast? I can't broadcast to Google Home devices anymore. I 've used this app for years but the deceptive way they're pushing their premium service is a step too far. I accidentally subscribed to their free trial when I opened their app and the way to unsubscribe is not obvious at all. If I wouldn't have looked into it I wouldn't have know I would be automatically charged after the free trial. Totally unethical. I will be looking for an alternative to Tunein..Version: 15.1

RefundI would like a refund since I paid for the pro version and now all of a sudden I have to upgrade to get the features that I’ve already paid for..Version: 15.2.1

Ads load but stations don’t.I loved this app when it launched years ago. Now with the inserted adverts that start whenever you start the app the radio stream that should follow often fails to load. Many radio stations now offer their own apps. My advice is delete this one and go straight to the source. Disappointing to see a good app go bad. 👎🏼 + I also was attempting to use this app on the Apple Watch. It’s slow and clunky and seems to be on some sort of delay. Unusable. I feel bad to write such a negative review but unfortunately it’s justified..Version: 13.4.1

UK User - record no longer worksAs a radio player it is still a great app with great sound quality. But I bought this in the past because of its ability to record radio. Once or twice a year I would record something to be able to keep it for a while so I could listen to again in my own time. This feature worked great. I went to record a show this evening and the record button was greyed out. I tried lots of other radio stations. Every one the same. So I can no longer record. I looked online. Found out this has been the case for over 6 months but the app makers failed to tell its users this. So now I have exactly the same features as the free version. It should be made clear that anyone buying this in the UK will not be able to use the record function. Very disappointed..Version: 13.0.1

No bufferingI use it in the car and despite setting to 30 seconds buffering it starts playing immediately which means any interruption in network coverage gives an immediate drop out. Coupled with the fact it seems to be unable to stream a talk station on anything less than 3 bars of 4g makes for a lacklustre mobile experience whilst actually mobile. For in car use one seems better off going to the station's web site..Version: 16.7

Used TuneIn for Years - Kinda Like It ButDowngrading my original review because I’ve never subscribed to Tunein Pro and I keep getting charged for it, have cancelled it multiple times, but like really bad heartburn, the subscription and the charges for Tunein Pro keep coming back to my Apple account. Previous Review: Have used it for years. Wouldn't live without it, but in the last year, the constant requests to rate TuneIn when I was trying to start a show or "TuneIn" the news, has resulted in using this much less and one older iPad in our bathroom being thrown out the window. Fortunately, the iPad didn't land on anyone at the time. These constant requests for sign-ins and ratings are clearly hazardous and, the results, in terms of app functionality, reliability and features are made meaningless by this kind of disingenuous and, fundamentally, dishonest approach to surveys..Version: 16.8.1

Disappointed!I used to brag to my family and friends about this app years ago now I’m embarrassed to even bring it up because of how bad it has gotten! I am leery to update since it might get worse with each update… Please fix, and bring back the record feature..Version: 26.5.0

RecordGive me back the record button i payd wen you stasted so i shoud steel have that option.Version: 20.7.0

Paid Subscription‽Why am I now asked to pay for premium content when I already paid for the app? Feel cheated..Version: 15.2

Record FunctionI loved using the record function to record the US stations over night while sleeping and listen to it when going to work in the morning. Loved doing this. I also remembered that I had to pay a small fee to access the “Record Function” Now this paid for content is gone and I now have to pay even more for something I already “opened” as in Paid For. No longer can I record my favourite stations. Not a happy chippy. Good thing I still have old recordings on my device 😍.Version: 13.0.2

Used to be good, but…Spatial Audio was being generated for most stations by default when using AirPods. Around 4-6 weeks ago (after updates) I noticed it was not working on the default stream for stations, I had to select a different stream for Spatial Audio to start working again. However in the last update yesterday, all Spatial Audio has been turned off. I have not been able to find any stream with it working now, nor can I find any setting in the app that enables it. Why would you turn this fantastic feature off? It is a major differentiator..Version: 23.6.0

Recording Was The Main Reason!!!I loaded and then paid for the “Pro” version of Tunein radio because Why? -> Because I loved the idea of being Able To Record anything that I was listening to from this app come tailored program. And then some 5 years ago suddenly I couldn’t record any more progs, so I contacted Tunein, and was told to “hang on” so They could Investigate what was the problem. So, I hung on, and hung on and... until today being the 14th of April 2018, when I decided again to contact Tunein. And guess what? Tunein radio No Longer records anything from the UK due to copyright reasons (thanks Auntie -that’s the beeb for the people who didn’t know) which I understand.. Now here’s the but point. But why oh why was this not highlighted in simple text underneath the record button. ->I’m sorry to those of you who don’t like reading any lengthy comments, but this had to be typed, tapped and smeared on my touchscreen to give clarity to my rant. Bye bye Tunein, you were like a teenage girlfriend who promised all, but ended as a tiring month of broken dreams!.Version: 13.5.2

IOS 13 Volume Control DefectWHEN ARE YOU GOING TO FIX THE VOLUME BAR DEFECT?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Your latest updated today causes the volume control bar to continuously show after adjustment when playing back via AirPods. It never goes away. You have to lock phone or quit app and then it disappears as it should. Way to test the app before publishing it. 🙄 If you have your AirPods connected and you’ve used another app for playback before opening TuneIn, when starting a stream in this app, the playback happens via the iPhone speaker rather than the AirPods. Fix this. Everything else knows it should pipe via AirPods, but your app apparently doesn’t. Stop deleting negative reviews until you actually fix the issues!!! If you’re listening to music live and you take a call, the music will continue to cache in the background so that when you get off the call the music starts playing again where it left off. Problem is that after a bit of it playing like that, it’ll skip forward to the current live stream point and lose all the cached playback. I listen in AirPods so I don’t know if that’s playing a part in this, but it does it on cellular or WiFi, it doesn’t matter the connection, but it’s really annoying and needs to be fixed like ASAP..Version: 16.8.1

SCAMPaid for “Tune in Pro” a couple years ago instead of opting for the free version. Then they pull a “Let me introduce you to PREMIUM” where you have to pay a subscription. I believe this is a greedy cash grab and is a disingenuous corporate policy. Don’t patronize such players. Vote with your money..Version: 22.9.0

Black screenApp not working any more on IOS. I even reinstalled the app, logged in and out but only getting black screen. What’s up with that?.Version: 15.1

Was Great, But Now With Ads 🤬I have used TuneIn Pro for years, pretty much since I got my first iPhone, after initially using the free version for a bit to check it did what I needed it to I then paid for the Pro Version of the app. For years it’s been fine, great even. But now, they’ve changed the model of their app and introduced adverts to the app which cut in randomly - particularly when I’m listening to the news on my selected Radio station. Other companies have added new models but allowed existing users to keep their experience the same as they always had it, sadly TuneIn has not. To get rid of these one now has to pay for a Premium subscription, which gets you access to some (US) commercial-free news stations and (US) sports channels. I live in the UK and none of that is something I’d use, I wouldn’t even listen to the UK equivalent stations. I listen to a local commercial station from where I grew up not where I currently live so have to listen to it as an internet station. But this TuneIn advert addition is fast making me reconsider using TuneIn at all. Very disappointing. Going to be searching around for a new way to listen to the radio, there are many ways to do this now so probably a better app out there too..Version: 24.2.1

Steady erosion of featuresI have had the “pro” version for years. It used to be functional - it allowed you to pause and rewind broadcasts, including things like CNN. And it enabled you to record them. Very nice. Unlike the freebie vanilla version which didn’t have that. And you didn’t have to listen to Tune In commmercials interspersed in the broadcast. Well, over time that’s all gone away. You can get CNN, but you can’t pause, rewind or record. You are forced to listen to the annoying Tune In advertisements. You can get NPR, and you can pause, isn’t that awesome. But you can no longer record! This must be one of the recent “bug fixes”. It’s hilarious, because the “record” button still exists. It’s just always grayed out!! Obviously the intent of this app now is to harass you into paying more to get the “premier” version, which seems to want to replace the “pro” version. Shoddy and disgusting, there is no way in h—l I will respond to such harassment. I will go somewhere else, or just do without..Version: 19.2

How do I report them?I had about 8 years of my radio broadcasts on a station I provide content to on here and you deleted it without warning. This is atrocious and you should be ashamed of yourselves. I just lost nearly a decade of my work. If there’s a way to recover it, I’m happy to hear it, otherwise you should just close your doors because you don’t care about customer experiences clearly..Version: 19.5.0

Record, FFW, REW Gone!TuneIn just lost another customer. I purchased and used this app for many years due to the record, Pause, FFW & REW functionality and the ability to playback recorded material, specially in areas without access to internet. The Pause, FFW and REW no longer work. The pause is Stop instead. The record function has been removed and my many hours over years of recorded music and health related material has been deleted without any warning at all. I feel robbed! it’s as if someone broke into your home and stole all the furniture. That’s what it feels like to have all the recorded material taken away by iTunes. Very unprofessional and disappointing! Tunein Radio no longer offers a competitive advantage to other music streaming apps..Version: 23.6.1

Since update Pro thinks I’m offlineSince I updated to the latest Pro version 21.8.0, it continually thinks I’m offline and the home page and library are unavailable and that I should try later when reconnect to the internet. Went and downloaded the Free version and it works fine!!!!! I just did a major update to my iOS and all my apps, I now find that the recording function and all my recordings are gone. This was one of the primary reasons I paid for the Pro version. REALLY NOT HAPPY. This app WAS great but not anymore. Update: TuneIn support advised the following which worked. - Close pro app - Put device in airplane mode - Open pro app again - Turn off airplane mode and the app will reconnect - Sign out & sign in again Still not happy about losing the record function but at least the Pro version is functioning again..Version: 21.8.1

No benefit to buy pro versionI paid for the pro version, but there is no difference with the free version..Version: 26.3.0

Not happy at allPaid for the pro version. , first they add commercial , now the remove the record. And I lost all record that I had for years :(.Version: 19.2

Updated: Ruined, getting worse and worseNew review for Nov 2020: This app was already on a path to destruction but now it has even removed access to my old recordings on the device without any warning. What an absolute bunch of ****. As if that change wasn’t rude enough, the data isn’t even deleted, you just can’t get access to the files anymore. What a joke. If this is the future direction of all apps, we’re going to need to find another way and destroy this world of pathetic restrictions. We’re not living in China. Sort it out authorities. Old review: How can an app get worse over time? It beats me but TuneIn are masters of it. It no longer records, you get constant hassling to upgrade even though it's already the paid version, it no longer buffers properly when multi-tasking between apps now. I've got a suggestion guys... Stop "improving" your app because you are ruining it. Time to delete and go elsewhere methinks..Version: 19.5.0

Please bring back rewind functionI have been using TuneIn for almost 8 years now and the rewind/pause function is a major reason for me to prefer it over other radio apps. Why has this been removed? Will this be implemented again what is the timeline? I would appreciate a response. Thank you. Edit: Are you ever going to respond to any of the feedback and questions here?!.Version: 24.8.1

Just Another Typical Streaming AppThis app used to be great - I could set alarms to automatically record online radio streams (even custom URL ones), and I can listen to my favourite overseas radio programs (that are broadcast at 1AM local time) at my leisure. But for whatever reason, copyright or greed, all these functionalities have been stripped. As a result, I have moved on to listen to podcasts, and TuneIn app has become next to useless for me..Version: 25.7.1

Just stops workingUpdate again -still looping endlessky making listening extremely annoying. New phone, newly downloaded ap. terrible. Update - the app keeps replaying sections of broadcast. Very annoying as it is subtle and seamless, and took me a little while to work it out. No fix yet :) Could be a good app BUT for no reason and with no pattern, it just stops working. Every now and the on launch nothing happens. Press play and there is an error with playback. Very very annoying and stops it getting top stars..Version: 17.2

Like song - missingThanks to latest update, the feature of LIKING CURRENT SONG - disappeared. the loveheart button now offers only (un)FAVOURITE STATION, and not song being played. thanks tune in, for everybody who is satisfied with the version being used atm - dont update! so you will not face your app features disappearing..Version: 18.2

Still has a long way to go!This is an update to my previous review. Unfortunately, as much as the app tries, it just can't seem to get some things right. For example, even though I have in-App Review turned off, this app continues to ask me if I enjoy it. Clearly it does not respect my wishes not to be asked to rate the app. Yet, even after I tapped no, it will ask again a week or 2 later. Persistent & refuse to accept feedback. Also, if I indicate no, I am immediately taken to the Help page. Wo, I didn't say I need help. I just answered your question if I enjoy the app. If the answer is no, the best thing, & some people can say it should be the only course of action, is to ask why I say I don't enjoy the app. Sending me to the Help page is sort of telling me I am the problem..Version: 25.4.1

Tune in pro but not anymoreI had this app since it first came out but over the last few years it has gone crap, you use to be able to record but no more, I use to listen to stations abroad but no more, I live in the uk and can’t even get radio 1 anymore, I also can’t get go radio from Scotland, don’t bother there are free apps out there that are better that this now, I did pay for pro version then 2 years later I got a replacement phone then when I downloaded the pro version put my details in only to find it didn’t work, contacted support only to be told that I’d never purchased it, waste of time.Version: 23.2.2

Pro version RecordingI paid for the pro version to get the recording function and by the last update tunein cancelled the recording button. This is unacceptable..Version: 19.2

Subscription??I already paid for pro, now they want me to subscribe again? bait and switch. DELETED..Version: 15.2

Past glory in the U.K.There was a time when TuneIn Radio was the best app for radio or podcasts but after a court ruling sadly it had its wings clipped and was rendered near useless as only U.K. stations can now be received in that country when listening there. My Logitech internet radio also used their database and this too was neutered becoming a U.K. only internet radio… I bought it to listen to the world. There is a way to overcome these restrictions by using a VPN on your device or on your router (if it supports it). I have deleted TuneIn from my iPhone as there are other apps which can do what it isn’t allowed to do here. I’ve also sold my internet radio whilst it was still worth something as there seemed little point to it any longer. So, here in the U.K. at least it’s a story of Paradise Lost, a great shame..Version: 21.0.0

Clutter making user experience dreadfulI have been enjoying this app for years but take issue with the increasing amount of clutter getting in the way of the usability of the app. I have no interest in sports radio or any of the other suggested stations invading the homescreen; I’d prefer to find the stations I enjoy on my own, thankyouverymuch. My favorites list which includes hourly updates of certain news outlets, podcasts, etc. has now been relegated way down the page, forcing me to scroll past a bunch of nonsense to find them. Additionally, I’d like to see a “swipe right/go back” gesture to navigate back to the home screen without having to crawl up to the upper-left corner and tap the “X” in order to return to where I was. I have a big phone and my thumb doesn’t reach up there easily..Version: 26.0.0

No more custom streams! No more pausing. No more recording.I mostly use TuneIn Radio Pro to play my own stream from my own server 95% of the time. I have saved my streams as Custom URLs and Favorite them. For many months now, I have not been able to play any stream not linked to within TuneIn Radio. The only way I have found to play my streams is to type in/paste the Custom URL again. After that it plays, but pretty much just that one time. Later in the day if I want to play that stream again, I need to paste the URL in once again as a Custom URL. It’s like the Favorites buttons on your car radio just displaying what station you select, but not tuning to that station, you still have to turn the dial to tune it in manually. Then there’s the long lost feature of being able to pause a playing stream for up to 30 minutes and resume it and not lose your place in the audio. And of course, the recording feature that was removed for legal reasons. I just wish I could record and pause what is coming off of MY OWN STREAM, is that so illegal? So, TuneIn, you went from a 5-star app to a 1-star app and that is only because I cannot rate you lower than a 1. Do you not have a development team or coders any longer?.Version: 21.9.1

Heartless & UnconscionableHero to Zero Beware!! TI have gone from a 5 star to zero over the removal of one feature. Happy to lose the record FUNCTION... BUT WHY DID YOU DELETE ALLLLLLLLLLLLL MY RECORDINGS? Years worth! No MENTION or advanced warning of losing the saved recordings. NONE! And, as if you wish to rub salt into our wounded hearts....WHY IS THE *RECORD BUTTON* STILL PRESENT ON THE USER INTERFACE? Sitting there as it has for YEARS, but now, greyed out and MOCKING US? I've been loyal to you since the beginning. Shame on you. As if you give a rat's a***. Then you claim to "understand [our] feelings on the change" and offer us a 6 month free subscription of a less than product as if that will heal the loss of YEARS OF WORK. You understand NOTHING. May another app topple your perceived world's best status asap. NL.Version: 18.0

Banner Ads on the paid version, Buggy, slow to loadStill with the F&ck!ng ads. I really think a lawsuit needs to happen. Just when you think folks have figured out how to make a stable ad-free version of paid software imagine my surprise to find rolling banner ads on my Pro/ advert free software. Besides being miffed with that the app is slow to load, it often freezes and fails to resume playing a stream after phone calls or when getting back into the car after running an errand. It just freezes. This app used to be really good, then they started adding crap no one cares about... I wouldn't recommend I only use it because I paid for it. You know what works? The banner ads they insist on putting in my app. $9.99 for the privilege if having a banner ad for home depot at the top of my favorites page with no way to turn it off. Support is none. So long as Apple allows these app developers to het away with this they will. Keep in mind while this app is "starting up" what its actually doing is calling home to Tune In to download banner ad content instead of streaming your music..Version: 12.6.1

Overpriced ad-festI paid a ridiculous amount for this “pro” app to get rid of advertisements and the constant upselling, but the ads keep on coming - ads in the app, ads in the sources, even ads in the streams themselves. No, I don’t want to “sign up”. No, I don’t want to pay for a “premium experience “. No, I don’t care to listen to your affiliate channels. No, I don’t want to buy your other quality apps. Yes, I am sure. No I don’t want to share you with my friends. No, I don’t want you to connect to my “social network”. What I’d like is for you to go away forever. No, I don’t want to sign up…..Version: 20.7.0

Where are the favorites?The latest update has made it impossible to find or change stations. Favorites are gone now because you get ads and news instead of the radio on a radio app. Not the best move guys. I can’t change stations now so can’t use the app. Why did you remove the ability for people to easily change or search for stations? Is it a radio app or a news app?.Version: 12.8

If you wanting recording don’t bother- install AUDIALS RADIO insteadAUDIALS RADIO gives you back the ability to record radio streams! Nice interface as well.Version: 19.6.0

Don’t bother, they’re thieves.I paid for the “Pro” app years ago to rid myself of the ads in the free version, they then decided to ask for more of my money when they introduced a “Premium” version to “see less ads” in the Pro version! Now they remove my ability to listen to 90% of my favourited stations because they’re “not available in your Country” …but they were when I favourites them? I’ve had enough and will delete this crap app and find an alternative that doesn’t use Sharp practices. I despise Thieves..Version: 20.7.0

Love it butI liked this app but when the app has been in the background for a while or when you first launch it it DOES NOT automatically load the last stream listened to. This makes it POOR for hands free use. I have now downloaded another radio app that not only plays the last station played at startup but it is also recognised in the Siri Shortcuts. So I can load the other app via Siri and it will automatically start playing. This is great when you are in a car or on a motorcycle! I have mentioned this shortfall before but do you think the developers listened? Bye bye 🖐.Version: 14.7

Reliability issues are backHistorically I found updates to the app would often leave it very unreliable. The updates improved for quite some time until last week - now the app works very infrequently. Once in every 10 attempts to steam, it might work. Very frustrating..Version: 15.6

Sadly, goodbye...TuneIn has attributes that might normally earn four or five stars, but I've discovered a deal-killer: The app won't function with my VPN (virtual private network) activated. I always protect my online privacy to the max, and this means encrypting all of my traffic, both incoming and outgoing, and masking my identity and location to the extent possible. If TuneIn won't work with VPN, does this mean the company is trying to collect data from my activity? The app tells me I have no WiFi connection, but I do, of course. Does this mean the developer is unable to handle encryption? Or, perhaps, doesn't want me to mask location or identity? I'm going to delete TuneIn from my devices after posting this review. I've found other online tuners that work okay for me with privacy protection enabled — myTuner Radio and Simple Radio are two examples. In these times, we need to protect our privacy from corporations who want to sell us and governments who want to repress us. That's why I subscribe to a good VPN (Tunnel Bear), I never use Google search and have zero contact with Facebook or its subsidiaries. Remember, if it is free, you are the product..Version: 15.2.1

Still can’t rewind or fast forward old recordingsI made recordings years ago, and I still can’t seek my old recordings. I’m forced to play them through. This has been broken for years..Version: 15.4

Tout perdu mes enregistrementsJe suis extrêmement déçue. J’ai payé pour la version pro il y a plusieurs années et j’ai perdu tous les enregistrements que j’avais et maintenant on me demande de payer. On aurait pu nous avertir et nous offrir quelque chose. J’ai trouvé ça sauvage comme façon de faire désolée, mais je ne suis plus intéressée et je vous conseille de ne pas faire confiance à cette app.Version: 19.7.0

If you are in the uk don't buy the pro versionThe only difference between the free and pro version in the uk is that you should be able to record but you can not so there is no point buying the pro version this was a great feature!!!!! I used it allot tune in told us nothing there should be a note for all uk users that the record button does not work!!!!!! So people are spending there money in the uk for nothing!!!!.Version: 15.2.1

App deleted for arbitrary censorshipI’m deleting TuneIn Pro as it has joined the hysteria surrounding Alex Jones and InfoWars by deleting his stream. It should go without saying that freedom of expression is not about protecting the rights of those with whom you agree. I don’t agree with Alex Jones but if one disagrees with him, challenge him, don’t silence him. And to date, none of the corporate interests who have colluded in his concerted banning have provided any concrete examples of the accusations that they have levied, let alone any evidence to back up their allegations. I’m only sorry that I cannot dispose of my Apple products quite so easily but it will happen over time..Version: 14.4

Great...when it works.Works fine directly on my phone but is consistently buggy and unstable in CarPlay mode - frequently fails to connect or respond correctly when launching a new stream and displays errors on the phone. I inevitably have to pickup the phone and initiate the stream from there before it works. Frequent updates have failed to resolve this which is a shame..Version: 13.0.2

Great app for radio for the world. But no record!!!!Was once a great app to use since 2012 till now after finding out what happened. Bought this app to move from the free version to the pro cause it had the record function till it got removed cause of legal issues. Didn’t even thought recording from the radio would cause a problem cause old radio have record on them to put on cassette. Even new radios have record buttons on them to record what ever you want. Now won’t be able to record my new year countdown celebrations from the radio. Going to miss that option. Cause I’ve always liked playing back my recorded New Years countdown from my iPad in tunein. Tunein was my favourite app cause never knew that you could listen to the world and record back then..Version: 12.6.1
