SomaFM Radio Player for Negative User Reviews

HmmmNo stations shown and so can't listen to anything. 4s with latest iOS.Version: 1.5

No Chromecast AnmymoreChromecast icon vanished. Can't steam to Chromecast anymore..Version: 1.6.9

Switched to TuneIn after iOS 5Big fan of SomaFM, I donate every month. Before iOS 5 this app was mostly OK although it sometimes crashed for no apparent reason and could not handle the transition from wifi to 3G streaming. With iOS 5 I haven't been able to connect to iTunes store to buy via previously bookmarked tracks. This was a deal breaker. I've switched to TuneIn Radio and have not looked back..Version: 1.2

Full of unknown songsI enjoy a wide range of genres, but almost all of these songs are not mainstream. It was too difficult to find a good station for me. Although, if you like non-mainstream, unknown, alternative music then you may want to check this out. I gave it 3 stars for the concept of providing free music..Version: 1.7.0

Need higher quality streamsThis app was pretty good but since the upgrade it won't play any higher than 64kbps at "high quality." Until this is fixed I will be using tunein radio..Version: 1.5

Has problems casting.I love Soma: donate when i can, BUT i cant recommend this app. if you have it running in the background and go to check who you’re listening to, it restarts but keeps casting too.you have to recast, or have audio come from both the device and the chromecast. every single time. its been reported a couple of times, 1st time a couple of years ago and it either cant be fixed or there is no inclination to. if you don't want to cast then its not going to be an issue. but i do so its 2 stars from me. Its a real shame. 2020 ipad and chromecast audio used..Version: 1.12.0

Needs higher resolutionI like the music, but Soma needs a higher resolution option. At least 256 AAC. Or even better, 1411. It is accepted that 128 kbps is just is not high enough to avoid losing too much of the quality. It is 2017, not 2007. People have faster connections and bigger data plans and WiFi now and so we can handle higher resolution music streaming..Version: 1.7.0

Waste of moneyApp won't connect, except for once. Then it dropped out after a few minutes. I feel ripped off. As for listener support, forget it. I already gave them money for nothing..Version: 1.2

CrapOnly two genres.Version: 1.2

Disappointed.I really love Soma fm but the app leaves much to be desired. Doesn't seem to work very well outside the US. I keep getting network errors and spinning status icons. But, once I use a VPN to connect back to the States, everything magically works. I have better luck just streaming the radio from the website in my phone's mini-browser than using the app..Version: 1.7.0

Save ur moneyI love soma fm, an listen to it pretty much all day. But, this app really isn't that great. A better deal is to buy the "TuneIn Radio" app. It has all the soma fm channels (plus others), better quality/reliability, and is cheaper to purchase than the soma app..Version: 1.2

Not very reliableI love soma.fm, but this app doesn't work very well. Connection is broken once or twice per hour; often times I can see the stations but the app crashes when or before I can select one. Disappointed. I should mention I have an old iPod Touch that no longer gets updated - maybe that's why I get poor performance. It works enough for me to use it, though!!.Version: 1.2

Jittery ScrollingPlease can you look into and fix the bad jittery, jumpy scrolling through the station list on the latest promotion phones 13/14 and 15. Would make the app far more slick. 😀 Other that love Soma.Version: 1.13.1

Problem with the latest version (1.13)!The latest version broke the Chrome cast feature. Now you can’t cast any station to a Chrome cast device without this app being the active app and the device being turned on! That defeats the whole purpose of using Chrome cast. Also, the song listing only starts showing those after you start playing. Previously it shows all the past played tracks regardless when you start streaming. I regret updating to this version and wish I could downgrade to the previous version (1.12)!!! Please fix these..Version: 1.13.0

Won't load to iPhone 4sErp..Version: 1.6.8

Not very goodUpdate: Re: Apple TV 4 compatibility … The Soma FM Apple TV app is mediocre just like the others, but also has a giant (and rather fatal) flaw. Apple TV apparently doesn’t know it’s playing and so after 15, 30 or whatever minutes you have the sleep or screen saver set to … The TV turns itself off and Soma FM with it. The developers need to set the flag that Apple TV needs so as not to fall asleep when Soma FM is playing. Especially now since “sleep” means “turn off TV and entire stereo system.” I love SomaFM and really wanted to like this app but it's just no good. Stations mysteriously drop, and stations quickly crash or drop with pretty much 100% reliability when you move from a Wi-Fi area to a cell network. This means if you put the radio on, and then leave the house for the day, it will crash as soon as you get 30 metres or so from your house. So you have to pull your iPhone out (in the rain), and try to reconnect etc. If you move in and out of Wi-Fi areas all day as I do this quickly gets infuriating. I'm also extremely disappointed that as an owner of the first SomaFM app (that I *paid* for and which was incapable of backgrounding), that this new app was released which *does* do backgrounding, is free, and which the paid users were never made aware of. Why the new app isn't an upgrade of the old I have no idea. Why the users of the first paid app were not apprised of the existence of the new one is similarly a mystery. I'm a big supporter of SomaFM and would likely have paid even for this new app, but the developers are (seemingly), amateurs and the whole business is rather distasteful. An app for SomaFM that worked and was rationally and attractively done would be fabulous, but it's starting to look like they just aren't capable of getting their act together..Version: 1.6.9

Not worth three bucksEven on low bandwidth option it cuts out for random lengths if time. Full bars on 4G and WiFi..Version: 1.4.1

Soma reviewI love these radio stations. I hate this app as it does not work. I cannot connect to any if the stations. I have looked on the support website and cannot make it play..Version: 1.2

Strange choicesAmazing, this has so many types of music to choose between yet there is only one jazz choice, and no classical choice!.Version: 1.12.0
