Simple Radio – Live AM FM App for Negative User Reviews

Just downloaded it and had issues before the first song endedApp looked good, had high ratings, went to select a station, first song being played, and it pauses and buffers and wouldn't play the rest even after pausing and pushing play, wouldn't play other music from other stations either. I value my time, I just wanted to push play and do other things as the music played but that came to an end once the song stopped and I was trying to resume it. Disappointed. I'm going to try a different app..Version: 4.2.12

No longer plays in the background.I love this app and have used it for a number of years but since the new update a few days ago (to my iPad)I can no longer play the app in the background when using other apps..Version: 5.0.0

PatheticImagine the audacity of making an app with a single purpose, and that app being unable to serve that purpose. Failure, simple as that..Version: 6.8.0

How many more years will it take for you to fix CarPlay?TuneIn works perfectly with CarPlay. Why after so many years haven't you been able to fix CarPlay integration? You have to launch the app manually when connected so you can control it with CarPlay. This is ridiculous and NOT needed in TuneIn Radio. I want to use SimpleRadio and buy the subscription after TuneIn radio banned all stations of tje world except a few from the UK. But I can't if you don't fix the CarPlay integration!!.Version: 5.2.0

AdsThis is an app you'll pay for rather than put up with their obnoxious approach at shoving ads in your face. It's pretty much the same across all radio apps which appear to exist solely to collect on clicks. Compounding it for me was the ads were from ambulance chasing lawyers. They make me puke. I trashed the app after 3 ads got served up within less than my first 2 minutes with the app. Just a thought: Make sure you're paying because you want to use the app rather than get rid of the obnoxious ads. I've found with radio apps the basic app is nothing special and not worth any money (it's free in the music app and that one has a better interface and more functionality)..Version: 4.2.11

Keep lookingDrops out all the time. Full of adverts. Annoying when you’re trying to listen to the news for 3 minutes..Version: 7.9.1

Ads ads adsIf you like listening to radio stations that stop working so you have to continuously keep pressing a small pay button in the corner of the screen then this is the radio app for you. Plus if you like adverts, you don’t just get the ones on the radio station you get to listen to the same ones the app is advertising over and over again. I paid to remove them, but it only removed the visual ones you still have to listen to the audio ones... nightmare..Version: 4.2.14

Keeps cutting outFor no reason at all the radio stops despite strong wifi/mobile signal. Very frustrating!!!.Version: 6.8.0

Works well exceptWorks well but pop up ads have a x placed in a corner and sometimes can’t be gotten out of and closing it down turns feed off very frustrating so I go back to Sirrus.Version: 7.2.1

BustedThere is nothing to suggest this free app will charge me for use. I find this unacceptable and will cancel and delete this app, if only I knew how?...Version: 4.4.4

DisappointedRadio keeps cutting out constantly both on wifi and mobile data. I found MyTunerRadio to be a lot more reliable..Version: 7.5.0

RipoffI have tried to contact them as I have been charged for something I can get for free elsewhere but surprise surprise no response or refund please beware of these people.Version: 7.7.0

Wanted to love itI hate this app more and more every day. I listen to KTSA pretty much all day, but this makes it hard. It keeps cutting out for no reason, or dumb reasons like adjusting the volume on my iPhone. It also makes multi-tasking difficult. With IHeartRadio I can go into my email, Google, Facebook, etc. and the radio keeps playing as long as I don’t go into a video. This one now cuts out if I just go into Google! It is better now that you don’t have to listen to that annoying Kinetico ad that came on when you opened the app, but it’s annoying that when you tap to open the app you have to wait until an ad comes on screen and you have to then manually close that ad before the radio plays. I guess I’m just so used to things moving rapidly and don’t like that I can’t tap to open and walk away..Version: 4.2.11

Latest versionIs buggy like hell. Please fix!.Version: 6.1.2

The App That’s King of Spam AdsThis app used to be great, but just like many other apps, has given way to spam adverts to become one of he worst. I don’t have any problems with the app using adverts, but when you try clearing the adverts from your screen, but it then takes you automatically to the sellers website, it is simply a pathetically low act..Version: 6.3.0

Another App Ruined by GreedThe extremely intrusive ads are ridiculous! Your response is also ridiculous! Everyone with ‘common sense’ understands the need for advertising especially on a ‘free’ service but your ad’s are full screen video that have to play out before I can use the app. I have already deleted your app and will never use it ever again! I might of considered subscribing but you are asking for too much money..Version: 7.9.0

Cuts outSeems like it is cutting out more since last update. Sometimes closing and re-opening app fixes. Also ads sometimes cause it to pause and you have to close and re-open. Understand you have to run ads. A couple times I had to power cycle phone. Also previous version and current version often cut out when I get close to my car..Version: 7.0.1

Obstructive adsObstructive ads for apps I already have.Version: 7.3.0

ReviewKeeps cutting out/pausing.Version: 5.8.2

Radio over nightI find it so frustrating that the radio cuts out all the time especially if you are listening to an important comment or conversation. I have gone back to my clock radio by my bedside. No problems with that connection. Let me know when you are able to fix the problem & I will return using it.Version: 4.7.1

3/5This app work good most of the time,but sometimes it gets stuck and repeats..Version: 5.4.0

Radio keeps cutting outThe quality of the music is good, however every couple of minutes it cuts out for a second, then goes back to playing the music. I’ve tried deleting and reinetalling the app, but nothing works. I have a subscription and i love the app, but please fix this annoying bug. I tried with mobile data and wifi, but it still keeps cutting out.Version: 6.9.0

Recent problemsI have used this app for a long time and enjoyed it very much. However, of late I have NOT enjoyed it. Recently the app has started ad pop ups about every 4 or 5 minutes, interrupting the program I was on (I enjoy old time crime and science fiction dramas). I used to be able to open it, start one I wanted to listed to, and it played in the background while I did other things on my phone. Now, its adds stop the program, forcing me to stop whatever I was doing, and go to it to fix. Or, it will just stop playing as soon as I minimize it. Or it will start a garbling of the sound as I minimize it and open something else. I would have to close the app and reopen to get it to stop, but shortly it would start again. I have deleted it from my phone. I will try one more time with it, and if it just doesn’t stop, I will delete it and never use it again. (Which, I know, is no big deal to you; there are plenty of other users, but I just thought you ought to know that it’s really irritating and frustrating to lose part of the show I was listening to just because of ads!). Thanks anyway, though, for the enjoyment I did get.).Version: 6.1.2

App rendered useless, because of so many adsWhy offer something free when it doesn’t even work in the first place? The ads are so prevalent. It has rendered the app useless. Thanks for nothing. And I’ll never pay for radio..Version: 7.0.0

Good, but ads make the free version unusableOthers have pointed out many good aspects of this app. I will only add this: The free version is not usable unless you're okay with ads popping up every time you change stations or every few taps as you search for new ones. Nothing is free, and I'm happy to pay for apps whether it's with reasonable ads or via an upgrade fee. But wow! As I explored this app the same ad kept popping up over and over and over and over, and I got more and more ticked off. I'd rather upgrade because I love the app and I want to support the app developer, not because the ads harass me into it, a la Pandora. That just makes me leave. My 2 cents..Version: 4.2.10

Something wrongRecent versions stop playing when the app is put in the background. Background app refresh is on. Restarting the device fixes for a while. Happens across multiple devices..Version: 7.5.0

Internet radio.Seems to have huge connection issues that need to be ironed out if this option is going to provide a satisfactory service. It seems “off line” too often. Most frustrating and very annoying to say the least. Also the sound quality is not up to par for a professional radio station in 2018 ! Your main opposition runs rings over you in nearly all areas. You need to up your game please. Thank you..Version: 5.4.0

The App recently stop working from the backgroundI love this app while I am driving and have my navigation app running at the same time. However, recently it stops working from the background..Version: 5.3.0

CommercialsAre annoying.Version: 7.2.1

CricketSo annoyed Magic Talk 102FM is not connecting on this app today when I badly want to listen to the cricket - the only reason I have this app actually !.Version: 5.3.0

Advert blocks from changing stationsI couldn’t remove the first advert to get back to the channel selection page. Very disappointed.Version: 4.5.0

Rip off cuntsDoesn't advise of any charges when downloading app,,,then check in bank account an there’s barstards have billed me.Version: 7.0.0

Unusable nowIt was great for a while but with new updates, they decided to put ads every time you change channel. These ads are very difficult close as the buttons are in different spots and mostly invisible. Obviously sneaky. More important, you cannot put it in background or lock screen anymore. Makes it very difficult to do things while playing. I will give one or two shots but likely to delete it. Used to be good..Version: 7.6.0

Last morning with radio DJ - wouldn’t connectI am so sorry to be that person but I was really disappointed this morning when the station wouldn’t connect. After nearly 50 years, the morning show DJ of 92.1 wdla is retiring after his show today. I was so excited when I saw you streamed the show, but after multiple attempts in the app and browser versions, it won’t connect. I was really looking forward to hearing his last show today. I know you are very busy, I was just disappointed today, especially after seeing all the great reviews it has. I also tried another station, and while it connected, nothing came through. This definitely could have been the station itself but it was frustrating..Version: 4.2.23

Cannot listen to a reliable or consistent streamSimple Radio is the only way to listen to a local AM station. However, I cannot listen to a reliable or consistent stream. I try to listen on an apple iPhone 11 Pro and an apple iPhone iPhone 14 Pro with the latest software. My home Wi-Fi is extremely strong and my cellular connection typically has three or four bars, so that’s not an issue. I understand the need for ads in the free version, but the only reason I need to use this app is to stream one local radio station. I would not mind paying a small fee to upgrade if the app worked, but I am not going to pay for an app that cannot give me a reliable stream to a radio station that’s 2 miles from my home. Please tell me why the stream constantly stops. Please tell me why I need to constantly pause, start, restart, the app and listen to dead silence. I can already do that with a dead phone. Why should I use Simple Radio to do the same thing? I look forward to your response, and potentially using your consistent streaming app in the future..Version: 7.0.0

Ripped me offI paid for a Year subscription and now 2 months later it’s asking me to subscribe and pay again. The app support doesn’t allow for feedback or questions.Version: 7.2.0

Rarely worksSound often cuts out despite solid WiFi connection.Version: 4.2.22

Incapable d’écouter la radio.Avant je pouvais écouter la radio et ouvrir une autre application sur iPad, maintenant c’est impossible. La radio s’éteint donc maintenant j’écoute sur OHdio..Version: 6.1.2

Radio NZThis station keeps on cutting out which is annoying.Version: 5.8.2

What happenedHello, I have had simple radio for about 2 yrs now. up until now the app has been fine, ever since the latest update(either on your end or iPhones updated end)the app WAS great, now every time I have an alarm go off simple radio completely stops playing and DOES NOT start playing again after I turn alarm off(it used to just start playing automatically again) not only that but when I enter simple radio I have to switch stations and switch back to the one I was listening too in order for it to continue playing. Also, on the lock screen there used to be the play/pause button as well as next station, that no longer exists(I now have to unlock phone and go into simple radio for everything). I don’t know what the hell happened, but the interface for simple radio is completely jacked now..Version: 4.5.0

AnnoyingThe app works well but the adds have moved the x to close them to a spot in the top left corner that won’t work most of the time. So fed up with having to restart app to change Chanel’s. Please add close button next to open This is still a problem. Is it that difficult to move the x down a little bit..Version: 5.7.2

Captain cGot the free app and was disappointed. The way they display the ads is what ticks me off. With my car radio not working, I'm using this app. As you're listening, out of the blue it cuts off. So I reach for the phone and what's there? An ad. So you click the "X", or the "no thanks" to close the ad and continue listening, 10 minutes later, repeat... Very annoying when trying to drive and have to close all the ads just to listen to this app. In an hour drive this happens 3 to 5 times, always right before the part you want to hear it seems. Other apps the ads are there, but doesn't cut off what you are listening to just so you will acknowledge the ad! I'm deleting this one. It's not a "hands free" while driving friendly app. Someone is going to crash their car while acknowledging the ads..Version: 4.2.11

Hard to cancelSpent so much time trying to cancel the FREE 7 day trial. Part of their plan to trap you. Still haven’t found how to cancel. Google search didn’t help..Version: 7.6.0

Development ideas...App seemed fine in the five minutes (or less) I had it on my phone. Didn’t bother to keep it as it doesn’t have any but like 3 local channels. I would’ve thought about keeping it had it had 104.1 on in NE Ohio. Also, the UI was funky on my phone (iPhone XR). The three tabs on the bottom were squished for some reason. And the search results could be organized better. It’s annoying to look through the whole list to see if a local station is there if there isn’t a way for it to be organized. Didn’t notice any ads as other people complained about, but that’s probably because I only had it for a few minutes..Version: 4.4.6

Bad with non stop advertisingGood but gone bad and absolutely annoying with non stop advertisements that cut the music, can’t even listen and close the iPad screen which was possible before..Version: 7.0.0

George FM New Zealand stopped workingRecently my favourite station stopped playing and every time I select it, the app crashes. The support website advises to fill out a “form”, the form is not there..Version: 4.2.19

It is simple but reliable it isn’t.I have tried to use this app via apple car play since it is supported , however it can take up to two or thee minutes to find and play streams when on cell data which makes it pretty useless. Even on WiFi stream playback is often interrupted and eventually dropped since there seems to be no auto resume function. Had expected more from a paid for app..Version: 4.3.3

Why still ads?I am a paying subscriber. I joined on the promise, as I understood it, that this paid membership would eliminate the ads ADDED by Simple Radio. But those ads still come in. Here is a scenario. I am listening to a talk show on my car radio. I arrive at my destination. To keep listening as I exit the car I launch the Simple Radio app tuned to the same radio station. I don't want to miss a word. But Simple Radio plays an ad first - an ad not playing on the car radio. I know this ad is not from the broadcast radio station because when the ad ends the talk show comes in mid-sentence. I tried to contact Simple Radio with this complaint but I couldn't get past their defenses against contact with an actual human..Version: 6.7.0

No option for similar recommendationsFails to.Version: 6.1.2

George FM StationIt won’t play George FM station???.Version: 4.2.23

Doesn’t really broadcast what the station broadcastsSo I very much like this app for when I want to listen to music, but all too often I find that when there is a commercial break, the app broadcasts its own adds. This wouldn’t normally be a problem, but whenever I open the app, it takes the liberty of playing an ad segment, and then cuts into the middle of a song that was already playing during this so called commercial break. Another big disappointment is that if I want to tune into a baseball game on the radio, the app won’t be broadcast the game that I know is playing on that station. It just plays music that would normally be on the station. I understand that this would likely require extra deals with radio stations, but all I’m saying is that this app is not so versatile, and it doesn’t really do its job well. And if this bad review gets deleted again, I’ll be upset..Version: 4.4.0

Record?Reading reviews I felt excited about ability to record but having paid for ‘unlock everything’ I can’t see it anywhere. Real shame. I was really looking forward to be able to record. It seems that this function is gone. Otherwise really good radio app. Year or so later: I found myself using it all the time. I’m missing it on Apple TV.Version: 4.11.0

MeKeeps switching off.Version: 4.2.22

Slow and buggyTakes a long time to connect and looses sugnal.Version: 6.1.2

App lost the ability to run in the backgroundI have been using this app for a while now, and I like it that I can listen to music around the world on it. Another reason I like is because I can play this app on the background while I browse the net or facebook. I also often lets music play on this app while I work. Today, it lost this capability. If i let my ipad idle and the screen goes black, the music shuts off; or if I use another app, the music also shuts off. This app demands the screen to be on all the time to work, which destroys the purpose of "radio" for me. I guess it is time to go back to Pandora or find another radio app. It is a pity since I really like this app..Version: 4.2.24

Radio not workingIt won’t even open, just a waste.Version: 7.9.0

Simple Radio won’t turn off when you want it offSimple Radio works fine when you want it but it tends to burs into life unexpectedly when you thought you’d closed the app. Do you suddenly find there’s a radio coming out of your bag at inappropriate moments. Also, if you’re using Apple Play for sat nav guidance in your car, it takes priority over the car radio. It isn’t as reliable as the DAB car radio it’s replaced. I couldn’t find a way to make it stay asleep unless I actually wanted to use it so I deleted it from my iPhone..Version: 4.9.0

Great IF NOT DRIVINGThis is my goto radio app and I tell everyone about it. I can only give it 3 stars because it does not automatically reconnect to cell towers while driving. I always have to play with changing the channel I am listening to and go back to what I am listening to in order for it to reconnect OR I have to close the app and reopen the app to get it to reconnect. I commented on this over a year ago. The problem remains. If they can finally resolve this issue, I will give it 5 stars. What I like most about this app is that they don’t censor Infowars and they don’t make me set up a profile to profile me based on what I listen to. UPDATE: 7-8-22. I use Simple Radio on the iPhone 6 version of the global track and trace devices that THEM in charge of the New Liberal Normal have conditioned US to pay for and pay for upgrading. Since the latest version, the inability to reconnect during tower changes while driving is worse AND it now stops playing quite often while on home WI-FI, which this app never did before, as if it’s caching the stream. I pay for 600MBps down and 20 MBps up. That shouldn’t be happening on my home Wi-Fi..Version: 6.1.7

With respect:I appreciate this app, but it does have things that are really annoying. I understand the need for ads, if we don’t want to pay the membership fee. But, if I reject an ad from Facebook, Audible, etc., I have to continue to reject it multiple times in one single program, for days or even weeks. Evidently they just don’t get it: I’m not interested in that product. Furthermore, because of their badgering, I am more determined that I will never be interested. On another issue, The signal keeps dropping out constantly, and will not automatically reset. I have to go into the phone and re-start it every couple minutes. Literally — every couple minutes. It doesn’t matter what Wi-Fi I use at home or at work. We have a lot of high quality Wi-Fi, and my Wi-Fi at home is very good too. I end up having to use data on two new smart phones. Thank you for making this available, but a lot of times I think about switching to some other app..Version: 4.2.15

Paid for this.....Music stops after every while.Version: 4.3.3

Not what it use to beNot as reliable as it used to be. Keeps dropping out. Too many commercials Use to play in background. Not now..Version: 7.2.0

Keeps glitching and cutting outSuper frustrating.Version: 4.5.0

Dropped FeedEvery few days, stops after after 10-20 seconds. After reengaging, happens again. So I stop listening/using. Ok today!.Version: 6.1.2

It was greatNo longer simple. The free app no longer plays when app is not displayed on the screen. Also now stops playing if the screen is not on (burning through your battery) showing add. Both issues can be fixed by paying their subscription. There are still breaks (disconnects) in music play back even with paying and commercials. Further disappointment in undocumented fact that each on my devices have to pay subscription. Looking for replacement app. Response to developer: I have been using app for weeks at a time for 6 months. The app did work without any issues AND NO subscription. The prior versions played with screen off and if I used another app. I have only updated app and NOT iOS. The subscription does seem to work across multiple iOS devices but app still shows incorrectly that it wants you to subscribe..Version: 6.2.1

KenBeen using this for a long time with good music listening to the NZ station The Breese. Now once I select the station an advert appears turning to a blank screen. When ever I want to use it now I delete the App and reload. Getting sick of it, the App is obviously not being monitored and maintained..Version: 4.5.0

Battery hog.This app keeps on killing my battery -- per my battery usage in iOS settings. It's worse than Instagram or Facebook!!! If this keeps on happening I'll be uninstalling this app and never using it again at this had happened before over a year ago and the developer allegedly addressed the issue. Response to developer regarding video ads interrupting live audio stream and asking for example: Play a WhatsApp voice note as the simple radio stream doesn't replay automatically after the video ad unless you switch back to the simple radio app and interfere which is very annoying abd not the typical behavior of other streaming apps. Please test and fix VIDEO ADS Please get rid of the annoying ads interrupting VIDEO ads. They interrupt live music streams FIXED 6.1.3 update is messed up. With this updates the app doesn't open, crashes immediately. iOS 15.5.Version: 7.2.0

Has to improve the feedVery great app, a LOT of stations avalaible. I noticed a problem when the wifi connection is too weak and my iPhone switches to LTE ; the feed stops. Same thing when wifi comes back..Version: 4.2.6
