Waking up to the radio
16/04/2018
AjJohnston
Love this app as I can wake up to the radio, but...it would be good if it remembered the time you saved as the alarm time instead of setting to 7AM everyday, if the screen was darker when set to alarm mode (I have my phone on its back so it can charge on a wireless charger and I can’t flip it screen down) and if it remembered the radio station you set to wake up to from last time. Aside from that I don’t really use it (I’ll do what I can to avoid ads so I don’t tend to listen to the radio) so can’t rate any other aspect. Would just love to see the alarm function improved a bit.

I used to love this app as I find it great to listen to my fav radio station no matter where I am but the reliability of it is becoming less n less over the last 6mths or so with continually dropping out, sometimes several times in just 1hr! It used to happen sometimes but not to the point where I had to stop what I was doing to sort it out. I’m glad I’m not the only one that experiences this! It continually drops out mid song/conversation (especially extremely irritating when I’m trying to listen to the news). My internet connection is perfectly strong as everything else that I use over wifi works perfectly well without any problems. All my updates for this app are completely up to date as well. This happens both on my phone and my iPad. It is extremely frustrating and irritating having to come to my device from another room to try n stop n start it again! The only reason I’m not giving it 1 star is because I know how good it used to be before all of this unreliability! PLEASE sort it out cause my patience will eventually run out completely n I’ll go n find something else more reliable. Seems to be a common theme throughout these reviews.....

Pros and cons
31/01/2018
Hautai
I've been on this app for over a year maybe 2-3 and it hasn't improved by resolving it's ongoing issues. I've had enough with the technical issues that are chewing up my time which I value, so I'm deleting the app after this review and getting a better one that doesn't waste my time and does its job. Here's a bit of a break down of pros and cons.Pros:can have a favourites station with all your thumbs up songs and suggested songs, you can skip songs, you can down thumb sings so they don't play again, you can access stations from overseas.Cons: -sometimes won't play and will just buffer even with good reception and when other apps and sounds from the net play it won't on this app at times which leads to Wastes time like today pausing and playing, closing then re-opening the app to try get it to fully load the song and play.- some radio stations only for American citizens e.g. Disney radio.- doesn't keep your thumbs up list so they remain in your favourites. It undoes them.So long iHeart Radio, I'm off to use an app that will actually do what it's meant to: play music when you push play/open it.
