AccuRadio: Curated Music Radio 12+

I absolutely love this app. I used to have Pandora and was glad to remove it when I learned about AccuRadio. However, one of the things that annoys me is that I like to select channels as my favorites and I like them organized. The app doesn’t allow me to organize without turning on a song which I’m sure they would appreciate we didn’t do because of royalty fees. I’d like to be able to organize my channels without having to turn on the song.

Also there isn’t any way to give feedback or make general comments to somebody if you have a suggestion or a comment to make. I know their website indicates that they do but I’ve never ever received a response. And so for that I only had to give it four stars. Plus a paid option would be nice too.

An example for suggestion would be: have you ever considered putting children’s music on? When I have children in my car—and that’s a lot of times—I would like to put children’s music, you know, for little kids that would be a great way to entertain them on long drives.

Also, I have to give prop for all the foreign language music. Thank you for opening up my mind and heart to new cultures! 🥰

I just deleted the app after being a faithful AccuRadio user for years. I actually don’t know how long it’s been but definitely before Windows 7 and the iPhone 6. I understand free always comes with a price and ads are the price you pay for using “free” AccuRadio but the the incessant ads have gotten out of control with over a dozen Purple Mattress ads an hour with a handful of Geico ads is too much. I’d be willing to pay for AccuRadio but apparently they’re happy force feeding me their advertising but I’ve gotten up from the table. Are they really that stupid that they think people are gonna rush out and buy something they’ve gotten nauseated hearing about? Costco had a Purple Mattress promo and the sales rep asked if I’d like to feel the most amazing mattress ever. I said I’d no never! Thanks to their ads on AccuRadio I’d sleep on the cold rocky ground before I’d ever allow one of those things in my home even if it were free. Then she grimaced and said, I hear about the AccuRadio ads all the time.

Been a faithful listener ever since radio365 got forced out and recommended this app. Been loving this app until this recent update. Now I’m sorry I updated the app, but it started “hanging” and failing to load. Ads used to appear now and then, one at a time, in between the music. No problem. Throw one in now and then, not so bad. I detest ads but understand the need for ads.
Now, the update has crammed a whole load of ads upfront on each channel, shoves them at you all at once, and if you think it’s just a one-time indignity when the app starts, switch channels and you get served that insult all over again; the experience is not quite as annoying as a sharp stick in the ear, but close. Ads have become in-yer-face rude, intrusive. Sadly, the ads are going to be the reason I dump this app. 😕
