Looks great, needs improvement in car

The app looks great but needs some improvement when used as a background in-car radio:
1. I have my car connected via Bluetooth. Sometimes, when I start the car, the app will start playing, but more often not. The needed functionality is seemingly there, but not always working.
2. When I pass tunnels or other regions with sketchy reception, the app stops playing, but it’s not resuming when I get the signal back. There’s a need to restart the audio (while driving). This is different from a regular radio that won’t naturally work in tunnels, but always resumes when in surface.
3. There’s a dialog box “can’t play that station” that is most definitely can’t be seen when the app is in the background (when e.g. navigation in foreground).
4. Sometimes I leave the car when the radio is not playing (stopped by itself) and walk 20 meters away. When I return (Bluetooth established) the app starts playing again.
5. The car “play” button sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t. At times I can hear the chimes (great idea btw) but when I bring the app in the foreground it’s not trying to connect, as the play button is tappable.

Edit: thanks for your response, but my car is not equipped with Apple CarPlay.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for the great feedback, we really appreciate it. Some of these issues can most likely be improved but some are due to bugs or deficiencies in CarPlay itself unfortunately. Apple's grip on what we as developers can do in CarPlay is super tight and restrictive. We'll keep trying to improve things there as much as we can however. Appreciate you taking the time to leave your review and for your rating. Enjoy!

The Best No-Nonsense Streaming Radio App

There are *so many* streaming radio apps out there. Some are tied to a particular service or broadcaster (Audacy, TuneIn, I Heart Radio, Sirius XM, etc.) But none of them are built to put your interests first, except Triode. It has the best directory of stations, the best stock favorites list, and the best developers behind it – a team with a long track-record of making first class, user-centered software. As a life-long fan of broadcast radio, especially AM and shortwave, it can sometimes feel like my listening options are shrinking. But online streaming is going strong, and a world of amazing stations are just waiting to be found in Triode. If I had one wish for the app, as ridiculous as it sounds, I love the option to introduce some user-configurable artificial static or warble into the output. Download this app, and once you’ve sat with it a bit, buy it. Solid software built for you, not data brokers, is far too rare in iOS-land. This is it.

Best of the bunch

I came back to Triode after trying other options. I still think it’s the best option, but I can’t figure a few things … when I previously used this app (I had paid for it three years in a row), I could see the artist, album art, track for every song for FIP Monde, which I listen to almost all the time. When I came back to Triode recently and purchased the ‘forever’ option, I no longer see this info. I just get the generic FIP Monde art and have to tap on Shazam to ID the song. It shows up briefly on the screen, then disappears. Did something change to make this not possible? I also use to see a + button to quickly add a track to Apple Music, but I no longer see that, either. I’m thinking I must be missing something, but checking the support I don’t see how to fix this. Still, great app. The buffering is superior to other apps I’ve tried, so it doesn’t drop out as often in CarPlay, it seems to me.

Developer Response ,

FIP recently updated where they put the track & artist info. We updated our database and the app will pick it up automatically in a few days. You can also use Refresh iCloud Data in settings to get the update immediately. Thanks also for the kind words!
