App works exactly as you expect it to - just great vibes and the absolutel TOP quality in music selection, 24/7. I have spent many memorable nights programming or just wasting time online while listening. Personally I love the CliqHop station but it's honestly hard to pick just one favorite. My favorite thing to have happened that I can't resist commenting about in this review: I once emailed the DJ (Rusty) and inquired about some super obscure artist that I was absolutely vibing to late one night - I was very pleasantly surprised that I got a reply within 12 hours, complete with an awesome story about the artist I was asking about. Even since then, I have randomly replied to some of the "newsletter" contact emails that come through once in a while, and it's really awesome to know that a real human is out there putting out carefully curated music radio - for free! - and those interactions are valuable, so thankyou for truly keeping it real, SomaFM & Rusty! You are all great & I hope you know how appreciative some of us (all of us?) are!Anyway to those reading this, download the app & find a vibe if you are undecided!! Above and beyond. Cheers!

Been listening for well over a decade now, all variety of tunes, including fantastic holiday radio options. Not all stations are for kids so don't recommend letting little-ones expplore freely, but there are some family friendly stations in the lineup. This is the one streaming radio option i can rely on!!

It’s hard to say enough about the quality of music Soma plays. You can tell the DJs are passionate about what they do; each station obviously has a lot of thought and care put into the song selection. This aren’t some auto-pilot streams; these are well-crafted playlists (and you won’t find anything as fun as Secret Agent or Illinois Street Lounge anywhere else).There’s one small problem with the app: it doesn’t respond to the play/pause media controls on the Mac keyboard. I’m hardwired to hit these buttons several times a day after years of listening to other music apps on my Mac, but each time I do, it launches iTunes, which I then immediately have to close out of. So it’s a bit of an annoying problem. I understand this may be intentional: the developers note that you can listen to the app in the background while also navigating an audiobook in iTunes, for example. But I’d really rather have the use of the play/pause button; maybe a setting under Controls in the menu bar to enable or disable this functionality would be the best solution.But don’t let this small issue stop you from downloading this app and supporting the cool people at Soma!

Firstly, this is a great running app, quick, responsive, and utterly reliable. Great work to the developers and team behind it. However... the music has recently become quite irritating to listen to for any length of time. Now, this isn't necessarily Soma's fault, but since they are human curated stations, they could do a better job. I realize that it's hard to keep content fresh and relevant to their stations, but the recent trend of the "voiceover" lyric needs to stop - and the programmers need to cull these out of the playlists. You know the ones... usually some inane pseudointellectual nonsense or newage self-help babble. It's just stupid and unlistenable. I know many others who have turned off Soma because of this but just speaking for myself... you've lost a subscriber. Soma used to rock and can do better but not at the moment...
