Radio Shorties 12+

It works but the UI seems a bit sloppy

Does what it says but you have to program it to know the voice command. I don’t see the reason for a continuing subscription when the user sets the commands. The radio stations themselves are all over the map on their graphics/logo, giving a cheap and insecure feeling. I asked myself if KEXP was right since the logo looks worse than I can describe.

There are sometimes different versions of the same station, typically different bit rates. The app doesn’t explain this, lending to more confusion and insecurity about selecting a radio station. Otherwise, it does appear to be the only show in town that plays radio stations on my HomePod.

Works great

I can say hey Siri play iHeartRadio Christmas and it plays in my HomePod.
Only wish we could add more stations.

Updated: Great idea and now works fine

I initially gave this a one star review because when I tried to actually use it with my iPhone X and HomePod, Siri would only respond that “there was a problem with the app,” and the app didn’t show up as a Shortcut compatible app in Siri preferences. But now it works fine and I can use Siri shortcuts to start playback of streaming radio on my HomePod, which was exactly what I was looking for, as none of the other big radio streaming apps other than Receiver support Siri shortcuts. So, thanks for fixing the issues and thanks for making the app.
