Top Radio: FM,AM,DAB tuner app 4+

I have been listening to radio podcast for years, but only came to know this app Top Radio a few days ago, and I find it really good: no ads, lots of good stations, I don’t need to search for contents, there’s pretty much good contents, I enjoy Jazz music the most. Highly Recommend!

Dear listener,
Thank you for your review and rating.
Best regards,

I was looking for a radio app that would be clean and simple UI. So I downloaded loaded this app to compare it to one that I’m looking to ditch.

Well within minutes it wouldn’t allow me to store the 3rd radio station. Every time I tried to save the newly station the app would crash.

Before that incident I was on the main/home screen and while my 2nd stored entry was playing I was tapping on a feature and the app crashed.

While these crashes continued and I started the app I would get a full screen advertisement. No big deal, however my stored station was playing in on the background at the same time. Wait it gets better. I tried to click on something and BAM crashed again.

Now through this whole process what was bothering me is I had click on the pause button so I can concentrate on the issues on hand and this thing just starts playing on its own and then again advertisement and again crashes.

I also it would be nice when you are adding new entries that you can some how have the caps automatically cap the first character.

I had found a few more issues. Not sure if anyone else has had the same issues as I did.

Hope it gets fixed as it has a nice and almost clean UI. This app has potential. With all that said I wanted to give this app 2 1/2 stars but thats not possible. Address the bugs and I’m happy to bring it up to possible 5 stars.

Dear user,
We apologise for the bad experience you've encountered due to various crashes. These crashes affected a small rate of devices and we already fixed them in the new version 2.34.
We are happy to invite you to play with the app again and revisit your review.
Thank you for feedback, we are looking forward for an updated feedback. We will update every time the app to match our users expectations.
Thanks for listening Top Radio,
Ana

This app looked promising, but has some major faults. First, I can find no way of searching for specific radio stations. Any radio app that won’t let me search for Shirley and Spinoza is probably going to get deleted. This is a fundamental flaw in any radio app. Second, the category list seems overly fond of religious entries. Even if you search for ‘jazz’, you’ll get religious stations (and we all know jazz is the devil’s music!). And lastly, there seems to be lots of stations that are just unavailable: search for ‘NPR’ or ‘public radio’ and you’ll get precious few stations.

So the abundance of religious stations, the presence of Fox Radio high up in the ‘popular’ listing, and the scarcity of intelligent, eclectic, liberal channels all make me think that, just maybe, the developer of the app has an agenda.

Dear user,
Thank you for your detailed review! It will help us improve our app.
The "Search" box is available on top of the Stations list by swiping or pulling down the list, same like in Mail/Messages app. From the Stations list you can also reveal the "Search" box anytime without scrolling to the top just by touching the Status Bar of your phone.

Stations availability is something we are intensively working on. Unfortunately Shirley and Spinoza are not yet among our stations. The next release will bring a lot new features and stations. The stations list is automatically ordered by popularity. Our main focus was the battery consumption. We hope you are enjoying all our features and keep supporting us.
