User Reviews for Simple Radio – Live AM FM App

Reliable performance and good selection

This is a very good app for people who like to listen to actual radio stations from around the world. The selection of stations is very broad and the performance is reliable with zero crashes so far (unlike a competitor app). Why not a 5 star rating? 1.) No podcasts. 2.) Certain big-time stations (like 890 WLS) are not available (maybe a conflict with iHeart?). 3.) Annoying ads that pop up at the beginning of most streams, but they're easy enough to close and I realize they have to get revenue from somewhere. 4.) Some of the streams don't have the best audio quality, but they're still quite listenable for those of us used to the quality of actual AM radio. 5.) Some of the streams just don't work. Not sure why. But, all in all, still a pretty good app.

It was great

No longer simple. The free app no longer plays when app is not displayed on the screen. Also now stops playing if the screen is not on (burning through your battery) showing add. Both issues can be fixed by paying their subscription. There are still breaks (disconnects) in music play back even with paying and commercials. Further disappointment in undocumented fact that each on my devices have to pay subscription. Looking for replacement app.Response to developer: I have been using app for weeks at a time for 6 months. The app did work without any issues AND NO subscription. The prior versions played with screen off and if I used another app. I have only updated app and NOT iOS. The subscription does seem to work across multiple iOS devices but app still shows incorrectly that it wants you to subscribe.

With respect:

I appreciate this app, but it does have things that are really annoying. I understand the need for ads, if we don’t want to pay the membership fee. But, if I reject an ad from Facebook, Audible, etc., I have to continue to reject it multiple times in one single program, for days or even weeks. Evidently they just don’t get it: I’m not interested in that product. Furthermore, because of their badgering, I am more determined that I will never be interested. On another issue, The signal keeps dropping out constantly, and will not automatically reset. I have to go into the phone and re-start it every couple minutes. Literally — every couple minutes. It doesn’t matter what Wi-Fi I use at home or at work. We have a lot of high quality Wi-Fi, and my Wi-Fi at home is very good too.I end up having to use data on two new smart phones. Thank you for making this available, but a lot of times I think about switching to some other app.

Great, except

I paid to get rid of the ads. That was well worth the price. The only problem I have with it is that if it loses connection while driving it doesn’t reconnect on its own. This can be dangerous. The reason I decided to write my review is I am using the app right now in my room and I dropped my phone. The app stopped playing as it should because my earbuds came unplugged. Once I plugged in my earbuds one would think I could just hit play on the front screen but I had to unlock the phone and close the app and reopen the app to get it to resume playing. This is the same thing that happens if I lose signal while driving. The app won’t just reconnect on its own once the LTE signal resumes. I have to unlock the phone and close and reopen the app for playing to resume.

Great IF NOT DRIVING

This is my goto radio app and I tell everyone about it. I can only give it 3 stars because it does not automatically reconnect to cell towers while driving. I always have to play with changing the channel I am listening to and go back to what I am listening to in order for it to reconnect OR I have to close the app and reopen the app to get it to reconnect. I commented on this over a year ago. The problem remains. If they can finally resolve this issue, I will give it 5 stars. What I like most about this app is that they don’t censor Infowars and they don’t make me set up a profile to profile me based on what I listen to. UPDATE: 7-8-22. I use Simple Radio on the iPhone 6 version of the global track and trace devices that THEM in charge of the New Liberal Normal have conditioned US to pay for and pay for upgrading. Since the latest version, the inability to reconnect during tower changes while driving is worse AND it now stops playing quite often while on home WI-FI, which this app never did before, as if it’s caching the stream. I pay for 600MBps down and 20 MBps up. That shouldn’t be happening on my home Wi-Fi.

What happened

Hello, I have had simple radio for about 2 yrs now. up until now the app has been fine, ever since the latest update(either on your end or iPhones updated end)the app WAS great, now every time I have an alarm go off simple radio completely stops playing and DOES NOT start playing again after I turn alarm off(it used to just start playing automatically again) not only that but when I enter simple radio I have to switch stations and switch back to the one I was listening too in order for it to continue playing. Also, on the lock screen there used to be the play/pause button as well as next station, that no longer exists(I now have to unlock phone and go into simple radio for everything). I don’t know what the hell happened, but the interface for simple radio is completely jacked now.

Alarm please!!!

Unless you just need a bedtime timer to shut the thing off stick with the free version. The ads aren't really that big of deal. I bought the app, $3.99, stupidly thinking that "timer" meant alarm. Wrong. You are basically paying for no ads and a bedtime shutoff timer. Where's the alarm? Was hoping to can my bedside alarm clock for this app. Urghhh. I'm going to look for an app that does what this app does but has an alarm. Sound quality is great. Never lost a station. The app even cast to my Google home easily. Felt the app was a little limited on local stations but I found every station in the Dallas area that I listen to 95% of the time. Did I mention the app has no alarm!?!Below is the developers reply. Thank you. After reading I’ve found out that an alarm won’t do much since Apple has not opened the alarm app to developers. This may or may not be true. Is so the feature is useless as I discovered from another app. Used the app all day never lost signal with station. Easy to use and loving it more each day. Changing star rating from three to four.

Doesn’t really broadcast what the station broadcasts

So I very much like this app for when I want to listen to music, but all too often I find that when there is a commercial break, the app broadcasts its own adds. This wouldn’t normally be a problem, but whenever I open the app, it takes the liberty of playing an ad segment, and then cuts into the middle of a song that was already playing during this so called commercial break. Another big disappointment is that if I want to tune into a baseball game on the radio, the app won’t be broadcast the game that I know is playing on that station. It just plays music that would normally be on the station. I understand that this would likely require extra deals with radio stations, but all I’m saying is that this app is not so versatile, and it doesn’t really do its job well. And if this bad review gets deleted again, I’ll be upset.

New listener

I just discovered Simple Radio and was intrigued, so I downloaded the app. I’m confused about some things; mostly how I’m supposed to be able to access a very large number of different radio stations at any given time. I can currently get about 15, which unfortunately includes 2-3 not available I’d otherwise enjoy, and one of my favorite local ones that for some reason only shows up now and then.I’m very technology challenged, having trouble understanding the terminology and how to use it, so whenever I complain or request an answer to a question, the people I ask must dumb-down/simplify the answer and have patience when they do. I’m referring now to how, in some places in your app, you claim to offer for free lots of stations, but when I try to use Search no new offerings appear. Where’s the choice/variety? I know I have to put up with a lot, like the pop-up ads (even the audible ones, which are a problem to deal with if I’m away from my iPad for a moment) that keep most of Simple Radio free, but this “bait and switch” tactic RE: station offerings shouldn’t be one. So many personally modern choices have been made for us in the name of progress that Simple Radio should live up to its name and let the individual make up his own radio playlist from what’s available. This has been a very long review/question. Thank you for any help you can give as to how I could expand my playlist with stations that are really—and always—available.

Wanted to love it

I hate this app more and more every day. I listen to KTSA pretty much all day, but this makes it hard. It keeps cutting out for no reason, or dumb reasons like adjusting the volume on my iPhone. It also makes multi-tasking difficult. With IHeartRadio I can go into my email, Google, Facebook, etc. and the radio keeps playing as long as I don’t go into a video. This one now cuts out if I just go into Google! It is better now that you don’t have to listen to that annoying Kinetico ad that came on when you opened the app, but it’s annoying that when you tap to open the app you have to wait until an ad comes on screen and you have to then manually close that ad before the radio plays. I guess I’m just so used to things moving rapidly and don’t like that I can’t tap to open and walk away.
