User Reviews

Users appreciate the app for letting them enjoy Hitradio Ö3 and stay connected through music. However, multiple reviews express dissatisfaction with frequent streaming interruptions, poor app usability after updates, and missing features such as live song display and Chromecast support. Battery drain and alarm volume control issues also affect user experience.

Pros

The app provides access to a popular and enjoyable radio station.
Good for music enjoyment and discovery.

Cons

Streaming frequently interrupts or stops after a few minutes, causing frustration for users.
The app's interface is confusing and less user-friendly compared to previous versions.
Lack of features like multiple alarms, widgets, and Google Chromecast support.
No live display of currently playing songs, only past songs are shown, and this feature is unreliable.
Background streaming drains battery excessively if the app is not properly closed.

24.1.24: Hallo liebes Ö3 Team. Die App zeigt die Life gespielten Songnamen nicht an. Ich sehe nur die vergangenen Namen wenn ich auf Start drücke. Früher ging das Problem mit Neustarten weg, das funktioniert derzeit nicht. Danke für eure tägliche Arbeit. 💐

Ist ganz nett, problematisch ist, dass die Pause beim Umschalten von WLAN auf Mobilnetz ziemlich lange dauert. Manchmal muss ich den Stream von Hand neu starten. Das kann TuneIn z.B. viel besser. Ärgerlich ist hingegen, dass die App im Hintergrund meine Batterie leernuckelt, wenn ich sie nach Gebrauch nicht abschiesse.
