User Reviews

Users praise the app for a broad, multilingual radio/music library and generally easy listening, but frequently report stability and streaming reliability problems, DRM access blocks, and several UX gaps that hamper live viewing and channel navigation. Content quality is strong on SRF channels, but reliability and feature parity need improvements.

Pros

Extensive selection of SRF radio channels with multilingual music content (German, Swiss German, French, English, Spanish).
Easy-to-use interface for radio listening.
High-quality, diverse SRF programming and music on select channels (e.g., SRF 3, Radio Swiss Jazz).
Some reports of excellent audio quality on certain channels and minimal ads.

Cons

Instability and crashes during live streaming and general use, including updates causing black screens or unusable states.
Poor streaming quality and playback issues (video quality limited to 720p despite 1080p availability, lagging subtitles, unresponsive or malfunctioning remote controls).
DRM/proxy/VPN-related access blocks that prevent watching content (DRM errors on mobile data; app misdetecting VPN/proxy).
UX and feature gaps (cannot restart live broadcasts, playback speed resets, missing date/time metadata; limited language/audio options; channel navigation limitations).

Immer bei Penalties (WM 2022) unterbrach der live Stream auf die App. Offenbar zuviele Zuschauer und schlechtes load balancing auf der Server Seite. Enttäuschend. 4 Jahre später: streaming unterbricht alle 3 Minuten 👎😱
