User Reviews

Audials Play on Android is praised for its broad content and easy, clean UI with reliable background playback and Android Auto support. However, users repeatedly complain about intrusive ads and monetization (paywalls for features like recording), banner overlays that block the UI, and streaming instability (hiccups, buffering, drops). Widgets are also cited as underwhelming. Overall, strong content and usability are offset by aggressive ads and reliability frustrations.

Pros

Broad library of radio stations and podcasts
Background playback and embedded player
Android Auto compatibility and casting to speaker groups
Clean, visually appealing UI with album art
Good for casual listening and simple use

Cons

Aggressive monetization with ads and paywalls, including features like recording behind a paywall
Persistent giant banners that cover the screen and are hard to dismiss
Streaming issues such as hiccups, buffering, and drops affecting playback
Widgets and UI customization are limited or unattractive

This has become a scam delivery system. It will present an 'advertisement' that is full screen and appears to be asking you to update the app. The link presented will take you to a total scam app (within a miniature fake google play window) that 'keeps your apps updated' - a function that is already built into your phone by default, and for this superfluous nonsense they charge you. Still able to function somewhat if you are able to sidestep the trickery.

went from great to sucks. the app used to play music. Now it's ad after ad after ad after ad after ad after ad after ad... are you pissed off yet? Also if you set to record and choose ads they play and then you can't get out of them to actually listen and record. THIS APP NOW OFFICIALLY SUCKS AFTER BEING FANTASTIC FOR YEARS!!!! IT SUCKS!!!!!! AUDIALS I don't want your excuse. We know it's because you want money. Unfortunately you screwed it up. I don't think the app will last another year.
