User Reviews

Users consistently praise The River app for on-the-go listening, portability, and background playback. They like that they can see the current song, explore related artists, and stay connected whether at work or traveling. Several reviews welcome an official, direct app instead of third-party options, noting benefits over other apps. The main negative theme is perceived changes in the station’s music style rather than app performance, and there is some skepticism about reliability; overall sentiment is strong and positive about convenience and access to their favorite shows.
Pros
  • Excellent for listening on the go and while traveling.
  • Background playback lets you listen while using other apps or with the phone in your pocket.
  • Shows current song and allows exploring related artists and music.
  • Official direct app for The River, offering easy access without relying on third-party apps (convenience).

Used to be the best radio station. They don’t seem to play the music they used to . It’s a pop station now. Seems like the days of hard rock and metal are not here anymore. Very sad indeed. The River brought me great joy and happiness.

I have good service. When I listen to the station it keeps cutting in and out often. So you miss a lot of what is going on.
