## Review summary

Reviews praise Broadcasts as a simple, reliable, ad-free radio with broad station selection, customization, and strong CarPlay/multi-platform support, plus a favorable one-time purchase. Common concerns center on CarPlay interruptions (reverb/scrambled audio), AirPlay playback/volume issues, missing in-app track info, and free-version limits (saved stations and adding custom stations). Overall, it’s seen as a solid value with some feature gaps and occasional playback hiccups.

### Pros

- CarPlay and cross-platform support with device syncing across iOS, macOS and Apple TV.
- Customizable: add your own stations, organize into folders, and customize station art.
- Affordable one-time purchase with an ad-free experience.

### Cons

- CarPlay interruptions after stopping playback (reverb or scrambled audio after calls/navigation).
- Free version limits (only a few saved stations) and push to upgrade for custom stations and full features.
- AirPlay-related playback issues (some streams go silent or have volume/controls problems, including macOS volume slider issues).
- Missing in-app track information (no current track display for streams).
