User Reviews

FStream offers broad streaming format support, easy URL-based streaming, and a simple, open-source footprint that many users value. It remains a reliable choice for those who want versatility and minimal fuss. However, its aging software footprint shows up as outdated UI and limited updates, plus occasional buffering or connection issues and missing modern features like Chromecast or AirDrop. If you prioritize format breadth and an open-source legacy, it’s solid; otherwise you may want a more actively maintained player.
Pros
  • Broad format support with auto-detection across many codecs (e.g., Vorbis, WMA, AAC/MP3).
  • Easy to add streams and manage them via URL-based playback with a clean interface.
  • Clean, simple, lightweight user interface that stays out of the way.
  • Open-source project with a long-running history appreciated by users.
Cons
  • Not updated for modern iOS versions; long-standing compatibility concerns and potential OS-related issues.
  • Occasional buffering and connectivity problems; streams may need restarting or may fail to connect.
  • Lacks modern features (no Chromecast or AirDrop support).
  • Dated UI appearance and lack of active development can make the app feel obsolete.

This is the only iOS app that supports icecast streams that are protected with a user name and password! Works great, and title streaming works well, too.

Fstream still working in iOS 17! The interface is dated, but so is listening to radio streams. Thanks to the developer for building a solid app with the feature not found elsewhere in streaming client apps.
