User Reviews

SomaFM Radio Player delivers ad-free, diverse streaming with a trusted, easy-to-use interface and broad platform support. Users praise its large station catalog and independence from ads, with donations optional. However, several reviews echo stability and playback issues on newer iOS versions, including UI glitches, reordering favorites, and occasional buffering, plus occasional AirPlay/casting reliability problems. Overall strong for fans of SomaFM who want a clean, ad-free listening experience across devices, but expect occasional stability bugs on recent iOS builds.

Pros

Ad-free listening with no interruptions.
Huge variety of stations and genres.
Long-standing, reliable app that Just Works with a calm, intuitive UI.
Cross-platform support (iOS, macOS, tvOS) and solid multi-device play (AirPlay, TuneIn, Alexa).
Free to use with optional donations to support development.

Cons

Bugs and instability on newer iOS versions, including control-center issues, favorites reordering failures, and intermittent buffering.
AirPlay/casting reliability problems (connects but has difficulty loading stations).
UI rendering glitches and playback interruptions, especially when the app is backgrounded or after updates.
Architecture quirks (web view frame) that can hinder background playback and overall stability.

Recent reviews

The new version is a modern rewrite that works great on iOS 26. The UI feels more seamless and responsive. The playback experience has stayed great as well. For over 20 years, I’m still jamming to Groove Salad and all the other channels. Keep up the good work!
