User Reviews

User reviews highlight Radio Farda’s app as a strong, multi-language news source with easy navigation and a modern interface. The service is praised for reliable, balanced reporting and rich content including breaking news, photos, and podcasts. However, several recurring issues affect satisfaction: stability problems (crashes), regressions after updates (loss of features, poor UI changes), and frequent streaming/audio playback glitches (no sound, overlaps). Some users also find the post-update UI confusing. Widget support is notably requested but not widely available.

Pros

Extensive language support and customization options.
Reliable, balanced news coverage.
Easy to use with a modern interface.
Rich content including breaking news, photos, and podcasts.

Cons

Stability issues: frequent crashes or freezes on startup/navigation.
Update-induced regressions: major updates degrade usability and remove features.
Streaming and audio playback problems: no sound, pauses, or overlapping audio.
Post-update UI changes can be confusing and reduce usability.

I have had the Farsi language version of this app for almost 9 years now. Although their news regarding Iranian events is somehow good and they don’t take sides, but their U.S. News is almost %90 effected by their viewpoint of liberal Democrats. News should be independent to be trustworthy aside from any political viewpoints. Not a good practice.
