Users appreciate the app's access to live and archived radio programs and bookmarking features. However, many report severe reliability issues like playback stopping abruptly, streaming failures, archive content mix-ups, and poor app stability. Navigation and usability are also criticized, along with missing or broken features such as timers and continuous playback. Overall, while the app serves its content purpose, these consistent technical and usability problems cause frustration among users.

Pros

The app allows bookmarking favorite programs for easy access.
Offers features like a 6-month archive, giving users access to past episodes.

The app frequently stops playback unexpectedly, especially with archived programs.
Archive playback has issues such as incorrect dates, inability to resume where left off, or failure to play same-day content.
Unreliable streaming and frequent crashes or failure to open the app.
User interface is considered unfriendly and navigation between episodes and shows is tricky.
Features like timer function and automatic playlist play are missing or no longer functioning.

Recent reviews

The app does not handle the loss of audio focus in Android, when it loses the audio focus, it can't recover. Secondly, if switching to live while listening to a archive program, the archive program is totally stopped. It should remember the last playback time in the archive, so that it can be resumed if needed.

I used to use the Timer under Settings to play so that I don't have to switch off and fall asleep. However, this function is no longer working ...... so frustrated
