2025-01-27 | 30-second ad every time you pause and unpause music, and then randomly while you are listening, used to be only when you booted up the app | ||
2025-01-22 | Wheb using Bluetooth app will say "locked for your safety" and the player keeps pausing. The only way the player works is if I put something like google maps on that forces the screen to stay on. | ||
2025-01-20 | Had to upgrade from 5.4.420.1 with my new phone but the new version is poor by comparison. The audio stops every minute for 10-40s so it's unlistenable, this is all you need to know. The interface is poor, small icons and slow responses. I can't see how this is an upgrade. | ||
2025-01-16 | Stops me choosing or playing the music as soon as I get into my car. I have to stand out of my car to open the app. Looking for a new app. | ||
2025-01-13 | Dreadful drain on the battery as it keeps running in the background, even after you think you've closed it by swiping it off the lock screen. Stats say it's used 10% of my battery today, despite only listening to the radio for 15 mins. I used to use this app years ago and uninstall for this same reason then, assumed it would have been fixed by now. Uninstalled, again | ||
2025-01-10 | Cast refresh is absolutely shocking. If the player is open OR open in background (which is fine), moving from one cast device to an entirely new building location and resume radio to an entirely different cast device, the cast list still hangs on the previous cast network. You have to force close the app clear cache and relaunch. Very frustrating. | ||
2025-01-08 | I like this app a lot, I use it almost every morning to start my day and listen to the news. Been doing this for many, many years so thank you Radioplayer. | ||
2025-01-05 | Version 8 of this app is terrible. It's so laggy and unresponsive. I hope I can work out a way to go back to the previous version, even if that means risking downloading it from another source. | ||
2025-01-05 | It is a great app, but the latest version is killing the battery, so I have to reduce my star rate. Please fix. | ||
2024-12-28 | For the last 12!! months Every single time I open it it tells me to download the newest version, which I have multiple times. Only way to open it is through the app store after "redownloading". Every time. |
