Has potential but missing some key features. Stations are not grouped by genre which makes browsing difficult. I can only access 4 presents in Car Mode which is not very useful. One big omission is the lack of voice commands and Google Now/Assistant support. With iHeartRadio USA (Clear Channel app, not Bell Canada) I can say "OK Google, play WKTU in iHeartRadio." That app opens and station starts streaming. This is very useful when driving since most states and provinces have distracted driving laws. Check out the iHeartRadio USA app and you'll see there's a big gap in your feature set. Looking forward to future updates.

While the radio and stations seem good, my issue is with the alarm feature. I like to wake up to the radio playing and this app seemed perfect for that except that you can't have a repeating alarm. You have to remember to turn it back on every day. Other than that, I think I would give this app 5 stars.

I love having my favourite radio stations... from all across this beautiful nation 🇨🇦 of ours... All of which I have loved & adored through the years of life and travels... Be so easily accessible at any time of day or according to my mood... And from ANYHERE!! 💖 I am totally recommending! 👌Please add more features to allow listeners to interact with individual radio stations and receive feedback from listeners! This is just the tip of the iceberg for the potential in this app! 👌

Still new to this app but kept getting prompted to give a review every time I open the app. I love how I can stream radio stations but the search feature was a bit lacking. Haven't used anything else yet so I can't comment further.

I moved out of province a few years ago and have been missing my favorite radio channel. This is great. Also, had it playing in my rig for over 9 hours, only used 275Mb

Living in the country means radio antenna reception is mediocre most of the time. Having radio on the Web gives us perfect reception... as long as Internet works. Just wish more local stations were on the app, such as from Perth and Renfrew (Ontario). Also, having "genre" search option would be nice. But overall, it is a wonderful way to get the radio!

Doesn't work! Keep getting network error when starting the app My device has a wired LAN connection and everything on it has proper internet access. Looks to me that this was released prematurely. Going back to my separate radio station apps... they work just fine!

Brian O March 4, 2017

Nice concept but missing some key features and buggy. No way to sort by station format/genre so quite annoying trying to find what I like to listen to. Location does not work so it won't list the station s local to me. And yes my location sharing is turned on. Location started working after several tries. Volume levels of stations varies widely. They should be similar so when you switch stations it's not unexpectedly blasting or super quiet. Example: CKNW is quiet and 102.7 The Peak is loud.

Joe Tracey March 21, 2017

I really do like this app as it does have a lot of good stations on it but it could use more as it does not have some I listen to. It also seems some of the staions are so quite you can barley hear them. I love the favorites aspect of this app as i feel its one of the few to have that. But get more stations and fix the sound problem and it would be a 5 start app

Alan de Matos May 20, 2017

Would be great if it weren't for some unexpected stations opening up websites, which are difficult to exit without them re-opening. That feels very spammy. Would be nice if you could sort by number, not station name, or by genre or location. Once the main bug gets fixed, I'll revise to 4 stars. Once sorting gets fixed, it'll be a 5 star app!

Love to be able to take my Bluetooth speaker outside without having to find an extension cord and a radio. This station and others plays off my tablet for hours, no static it's awesome.

Susan Kraan March 1, 2017

Have been using the TuneInRadio app for about six weeks now and was quite satisfied. This morning I heard about Radio Player Canada and decided to give it a try. The second station I tried to connect to ( CJRT Jazz FM 91.1 ) was not on the list. When I attempted to use the "send feedback" feature, it didn't work. I will likely just return to using TuneInRadio as it meets my needs.

Shawn Boivin June 6, 2017

Horribly slow and glitchy. Simply frustrating given how they hype this app. TUNE IN RADIO PLAYER app is far superior and I will stick with it till I see better.

David Lebrun April 24, 2017

D/L it, open it, it works! No weird lag like "Iheart radio" that makes you think "what is this app doing?" Keeping it simple is what I like.

Barry Zeitz March 12, 2017

The app is good overall however the volume fluctuates too much. Show hosts come in nice and loud but the music is muted quite a bit. Have to keep the volume in the truck up to about 50% for the music and then get deafened when a show host comes on.

Al Naz March 5, 2017

So so app. Would be better if the search feature worked. Location is hit and miss. No option to use tuner to adjust treb or bas. And finally no news or music search. Pretty much hope to find it on the list or no dice.

Denis Vaillancourt April 12, 2017

Nice app, delivers good quality sound. The buffering gets annoying but that is the same on all radio apps. Please add Ottawa 1200 for sports.

Sharon Harder April 13, 2017

Great app! Gives me all the radio stations I have come to love after years of travelling across the country and works great! Love it!

John Rad March 1, 2017

Fast connection required. Favorite heart icon button too small. Very good local station selection. My score 4 due to Bandwidth required, tried on a dsl and service was poor and broken up on audio. Tried again on Cable and very nice quality on stereo .

Mike Glover March 20, 2017

Good little app, a few bugs (stations re-buffer occasionally which can be a tad bit annoying and the search button / location is bugged) that said, it lets me listen to the radio on the train into work and during the work day so overall it does what it says and has good variety. Would recommend.

Nathaniel Fillion June 15, 2017

I really like this app it has a good variety of radio stations from across Canada from Rock and Roll to contemporary Christian music.

Aidan Northcott March 29, 2017

Every so often the app will stop playing music. Hitting play will cause the player to rebuffer, but never actually plays music again. You must completely close the app, then reopen it to get music to play again. Really annoying

Darren Letendre March 24, 2017

Like the concept of this app, but like the majority of the people, I will use this on wifi. It's just too bad a bunch of stations do not work on some wifi broadcasts. It's likely bandwidth. Some stations are fine, exceptional even, others are a lot cause to stream

Christy McIntosh April 3, 2017

was really hoping to use this app in the USA but couldnt get access.. very disappointed but enjoy it in Canada. Unfortunately 102.1 the edge no longer has website access either.. so this app was my only USA option.

Jason Yeoman May 9, 2017

Works good except for JackFM in London. Select that station and it opens a webpage asking you to download their app instead. Opens an endless loop until you force the app closed. What's the point of having the app if you have to download another app to listen to them?

April 30, 2017

Definitely has some bugs. Often won't load radio stations and interupts frequently to play their ads over the station im listening to.

Michael Bennett May 7, 2017

There are so many other Radio Players out there to choose from. This one in particular is missing so many radio stations. Considering it is a radio player for only Canadian stations it lacks many of the major stations. The TuneIn Radio app is probably one of the best apps out there for radio listening enjoyment and leaves this one far behind in the dust

June 6, 2017

I found that most of the radio stations in Kamloops BC were available with this app. However I cannot find the local country station, as well as the local AM news and talk radio station is nowhere to be found, no matter what name I use to find it... Radio NL, B-100, and "The River", do not exist in this app. Therefore,I am rating it 3 🌟's, when I can listen to all of the existing stations in Kamloops and Vancouver, I will update my rating and give 5 🌟's!

Laurie Jordan May 12, 2017

Not bad. But when a text or anything interrupts it wont go back to playing so I have to shut the app down and restart it. That's annoying.

Michael K H TANG March 2, 2017

OK first attempt, Tune in Radio much better. Not all Canadian radio stations are on this app and that is for a city like Toronto. App unable to locate stations in my location even though I had my location on, Wi-Fi and wireless data available.

Mike Spear June 5, 2017

Like other reviews I found it opened up station websites and sent me into an endless loop that required closing the App and Chrome. Even though location is on and authorized the App can' t detect my location. Searching for known stations is either slow or does not work at all. Many better Apps out there.

April 29, 2017

Good app. Not all provincial or locally available stations listed. Hope it's just a matter of time for them to get on board.

Jordan D'Amore March 23, 2017

I do like this app as a whole but the alarm function could use some tweaking. For example; having a widget and being able to set multiple alarms. Otherwise, solid app. A little buggy too, crashes sometimes.

Jay ZAP March 10, 2017

Not working on LG G3 and G4. Asks too many changes to phone settings on first install. Can't search stations. With hundreds of other choices for radio aggregator apps, I'll be listening elsewhere.

Arden Dragoon April 6, 2017

This app is not self contained, it just brings you to website, where it will not let you leave to go back to app. Even restarting does not bring you back to station choices. Was this app tested before lainch. very cumbersome, simple radio is much better app. FAIL.

Jayden Lobbezoo March 1, 2017

For not even 24h old amazing missing some ststions but hey its new for now its good best one I've found

Michael Hendsbee May 15, 2017

Wake up feature is finicky and unreliable. Lacks any way to list or sort stations by genre. Besides these simple easy fixes it's a great app.

Christie Harris June 2, 2017

Cuts out all the time! :( I love the app because it allows me to listen to our local radio station. It has a nice clean user interface... BUT it constantly stops and buffers. Doesn't seem to matter how strong my connection, if on wifi or 4g, my location from router. It cuts in and out constantly. Then I get fed up and just shut it off.
