Ratings and reviews

Update: The June '24 update introduced some network instability when casting (& playing in my car). I now get short pauses during most tracks. Now it seems that network traffic and activity on my phone affects playback on my Google home speaker - which should be directly streaming from the server. (Original) This. This makes me so happy! I loved the original app but stopped using it because amongst other things, it didn't have Chromecast support. This does! Oh so happy!!!!! [...] Thank you!!!!!

I love this app, it's very sleek and stylish and easy to use. I need to report a bug though, and I'm not sure what's the best way to contact the author, so I'll say it here because I think I have a workaround that may help other users: I've noticed that sometimes this app uses way too much battery in the background. Not always. My theory is the app keeps animating the visualizer screen when I leave the app from it. I don't think it happens when I leave the app from the station select screen.

I've been listening to SomaFM since 2006 and am so happy they've kept it going and current with technology. I used to have an iOS device and the Soma app worked very well. Android had no official app at first, but now we have this one, which is great with one exception. The stream stops after a few minutes while connected via Bluetooth with the screen locked. I have to unlock the screen to get the stream working again.
