Ratings and reviews

Great app. There are plenty of different DJs playing what inspires them from 70s rock to the blackest of metal and all around and in between. I used to turn to metal and other genre magazines to discover new bands and genres, but now I don't have the time for it so this app exposes me to all kinds of new sounds while at home, walking, or at the gym. Commercial radio just plain sucks. The paid subscription lets you play programs on demand but just streaming live for free is great too.

The good: interesting selection of metal and shows that isn't available elsewhere. The bad: Only 2 live streams and sometimes they run the same show. Very limited selection at times. This would only rate 3 stars if there was another Metal streaming service. Also, feels like a work in progress. Hopefully it will improve in time. Could easily be 5 stars if they put in the effort to make it so.

This app is great we all love metal blah blah. For the devs: on android the "save track to collection" function doesn't work for previously played tracks in the set (only works on currently playing track). Haven't found any other glaring issues in normal use. The store works really good just picked up some records 😎. Edit: if I'm not supposed to be able to save previously played tracks that's fine but then remove the save button dang it!
