Ratings and reviews

For one of the best music stations in the world the app is laughable. More than one star would be generous. It fails to load any content half the time and randomly stops after pausing playback the other half. They should consult with Spotify. Update (2026) : the new app is *so much* better! It works to the point that you can just focus on the music now.

update 3/2026: I have an Android/Samsung 25 phone. The app still has serious problems. I am a paying subscriber. It won't show me save songs (prob doesn't even save them). Every time I try to add a song to my list, it makes me sign in, but doesn't stay signed in and doesn't seem to save them anyway. Other than the additional "24" channels it's still way worse than it used to be.

the new update has made this app almost unusable. you have to sign in for it to remember anything you've done, you can't fast forward other than in 15 seconds intervals, the app crashed often, if you close the app (or it closes on it's own) you have to start over with whatever you were listening to and again, you can't just slide the bar to where you were. just go back to the old version, please!
