Beautiful *****
This is the best app I have ever used. It looks beautiful, works seamlessly, sounds great…it's a work of art, really. Bravo!

Excellent *****
The only radio app you'll need.

A great radio! *****
I don't give out 5 stars usually, but this App deserves it. It's simple, does what it says, and the sound quality is very impressive :) Thumbs up!

Five start app *****
First radio app to have Chill radio on it works perfectly

Upgraded from The Radio only to ensure Giles received his 99 cents (or thereabouts). Would have paid much more, as the interface is elegant, the selection comprehensive. As an Anglophile in the States, this is the best way to feel connected to British culture on a day-to-day basis, particularly via football on Five Live and Five Live Extra. Looking forward to screen rotation on my iPad, but this is a minor quibble. Cheers!

Terrific app for Anglophiles in the US

I agree with Jim Bittman's review and love this app with one exception: Radio 7 has been changed to Radio 4 extra, so that link no longer works. I really miss that programming, so could you update that, please? Thanks!

Excellent simple app

Like Elizabeth, I enjoyed, but miss, radio 7, so please fix ASAP. Also please get radio ulster on there, and I'll love you forever! Thanks!

Unreliability Problems Ongoing
:-Derek

Despite the fact that I enjoy the IPRadio provided by this simple app, it has a couple severe ongoing problems: (1) If you put the app into 'standby' and work in another app, you cannot play radio stations as it goes into sit-&-spin mode. You are forced to Quit then restart it. (2) It unreliably places many stations whereby it plays what sounds like half the bytes in a packet, sounding like the station on speed, then runs out of data, spins as it pulls in more, plays a subsample of that data at warp speed, spins as it gets more.... This renders these stations unlistenable. Please fix these problems ASAP! They are maddening.

No Longer Working

I used this app religiously up until last week when it stopped working altogether. Wi-Fi or 3G: it doesn't matter how many times I fiddle with it, I can't get it to connect to any stations. I'm going through Radio 2 withdrawal and not unlike a junkie, I keep messing with it everyday in the hope that a pleasant & reassuring British voice will appear. So far, no dice.
