Rendered unusable due to increased advertising interruptions – TuneIn Radio: Music & Sports Review

It was already a little problematic that TuneIn inserted ads into public or nonprofit radio stations. But at least they only appeared at the beginning of a feed. TuneIn now interrupts radio feeds with unskippable ads— and frequently. This is a truly unacceptable change to an app that I have used for a good 7 years or more. The ads are loud, long, and sufficiently irritating for me to decide that using the app is no longer worth it— and not worth a paid subscription when there is an endless list of other apps, services, and content providers competing for my subscription dollars. I understand that they have bills to pay. We all do. Going forward, I’ve simply bookmarked the websites for radio stations I listen to; it’s an easy workaround. TuneIn, unfortunately, has evolved right out of useful enjoyment. Best of luck to them.
