1. 3/5Good, not great

   I’ve used this app for maybe a year now. While I still use it all day and it’s almost completely replaced my Pandora habits, there’s room for improvement. I’ve noticed that the “see more” option for podcasts lists often disappears, depending on the update. I’ll be able to see the podcasts’ earlier work one day but not the next, which is a shame because I binge them in order of release date. So I have to skip to something new if the backlog option disappears. Not that it’s fun hunting that deep, four to five clicks and scrolls just to restart where I was is annoying. I’ve also noticed that once in a while if I pause the podcast or switch to external speakers/blue tooth tools, that whatever I’m listening to gets this stuttering/screech noise anywhere from 5 to 45 seconds. I have to back track and retry that section. This used to happen a lot on audio books but I don’t notice it on podcasts as much. Or with “live” shows. I really wish I could speed up books, like other apps, “1.5 the normal speed” would be great. Finally, the app never accurately remembers what I’ve listened to (completion of a a track) or where I’m at in a chapter or book. It constantly says I’ve only partially finished books because it forgets everything. I usually have to hunt for where I last was - a completely nightmare for something like IT.... gotta scroll forever to find the last chapters anyway. Sounds like a lot of stuff, and it is, but it’s little stuff. The sheer variety of items I can listen to makes up for it.

2. 3/5Better streaming

   I stream radio content constantly throughout the day. Streaming with iTunes would produce frequent buffering, starting and stopping, skipping back and forth for the first ten minutes of any new stream. TuneIn produces a much cleaner stream. It has solved all my problems, even where reception is intermittently degraded, but. . . I’m frustrated by Tune In’s sloppy button placement and library features. First the button placement: by placing suggested channels at the bottom of the play window, I’m constantly inadvertently clicking on one of these random channels, when then appear in my library where inadvertently select them again. I have Tune In expressly so that I can listen to NPR, both my home station without constant buffering and occasionally to west coast NPR stations so that I can hear the new later than is available. With TuneIn’s sloppy interface, I’m often clicking on random stations that I don’t have any interest in. It is very very frustrating, especially when I’m in the middle of an important story. I also wish TuneIn would implement a fast backward button so that I could quickly replay a detail that I might have missed. And finally, TuneIn needs and Apple Watch app.

3. 1/5I want my money back

   I commented a year ago in agreement with others from several years before that about the “Here’s something you might have missed” audio repeats multiple times per hour (that is, if you listen to a one hour show, you can’t possibly miss it the second, third, fourth time. That is far more annoying than hearing commercials! The author asked for my email address to discuss (as if they were being responsive to a paying customer) and proceeded to take the conversation outside the Apple store. They then ask me what programs I was listening to and came back with a dismissive, “that’s how it normally works” non-response. I know that’s how it works, but it should be fixed, not excused! Paying over $100 / year should justify updating the app to address these repeated subscriber complaints, not keep adding more channels I don’t care about to allow them keep signing up new users. I signed up on their site using PayPal, not through Apple, so I couldn’t unsubscribe via iOS or PayPal directly. After having to hear an accused murderer testify about his bloody wife and son he was on trial for shooting over and over in one hour, I had enough (again), but still hadn’t been able to identify how to cancel the annual auto-pay renewal before it just went through PayPal and now it can’t be cancelled for another year. I will be contacting the authors to ask for a refund if they still won’t fix the repeat content bug (it’s certainly NOT a feature worth paying for.)

4. 2/5Need to fix buffering

   Update: The buffering was fixed and worked for a period of months, however recently the ability to pause and playback was removed from the app. Now hitting pause will only save data for a minute or so, then no additional steam is saved and the recording just jumps forward to live. Prior to this the app would save about 30min before jumping to live. This is a huge setback in app performance and makes the app almost useless, since even a short phone call will result in missing part of a broadcast. Hopefully this feature is restored, in the meantime I will unfortunately have to look for a new app. Too bad because I have used this for years and enjoyed it. First of all and probably most importantly, the app content is great. However there are issues with buffering that need to be fixed. The app offers pause and RW/FF functions, but if you pause for even a short time the app will skip ahead midstream once you are playing back the buffered content. Also when playing back buffered content it will randomly repeat a few second long portion several times. Buffering is a feature used on many apps these days and it usually works flawlessly, this app needs to fix these issues to compete. If buffering was fixed this would be a 5 star review.

5. 1/5How do I remove this app?

   How do I remove this app?? Not HIDE the app like it keeps suggesting but, how do I completely remove it, along with any of the data it has stored on my phone. Permanently. I hate this app. The only reason it’s on my phone is because I asked Siri to play some white noise the other day. I have ADHD and I was feeling overstimulated. Sometimes a good white noise will help to calm me from the inside out. A bad sample or version of white noise gives me anxiety SO freaking bad, which is the total OPPOSITE of what I’m trying to accomplish. So anyway, Siri said “apple is finding some to play with Tune-in.” Right after that, the most obnoxious sound, guaranteed to provoke anxiety in the most calm person on the planet started to play. I can’t get rid of it! This is the only sound the app plays, STILL, even after I deleted the app!! It starts playing randomly in my car when I’m trying to make a hands-free call, it continues to play while the call is active and after. I even went into the cars settings and “forgot” my phone, thinking that would remove the problem. The problem stayed and now I can’t connect my phone back to the car because every time I enable Bluetooth pairing, this terrible white noise starts to play loudly through the cars speakers. My opinion of this app experience is, Do NOT use this app.

2. 1/5

   This app has been losing stars for years. It's seemingly incapable of dealing with my phone moving from WiFi to SIM data...I have to crash the app and restart. And today, it has apparently lost all radio channels and can't perform its sole purpose or function (playing radio, not stealing my personal data).

4. 5/5

   This is the best app! Have had it for many many years and my go to for my favorite music and news. If you don't have it, get it you wont be disappointed. The tech support is right on, someone makes contact with you with very detailed info to get you up and running. I had an issue with the operation of the widget, which took awhile to correct but the technical team kept at it until they zeroed in on the issue and got the widget working as it should. thank you technical team touche great job!!!!

5. 4/5

   i used the free one for years, every once in awhile, but it nice the pro version doesn't have banner ads, or video ads before you listen to a radio, but it does still have audio ads on some radios and ads when the radio is playing ads, but that not as bad as the banner and video ads, on the free app the video and banner ads could get annoying after awhile with the unskippable ads
