Ootunes Radio App Reviews

I am not certain how objective I can be as I was a beta tester for this update however I remember emailing the developer and asking about an update I used it on family sharing for a while but have just purchased it and I'm glad I did I do not mind putting a few jingles in the developers pocket as he makes the app accessible with voiceover which I appreciate however I would like to see a little improvement for the future versions of iOS in the dialogs and such that users are talking about my advice to those of you writing bad reviews would be to contact the app developer via the app support but he is receptive and does answer email so please do that I would be happy to help you

Even though there is always room for improvement, I'm pleased to report that ooTunes has been my go to entrainment App since 2009 to the present day. Cannot say that about any other paid App thus far. Thank you oogli

I must be the only one, but the update seems to have bogged down connecting to channels I listen to frequently. Sometimes it won't connect at all or takes repeated attempts before a connection can be made. Still needs an update to the update IMHO.

Have been using this app since 2011. Thank you for providing me with years of world radio. ooTunes Radio is still #1 in my book. App installed on all my computer and devices.

My main reason for purchasing this app is because of the large selection of feeds. That said - for a premium paid app, I would like to see a more refined UI (especially on the iPad). Would also love to see Apple Watch support...

This is one of the best apps around for radio stations. The developer is extremely responsive to feedback and is always willing to help. The alarm clock works just fine. I especially like that voiceover accessibility has been preserved. That isn’t the case with all apps.

I’ve had this app for years. I’ve probably paid for less than 5 apps ever, the OoTunes one of them. I was only on iPad, which I don’t bring to work. My phone is android, streamed with Simple radio, then that app went bad. Tune-In and iHeart wanted am upgrade to premium for previously free stations. I know OoTunes has always been reliable, so I bought an SE. Steve, the developer, always answers. I’ve asked him to add stations and other things. Really the best radio app. I wish I could rate it higher than 5 stars.

I use this app daily. It’s like having a radio in your pocket for almost any station you could ever need. I’ve never yet been unable to find a station I wanted, anywhere in US/Canada/Ireland. The support from the developer is OUTSTANDING. He is fabulous at trying to get a station that isn’t working to start loading. Often it’s an obscure station and he does everything to make it come online for you. He will contact back to you within a day. This app is well worth the price. It does what it says it will do and it does it very well. Can’t ask for more.

Great app but it would be nice to have a way to save recordings from the app to my Apple Watch so I can go for runs etc without my phone. Otherwise it is my favorite music app that I use daily. Can’t be beat!!!

Couldn't be happier. Ages ago when I had a problem with a stream and reported it the developer replied with 15 mins. It was fixed just as quick.

Used to be good, now everything is comercial because you have to listen to their comercial plus the station comercial

I thought this might do scheduled recordings of internet radio stations. Wrong.

Even though this app is not that costly, I would say, don't buy it. It is a waste of time and money. I just want to set up a time to record a program daily, and I thought that was what this app would deliver. Sadly, either I am not capable of doing this or the app is not great for this purpose. Very NOT INTUITIVE! Not only have I wasted my money, but I wasted my time trying to make it work; plus I missed the programs I wanted to record.

I’ve been using this app for years and it’s still my favorite – because it’s the best! The feature set is great. And the customer service is even better. Over the years I’ve requested a number of streams be added and have never waited more than a few hours for Steve to let me know the station had been added. And today, after having been a couple of years since my last request, I asked Steve to add another. It came as no surprise that the station was available in just a few hours. Steve is also just as quick to respond to broken streams. I highly recommend ooTunes!

This app does everything as described and more and the support from app creator, Steven, is quick and responsive. Incredible app features that work flawlessly and a terrific experience when reaching out to Steven for assistance. I would rate it a 6 if I could. As close to perfection as it gets.

Love this app. Have had it on my phone and and I pad for serval years now. Much better then I-heart.

I’ve tried them all, radio.com, tuneIn, etc. This has several streams for just about every station. It’s true radio without blackouts or other issues. Absolutely the best. Could use a better clock and CarPlay functionality, but for pure radio it’s the best app in the store.

I drive at night and this ootunes doesnt has black mode for night... this white is bright at night they need to change dark gray .... please make it happen

I bought this app many years ago. It has become my go to radio app because it seems to have a great variety of stations. My only suggestion would be an interface refresh. Still, I am a satisfied customer. :-)

2015 and I still love this app great for OTR One the best radio apps on iPhone and customer service is spot on(: if you have a question dev answers and fixes and brings the stations you want ... This is the only radio app you will need 4 years with app and stilly favorite (-: 2014 8 years and still the best !!!!!!!! 2018

I've been using ooTunes for many years and love it!! Its alarm function is way better and easier to use than iHeartRadio's! It's so nice to be able to record what you hear and add markers for when you want to go back and listen to certain spots again later. Thank you, ooTunes!

When playing an AAC+ Stream, often the quality is lower than expected. However stopping and restarting the stream can fix it. In addition, if a stream for some reason stops playing, due to intermittent connection issue or other type of issues related airplay, an error message comes up and doesn’t go away automatically. It’s funny one free apps are used to do this automatically about you pay for it and you have to deal with mags!

The latest update (September 17, 2018) works very well indeed. Impressive that the update arrived on the same day as iOS 12.0 Thanks to the developer for his continued excellent response time to requests for additional stations to be added or for broken streams to be fixed. A unique and exceedingly capable app.

Fantastic for listening in general, and for creating your own personal podcasts and playlists in specific. Pause live radio when life interrupts. Schedule recordings for when you're away, and listen when you want. Works great on otherwise obsolete hardware and saves it from the landfill! Works fine on newest iOS. Very responsive developer!

I’ve owned this app since my first iPhone. Use it every day. A must have for radio junkies.

This is an awesome app, sometimes they take too much time to updated, but when they do everything works perfectly!!! Can't live without this app.

This radio app is STILL by far the best one out there. I try to spread the word to other Apple users. Keep doing a Brest job Mr. Developer!!

This is the best radio app. If TuneIn doesn’t get a station, this will. Love the auto-recording capability.

Best radio app out there. You can email the developer and he will add stations not on there. So many radio stations! Wonderful app.

Nice to see this app got updated, I thought it was gone. It's my favorite radio app, which I haven't used for years. Hopefully they get to updating the UI for the iPhone 7 plus screen, then it will be a 5 star app!

HI please update the UI & The app For compatible devices like iPhone 8 Plus on 11.4.1 thanks needs updated ASAP

I don’t know why this app does not get the recognition it so richly deserves. Hands down the best.

I’ve had and have actively used this app for several years and it faithfully remains my go-to app to listen to my favorite radio stations. There are very few radio apps out there that allow you the opportunity to search, find and freely listen to a multitude of worldwide radio stations and other broadcast feeds...without all the hype and annoying pop-up ads. Thank you to the developers.

I've had ooTunes forever and it's still the best internet radio player out there. Love the recording feature, fast fwd/rev options. I'm an internet broadcaster and I use this app All. The. Time. Get it now.

Been using the app for many years. No ads and pretty much every station is available as well as national cable news stations/NPR etc. And now a new update for OS12! Can also record streams and rewind/fast forward. No longer have the ability to export recordings unfortunately but perhaps that’s an Apple rule?? Regardless, major props to the developer!!

Try to submit feedback but no contact information

I keep listening ads that don’t belong to the radio stations it is very annoying, they tolf me to report it on the app , but there is no wat to do it there, 101.1 exa fm Guadalajara mexico go there if you don’t believe me

This app is one of my favorite top 3 apps, I use it everyday to record radio programs which saves me money from not having to purchase radio subscriptions. Also the ability to save recordings and playback at any point is great. Solid as a rock , play the radio or recordings all day long with your iPads protective case closed with no drain on your battery charge.

This app is excellent. It is the best radio app that I know of.

this app could use an update but really this is the best internet radio app out there it needs iphone 5 support though luckily i have a 4s but still pretty important to have an extensive update is long over due though because it has been over two years keep up the great work Steve. Wow!!! In 2011, I bought Tunein and it was great... for a while, that is. Once they started blocking stations, I went to Ootunes and never looked back. Even though an update was nonexistent for so long, I continued to use it because of the fact that I could stream almost any station I wanted and record live club broadcasts and mixshows. I also kept it around because Steve provided awesome customer service and gave me very doable work arounds to the bugs present within the app. I was presently surprised with this update and love all of the added features and long awaited bug fixes. Over seven years ago, I put my money where my mouth was as a radio nerd at age 13. With no update, even then so, I still kept it on my phone and used it every single day almost all the time. It was worth every cent and worth the wait.

I can’t say enough good about this app! I’m highly impressed and happy with it. The recording capability is definitely my favorite, also the many, many stations make it well worth the cost. Thank you and keep up the good work!!!

This app was designed for iOS 3 and 4. The previous time it was updated 5 years (!) ago (v.4.0.2) to support iOS 5. The current update 4.0.3 was done in February probably just to support launching the app in the recent iOS versions. The design of the app has not been changed since iOS 4. It absolutely looks terrible on iPhone 7 Plus and iPad Pro 12.9 (it officially supports iPad). The interface reminds me of the old Windows 3. Some dialog windows designed for mouse not for touch. It crashed at least once on my iPhone. Many streams fail to connect. Car Mode is a joke! This kind of apps should not be allowed in the App Store. They just generate revenue for these "developers" without them doing anything for years. And this is a $5 app!

The station features are okay, but the alarm clock features are primitive. For example, there’s no snooze feature. When you put the time on the display, it’s pretty plain (only white on black) with no brightness or size control. When the alarm goes off, there’s no buttons on this screen to turn off or snooze, which you would expect from an alarm clock. You need to go back to the main control screen to stop the station. There’s only one alarm setting (not a big deal for me). Overall the user interface is just primitive. I guess it’s usable (in a primitive sort of way) but I was disappointed. As for additional suggestions, a feature that gradually fades in the alarm volume is nice. Some sort of backup alarm when the internet station is not reachable (just some fixed little tune would do). With a better alarm features I would rate this app quite a bit higher.

I’ve used this app every day for so many years that I can’t remember when I first downloaded it. When I stream any radio station, I use this first. The automatic recording is nice. The DVR functionality is essential for how listen, especially sine it does not have the 30-minute limit of others that even have this feature. The developer is very responsive. If your preferred station isn’t available, ask him. If you want to stream, check it out.

Don’t buy this application it’s a waste of money first week the radio is fine but after a couple weeks play most commercials over and over.i lost my money.

Can’t believe it’s back! I decided to search for this app again after stumbling on an old playlist of songs I’d found using it. Pleasantly surprised to not only find it, but to discover it’s being updated! App has everything you could want and don’t sleep on Radio Roulette!! Love that feature! Thanks dev!!

I paid $5 for this app so it would record a program I could not be awake for. I set it for the right time and number of hours. Yet today I have only a 3:42 recording at a random time and not what I wanted. Now I have missed the program that will not be replayed and I have wasted my money. If you're going to make people pay for your app the least you can do is make sure it WORKS.

Not at all intuitive and no explanation of how to use it. Author did not reply to email.
