Somafm Radio Player App Reviews

Got to be some of the best chill music out there always laidback tasty groove to get through the day or night always just right 😋

I’ve been listening to Soma.fm for years. Similar to Digitally Imported, but stations here are much more diverse and interesting. The avant-garde music programming in this app is unlike anything else out there. A must download for any music enthusiast who is looking to listen to something slightly different.

Could you guys please add the iPhone X layout support?

THANK U for creating a super cool app with thousands of options of different music right @ my fingertip! No need for an MP3 player or to waste money on buying music by singles anymore! Absolutely recommend!

Please support SomaFM and purchase this app. If you are downloading this, or at least considering it, chances are you don't need to be sold on SomaFM. The app is simple and extremely user friendly. You also get the added benefit of supporting something you already love, and that's a really nice feeling.

Very poor performance with car play (which was the primary reason I purchased this app). I feel like I wasted money. Please fix this.

Where to begin telling how much I love this app? The app is stable and plays forever like a champ. The stations though, are what make Soma among my to two music apps. Since like 2006! Rock this app. You won't regret it!

Awesome selection of music without ads!

I love Soma FM! Been a long time listener for years. I just bought a car with CarPlay and I am so impressed that they went through the effort of developing an app for the car platform! Couldn’t recommend this enough. If you enjoy it, be sure to set up a monthly donation. These guys put out all of this content for free with zero ad revenue, so pitch in and keep it alive!

The best music programming out there. Not the same repetitive trash heard on the radio, or even that provided by most streaming services. True alternative radio. I dropped satellite radio and just stream this while driving. Uses very little data (compared to the big streamers like Google Play, Spotify, etc). There is an option for high quality streams, but low quality still sounds great. Something for everyone! Buy and support!

This is one of my most frequently used apps, no question. The only thing keeping me from giving it 5⭐️ is that it doesn't show any song information when Chromecasting — just the station graphic and description. I would love to know the artist, title and album without having to unlock my phone. Thanks for a great set of stations, Rusty & Co.!

Album Rock? Blues? You have heard of these, right?

By far the best 'underground' music app. Musical genres are well organized with tracks of the grid. Commercial free music for every mood; meticulously blended seamlessly.

Why do I have to pay $8 for an iPad app that doesn’t have full functionality?? No 128k feed! Fix it will ya?!?!?

I have been listening a long time and was excited to recently find there is an app. I have no problem paying for it. It's worth it. I often go to sleep listening to the Drone Zone, so I love the 30 minute timer. Brilliant!!

Get this, no way to regret it. Every taste imaginable.

All stations are great. Curated, interesting and high quality.

My go to music app when I don't know what I want. Simple, quick and enjoyable.

I love listening to the music SomaFM programs and was thrilled to see there’s a version for Apple TV, but it would be 💯 times better if I could save my favorite stations like on the macOS version.

That's when I discovered SomaFM and Groove Salad. My life changed for the better. I am happy to know you are still kicking it.

It is what it is..... Awesome!

Subpar audio quality

Electro, jazz, independent at its best. Holiday naughty station makes the season tolerable. No ads. Just intelligent music.

I love the SomaFM network. Love! I have a monthly donations set up and stations like Poptron, Secret Agent, and Suburbs of Goa power my commute. But why is the bandwidth on the official app so low? I have it set to “Always High” but most of the stations play at 64k AAC. I have the same station playing on a generic radio app and it’s 128 AAC. So the stream is there. Even with cheap earbuds the quality difference is enough to skip the app. It seems a shame. This would be one of my most-used apps if it simply played at a higher bitrate.

When you wish to favorite a song it's confusing. Highlight the song playing with an unmistakable presence. You app & website both share this displeasure in common. Scroll the text make the text white, highlight the whole of the tab & information pertaining to the song playing in my opinion. #loveSomaFmSecretAgent&dubstepBeyond

This app is still one of my favorite music apps, and I've never once regretted paying for it. I am bothered by a couple of things, though. Sometimes the music from the app keeps playing after I've left the app, and I'm not sure why. And I really wish it wasn't so hard to like a song and then pull up the menu that shows up when you tap a song without not liking it. Otherwise, a solid music app for several years running, and hopefully for several more.

Whatever your musical tastes are you are bound to find at least two stations you will want to listen to. I listen to Left Coast 70s, Boot Liquor, and Deep Space mostly. Unique songs, not the standard playlists you hear on commercial radio. I love this app for helping me discover new music.

All music streaming apps should strive 2 b like THIS. Period. I play this a lot @ night asI like 2 chillax & my taste runs way left of mainstream. I prefer a unique xperience when it comes 2 music. This is it. 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️all the way!

I have been listening to somafm since I was 14. I fell in love with their Drone Zone channel. Best ambient music I've ever heard. So glad it's still here.

I’ve been listening to SomaFM since I found it in the iTunes Radio Player on MacOS 9 in the early 2000s. The SomaFM App is great. Favorites list, sleep timer, bandwidth controls, nice artwork. Best streaming music channels around, quirky and fun.

I like the music, but Soma needs a higher resolution option. At least 256 AAC. Or even better, 1411. It is accepted that 128 kbps is just is not high enough to avoid losing too much of the quality. It is 2017, not 2007. People have faster connections and bigger data plans and WiFi now and so we can handle higher resolution music streaming.

This is what I've been looking for to help me rleax and fall asleep for a long time!

And I do!

Keeps getting better. Listener for nearly 29 years!

Will not downlaod to my phone!!!!!

I really love Soma fm but the app leaves much to be desired. Doesn't seem to work very well outside the US. I keep getting network errors and spinning status icons. But, once I use a VPN to connect back to the States, everything magically works. I have better luck just streaming the radio from the website in my phone's mini-browser than using the app.

No classical. And their idea of Jazz isn’t.

I love, love, love SOMA FM! It truly is alternative in the best way and commercial free. You can pick from a wide variety of genres. The DJs are so talented. Radio at its finest.

What more is there to say? This app is well worth the price. Soma's streams are brilliant. Highly recommended.

I've been listening to SomaFM for years. Great channels--chill, electronica, alternative, lounge. Commercial free! Super-fun Christmas channels. This is a free app with no charges. That's right. But if you listen, then donate. I do because I want these guys to stick around. New CarPlay functionality is icing on the cake. A cake of tasty music.

Excellent music, fine app. Don't forget to support Soma FM with donations.

And a great variety of music and channels. The app is a gem

I enjoy a wide range of genres, but almost all of these songs are not mainstream. It was too difficult to find a good station for me. Although, if you like non-mainstream, unknown, alternative music then you may want to check this out. I gave it 3 stars for the concept of providing free music.

My music buffers every few minutes and stops in the app. I'm using fast wifi so I don't know what the problem is. I hope to change my rating in the future if the problem is fixed.

I’ve been listening since engineering school. I love the NASA stream. It allows me to keep hope that I’ll go to space one day.

Only gave it 3 stars because it doesn't have even one country station. Very odd to me.

The Soma FM channel is the #1 channel available for ambient music. I have contributed a small amount of money to keep their programs free of commercials. Please try to help them if you are using this app.

I would rather use a browser. You cannot search for stations or save them without clicking more than 3 confusing places, if that even works.
