Audials Play - Radio & Podcast

First off, thank you to the developer for creating a free and ad-free app. The radio app I had been using was lat updated 4 years ago and 3 of my favorite local stations stopped working and the developer apparently no longer responds to help emails. I spent about a week trying different radio apps but the majority did not have all the local stations I listen to. Yesterday, I tried Audials and was happy to be able to save ALL 12 of my favorite local stations. This is now my new favorite radio app 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. The only issue I have come across is several stations have about a 10 second lag before they start but that is probably the actual online station website and not necessarily the app causing this. Even with the lag, this is still a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ rated app. I definitely recommend Audials.

This app works well for its purpose. My favorite functions include the ability to search stations by artist and to know the bitrate of the stream up front. I also like the fact that the next button takes you to your next favorited station. This works wonderfully when driving because it feels like you’re flipping through stations like in the radio—especially if your car allows you to use your steering wheel to cycle through tracks/stations. The interface isn’t as pretty as TuneIn, but there are no ads and it’s free so no complaints there. If I had a wishlist item, though, it would be to the ability to Chromecast. The lack of this is the only reason I have to switch back to TuneIn occasionally. This is a great app that is extremely functional. Also love the fact that I can access my streams through a browser when using a computer.

Thanks for recent update to make favorites link on front page. But favorites needs to function the same way as when your in car mode and auto play whenever you tap on a favorite. Then when your playing a favorite station, you should be able to scroll up/down through you favorites and auto play each station. There should be a option for car mode that you can turn it off and on permanently, so that if you want to remain in car mode it will be your choice. There should be an option to make favorites your front page permanently if you would like. Then favorites would always be the first thing that you see when you open the app (this is what people want). Lastly, there seems to be a bug with this new version so that your not able to pause from your car stereo while using car play and also mostly not working when you try to start playing a station again from your car stereo after stopping the station manually. Bug is so bad with car play it forces me to use native app for whatever radio station I’m playing instead of Audials.
