I've used this app for years to download podcasts. Now it randomly deleted my whole list. Tried to re-download them. It used to take just a minute or two to download a podcast now it takes up to an hour for an hour and a half podcast. I won't be paying for the app any longer. I'm not sure why it's such a failure lately but not worth the money. I'll just move to Spotify for my podcasts.
i use this app everyday. Lately ive noticed that when im listening to my talk radio shows all the sudden it disconnects and cricketts...... I have to close the app and reopen it to connect back to the show im listening to. Im wondering if this is a bug that was planted to keep listeners from listening to conservative talk shows. It cuts out in hopes that i get frustrated and stop listening to that station. By the way, i only have this problem with conservative talk shows. Deep State at work????
An app I use daily for my favorite out of town live radio shows. Unfortunately when I navigate out (to another app that uses audio) and back in to the app a short list of "default" songs start automatically playing. When this happens I have to stop the live station and press play again for it to reload the show I was listening to.
Love the app but the love is fading fast. The my favorite station needs some work. It plays the same songs over and over again. For example,I have at least 20+ songs favorited by Michael Jackson yet it only plays the same one over and over. Does that with alot of artists. I'll have alot favorited from all kinds of artists yet most of them I don't hear anything from. Plz retweak it or fix it
It's 2022 and app can't even remember the last position of a podcast if you close it before finishing. I came from other podcast apps because I thought this app would be an upgrade, but there are so many "basic" features that this app lacks. Going to try out another app, which is a pain because I took a long time to mark a lot of episodes as played in a long running podcast series when I first switched over. Ugh!
The app will play songs instead of playing live radio when you are listening to local channels. I always miss parts of my favorite morning show. When they broadcast local news, I Heart plays its own random music instead. It keeps repeating the same 2 or 3 commercials over and over that my station doesn't play. It also plays songs from a different genre then my station plays. JUST STICK TO WHAT THE LIVE RADIO PLAYS!!! I bought a mini radio to carry at work instead!!!
For the past 10 or 12 years that I've been in love with this app along with my aggressive efforts to make/convert any and everyone I know to make the switch to this wonderful app I've only had one let down, (and it hurt lol) which was when they took the alarm off that turns on the app with your favorite radio station. 😔😒😨😨 please bring back that feature 🙏🏿
I've kept going with this app for a long time because it used to be good. It has been getting less and less friendly to free users and I'm finally done. You can't play specific songs, you can't play albums, the app unlikes your liked songs randomly, and it never suggests anything relevant to your likes. I'm uninstalling after I post this review.
Your app keeps cutting into live programming with ads or music that isn't even live. I can stop it and or get out of the app and go back in, and then the music starts over. Please, it is about time to make your app keep whatever live programming is going on the radio instead of cutting out of it. Do not ask me to email you guys with more info. This is all the info I have. I'm sure I'm not the only one with this annoying issue.
Well... Although I LOVE this app, especially the 80's music while I'm at work, it constantly shuts down on me which I have to keep rehitting the play button, HOWEVER, I can't say if it's the app, or just spotty WiFi because iheart is the only app I seem to have issues with. I even got a new phone just for music only while at work, and I still have some issues with the music stopping constantly.
It should be called iHeartAds. At least once per week I launch the app and an unending loop of ads will play. I have listened for 10 minutes at times, only to realize I'm not hearing ads from my station, but ads directly from the app. Thankfully my station created their own app so I can uninstall this one. Ridiculous!
I think iHeartRadio is a great app with one major drawback. Every few days, the only podcast in my followed podcast list will be the last one I listened to. All others will be gone. I have to search for each one again, go to the podcast page, and then it'll appear back on the list. This is a very annoying bug.
Ever since I left Spotify, I have been looking for another music service and welcome the free trials. It is a good way to see if I want to subscribe. In the others I have tried, cancelling was easy. Iheart is the first one that wouldn't work when trying to do it through the site (reminding me that until I cancel, I would be charged), then forced me to send an e-mail to thier support. They gave me a number and would let me know when I would be able to cancel. I am still waiting for a response.
Ads are intrusive-you have to watch an ad or click on an ad upon opening the app before you can even access your stations. App is also horrible for podcasts-it will not play the podcasts in order of episodes, and I have to often go back into the app to play the next episode even when it is queued up.
I love this app for finding new music to add to my playlists. It's a really good app, however, there are a two bugs 1. Sometimes the option to add to my playlist or like a song just stops working for no reason. 2. The app sometimes stops telling me the name of songs. I try restarting the app and pausing and resuming the song to fix the issue but it doesn't work.
