RadiOMG for SomaFM

It's great to see an app of this quality that allows us easy access to the various stations on the fabulous SomaFM. Thanks!

Have been a SomaFM listener since the early 2000s and love these stations more than any other. This app is a *wonderful* way to access and stream somaFM, and I give it nearly 5 stars for ease of use, reliability, quality. The missing final star is because when you stop playback/quit the app, the next time you toggle Bluetooth on your device, this app begins playing and doesn't want to stop. Controls for the app vanish from Android and don't come back unless you restart radioOMG.

I've been listening to SomaFM since 2006 and am so happy they've kept it going and current with technology. I used to have an iOS device and the Soma app worked very well. Android had no official app at first, but now we have this one, which is great with one exception. The stream stops after a few minutes while connected via Bluetooth with the screen locked. I have to unlock the screen to get the stream working again.

I love that I can get SomaFM on a mobile device. I like the design very much. But I am amending my review to report that a) it doesn't stop playing when you pull the cord or turn off the BT device like all other music players do and b) it can become nonresponsive while playing and I have no way to kill it. I have ver 1.8.1. Update. Uninstalled. I can't have a music app that won't pause or close.

Really enjoying this app as a long-time listener and supporter of SomaFM. It's easy to use and has been reliable and stable for me. I particularly love the sleep timer feature. Thanks for developing an app that does what it needs to do without unnecessary garbage. Keep up the good work!

I love this app! It has drawbacks... Mostly that it doesn't like to stop. Closing usually involves the app not responding (or taking a longer to close than seems reasonable). It's not annoying enough to be a deterrent. Still more convenient than the site for phones. It runs well in the background.

I like this app I think it's fantastic. I love being able to choose quality. The only reason I don't love it is because it's louder out of vlc. Also, the visualizer... Can we get.... a better one.....? Most folks who would use a visualizer have a screen that can do one right. 60+ fps color change with multi touch interactions.... -=cough-= milk..... Thank you for your work, and reading this if you did!

Had no choice but to finally uninstall. Locks up Pixel 4a 5G during powering on or restart ("SomaFM not responding" prompt with options to either "Wait" or "Close app"), the only non-system app to do so. Not sure why this app is continually active even when I haven't opened it. Not only that but prompt will pop up again even if I think I've killed the app. Android 12 already starting up better without it. Zero reason for this app to activate at boot up or run in the background.

Buggy. The music player stops playing a few min after my phone screen is off. I have to open the app every 5 min to continue the stream. Only thing keeping me from giving it 5 stars 😃 luv Soma. Glad there is an app regardless.

It's great to have an app that supports SomaFM on Android in the UK, thanks guys. I also love the stream quality selector and sleep timer. My gripes are around Chromecast it is great to have, but it's less stable than other radio streams I use - it seems sensitive to my handset disconnecting from the home network for some reason, Finally can we have native Google Home/Nest integration please - i'd love to be able to just tell my smart speakers to play some Xmas in Frisko without fiddling with my phone!

SomaFM makes an iOS app and charges a one-time fee of 7.99 which I gladly paid back when I used an iPhone. This app is just as polished and functional. I've been an avid listener for many years so this app is extremely useful to me. Definitely one of my most-used Android apps.

This works on my Nvidia Shield 2015 version. However: 1. Unavailible in the Shields Play Store app. You'll have to sideload it. 2. You'll need a multimedia controller with a trackpad mapped to your TV's screen. The Logitech K830 worked for me. 3. A static image will be left on your TV screen. Prolonged use could 'burn' your TV screen. If your TV has a setting to turn the screen off use it for screen protection. Alternatively you could use an HDMI splitter (or extractor) into your audio gear.

Amazingly simple app, it just works without issue every time. Great way to listen to any soma fm channel. Not sure what bitrate streams they use I've had it blasting out a pretty high quality Bluetooth speaker and it sounded great, but maybe a selector for stream quality would be a nice addition in future. Recommended A+

Great alternative to the older official app.

Upgrading my review to a 4.5 as my issue with the volume has been resolved. Doug Melton was very informative and helpful. Like the app very much, can now play SomaFM in my car as well as at home. Better than Sirius, and free!

Have been a big listener via the web site for some time (special agent). This app is superb for me as I can now just quickly view other stations and hit play. Its so easy to use, none of the BS other music apps have. Great app guys, better than that superb A+ Forgot to say, plays the kinda stuff I'm into, lounge and exotica.

The developer was kind enough to troubleshoot my problem. The work around, if the app takes over and locks up your phone, is to restart the app and disable visualization before playing music. After that the app works fine.

Wow...after using this new, unofficial app, I don't miss the official, decommissioned SomaFM app I used for years. Good job! I love the ability to select stream quality. I wonder what new goodies are in store on this app? ***Request: the lockscreen widget does not have next song, play/pause buttons similar to Spotify-can these be added? FYI, I'm using a Pixel 4a, Android 11. Too bad SomaFM couldn't use all those donations they solicit to fund an app of this quality.

Amazing app for your somafm fix. I've been listening since about 2007 and this app is clean and simple and keeps me plugged in for my daily soundtrack. Seriously there's nothing better than playing Vaporwaves poolside or Digitalis with your morning coffee. Great and solid app build, and many kudos!

This listener supported radio station deserves all the love (money) because they will never let you down, only pick you up! SUPER DUPER FANTABULOUS DJ's pick amazing jams that WILL keep you grooving. Num Nums for the ears! So many badass stations for any mood. THANK YOU SOMA for introducing me to SO much musical greatness. Congrats with yer new app, much love!

The app looks good, and is easy to use. I very much appreciate the favorites folder, as well as the Chromecast support. The addition of a quality sector made it just about as good as I could ask.

Works great while using phone, but most times that i lock the screen, the music stops playing after a few seconds. The lock screen controls don't do anything when that happens.

Great app. Normally, I listen deep space one via the web page, but that stream sometimes stops all of a sudden. This app provides a stable stream and the sound quality is also great, so nice work 👍

Wonderful. Everything you need and nothing you don't. Great UI. Wishlist would be track history, maybe last 5 tracks displayed, perhaps an option in the space where the visualiser plays.

There's no list of stations and the 20 some I favorited are gone except two. All that shows are favorites and genre is the same two that's on my fave list. Like it will not move off my faves. Where did all the stations go?! All i see anywhere is groove salad, drone and that Def con thing.

One major issue - on my Galaxy doesn't respond to commands to stop from headphones or lock screen. You have to do it from the notification pane or app itself. Everything else is fine.

Perfect, except doesn't support rotation to landscape mode, only portrait mode. I appreciate app is free, and would gladly pay for it if it supported landscape (horizontal) display,

SomaFM showcased in a neat, clean, and useful app. It offers fans of Big Url, et al, all of the stations in an astutely simple and enjoyable way. Imo, the Dev coded the app much the same as SomaFM presents the music itself. Which is too say that, the focus of the app is on SomaFM, as the focus of SomaFM is the music. Nicely done, Dev! ~ SszZ

Good stuff! Very simple and intuitive. I've missed sitting down to program and having Soma playing in the background. Did not ask for permissions to anything, which is big considering Soma FM's popularity in the hacking community. Haven't had an issue yet.

I've been a SomaFM listener since 2001! They are still my go-to Internet radio. This app complements the service perfectly and not only works well but looks the part also. I now have SomaFM in my car through my phone with this app daily. Great work!
