The Rock FM
- when Walkmans were choice.
New stats tell us that 92 percent of Ethiopians think Smart Phones are now choicer than Walkmans. And who are we to question the opinion of Ethiopians? Who?
We also listened to Norm from Invercargill, who said "I reckon youse should get that thing on my phone. You know, where you listen to The Rock, like some of those other lame stations have?"
We've never questioned Norm before. He's a good sort.
Introducing your new mate
- The Rock App.
"What does it do?" you say. Well, most importantly, you can listen to The Rock with it. But, you can also check out The Rock Chart, download Podcasts, watch our videos, contact us through Facebook, and message us in the studio.
You CANNOT do that on ANY Walkman. No matter how cool 8 percent of Ethiopians think they are. You cannot.
Download it now. It's free, and it won't hurt.
Plus, if you don't, The Boss may get rid of Rog.

After the upgrade I cannot find Magic Nelson 99.2fm... Only Auckland grrrrr. The other thing I don't like about the app(or it may just be Magic Nelson) is how the volume keeps changing... If I the music on mod volume the volume of the ads gives me palpitations, and the newsand weather require volume increases.
What happened? Please fix this app! It was awesome listening to NZ radio in Australia, but now it constantly crashes and needs to be manually restarted everytime we use the phone. Same issues for two phones and multiple cars.
Almost unusable. If I'm lucky I can get through 2 songs before it stops playing and won't resume. Constantly have to restart the app until I give up and play saved songs.
Gets worse with every update recently, now almost unusable. - Doesn't stop playing when Bluetooth speaker disconnected, carries on playing through mobile device (should stop like it used to / every other app does). - Most of the pop up channels don't work if you have limit cellular data setting toggled on (eg. Great Kiwi Roadtrip). - Persistent notification at the top keeps coming back even if notification is forcibly closed. Come on team, this used to be such a rock solid 5 star app!!!
Super glitchy . Have to keep restarting the app everytime it gets stuck. Which is like 5 times in 1 hr. Keeps changing the station I was listening to on restarting.
Good app but lately get an "unexpected error" and takes like 4 or more tries force stopping and starting the app to make it work. Not ideal when trying to drive and want to hear George FM
Wow this review is 2 years old and came to say the same thing again - the alarm doesn't work. Never figured out how to set the music for the alarm either.
This app is great thanks Mediaworks. BUT it won't play Radio Trackside, message appears telling me I'm GEOBLOCKED. Update, all good and now with more stations and feeds. Cheers.!
Now a total waste of time trying to use. App tells you to update but it doesn't. Cannot connect to Chrome cast at all now. Sick of trying.
Major issue with it cutting out and closing due to errors. I've had to restart around 7 times since 6.30am making this app unusable and pointless to use.
Have to restart the app everytime my phone needs to buffer the stream as the play buttons wont work after that, very frustrating Been good for years up till now though!
Having a consistent problem with the app. It stops mid play and won't start playing again unless you close the app and re open
PLEASE UPDATE THIS APP. It crashes all the time and sometimes it wont even play anything on air. Very annoying.
It used to be good but now it is asking me to create an account. I did what it says but it gets stuck in the confirm password portion and just keeps loading. Unfortunately it is useless now.
Downgraded to one star. Was once a great app. Now only problems. Stops playing and can't be restarted. Sometimes (!!!) it works again after a force stop. Doesn't connect to Chromecast most of the times. Overall becomes more and more unusable. Might have to switch back to TuneIn.
