TuneIn Radio: Music & Sports

I first heard about this app through a friend of mine. I decided to try it out before I bought it. So I got the free version from the App Store in iOS. I didn’t decided to switch over to the paid version. I don’t have any problem with either version. But there are some issues that I do have. One of them is the tech-support that you get from these folks and accessibility issues. Let me explain. Our use voiceover on an iOS device which is the iPhone 6. I’m trying to remove a custom URL that was a favorite station but no longer exist because that link has changed. I have been talking to tech-support through emails and the first thing I said to them was that I was visually impaired and our use a talking screen reader on my phone known as voiceover. I thought that they would understand. Apparently not. I’m not exactly sure how to get them to understand that not everyone uses vision or has vision. So what I had to do with some help from apples accessibility hotline wants to record a video detailing each step that I was doing to remove this custom URL. Also, I had to have the representative write up some text so that way to nine would understand what I was doing. I wish that you had phone tech-support and in accessibility hotline. This would make things a lot easier. I give this app five stars for what it does which is play his music and so much more. But I gave it one star for support. I believe that the support options need to seriously increase and change. Maybe I might change my tune a bit. We shall see with future updates. I haven’t tried diversion for the Mac because I didn’t know existed.

Excellent! Of all my apps.(and I have way too many) This Dev. has updated his app in an attempt to keep things fresh and new with more updates than any other app. I own. Now that says a lot about the Devs. intentions. That being said I don't understand the complaints. This is the best music app I have, and I own several. The customer service is second to none so rather than slam someone's hard earned work, which he/she obviously cares deeply about, why not drop a line to them first? Rather than immediately posting negs? I can appreciate it and many have it coming, but not this Dev. I know all of you have or had apps. that the Devs could care less about. They post it, sell it, and abandon it. Take the money and run, and there's more of them than people who truly care. That's why I felt compelled to post, because this one is one that really cares about the product. There aren't a lot and I hate to see someone that puts their whole into the product become grouped in with the money grabbers. Take Care.... UPDATE: Well, as they say all good things come to an end. I hated to see this app go the route of the subscription. This was and continues to be a great app, and the developers have been improving this app since it’s inception.

Broken App “Favorites”, “Browse” and “Search” features don’t work at all. When you tap any of them all you get is a message that says “An error occurred, please try again!” Well, after weeks and a recent update, they still don’t work. I have some saved stations that still appear in the “Home” tab but I’m unable to search for anything new. Is the app shutting down? Other problems are it doesn’t buffer enough and has problems switching between wifi and non wifi signals. It’s really starting to look like support for the app is vanishing. I guess putting all their eggs in the stupid “Live Sports” basket wasn’t a wise decision after all. I still don’t care at all about sports and doubt I ever will. It’s sad because even as just a radio app TuneIn used to be good. Maybe it’s time to look for a better radio app. My advice to TuneIn is FIX YOUR APP SO IT AT LEAST WORKS! Old Review: 2 Stars As an audiobook app TuneIn WAS the best app period. Now they've decided to focus on stupid sports, worthless talk radio and Podcasts! iOS comes with a podcast app that's actually way better than TuneIn! For live radio it's an ok app. But the the one thing that made it special was the audiobooks feature. Now that it's gone there is NOTHING special about this app. When I contacted TuneIn regarding their reasoning behind this decision all I got was a canned bs response telling me to enjoy the other "great" features of the app. Audiobooks WAS the great feature of the app!!! Whoever the illiterate sports junky is that's now in charge of content just ruined the whole app!
