Love Love Love this iHeartRadio App!! Most relevant app Ive used so far for my LG Stylo 2 to download songs, make playlists & having the freedom to listen to my favorite music whenever and wherever I want! Literally every other app Ive downloaded, the search results never would bring anything up or the songs and/or artists would be people I've never heard of before! Thank goodness for this iHeartRadio app!! Its seriously become my go-to calm down method. No more meditation apps. Lol Just download the iHeartRadio stations yall!!

Still needs work with settings I must sound like a broken record at this point. It'd be very helpful if there were a few streaming settings. At the very minimum a high quality/low quality option; but it would be amazing if you could choose from a variety codec and bitrate streams. Similar to the TuneIn Radio app. As far as podcasts go, there should be better seeking or a 30 second skip/10 second rewind like the Google music app. If these were implemented the app would be perfect! Edit: thanks for the response!

Love my radio! The app works really well, and I love that it works so much better than Pandora. I don't have to pay subscription fees just to for able to have it play in the background. The only issue is that sometimes it seems like the songs skip. So I have to close the app and wait for a while to be able to listen again. UPDATE- it seems that they have fixed the skipping problem!!! There's more ads now, bit all definitely worth it!!

Very Glitchy I used to LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this app until this new update with the option to pay for better service and better options. Ever since, it has been very glitchy that it stops playing and looks like it is loading but never continues. I have to stop what it is supposed to be playing and hit play again for it to work for a bit but the cycle continues. I have also tried uninstalling and installing it, but the issue persists! Please fix soon!!!

Easy to use ..love it Love the app. Can listen to anything create my own station. Two down falls though, freezes sometimes during buffering or changing stations. Biggest problem I have is dont like or dislike song because it replays the same song over again. Love the new up grade can make my own stations with all the songs I love

Flawless app. "iheart radio" has made no mistakes on this one!!! Crashes NONE AS OF YET. I'M on HTC Loving my "iheart radio" ALMOST as much as the real f.m. radio, ALMOST, BUT WORKS PERFECT. Nothing beats that true FM! They might clone/copy the iheart app. However they can't copy, clone nor imitate the real(f.m.signal).......... It's because there ain't nothing like the real thing!

Hi Jesse, thank you for providing feedback. You can enjoy 15 second rewind and 30 second skip feature on podcasts when listening to podcasts on iHeart.com. I will pass your idea to the right people and hopefully we can get this implemented on Android soon! Love my radio! The app works really well, and I love that it works so much better than Pandora. I don't have to pay subscription fees just to for able to have it play in the background. The only issue is that sometimes it seems like the songs skip.

We're glad to hear you're loving iHeartRadio! If you ever have ideas on how we can improve iHeartRadio we're always listening. You can send us a message by going to iHeartRadio.com/AndroidHelp in your browser. Good music Great app, I would give it 5 stars if you were able to make a playlist without having to pay 5.99 a month, otherwise, keep up the good work! Oh yeah, final word, got the new update, app still stops playing songs after the 3rd or 4 th song
MUSIC is life! Music is my life. "iHeartRadio" is the best music app in the world! My phone came with slacker radio app and it's always freezing up. The worse part is that I can't even uninstall slacker. It will only allow me to force it to stop or disable it and if I try to disable it, it says it would mess up some of my other apps. Thank you iHeartRadio. You are a lifesaver!
Thank u for immediate response. Updated, can't wait to put iHeartRadio radio back to 5 stars and have it back at the top of my used data list. Update fixed nothing. Still shuts off after a couple songs or just freezes. You guys ruined an excellent ap in the pursuit of another dollar. Thanks!

Hi T, sorry you're having trouble. Could you please try updating to the latest version of the app? If you still need help, send an email to [email protected]. Premium? NO MUSIC FOR FREE!!!! I have been using iHeartRadio since Yahoo music was something big. Now, I barely have access to my radio stations. I am not happy that this many years of dealing with ads and everything else has resulted in a 30 day free trial of we don't give a damn.
Very good Not worth my paying, YET.... WHEN the app has the lyrics to EVERY SONG, it will get 5 stars. Plus, maybe have some more music and events for those of us who like classic music, not the junk that's passing as music today. A tie in with PBS perhaps? It could give corporate some extra tax breaks AND get more listeners to the app and radio stations.
Too many ads!!! What the hell I heart radio. Just cause you're trying to make more money you keep putting way too many damn ads, I can't even enjoy the music! Every other channel you have to listen to about 3 ads before you can listen to any songs, it's rather irritating. I'm close to erasing this app and finding another music app
Never Miss a Beat All the different genres under one app and real radio stations.You'll never get bored listening to music. I tried the other app, you know the one with the name that goes with with box, their songs always repeat, boring!...After all wrote, I still switched to another app with those funny eyes. Well as you can see, I'm back. We always come back. Nothing beats iHeart
I now have to pay? I installed the newest upgrade which promised unlimited skips and other features. Now I have to subscribe to one of 2 plans to get the features. Shame on the deception! I can't find the price, they want to force me into a "free" trial, which means I will probably forget to cancel. I tolerated the ads to keep this free. I'm disgusted.
Fix the alarm!! I like to listen to the radio when I first wake up. BUT for some reason the alarm doesn't go off. All I get is a notification saying you missed an alarm. I've already checked the on or off switch. I plug it in to charge while sleeping. And I put the volume high up. Please fix!
Worthless While it is great when it works, most of the time, however, it doesn't. If you want to listen to music using data, good luck. The songs will skip and only work for the last 10 to 5 seconds. This will also continue to the next song. This problem just keeps getting worse. If this isn't fixed soon, I'll be leaving this app and use something that works.

Hi Johnathan, sorry you're having trouble. Could you please send a message to [email protected]? Great app. But Iheartradio plus is a disaster. Hey iheartradio, please fix this problem soon. It just happened ever since you came out with the new app and has not worked right since. I since discontinued my trial because of this issue. Even your two songs that input for me doesn't work.
It keeps cutting off with other apps I love iHeart radio but now when I try to listen to music and use either facebook or Pinterest, the radio station itself crashes but the app is still open. I'm usually in the middle of a great song when it cuts off and I have to load the station again. I also think it would be great if they add feedback on the app, so we can easily report bugs.

Hi Alyx, we definitely want to look into this for you and make sure the issue you have is corrected. Visit iHeartRadio.com/AndroidHelp when you have time to send us a message and we'll help you out. Look forward to hearing from you! Good app for talk radio App works well except for a few time that it quits playing. There needs to be a paid app to get rid of the stupid video commercial nonsense. As long as the fee is only a few dollars a year ill buy it. I do NOT use this for music. I enjoy learning something instead. ......so now with the update why is the subscription fee not made apparent before you start the trial? I want to know before I start the trial period.
Don't install new update New update is terrible. I have lost access to songs and radio I used to have for free. I can only play local radio. Access to songs and search will not play. The supposed free features require payment. Use another music app if you want advertised features to actually work and be free. Appears to be glitchy with untrue advertising.

Hi, thanks for providing feedback. iHeartRadio still offers the same free features. If you're having trouble with the app or would like us to clarify anything, please send a message to [email protected]. What happened to my favorite app?!! Out of all the years I've been a user of this app, I've never had a problem with it until the last few updates. It literally sucks now because songs and broadcasts constantly stop and I can't enjoy listening. Makes me wonder if this is a ploy to get listeners to switch over to unlimited? If so, not fair!
I can't find a way to skip songs 'tho I'm supposed to be able to. Other than that little problem I 💙💜💕 it and reccommend it to everyone. Love the many stations snd the ability to save songs too. Great app--everyone knows that!
LG V10 Very easy to use. No problem finding the stations I wanted. I think you will love it also!!! I WISH THERE WAS A WAY I CAN GET THE PROGRAM TO PLAY A SPECIFIC ALBUM,! THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM FIRST SONG TO LAST.. IN ORDER!!
Stays on in the background After I'm finished with the app I can't completely close it until it has remained idle for approx. 5 minutes. The heart symbol stays on in my notification bar and it will not close out on demand.
Defect ridden no quality control The application does not work and says no internet connection (yes my internet is fine). This defect makes the App useless. Does iHeartRadio do any testing on their application before releasing software? I hope upper management is reading this and asks themselves the same question. Update: They fixed this defect finally after about 2 months. That's embarrassing. Someone should be fired

Hi Sherlock, we're working on a fix for this. In the meantime, try clearing the Data from the App settings along with powering your device off for 30 seconds. If you still need help, please email [email protected].
Edit: We our best to catch bugs before a release but sometimes things slip through. We have a fix ready for our next update! Needs fixing It's a decent app but even though I have the setting to play the last station I listened to on it decides to pick stations of a completely different type. That and also it stops playing songs after 3-5 and I have to restart the app which then decides to play a random station
Former Pandora customer. I will never use Pandora again. The ads get worse and worse every time I open the app. Today I opened pandora and I finally said screw this. I unsubscribed and closed my account. Moments later I found I Heart radio. It is the best music app you will ever find. Huge thanks to the IHEARTRADIO TEAM!!!!!!!!!
Repetitive The music is great when it wants to work but if you like a song it basically plays that song over and over, I thought it would have more variety. Currently I can't even get the app to work so I guess it doesn't matter anyways.
Why does Power 105.1 not play live radio anymore? Just a weak pandora list. IHeartRadio is trash been going and with cust. Service for to repeat the same dumb questions, No it doesn't work. You all have a nerve charging for this garbage. Its been months. Live radio doesn't play or it says you have no Internet connection. I wish I could rate -5 stars.

Hi D, thanks for providing feedback. Could you send a messagel to [email protected] and let us know the time frame you were listening to the station? We can look into this for you. All around greatness I have always loved I Heart Radio and recently with the new features it has made the bond grow that much stronger!!! Easy to use, never forget a song again with the new save feature, and access to millions of songs!! How could you not love it!!
Play until I say pause.... Thanks Now it plays a song or two then stops. Sucks when I jump in the shower or working out. Have to run over to my phone and start it again. Just play until I close it.

Hi Jason, it sounds like you might be using Battery Saver mode which limits background data. When you leave the iHeartRadio app or your screen turns off background data is disabled. This prevents iHeartRadio from streaming. Learn more by reading our FAQ http://www.iheartradio.com/AndroidBattery. Mostly consistent The genre DNA works pretty well most of the time. Get am occasional WTF, but life does that every day anyway. If the configure out why it occasionally just stops, the app would rock.
One Dangphine App I could not want for a better app for all my radio stations... This is one of my tools to keep informed and motivated. Worth way more than FREE. No bugs...Just hugs....and #NODAPL
Going downhill. Used to be a great app, but recently I've seen a disturbing trend with the artist radio, it seems to never play the artist you want and play artists that are not even the same type of music. For instance, I searched Metallica for the past 3 days and have yet to see a song by them play but I have seen the same Rob Zombie song 5 times.
Broken - Fixed? Used to be great and work just fine. Yesterday it stopped working and consistently fails to open. Used to be one of my most used apps. *solution?* I deleted the app and re-downloaded it. This seems to have fixed the problem though all my stations and settings are gone. I'm leaving the first part in case others are having the same issue.

Hi Grim, could you please send a message to [email protected] so we could look into this for you? Great It helps build a wide variety. They don't post political beliefs, which is great. Only downside is that I've thumbed down one band about 5 times and it still tries to play them. Other than that, great app
Thank you This app allows me to listen to live radio when i want in house or at work. And I can always flip over to a commercial free station when im sick of em.
First time user After trying several others this has been the best! Tons of songs and so far no skipping or lag at all. Shoulda came here first but figured with the brand name a charge had to be in there somewhere, still looking for it, haha, please don't change!
It's so-so I really enjoyed this app when I lived away from home as I could listen to most of my Detroit stations. I'm still very PO'd that 88.7 CIMX and 93.9 CIDR FM are NOT available, that's just down right f-ed up.
Great with some minor annoyances I hate that unlimited skips are unavailable except for with a paid premium. I also dislike that not ALL of the songs by am artist aren't represented. The recording artists should know what hits and what doesn't.
