5.0 out of 5 stars Decided to try after hearing them featured on the radio
Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2014
Verified Purchase
I also decided to give listening to the iheartradio feature after seeing them featured online-through one of the local radio stations in the Washington d.c. area. Anyhow, as in Pandora, iheartradio carries a wide range of music and stations to listen to. It is hard for me to choose whether I like Pandora or iheartradio more due to both apps containing a diverse range of music. Additionally, iheartradio has played music that has been a major mood booster for me during times that my faith and trust have been tested. I also like that iheartradio recommends other stations to try as I’m listening to their music. I have over 30 music stations in my iheartradio profile due to my diverse tastes in music. For instance, the don’t stop dancing radio station came into my awareness after iheartradio featured it to me as a result of the different music I have already listened to on their site. The number of stations and musicians that I have featured in my iheartradio profile could take up another review. However, here is a sampler of the stations/artists that the iheartradio app and website have allowed me to save in my profile; Madonna, pet shop boys, deppeche mode, tiesto, armin van buuren, calvin harris, 2am ambient, pitbull,dancin 90s, Britney spears , adam lambert, euro-dance, Darren hayes, foofighters, the 90s unglued, one republic, lasgo, Swedish house mafia, ellie Goulding, Fergie, robin Williams and many more that could take up the length of the minimum words required for another amazon review. As you can see, the app and website of iheartradio is perfect for those who enjoy a wide range of preferences in music.

I like the variety of stations and podcasts on IHeart. However, the sleep timer should be moved from under settings to an option on the play screen so that one doesn't have to leave the play screen to set the timer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Low vision user
Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2022
Verified Purchase
I am a low vision user, and I have problems in the past with some applications. This one works well with voice over Apple and I’m glad I have it. It gives me a lot more things to choose from and listen to since listening to me, is critical rather than cable television. Even if you can see, I’m sure you will find it useful and a great source of information and able to listen to the same stations in a matter where you are rather than waiting for a local signal. I am using Siri to write this, so I apologize and advance for any incorrect words or sayings. I hope this helps you in your search and thank you for taking the time to read my review.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Access to Music, Lousy UI
Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2014
Verified Purchase
Reviewing this app is challenging because one must distinguish between content, recommendations, and application's features, functionality, and user interface in both web and mobile versions. Overall, I like the system but hate the app. Here are the details.
What I Like:
- Huge content library that enables one to explore and discover lots of new music
- Good album recommendations algorithm provided by EchoNest identifies relevant new albums to explore
- Excellent Autoplay feature provides highly relevant new tracks (i.e., recommended tracks)
- Web interface is very usable, providing intuitive navigation to the various features

What I Dislike:
- Mobile app's functionality is brittle; it freezes periodically, and can be slow to respond to user navigation. Buffering seems insufficient; momentary breaks in WiFi connectivity seem to cause major hiccups, such as "hunting" for the appropriate volume level or freeing the app.
- Mobile app's features are imbalanced; on the one hand, it provides a great many choices for user behavior (social aspects, exploration and discovery aspects, recommendations at the album and track level, etc.) but on the other hand overwhelms the user with a great many options while failing to prioritize the important use cases by means of appropriate defaults and user customization etc. For example, I have zero interest in seeing what albums or collections are "hot" in my neck of the woods, yet this is shoved in my face as the default content in the left-side start-up screen menu that I cannot configure
- Much of the app interface's flow seems to differ from that of the web interface, which is confusing
- Transparent or "disappearing control" UI design in web interface, while trendy these days (e.g., Gmail folder scroll bar) , is a pain; scrolling bar disappears unless you hover directly over it, and since two-finger scrolling only works within the dynamic frame, you end up doing a lot of repetitive actions or hunting around to surface the scroll bar on a basic UI nav function that should be something you don't even have to think about.

1.0 out of 5 stars USED TO be may favorite app. Now, it doesn't work.
Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2015
Verified Purchase
I use this a lot (or rather I used to). It was my favorite Kindle app. The app has an alarm that turns on my favorite morning station at 7am every weekday. I would typically switch to a different station at 9 and continue listening (as I worked around the house) until lunch time. (Both are News/Talk stations). My 4 kids use it on their Kindles and are all experiencing the same problem ("Daaaad... my Kindle isn't working right...").

Several updates ago (about a month or so), it just stopped working. When it does turn on (it's not reliable as an alarm anymore), it will play for a few minutes and then just stop playing. I have to close the app (or stop the station) and then hit play again. It will play for a few minutes then just stop playing again...

I LOVED this when it worked. Other than iHeartRadio and Audible, I don't really use my Kindle Fire HD. Being able to listen to books or the radio while I do other things is important to me, but the latest version(s) just don't work.

I tried another station, and it was the same, so it's not the station. The previous version didn't do it, so I don't think it's my Kindle (besides, other radio apps and Audible all work fine). If I switch to PC, it seems to work (no perfectly, but mostly) fine. I'm sure it was an unintended consequence of a new feature or fixing some other problem, but THIS APP IS COMPLETELY UNUSABLE NOW. :(
