    5.0 out of 5 stars Getting Better
    Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    I've always preferred this over Pandora because the ads are less intrusive (there are no commercials in the radio except for random times when you first open a custom radio station. Even then it only happens once, but most ads are pop-ups within the app itself). There is also no premium version that you have to pay monthly, therefore you are getting best quality already... for free! Also there are not only custom radio stations, but real radio stations all over the U.S. and Canada. Another plus over Pandora is the fact that you can "tag" a station (doesn't matter if it is a real station or not) as your favorite so that you can easily access it instead of searching for it every time or looking in your recently played section. (As far as I know, there is no limit on the amount of favorites that you can have.) The more you use the program (there is an online website at www.iheart.com) the better it gets to know you do that it can predict your search! Even better is the fact that it has gone through so many updates and bug fixes that the layout is not only easier to navigate, but also a better quality app.

    This app is not only incredible because its simple and entertaining. But because my favorite Radio Show is Elvis Duran and he is on there for me everyday. I only get to listen to the show for 45 minutes to an hour and so I rely ok n I Heart to play his shows, later after work I get to enjoy all of it.

    I just appreciate your app and love the system. Thanks for making something as unique and a awesome app that has every single type of music, it has a variety of different elements that make it better than Pandora.

    Thanks again

    P.S. I need to add that the Amazon Customer Service Reps answering the phones (anytime day or NIGHT!) Are so professional, personable, and fast. Every time I've had an issue with my Kindle, Amazon has called me immediately and done everything they could to not only fix the problem but they show you thing's you may not of known about your Kindle and how to maneuver the apps and programs to make it suit your every day needs. They've never got impatient, sarcastic, or acted like someone needing help is a waste of their time. They are genuine and I can't say enough good things about my experiences. I myself am in the Customer Service industry and when someone treats me like there talking to a friend not a customer I want to continue to use and purchase whatever I may need from them and tell all my friends, family or business how great and easy Amazon is.

    Thanks for your hard work and dedication to helping customer

    I'm sure algorithms will change as more and more people come over from a certain app that can't seem to fix all the bugs it has but...Rush, Santana, The Eagles (classic rock) shouldn't be anywhere near Deathpixies (EDM). Other than that, I love this app!

    3.0 out of 5 stars Great app until you realize it only plays a handful of songs on repeat...
    Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    At first, I got this app and absolutely loved it! It was the greatest thing I had ever seen, and I loved that it was completely ad free... notice how that is past tense. After listening to it for a few weeks, I began to realize I was hearing the same song over... and over... and over....... and over, again. There is very little variety on this app. That being said, it is free and it will stream non-stop until you turn it off (unlike the free version of Pandora, which turns itself off when it decides you are no longer listening). My wife uses this app to keep music playing in my sons room while he sleeps, through the night. Unfortunately, it too will shut of, unexpectedly, which creates a silence that almost always wakes him up. This can get annoying when it is 2 in the morning and I have to get up in an hour and a half. All of that being said, it is free. You can't expect to get things for free and them to be as good as something you pay for, all I ask is they put a litttllleee more time and effort into this app.

    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.
