Turn Out Tunein

Turn Out Tunein
If anything drove me away from any product it would be the torture of hearing their adds on the Tunein app.
Talk about controlling the air waves forcing you to submit to lack of talent repetitive obnoxious commercials in order to get the news stations you want to hear is like having your appendix removed by a chainsaw.
Tesla could and should do better.

Worst ever app

This is an ad app, just stream ads very well no interruptions or crashes ( by the way thanks to tune in I know what ads I will not sponsor) but after the ads the app crashes but if you touch any button ads start all over again. I believe that tune in is an advertisement company using using this media to deceive people… they have tons of radio, music, podcasts but most of them won’t work! Totally useless!!!

TuneIn Company Details

I'm talking about the Company Details near the top of the Reviews page for TuneIn. The address is reported as "Townsend Street 139, 94107, San Francisco, Canada". I don't think that address exists.
The address that shows below a search is:
139 Townsend St, San Francisco, CA 94107, United States. It doesn't appear to be anyone's address. CA stands for California in the States. The confusion may occur because CA in Canada stands for Canada in a postal code.

TuneIn promotes FAKE news!!!

I have only had TuneIn for a couple weeks, I wanted to get Tadio 6 BBC. Then I realized that TuneIn also has unreliable, dangerous, even fake news stations like Fox News which contributes to spreading inaccurate, if not completely untrue issues about many countries, especially the United States. It is not supportive of peoples rights, equality and the basic truth.

I will be canceling my membership to TuneIn immediately. Until they can be ethically accountable for the news they spread instead of just focused on what kind of MONEY they can make from the most stations possible than I don’t want to do business with them.

It's absolutely dreadful!

It's absolutely dreadful!! I was using to catch up with the archers, but it only goes back so far, every 30 seconds or so there's a noise/sound that keeps sounding over the top of what I'm listening to and the app is just awful!! I think I'll use YouTube instead. TuneIn is a waste of time!!!

My workplace torture us with this…

My workplace torture us with this service all day long for weeks. Is the most lame radio station that i heard on my life. It has the same commercials that they repeat over and over without shame. The station that my employer picked is the R&B, they play a song after 3k commercials (the same 4 over an over). I wish that this company stops this incompetent service.

Be very careful of the free trial

Be very careful of the free trial. I signed up for free trial hoping for no or fewer ads. The web-site said zero amount to pay, but there was no change in the amount of adverts. I re-read the web-site in more detail and it says that TuneIn have no control over the advertisements! So I cancelled that same day. Now, I find I have been charged £6.64. I have emailed TuneIn and as to date I have received no reply.

App works well but

App works well, but PLEASE, Please, structure your commercials to whoever the station target audience is. Please remove the very very fast talking and noisy spanish speaker on KNBR San Francisco Giants Basebsll games. Very intrusive AND LOUD. Thanks

Lock Doors to Roof : )

Like my review the free version of TuneIn is worth what you pay. It's main feature is obnoxious repetitive ads mostly for TuneIn premium. At first you think this is a technical glitch hearing the same ad(s) over and over and over and over - but these glass-chewing or wanna put your head in a vice commercials are real and intentional. Lock stairway doors leading to the roof if innocents are exposed to this (such as in a business or factory, etc). In case a listener has forgot here's the one they ran over 600 million times: I HEAR YOUR HAVIN GIRLFRIEND PROBLEMS I FEEL BAD FOR YOU SON I GOT 900 PROBLEMS BUT SPORTS AINT ONE! SPORTS! -this was lead in to commercial for TuneIn Sports premium and was incredibly low IQ value.

Too many ads recently

The stupid ads of Stansted express in the UK are unbearable! They interrupt the programmes all the time.
I'll be listening from other sources going forward.

Useful, but Not Always Reliable

TuneIn is a good way to hear your favotite radio station programming away from your area or when the station is doing maintenance or having problems.

They do not keep up with changes in program content. For WYPR, they're several years out of date, so what TuneIn says is playing reflects the show line up 2 changes ago! Just sloppy and lazy.

How to make an app overly commercialized and complicated

Wow! How to take a great app concept and make it overly complicated aod obsessed with monetization. All I wanted was a list of radio stations in Philadephia and impossible to find. Hadn’t used the app in years and I will delete it after writing this review. The tech overlords are ruining everything!

Their ads are unbearable

How about a little variety? Repetition works unless it's so irritating it makes you tune out / vow to never reward bad behavior.

It's the same ads on repeat for months at a time. The current one is a fake "hostage" from Palestine, and although it is for the new year, it has been running for two weeks and today is the 3rd. No idea what the point of it even is because it's so obnoxious with the fake whispering and fake crying that it has the OPPOSITE effect of what the makers intended. Moving on to Sirius XM.

Take A Deal If Offered One

I took a special offer half-price monthly premium deal in July and it's great value for money. Local MLB commentaries and extra premium channels. Some of the people complaining obviously don't read Ts&Cs and are blaming TuneIn for their own stupidity.
