TuneIn Reviews 

SUCKS!!! Doesn't have just a few commercials per hour but many. Sometimes over 3 minutes. I wish there was an alternative.

Horrible programming. Someone should be fired. Same commercials playing 5 times in a row. It's now 6.
Someone needs to read this and fix it!

I didn't ask for it and don't want it. Another example of customer abuse.

Considering going back to an old radio just to get rid of tunein.
Death by adverts. change radio station, more tunein advserts followed possibly by radio station adverts.
Now they have added in "This is tunein"
I just want to listen to the radio!

Tune in premium came with my Tesla Model-Y 2023-24. Absolutely the only bad part of my car. Endless repeating ads on most stations notwithstanding they advertise “Premium” being mostly ad free. Did not renew my subscription when the free monthlong subscription ended. Bought Sirius XM on my phone and just connected through Bluetooth to my Tesla. Works like a charm and music is great without ads. Highly recommend!

Fox News Radio on Tunein sucks!!! To many commercials and the most annoying thing is it constantly goes back 5 seconds and plays the same thing you just heard again and again!!! So stupid!!!

TuneIn has the worst interface I've encountered in 17 years. All icons are curated by Tunein with NO ability to remove icons or configure like an iPad or any smartphone. Drag and drop? Forget it, Custom screens? Not here.
Content selected is woefully inadequate. Poor selection of podcasts, user hostile interface, incredibly complex and busy. Has CNN and MSNBC simulcasts, but not FOX news or business, only the radio version.
I would never pay for this service, unfortunately on a Tesla, this is what you get. Worst part about the car is TuneIn.
The entertainment display on my Accord, via Android Auto is far superior.

New app is a country and western/pop advertising platform. I don't want to listen to Garth Brooks, Nation Rocks, or Bandit Classics, ballads or anything else just the stations I choose.
Yet it puts these first, then in my recently played (I never did) and my favorites, (No they are not).
Basically its crap, go to a different player

TuneIn used to be my “go to” radio app. No more. The latest version bug-ridden mess, just junk pure and simple. I pay for premium and I still get ads! It doesn’t play with Alexa. Lately, it’s barely audible on start up. I am looking for alternative. Any suggestions?

TuneIn makes it impossible to cancel a renewing subscription. Application links don't work in Chrome or Firefox. Go to deadend pages or to messages like "You are subscribed to TuneIn Premium. Contact support for more information about your subscription." with no option to cancel. Support tells you to do the same thing when responding by email. Totally ticked off with the freaking waste trying to cancel.

I sat through 7.12 minutes of ads.. I get it ads pay bills but 7 minutes before the first song was played. Ridiculous. TuneIn was my go to for gym/workout music but not if it is going to 7 minutes of ads then 3 songs, one of which was cut in on by, you guessed it. AN AD!!! I have deleted the app. And no I don’t want premium.

I am using the free version. I was debating upgrading but the price, given what the app does, is prohibitive. My other issue is that the free version ads are a bit ridiculous. The ads click on sometimes during an active play when I am listening to a baseball game. And today, the same ad kept repeating. It played 15-17 times in a row during one break and then 8 times 5 minutes later. Very annoying.

I had for more than 5 years a station which I listened mostly. In the begin of 2023 it struggled with breaking down many times. I reported it to TuneIn. They didn’t find any mistake. After 3 weeks of painfully reports suddenly it worked again. 2 weeks. Than this station was not available in my country any more. That’s the way TuneIn helps customers. They kill the problem by taking it out of reach. Disappointed

This apps commercials have gotten so intrusive and ill-timed that it's virtually impossible to hear a whole song. Time to find another streaming app. I don't mind commercials, but they are at least 8 times an hour, especially with the NBA playoffs.

Nothing like listening to a radio station on TuneIn, hearing a great song then BAM! they interrupt the song for an ad. The commercials when you start up the app are bad enough, but having ads INTERRUPT the stream is the final straw.

I've deleted the app from my Android. Shame...TuneIn USED to be a good app.

So unfortunate that tunein appears to be harvesting stations from my sonos (and I suspect my personal music) but, I could be wrong. The stations I added to my sonos list yesterday are unavailable today. I want to subscribe just to hear my stations again but, based on the reviews, do not trust tunein with my cc# and, as things go, the cost of listening to radio stations will likely increase. How is tunein allowed to harvest and charge for station access (and there are multitudes) that were once free? When stations were free, what was lacking that made a tunein necessary? What are the incentives for radio stations to join or do they have a choice? Have spent days but can't find reasonable answers online. Does anyone know the non-legalize answers? (I suspect there is/was a loophole somewhere.) The number of stations that I listen to have become smaller and smaller and smaller. I shudder to think that tunein will ensnare all stations at some point - it appears to be headed that way. I suspect tunein's "free" stations is a joke amounting to a horrible trojan horse. I deeply appreciated and cherished my chosen music each and every day for 10 years. For the most part, my chosen music has vanished with few choices available. While I have not signed into tunein (trust issue), I've learned that the constant ads are a strong indication that stations are under the umbrella of tunein. Now I worry if sonos will become obsolete or eaten by the trojan horse at some point in the future. (NOTE - when a company does not offer a way to communicate with them, and if you are able, do not do business with them.) Clearly there is something I am missing so, if you have any answers or can assist, please let me know. As a senior on a fixed income adding a cost for a streaming service is financially challenging. I sorely miss my radio stations but, most importantly, the ability to CHOOSE radio stations.

why would i ever listen to a site that mispronounces the musician Dizzy Gilespie’s name???? hearing this ignorant mistake over and over again on the tunein ads is nauseating. where’s the ad editor? ugh

Ads ads ads. Worst music app out there. Just buy a radio and thank me later. Tune in is not worth it.

I have use TuneIn for years but since awhile back TuneIn has adding alot of ads when streaming. This is bad and i will remove all use of this service. I know many of us users thinks the same. Bye Bye TuneIn! (Lucky there is many other streamingservice who can fill the place of TuneIn)

Horrible company profiting off just being an unnecessary middleman and annoying people who just want to listen to their favourite radio stations by overlaying their own advertisements!

I used to have a bedroom clock with Alex which would play Classic FM for me when asked. Now I have a Google clock it uses ‘Tune In’ and whenever I play Classic FM I don’t just receive the usual commercial breaks, I also get adverts from TuneIn overlayed.

This TuneIn company should be banned off of the market and their relationship with Google products should end immediately.

What a horribly vacuous and leech like good for nothing excuse for a company.

Thanks for ruining my bedtime listening of relaxing classics TuneIn.
