I tried the "free" Tunein trial offer
I tried the "free" Tunein trial offer. And I keep getting charged even after I disputed the charge with the credit card company. I can't find anywhere on line where I can contact and tell them I only wanted the ONE trial. I can't stop them! Don't even try to use this or you'll get charged with no apparent way to quit!
Deleted the app
Deleted the app! Will never use it again. It once ran 17 commercials in a row! I listened to a football game and instead of reporting the game live, it repeated the same part of the game over and over! The commercials come every 3 minutes! Very disappointing and I will never recommend it to anyone!
Alexa …
Alexa is now using TuneIn as the default radio player so if you listen to a commercial station you have to listen to TuneIn ads as well as the stations.truly awful
What the heck happened to Tunein?
We used to use tune in all the time and loved it. Now it is flaky. It stops and starts randomly and now includes commercials so not only do you have to listen to the stations commercials but in the middle of songs tunein interupts and starts playing their commercials. That is very annoying! One set of commercials is enough. Time to pull out the old radio and listen to local stations on that.
It used to be great….
It used to be great. But unless you pay for a subscription - they interrupt the show you are listening to with commercials, but they don’t pause the podcast and so you miss sections of whatever you were listening to. Very frustrating.
just junk
just junk. Constant commercials. I understand the need for commercials but one entity has 5 commercials per break sometimes running the exact same commercial 4 times in a row. (WGU) I have tried the pay for service but you still get commercials. Commercials on more stations to listen to in tune in. And in some cases regular commercials you pay not to hear.
Tune tunein out
Tune tunein out. You can start out for free, and then it’ll be commercial commercial commercial. It’s like watching network television. Intolerable. Almost any station that you listen to through TuneIn you can download and stream direct commercial free. Bypass tune in. Tune them out.

Used to work with Sonos now just plays adverts.
Easy to use
This is my preferred way to listen to radio from across the world
CRAP app
Appalling app. Used to be great. Now just money making bullshhiit. 30second advert every time I change station and sometimes pauses during the advert so have to press button again. Shhiitt-box app
Unreliable and inconsistent and…
Unreliable and inconsistent and consistently unreliable. I really want to like Tunein more, but it cuts out multiple times a day and I can't even begin to trust it. When it works it's great, but when it doesn't it's frustrating...and I'm getting frustrated alot lately. It'll cut out 6-7 times a day on average. Not what I want to deal with.
BEWARE OF SCAMS.
I have used this app for years to listen to the radio as I'm a radio presenter. This year they took 90 pounds from my account for a premium service which I never ordered or used. They took the money from my google pay account and when I claimed it back they said it was too late. I have reported it to my Amex credit card company who tried to argue it but without success. Now I'm having to complain through the ombudsman. It may be a google pay fraud but Tunein got my money and have refused to return my calls or refund my money. Without legal intention to purchase this service this is actually FRAUD.
Not good at all
I use through Sonos: it reverts immediately to 2 minutes of drivel adverts whenever I tune to a commercial station: SIMPLES turn the volume to zero for that time. Appalling and doesn’t cover what you want either.
Don’t care about users
Tried many times to contact TuneIn to get them to include BBC HD radio stations. No response, no action. Terrible customer service.
Great idea and works (more or less)
Great idea and works (more or less) in most cases.
I love using a one place to listen to different radio stations and even podcasts. Variety and quality is here.
Implementation, though, lacks quite a bit.
There are problems on WWW seeking through some podcasts.
It's not possible to fast switch between favorites. There are always needed additional actions, like going back and scrolling through the list, again and again.
Mobile app used to have a recording option, which got removed globally at some point.
Terrible support.
People (are they people?) at the support don't read with understanding and send back all the time generic messages that assume that I am an idiot, apparently.

Tunein pro app was able to delete my previously recorded non copyright product info from my tablet even though I did not update the app and had the permission turned off. A check of their reviews will show other tune in pro subscribers were also ripped off

After UK block of overseas radio stations, Google home hub became a brick. You failed more than just a court battle. Sony should've lost. I wish Sony bankruptcy with their PS5 please please.
