Was great on Windows Phone, new web app version six
Loved this app on my Windows Phone, installed it when I was forced to switch to iPhone (which has been an inferior user experience in almost every way - it can’t even do autocorrect as well as the WP, but I digress), and it was pretty similar throughout the fall of 2017... logged in today, December, to find everything changed. I can’t figure out how to get to my favorite artist-based station (can find artist in search, but there doesn’t seem to be a station option anymore?) can’t find the Recently Played Songs list once I’m playing a station. It’s fine to change things, but not in such an extreme way that it appears so nonsensical to even fairly on-top-of-things users that they can’t easily find the features that are important to them. I don’t know if it was a web app before, but it must be because I don’t recall downloading an update and everything is just a little off, not polished and smooth like a native app would be. I expected that sort of thing on a minority platform like WP, but it’s really disappointing to have a worse experience on a brand new iPhone. Anyway, this app is in need of some major organizing/UI changes before it can match the user experience of previous versions. If I have to put in hours curating my stations (which looks like the direction this is going), as opposed to having a variety of stations that are good, just need minor tweaks to be great, I’d might as well use Pandora!

I've used this app for years to download podcasts. Now it randomly deleted my whole list. Tried to re-download them. It used to take just a minute or two to download a podcast now it takes up to an hour for an hour and a half podcast. I won't be paying for the app any longer. I'm not sure why it's such a failure lately but not worth the money. I'll just move to Spotify for my podcasts.

Subscribers still have to deal with a kind of ad. Commercial blocs are replaced by songs, that you can't skip, stop, and start playing again, without having to listen to the whole thing over and over until the app decides you listened to enough advertisement time to let you start listening to the actual song your chosen station is playing.

It’s all about the money
I really thought I’d struck gold when i-heart radio was commercial free without a fee. Then it happened, they now charge for commercial free and the free station is littered with commercials that are louder and obnoxious in between the music I love to listen to each day. It’s sad it’s about the money and nothing is sacred anymore without a profit motive. The commercials can’t be manually jumped over and they are louder than the volume of the music. They interfere with atmosphere of the songs being played. I manually reduced the volume so I don’t have to listen to the drivel of each commercial played. Then they put you through a torturous video commercial at startup before you get to listen to your favorite music. Honestly, I can’t even remember one of their commercial sponsors except for the monotone , “Cars for kids “ that I muted until it goes over. We are so mercifully pelted with commercials these days that I don’t honestly remember any commercial I hear. If I’m going to by something, I use a search engine to find what I’m in need of and not brainwashed into buying something from an obnoxious repetitive commercial. If anything, I’m repelled by the commercials and boycott their products. Thank you for the opportunity to vent my displeasure with today’s technology held hostage by advertising ad-nauseum. Yuck!

Worst app for podcasts
Literally the clunkiest app I’ve ever used. If you can listen to your favorite podcasts on another app, do it! Unfortunately the Elvis Duran Show is owned by iHeartRadio, so I have to use this app to listen to their replay shows and podcasts. It takes forever just to open the app and get to the show I want to listen to. I keep the app open if I have to pause for a bit, and usually I try to come back later and listen... only to find that the app has closed itself and I have to go and search for the podcast I was listening to. A lot of times it doesn’t save my place, so I have to fast forward to where I was. This app has TRICKED ME into accidentally signing up for their premium, paid version by randomly bringing up the thumbprint authorization even after I had closed out of the ad. I’ve also tried listening to some of my favorite shows “live” and it constantly cuts out. I’ve had this app for years and despite going through many updates, it still is just NOT great. I don’t know how anyone can give it more than 3 stars. Either make my favorite shows available on the Apple podcasts app, or make this stupid app BETTER.

Nothing but commercials
I used to love this app but now all I get is commercials, it never plays the regular program. I did make sure that the app is up to date.

Destroying local stations
IHeart is buying up local radio stations and stripping them of all personality. Pure greed.
-
Unstable
The only streaming app that I have that constantly crashes if I’m using any other app on my phone.

So bloated now; problem exiting from commercial breaks
This used to be such a good app but has become very slow to start. It takes 30 seconds or longer to get a radio station to begin now and used to be the fastest out there. Also, when listening to out of market stations, it has a difficult time re-entering the broadcast after a station break and will continue to play commercials for several minutes requiring manual intervention by stopping the audio and restarting it.

Covid vaccination commercials
Stop the none stop irrelevant vaccine commercials. Their worthless. Its really getting annoying every commercial break is too much. If people haven’t got the jab by now there not going too.. stop the propaganda

Love the app but the love is fading fast. The my favorite station needs some work. It plays the same songs over and over again. For example,I have at least 20+ songs favorited by Michael Jackson yet it only plays the same one over and over. Does that with alot of artists. I'll have alot favorited from all kinds of artists yet most of them I don't hear anything from. Plz retweak it or fix it

Super inconsistent
I use this app because it gives me access to older podcasts than apple’s podcast app does, but this app is absolutely infuriating! Sometimes the controls will be available from the home screen or the control center, but not always. Sometimes the controls have play/pause, skip forward 30s and skip backward 15s, but sometimes it’s play/pause, skip forward 30s and 3 bars that allow you to skip to the next/last podcast and maybe remove it from your list of favorites (can’t remember the last feature). The fact that the app isn’t always recognized as playing means that I can’t use my headphone shortcuts to play/pause like I normally do, and have to go in to open the app if I want to pause, which is super inconvenient when someone comes in to talk to you but you’re listening to a podcast and have to dig around to finally make the app pause and by that point you’ve either missed an indeterminate amount of podcast or you’ve missed half of what the person was saying to you. Overall this seems like something that an app developer whose primary focus is audio should be really on top of, and it is pretty poor development not to have this figured out in my opinion.

This app sucks- we switched from Spotify because iheart radio pays its artists better, but I actually hate this service. There isn't a queue, so if you want to listen a songs in order, you have to manually do it as it comes up. Not only that, but the app is ungodly slow. I can't go into my Playlist with out my phone telling me the app isn't responding. This isn't a slow device issue, because my whole family with many different devices have the same problems.I am going to switch back to Spotify.

WOW
I first got a iHeartRadio as a free app when I first got my mobile device. It was free it was fun and the music was good because I could listen to it anywhere. That was about three years ago, now so much of the free things have been replaced by paid services that if I want to change anything that I had set up three years ago I can’t do it unless I pay them their fees to change anything on my accounts. You really have to love progress. On top of that because my mobile device is constantly logged on it doesn’t recognize the passwords I set up before they changed their site so now when I go to login online to try and change things it doesn’t recognize me. It’s a blast trying to reset my passwords and prove I’m not a freaking robot, great job iHeartRadio. I think it’s pretty funny that I have to prove I’m not a robot to reset my password but they can send automated email responses to folks. I’ve had these kind of problems before and they’ll send a generated email that says hey look up these corresponding posts on the forums to see if they match your problems. It’s all fun and games until the autistic guy wants to talk to a person then everybody hides behind a computer screen, if you find this funny awesome, if you don’t, fix it. It’s just one guys opinion.

The app will play songs instead of playing live radio when you are listening to local channels. I always miss parts of my favorite morning show. When they broadcast local news, I Heart plays its own random music instead. It keeps repeating the same 2 or 3 commercials over and over that my station doesn't play. It also plays songs from a different genre then my station plays. JUST STICK TO WHAT THE LIVE RADIO PLAYS!!! I bought a mini radio to carry at work instead!!!
