I am an OG….. Jul 3, 2022

By Coach Mac 12

It was Christmas in 2005 that I bought radio’s and Subscriptions for my brother and Dad for gifts. I had already bought mine and became a LIFETIME SUBSCRIBER, not knowing even if Sirius would make it? The BIG DAY, January 6, 2006 was coming, and I was ready……Sirius was in competition with XM, and Howard Stern was about to MAKE Sirius Satellite Radio THE PLACE TO LISTEN TO ANY AND ALL RADIO CONTENT! Since my original investment, I have continued to be a FAITHFUL AND HAPPY Listener, adding various radio’s and subscriptions along the way! I do wish that SiriusXM did have a package that was a little cheaper for all of us that made that Original blind leap……maybe even 7% less to anyone that signed at anytime during 2007 year, THE ARRIVAL OF HOWARD…….the man that FOREVER changed how we listen to the Radio! Regardless, I AM A LIFER, and after just spending 46 HOURS, 2,750 MILES…..leaving Lake Placid, NY, 1:30 PM Thursday, straight down to Tulle, Florida, hook up a Trailer @ 8:30 AM, and back on the Road @ 9:15 AM, and again only stopping for Fuel, arrived home @ 11:3O AM, yesterday, Saturday… SIRIUS WAS ON ALL 46 HOURS!!!! I can’t imagine making that trip with regular am/fm?????? Anyhow, here’s to another 17 years as a HAPPY CUSTOMER!!!! Thanks SiriusXM, MAC more
Impossible to listen to Podcasts Mar 4, 2022

By ajsidney

I have multiple subscriptions and frankly only have SXM because of Howard. However, every single time I pause a live show for more than a minute, it “loses connection” and drops. This is not a wifi issue btw. That requires me to reopen the player, fast forward to the point in the show and start listening again! This was not an issue a year ago. Secondly, I started listening to podcasts on SXM app. this year. Every single time I pause an episode the same thing happens noted above, and even worse some ADVERTISEMENT for some Entertainment Now channel 790 repeatedly breaks in and then interrupts a show, and begins blaring an ad for this stupid channel. This is every day up to a dozen times a day. The show is completely dropped because of this Ad! Considering I pay for uninterrupted shows (minimal normal podcast advertisements are understood) and no SXM ADS I expect to listen to anything on the App without eardrums being completely blown out by the sound level of the ad, and being irritated beyond belief that I cannot listen to anything that is talk or podcast without constant dropping out or being interrupted. Fix this error ASAP, it has been going on for at least 6 months. This is making me consider dropping all my subscriptions, you know I can stream music anywhere. more
Serve a 2nd vehicle for free, or use as a fix for an obstructed antenna Jun 23, 2018

By RV Sciencephile

By purchasing the high end SiriusXM service for one satellite receiver, you get this excellent streaming capability as a free bonus. If you have a smartphone with a decent data plan, you don’t need to increase satellite charges by adding a subscription for the other vehicle(s). Get it for one, then use your phone to stream the web based service thru the Bluetooth or cable connection to the audio system in your additional vehicle(s). It’s a terrific bargain for me, as I have 2 cars and two RV’s, and I can get full channel service for all four with just one subscription. Also, for those with vehicles (like my truck camper) that have difficulty getting a clear usable obstruction-free sat signal for their partially shadowed antenna, you can subscribe to service for the vehicle radio, then when in conditions when your antenna isn’t reliable, switch to using your smartphone for streaming to that radio from the same sat account via cell service providers. Thanks SiriusXM for offering this excellent, flexible service at a fair package price! more
Superior radio stations with the best DJs Sep 8, 2022

By car1bb3an

I have been a long-time subscriber to Sirius, XM Radio, and now SiriusXM. The variety has grown from excellent to absolutely amazing over the years. Sync’d up to Apple CarPlay, it provides far better variety than the SiriusXM offering from my satellite enabled factory system and if they decide to integrate with Siri, this will only add to the “can’t live without” product. My wife and I listen to quite a variety from 70s to now music. SiriusXM provides us the options needed for different genres, settings, and moods throughout the day. My top picks are Lithium, Tuff Gong Radio, Pops, The Bridge, and Hits 1. With the ability to jump over to Howard Stern or catch up on sporting news, I truly do not need any other source for listening enjoyment. The app is very easy to navigate. It provides better quality streams than other music services I’ve tried out and the constant addition of specialty broadcasts, interviews, mash-ups, dedicated artist channels and more, add to the plethora of variety available to any type of listener. more

Great source to explore different music of all kinds and constant music of the genre I like best. Still exploring all options offered beside music. The comedy anytime is awesome IMO the cost is well worth it. Having SXM on the car stereo, home stereo, phone, tablet, bluetooth, anywhere I am seamless transition from device to device nothing is ever missed. Not sure if ECHO or SXM app is the problem when linking but this needs to be improved. It is a headache and not worth the time to link. more
Great App Feb 8, 2019

By TaxisLatka

NEW REVIEW (Feb. 2019): Another quick fix to the annoying download issue. Great response. App is back to working great. OLD REVIEW (Feb. 2019): The new update is awful. It’s now back to the same issue of downloaded shows not opening from the last place they were being listened to. You can listen to a downloaded show for two hours and then when you go back to the app instead of it saving your place and continuing playing where it was, it goes back to some previous point at the very beginning of the show. Very annoying and it’s happened before. Thought they had it worked out but now this issue is back. Please fix as soon as possible as this makes the app almost unusable. Wish I never updated. Should’ve stuck with the last version that actually worked. Very angry. OLD REVIEW (2018): Love the updated app. It’s the best. The addition of video is pretty cool, but the Stern Shows are loaded fast (usually same afternoon). Had an issue with holding place of downloaded shows, but it appears to have been resolved. A+ more
SiriusXM, it’s not just for the car! Mar 31, 2022

By The Gloved1

We became SiriusXM listeners back at the end of 2012 when we bought our first car that had it. At the time, living in S.E. Missouri, the regular radio stations were horrible…..especially if you liked modern rock and modern metal! Eventually we moved to the southern tier of NY state and the radio stations here were no better. Once we got the app, we now listen all the time at the gym, out on the deck for BBQ get togethers and I’m in the process of opening a Microgreens business and listening to SiriusXM through the app during the shop setup and testing has been awesome. Stations 34 through 41 are the usuals….mainly 37 & 41. Being an old bass head from my late 80’s Cali days with the slammed street trucks, I sometimes do throwback days on 43. The selections that are offered are awesome! Life without it would be like “Masterbating with a cheese grater….sure it can be fun and exciting for awhile, but then it becomes dull and painful!” That one was for The “King of Douchbaggery” himself…..Lord Grant Random! more
No landscape mode; update horrible for RadioClassics Jun 7, 2018

By PetiteFrog

UPDATE: Thanks for adding the landscape mode back - although why on earth was it removed in the first place??? I have upgraded my rating from 1 star to 3 stars. What would give it one more star - display the times of the previously played RadioClassic shows. I have no idea what played when. You provide the option to listen to earlier shows, but the segments aren’t descriptive enough so I am having to go through all of them to find the show I want to listen to. PREVIOUS REVIEW: As others have stated, not having the ability to view using landscape mode is very annoying. However, not nearly as annoying and useless as what the upgrade has done to the RadioClassics station. Before the update, I could see all the programs that played in the past 5 or 6 hours and select one of those shows - easily. Now —- you can’t see the time a previous show was played and have to guess which item it is in the viewable segments. Viewing all the segments is nearly impossible. No way to easily see and select earlier segments. The upgrade has made the RadioClassics stations impossible to navigate. more
Very slow to start playing Feb 18, 2021

By Straight Answers

While I love the Sirius stations, the mobile app is problematic. Whereas Pandora almost never has any issues starting up and playing whether on WiFi or not, Sirius is horrible! 9 times out of 10 when I want to start listening I tap the station I want, from my favorites, and the little play arrow turns into a circle that spins for a very long time. Like, some days it does that for hours without ever playing. Yes, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app. Yes I have closed the app and reopened. That has never changed anything. It is still very much a pain and very unreliable as to whether I will actually get to listen to anything via the app. On average I’d say it takes 15 -20 minutes to get it to start playing. This is regardless of whether I am in my office right by my wifi modem or out on 5g service. Just as problematic either way. Find out how Pandora is so reliable and do that, please. Otherwise, I won’t renew when this subscription expires. more
God help you if . . . . . . Update Jun 1, 2018

By Queenbeedlg

Like me, you use your iPad in landscape mode. I’ve changed every relevant setting I can think of to get this app to load in landscape mode (as it once did prior to one of the latest updates) but, alas, to no avail. This is so much of a problem that saving the $20 a month I pay for this service is under serious consideration. It’s too much money to pay for the inconvenience of having to turn my iPad 90 degrees to read the app. I would have given it less than one star had that been possible. Update: I’m happy to report that the people at Sirius were listening and have addressed this landscape vs. portrait mode problem. It’s nice to know that there are still some companies out there who listen to their customer’s complaints and respond to them positively, especially in such a short period of time. Happily, I will not have to cancel my subscription, and I can recommend this app without reservation at a solid 5 stars. more

Constantly stopping, requiring me to get my phone out to restart. This is very inconvenient if I'm working and my hands are dirty or if I'm driving. I've tried different phones with different carriers but it's the same story. Sometimes when it stops it will start up at a entirely different part of the podcast or whatever I'm listening to. This happens live and when listening to the On Demand selection. This app is so frustrating I'm ending my free trial early. more
Sep 20, 2022

By Ed Harty

Terrible app!!! It doesn't matter if I use Wi-Fi or cell network or which phone or tablet I use as the app just stops after a few minutes. This occurs with Android versions 8, 10, 12 and 13. None of the devices are set for restricted battery. Sometimes, the audio restarts on its own but most times I have to stop what I am doing and open the app to get audio again. The latest version of the app is by far the worst. more
Sep 21, 2022

By Brooke Browne

Crashing, stopping, no matter the connection. I use tune2air when I'm driving and the app will crash, other times it will stay open but stop playing. I also connect via Bluetooth to a Marshall speaker. Some days it's ok, others it's impossible to keep using it. Driving while messing with my phone is so dangerous when all I want is my music to stay on. more

App always drops connection and have to close and reopen to get it back. I was using it while riding my motorcycle but this issue makes it useless. Also has an issue with skipping back a few seconds that gives it an authentic feel when listening to classic vinyl. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but nothing has helped. Going back to my old mp3 player. more
Sirius Spyware? Aug 4, 2022

By W-T-F-???

The last few updates have made the Sirius app unreliable. I have an iPhone 12 Pro on iOS 15.6. I mainly use the app in the morning to listen to news episodes from the previous day. It’s a crapshoot if it will populate all the screens; Discover, Favorites, & Search usually take at least a minute to fill in all the boxes if they do it at all and frequently generate Error 2010. Retry rarely succeeds. Sometimes Favorites populate with the stations but don’t show what’s currently playing on the stations although you can tap in one and listen to it. Search gives Error 2010 the most. Sometimes it displays search results as black boxes then pops up the error. I’ve tried running the app with and without wifi. Thought maybe they did something to make it not work with a VPN so I turned that off. No difference. Rebooted the phone numerous times. Rarely, the app will start up correctly and everything works the way it’s supposed to, at least for a while. But it can and does break itself even after a successful startup, searching for episodes and listening to one. Then I search for something else and get the error 2010. Also, whenever the app is running the phone gets hot. REALLY hot. No other apps make my phone heat up. This all makes me question what the app is trying to do while initializing. more

By Brian Norton

App keeps crashing. While streaming the entire app will just close. I have made sure my app is up to date and I have a strong wifi connection when it happens. Maybe instead of telling people to make sure they are up to date it's time to figure out the issue. Not a good look when you constantly push how great the app is. Also, are we getting refunds because your app isn't functioning? We pay extra for a feature you are unable to provide. more
Awful, awful app Oct 28, 2020

By JohnnyW34

The app is awful. From what I’ve read about the app online, and from the many users who expressed the same complaints as me, I have a strong suspicion that the positive ratings on here are fake. Especially given the number of ratings versus the number of subscribers that Sirius has. I’ve had the app for a while now. Like many, I suspect, I only use it to listen to the “Howard Stern Show.” But the various functions on the app that are supposed to enable you to restart the show from scratch if you don’t tuning immediately when Howard begins, well those functions don’t always work. And if you pause the show at any point, and go back to it, more than half the time it does not resume where you left off. Sometimes, it doesn’t even happen after a pause. If you are walking somewhere listening to the show but not in real time, and you walk through a store’s WiFi or something, the play jumps to the live feed. I’ve read that these problems are very common. A lot of people with the app express this same dissatisfaction. I have brought it to the attention of Sirius, only to be told that I should delete the app and re-download it. Their customer service is as bad as their app. Frankly, because I am so reliant on the app to listen, I am strongly considering canceling my subscription altogether. more

By Brittniey Bartnick

The stations keep shutting off every few seconds. I have to close out of the app and reopen it to get it to play again for it to do the same thing a few seconds later. This has been going on for MONTHS. No update available. I just unistalled and reinstalled the app for it to do the same exact thing within seconds. Pleaaaaseeeee fix this 🙏🙏 more

By Azuta Starbreeze

App used to work fine for me, now just like everybody else it will stop playback, tell me it's reconnecting (when I have no internet issues) or just crash all together. The app is fully updated, and I've fiddled with as many settings I could, I've even deleted and reinstalled the app. The problem has not stopped. The fact this is still ongoing is agitating, given how big of a company this is. This kind of issue, for multiple people, should not still be happening. more
Too many bugs Sep 3, 2019

By DJ Joey G

I have MANY apps on my phone and this one has to be one of the most unreliable. Too many issues to list here but the top two that make me crazy are #1 It stops working randomly mid shows, doesn't matter if its while listening to an on demand episode, a download or live. The app would go into a never ending loading state or just crash completely. #2 the most annoying and dangerous bug is when the app randomly starts playing in my pocket at the worst times. I listen to some XL rated shows with adult language and these shows that i haven't listened to for a few hours or sometimes haven't listened to that day at all will just start playing, full volume, in my pocket. The app is not running so i cant even kill it, i have to frantically turn the volume down then go into my control center and pause it. Its gotten to the point where if i’m going into certain places i have to turn my volume all the way down because i cant trust the app to not start playing, or i need to make sure the last thing i listen to is “safe”....Also when my phone connects to the bluetooth in my vehicles it just starts playing if i want it to or not, again the app isn't even running. Its ridiculous..... more

I have been a long-time subscriber to Sirius, XM Radio, and now SiriusXM. The variety has grown from excellent to absolutely amazing over the years. Sync’d up to Apple CarPlay, it provides far better variety than the SiriusXM offering from my satellite enabled factory system and if they decide to integrate with Siri, this will only add to the “can’t live without” product. My wife and I listen to quite a variety from 70s to now music. SiriusXM provides us the options needed for different genres, settings, and moods throughout the day. My top picks are Lithium, Tuff Gong Radio, Pops, The Bridge, and Hits 1. With the ability to jump over to Howard Stern or catch up on sporting news, I truly do not need any other source for listening enjoyment. The app is very easy to navigate.

NEW REVIEW (Feb. 2019): Another quick fix to the annoying download issue. Great response. App is back to working great. OLD REVIEW (Feb. 2019): The new update is awful. It’s now back to the same issue of downloaded shows not opening from the last place they were being listened to. You can listen to a downloaded show for two hours and then when you go back to the app instead of it saving your place and continuing playing where it was, it goes back to some previous point at the very beginning of the show. Very annoying and it’s happened before. Thought they had it worked out but now this issue is back. Please fix as soon as possible as this makes the app almost unusable. Wish I never updated. Should’ve stuck with the last version that actually worked. Very angry. OLD REVIEW (2018): Love the updated app. It’s the best. The addition of video is pretty cool, but the Stern Shows are loaded fast (usually same afternoon). Had an issue with holding place of downloaded shows, but it appears to have been resolved. A+ more
SiriusXM, it’s not just for the car! Mar 31, 2022

By The Gloved1

We became SiriusXM listeners back at the end of 2012 when we bought our first car that had it. At the time, living in S.E. Missouri, the regular radio stations were horrible…..especially if you liked modern rock and modern metal! Eventually we moved to the southern tier of NY state and the radio stations here were no better. Once we got the app, we now listen all the time at the gym, out on the deck for BBQ get togethers and I’m in the process of opening a Microgreens business and listening to SiriusXM through the app during the shop setup and testing has been awesome. Stations 34 through 41 are the usuals….mainly 37 & 41. Being an old bass head from my late 80’s Cali days with the slammed street trucks, I sometimes do throwback days on 43. The selections that are offered are awesome! Life without it would be like “Masterbating with a cheese grater….sure it can be fun and exciting for awhile, but then it becomes dull and painful!” That one was for The “King of Douchbaggery” himself…..Lord Grant Random! more
Very slow to start playing Feb 18, 2021

By Straight Answers

While I love the Sirius stations, the mobile app is problematic. Whereas Pandora almost never has any issues starting up and playing whether on WiFi or not, Sirius is horrible! 9 times out of 10 when I want to start listening I tap the station I want, from my favorites, and the little play arrow turns into a circle that spins for a very long time. Like, some days it does that for hours without ever playing. Yes, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app. Yes I have closed the app and reopened. That has never changed anything. It is still very much a pain and very unreliable as to whether I will actually get to listen to anything via the app. On average I’d say it takes 15 -20 minutes to get it to start playing. This is regardless of whether I am in my office right by my wifi modem or out on 5g service. Just as problematic either way. Find out how Pandora is so reliable and do that, please. Otherwise, I won’t renew when this subscription expires. more
God help you if . . . . . . Update Jun 1, 2018

By Queenbeedlg

Like me, you use your iPad in landscape mode. I’ve changed every relevant setting I can think of to get this app to load in landscape mode (as it once did prior to one of the latest updates) but, alas, to no avail. This is so much of a problem that saving the $20 a month I pay for this service is under serious consideration. It’s too much money to pay for the inconvenience of having to turn my iPad 90 degrees to read the app. I would have given it less than one star had that been possible. Update: I’m happy to report that the people at Sirius were listening and have addressed this landscape vs. portrait mode problem. It’s nice to know that there are still some companies out there who listen to their customer’s complaints and respond to them positively, especially in such a short period of time. Happily, I will not have to cancel my subscription, and I can recommend this app without reservation at a solid 5 stars. more
The more I spend time with this.. May 14, 2018

By Phantom2089

The more I’m regretting my app update for it. Why would you fix something that was not broken?? I really hate this new update. There are more cons to point out than pro’s on this! Con: -No mix customizations (BIG NO!) -No info description on each channel and shows within that channel, nor do they provide twitter/phone number to call in the radio channel! -adding favorites just doesn’t work. -backtracking only goes so much as 3 hrs instead of 6 hrs. -there’s no schedule for when upcoming shows are going to broadcast. -channel freezes and locks if your app ended up foreclosing on you or you foreclose the app. (I was always able to resume where I left off EVEN when I foreclosed it, now it makes me lose my place wherever I’m in. REALLY FRUSTRATING ESPECIALLY WITH GRATEFUL DEAD CONCERTS!!!!) -no bright/dim light interface option, I hate how bright this design is now, especially late at night. -takes longer to connect to audio when it used to not on data connection. Pro’s: -Video on-demand for Howard Stern -audio scroller is a bit easier when you want to rewind or fast forward a lot. And that’s all the pros that’s on this app. You have got some MAJOR EDITING to BRING BACK some of the old WITH the new! I feel like my subscription has just plummeted to a mediocre service, I’m really debating on cancelling if they don’t bring back and improve their main qualities of their app. BRING BACK THE OLD APP!!! more
Something w/accessibility for all ages. Nov 17, 2019

By lil'fyre

I LOVE Apple Play, don’t get me wrong!! And unfortunately in some newer cars you’ll have to pay for the feature of have Apple Play. I can only assume it’s because the Xirius option is as basic as it can get. Normally, that’s nothing to be bothered about (I’ll just pay for the dealership to ‘install Apple Play’). The eye opener for me was when I bought my now favorite modern car; A 2019 Hyundai Kona. It came with both higher ends of both media options. At first I stuck to what I knew, Apple Play. But the I started leaving Apple Play off, and realizing how much I was enjoying Xirius and the huge variety they offered. And, the price for a subscription was insanely good for all it has (you can customize what you want as well). My favorite is being able the listen to whatever I was, in the car, and picking it up again via my phone, or tablet. Thanks for making options for consumers!!! more
I can not dial back w new update May 29, 2018

By JmOWolff

I’ve been a SiriusXM subscriber for over 10 years, and i must say that the new format change is awful. I listen to several channels where I once could scan backwards up to six hours for content. The new format no longer allows for that. My favorites are now mixed in with channels I don't care about. And trying to find out where I am when I find them takes way too much effort. I pay a premium rate for this service primarily to use on my iPhone. It used to be so easy and convenient but the new format is just too hard to use. As i mentioned I’ve been a SiriusXM subscriber for over 10 years, weathered many changes but this change is the worst yet. Please fix these problems or provide an option to go back to the previous version and the more intuitive format. I once loved this app, but I’m not listening anymore, too frustrating. I’m very disappointed. more

Great source to explore different music of all kinds and constant music of the genre I like best. Still exploring all options offered beside music. The comedy anytime is awesome IMO the cost is well worth it. Having SXM on the car stereo, home stereo, phone, tablet, bluetooth, anywhere I am seamless transition from device to device nothing is ever missed. Not sure if ECHO or SXM app is the problem when linking but this needs to be improved. It is a headache and not worth the time to link. more
Great once you you can get what they promise. Sep 1, 2018

By papasprep

I have loved having SiriusXM. I received it as a gift from my daughter so I could listen to baseball. With it, I can hear our beloved Cleveland Indians from my home in New England. (We lived in northeast Ohio for 17 years.). Problem was it took days and several calls to get what my daughter paid for. The station I needed didn’t come in on my radio and it seemed to be quite a problem to get it to work. Worse yet, my husband on a totally different account tried to add the Indians station, and while SiriusXM was quick to charge him for the extra station, they failed to let him know that for some reason his brand new car had the wrong type of radio to get the higher stations. (He already has a basic XM radio package, so still have no clue what the issue was.) The reps that help are very nice, but it should be as easy to get the stations you are looking for, as it is for the XM folk to take your money. more
Resisted, but now regret waiting! Feb 28, 2018

By Olde Poodle

I very much enjoy my automobile XM Radio on multiple vehicles, so did not want to spend more for an iPhone version, but having the XM/Sirius app in my pocket has proven to be even more enjoyable and I use it more than I do the car subscriptions. My favorite station, Classical Pops, is still available on the app even after it was removed from the radio! As a extra bonus, the Christmas music is still available now, and it is almost March. Further, the Fox News and Fox Business programs that I like can be restarted if I am late, or paused when I am interrupted. My only complaint is that the progress bar is inaccurate, so that it is difficult to know where one is in a news program, and the program titles do not keep up to the moment like the music titles do. All in all, I am very satisfied with Sirius/XM. more
Review of Sirius c/m radio Jul 5, 2022

By dogman sam

My wife and I both love “Full Ride”. Childers and Neuheisel have the best sports show on radio…..by far. We both are dismayed with the loss of Mark Packer’s show,” Off Campus.” I like the guys who are now in that slot but they are not nearly as good as Packer. I might drop my subscription based on his absence. My signal is sometimes shaken and trying to work with Sirius to get support or to deal with my account is time consuming agony. Last year I was on the phone for over three hours trying to get my account straightened out at a fair rate. I’ll drop it before I go through that again. My wife and I are in the car a great deal due to family obligations hundreds of miles away. We listen to ESPN-U a whole lot. Next would be Sixties on 6 and occasionally we drop in on Fox News. more
Version 5.4.6 crashing when unlocking iPhone Jun 21, 2019

By This is Scott

I noticed very quickly after upgrading to 5.4.6 that very frequently when I'm listening and my iPhone screen locks that when I try to unlock it the SXM app briefly seems to freeze up the iPhone and then crashes and obviously stops therefore playing. Has this issue already been reported and is it being looked into? I'm using an iPhone 7 with iOS 10.3.3 still installed. This app is the only one having this issue. I use some other music streaming programs, podcast apps and I haven't seen this happen when using any of them. And it wasn't occurring in SXM neither before I upgraded it to this version. Other than this issue I enjoy the app when I have a subscription and don't have any other major issues with it at this time. more
Love the app, but needs a playback speed option for OnDemand Oct 12, 2019

By Poo ln a Cup

I really wish there was a playback speed option for OnDemand. I listen almost exclusively to SXM talk & comedy OnDemand, but I miss a lot of episodes of shows that I love and have listened to for years. The problem with so much good content is finding time to listen to it all. I could listen to more episodes if I could play shows at speeds of 1.25x, 1.5x, etc. Aside from that, this version of the app is great. I’ve been a loyal subscriber for well over 10 years and most of that has been using the app (iOS) or online subscriptions. Developers have really paid attention to what subscribers want and this version has way less crashing than ever before and now with videos and the AppleTV app, it is a total game changer for the platform. more
Enthusiastic SiriusXM recommendation from me @ 66 Jun 22, 2018

By garyjyogi

SiriusXM is the best thing to happen to music since FM Di’s in the 70’s-early 80s. Free Form Radio. Now specialty stations for ever taste by era or artist. Blues, Outlaw Country,Jazz( too many stations for me to track), Grateful Dead & Beatles stations & live play by play for my Yankee games regardless of my location. I believe it works for other sports & teams as well & Howard Stern & the tv news feeds across the spectrum from MSNBC through CNN to Fox. & more I keep discovering more content, oh yeah Classic radio, Wow! Makes driving much more fun for me & if I have passengers a great way to be a good host. I could go on but 90% didn’t read this far & I doubt I will even get a thank you from SiriusXM. Even if terrestrial radio had anything worth listening to, SiriusXM does it better & w minimal commercial interruptions. Best to all Garyjyogi more
Good until kicked off Oct 4, 2019

By Steph.Perkins

I have a traditional account in my wife’s car and a separate internet account/app access that I pay for. The accounts are consolidated for billing (same user ID). Recently, Sirius decided to give free internet/app access to the car traditional accounts which I think is great. However, last weekend I away from home was using my account app and my wife tried to listen o the app while she cut the grass. If I was away how do I know you ask?I kept getting kicked off my internet account with a message stating Sirius only allows one user to listen at a time. Hymn, now wait a minute I pay for one internet account and the other is associated with my wife’s car. What am I getting billed for? Other than that the internet access is phenomenal and the extra channels are the bomb! more
Great when it works, needs help Jun 24, 2018

By BigTex45

The app frequently crashes, thus 3 stars. A few things that it lacks are the handoff from one device to the next si you don't have to find your place when switching from device to device, and the error messages are way too cryptic to be of any use. Update for new version- the latest version of the XM App (now there is a version for the iPad and/or landscape mode) is stable, attractive and easy to navigate. I would recommend to anyone who wishes to hear the only real and factual news anywhere in the Media universe plus great music selections, weather, traffic, and sports. An added bonus is the books read aloud channel for those times you’re driving cross country and need to immerse in an alternate reality via the storytelling. more
Solid app, couple fallbacks and requests Mar 11, 2019

By jbdrummer93

Solid for listening to my favorite stations, super easy to find based on style of music or entertainment I’m looking for. The new Xtra channels are awesome and feel like a better version of creating a smart playlist in Apple Music and iTunes; everything is more curated and exposes to some great music I have forgotten about or never heard. However the Xtra channels tend to crash time to time and I will have to use a skip, tune to a different channel, or the app will crash or I’ll have to close it. The one request I’d like to see is an app for the Apple TV. This would be great to simply start on my home theater and office space and just chill and listen; perfect for the occasional videos on demand SiriusXM features as well. Other than laundry list, its a great app! more

Impossible to listen to Podcasts Mar 4, 2022

By ajsidney

I have multiple subscriptions and frankly only have SXM because of Howard. However, every single time I pause a live show for more than a minute, it “loses connection” and drops. This is not a wifi issue btw. That requires me to reopen the player, fast forward to the point in the show and start listening again! This was not an issue a year ago. Secondly, I started listening to podcasts on SXM app. this year. Every single time I pause an episode the same thing happens noted above, and even worse some ADVERTISEMENT for some Entertainment Now channel 790 repeatedly breaks in and then interrupts a show, and begins blaring an ad for this stupid channel. This is every day up to a dozen times a day. The show is completely dropped because of this Ad! Considering I pay for uninterrupted shows (minimal normal podcast advertisements are understood) and no SXM ADS I expect to listen to anything on the App without eardrums being completely blown out by the sound level of the ad, and being irritated beyond belief that I cannot listen to anything that is talk or podcast without constant dropping out or being interrupted. Fix this error ASAP, it has been going on for at least 6 months. This is making me consider dropping all my subscriptions, you know I can stream music anywhere. more
No landscape mode; update horrible for RadioClassics Jun 7, 2018

By PetiteFrog

UPDATE: Thanks for adding the landscape mode back - although why on earth was it removed in the first place??? I have upgraded my rating from 1 star to 3 stars. What would give it one more star - display the times of the previously played RadioClassic shows. I have no idea what played when. You provide the option to listen to earlier shows, but the segments aren’t descriptive enough so I am having to go through all of them to find the show I want to listen to. PREVIOUS REVIEW: As others have stated, not having the ability to view using landscape mode is very annoying. However, not nearly as annoying and useless as what the upgrade has done to the RadioClassics station. Before the update, I could see all the programs that played in the past 5 or 6 hours and select one of those shows - easily. Now —- you can’t see the time a previous show was played and have to guess which item it is in the viewable segments. Viewing all the segments is nearly impossible. No way to easily see and select earlier segments. The upgrade has made the RadioClassics stations impossible to navigate. more
CarPlay buggy, no chrome cast support but good sound quality Oct 25, 2018

By Cypherstream

So glad they recently added Apple CarPlay, however it’s very buggy. Many times favorites don’t load, recents may not load, or the car play screen is just blank. It does work better if you unlock your phone first, but who can do that if your driving and have your phone put down (it auto locks fairly quickly). What is wrong with SiriusXM not offering chromecast functionality? It seems this would be the easiest way to get SXM in your house. To be able to chrome cast SXM would be a great asset to listen at home when doing household work. Other than the very buggy CarPlay support and lack of Chromecast feature, the sound quality is far better than what you get on the actual satellite. You also have access to many more channels and on demand content. This is why I prefer to use the app via CarPlay instead of my cars built in XM tuner. My car only goes up to channels in the 200’s. The app has channels into the 700’s! I’m no longer missing out on Faction or the Emo Project, indie 1.0, or Rock Bar. If only CarPlay worked all the time, this would be a killer app. more
As much as I use this app I wish it worked better. Apr 1, 2022

By JenniferZ

I use this app all day Monday through Friday and that involves opening and closing the app multiple times a day. At LEAST once a day it won’t load the Home Screen properly if at all and several times it tells me I’m not connected to the internet when I have full bars and can use any other connectivity app on my phone. It’s just Sirius that does it. I’m beginning to think the no internet error has something to do with CarPlay. If I unplug it from CarPlay and close the app and restart it, sometimes that works and then I just plug it back in once it’s working again. I deal with this several times a day. Also, on demand shows are not always loaded or available next day like supposed to. Instead it finally shows up late afternoon or not until next day. These issues won’t make me stop using it since I can’t miss my All Out Show on Shade 45 everyday in my work car…BUUUT, I’m not gonna lie when someone asks me if I like it or if I recommend it. Hope you guys can fix it! Thanks! more
New features but lacking polish Nov 8, 2018

By drew_petricc

Lots of glitz and glamour over the new features, & call me crazy, but it actually seems *harder* to just get to my downloaded shows now... Also, if there’s something that looks cool on my home page, better remember it or keep swiping b/c it just scrolls away after a few seconds... sure it’s good to show the different options, but annoying. It also seems to have obfuscated which is actually a new show, or even to just get to what is actually playing live on 100 now. For all its faults, this was not an issue with the old version. All this complaining aside I do like the new app and addition of video clips etc. I’m just looking forward to some revision with usability/ease of use in mind—so keep it up dev team!! Thanks for a great app, I will change to five stars when updated! I do like the more streamlined way to manage/delete downloads and the addition of forward and backward skipping by a few seconds (which was sorely needed). So it’s great & I love it—that’s why I’m saying it just needs a few revisions to be the best in my opinion, thanks. more
Mobile app doesn’t update songs on Sirius VM channels Sep 7, 2021

By ILoveFirstWave33

When I open the SiriusXM mobile app on my iPhone running iOS 14.7.1 (this issue has been happening for the last year and before release of iOS 14) when i see a song title i like on a particular station, i select it and listen to the song, if the next song played isn't for me, i look for a new song title on a different station…”This is when the PROBLEMS start”…all the stations showing songs that are currently being played, ARE NOT the songs being played when you select that channel !?! This happens everyday when i use the mobile app on my cell phone while using home wifi or my Sprint mobile data plan…my husband has the same cell/same iOS, but with TMobile…and has exact same issues. The only way to correct this glitch, you need to get out of the mobile app and then re-launch/log back into the SiriusXM app on your cell, so the mobile app refreshes the channels. Can you please fix this!! It’s very frustrating…thx, customer since 2013 more
Volume Bar? Dec 21, 2017

By Lwmavrik

Nice app for the most part, but some silly omissions...Volume Bar for iPad?..., iPhone has it...albeit flawed...it needs to stay on the screen permanently and be further down so you don’t run into the other bar above it that handles rew/ff.... I waited for years for a last channel "jump to" button so you can quickly toggle between two channels?!? Recent‘s from the latest update covers that... it’s about time! I have felt for years like the people who develop this app never use it, because if you’ve ever used a television remote control in your life an A/B button and the volume button is what you use the most and if you haven’t noticed, the volume buttons on phones are often not so easy, particularly if you have a case on it! Thus the volume needs to stay on the LCD screen at all times not appear and disappear ...once you have touched the button on the side, why would you then need to then slide over to the one that appears on the screen.. it’s moronic!! Someone needs to make more of an effort and this can be 5 stars! more
Ok but crowded Nov 16, 2020

By DocMagi

At a point an app can become crowded and more complicated than needed. This app is one of them and less would be better. It plays music and videos but because of the clutter the main purpose of the app is lacking. Tried using it on the Apple TV but that is silly because whoever designed the app apparently has never used the Apple TV app or just likes pretty pictures. Deleting it off the tv because it simply freezes up and is worthless. The phone app works but again simple is better with less clutter and less bandwidth required to load and run. Actually you seem to be going in the wrong direction especially considering how expensive your service is compared to better streaming services. When Pandora comes with a car radio I imagine your subscriptions with decline a great deal. Shame that your service is worse and your prices increase. more
Customer Service May 11, 2022

By delilah07

I would’ve given this app at least a four review if it wasn’t for your customer service. Last year I went through a whole rig a morole with different people that I know are out of this country just reading the listings from a booklet I’m assuming and not listening to me I finally got somebody from management a woman by the name of Angela to talk with me and we were on the same wave length and she gave me the right program at the right price and I signed up for another year &She explicitly told me if I call right at the renewal time I would get the exact same thing again but I had to do that one step I’ve been trying now for three days now it’s time for me to renew and I’m getting the people from outside the country again giving me all different prices and who has the time or energy for this!! It truly is a turn off & insufferable. more
Good App, awful CarPlay Support Apr 11, 2021

By Jim19406

The app itself, on an iPhone is fine. Sounds good, the organization of favorites into tiles is pretty decent, sound quality (on maximum) is great, etc. Where the app needs serious work is with CarPlay. First, the app needs Siri and Siri Shortcuts integration! That should be at the very top of SiriusXMs todo list. Right now, the app is a safety hazard asking for an accident in CarPlay. I should be able to say “Hey Siri, play SiriusXM alt nation” instead of taking my eyes off the road and fumbling through the SiriusXM CarPlay UI. After you have complete Siri and Siri Shortcuts integration, number 2 on your todo list has to be to clean up the UI. Bring the Favorites tiles UI to CarPlay and have the app open to the Favorites tiles, not whatever the random, text-heavy screen it’s opening to right now is. Those two UI cleanups are going to make SiriusXM a much better (and SAFER!) CarPlay app! more

Too many bugs Sep 3, 2019

By DJ Joey G

I have MANY apps on my phone and this one has to be one of the most unreliable. Too many issues to list here but the top two that make me crazy are #1 It stops working randomly mid shows, doesn't matter if its while listening to an on demand episode, a download or live. The app would go into a never ending loading state or just crash completely. #2 the most annoying and dangerous bug is when the app randomly starts playing in my pocket at the worst times. I listen to some XL rated shows with adult language and these shows that i haven't listened to for a few hours or sometimes haven't listened to that day at all will just start playing, full volume, in my pocket. The app is not running so i cant even kill it, i have to frantically turn the volume down then go into my control center and pause it. Its gotten to the point where if i’m going into certain places i have to turn my volume all the way down because i cant trust the app to not start playing, or i need to make sure the last thing i listen to is “safe”....Also when my phone connects to the bluetooth in my vehicles it just starts playing if i want it to or not, again the app isn't even running. Its ridiculous..... more

Least consistent app I still use Nov 12, 2021

By Leaferguy

This app feels like it takes two steps forward, two backwards, and then one to the right. Constantly loses the settings I saved (tune start, streaming quality, etc), and then when it does retain them, they don't work (tune start recently stopped working?). The favorites screen only lets you see six stations at a time. I do not care about the logo of the station. I want to see 15+ stations AND the song that's playing. Oh and now playing? Who knows if that's accurate (hint: it's usually not). It doesn't update if the app isn't in focus, so I get to choose between my GPS app and this one during my commute. Finally, Madison continues to ruin the experience on many of my favorite stations. I do not give a flying fish as to what she thinks about literally anything. Her voice is annoying as it possibly can be, and she manages to be on one of the stations I listen to most during both my drive to and from work. I don't get why this app is so stagnant and doesn't improve regularly. If there was a term to describe the opposite of agile, it would be whatever this app is using. more

Echoing the experience of many others, this app constantly and consistently stops playing and self-quitting, without any interaction from me. This has occurred over several phones from Motorola and Samsung, over the years, and occurs whether connected to WiFi or not. Battery Saver/optimization's does not affect this issue (which has occurred under both instances - mostly when Battery Saver is off, ironically). Bluetooth is never on. more
Something has changed! Jan 31, 2020

By B& aid

I have been an XM Radio listener for years and my favorite channel is Radio Classics. I have used the app for years to catch up on content I might have missed. The app used to work well for listening to shows that had already aired. However, after they added Pandora features to the XM app, the app became unreliable. Before, switching from segment to segment worked well and the skip forward feature worked well. Now however, as you near the end of one segment, you can no longer reliably click on a different story segment and have the app react.... the sound just stops and you get a spinning wheel. Nothing happens. You can close the app and restart it sometimes to get it to work but here lately, even that is not working. I even deleted the app and re-installed but no joy. This has become exceedingly frustrating and totally ruins one of the main benefits of subscribing to the digital content service. I wish companies would more thoroughly test their updates before “breaking” perfectly good applications. more
Not crazy about the update May 16, 2018

By missjubilada

I use this app all the time and I’m really frustrated by some of the changes in the update. It’s fine for listening to music but I also love the Radio Classics channel and the update is horrible for that. You used to be able to see the past few hours of individual shows, as well as the upcoming few hours of individual shows. Now all it shows is the past 45 minutes or so and the title of the hours long “Radio Classics” or “ When Radio Was” but not the individual programs being broadcast. And shows what commercials are played during that 45 minutes. Who would care about that?! It also used to let you choose individual programs as favorites to star ( The Jack Benny Program or Suspense, for example). Now the only options appear to be the 2 Radio Classics or When Radio Was shows ( which consist of several hours of individual programs that seem to be impossible to see within the app now). Why would an update provide fewer features than the old version ? Very frustrating. Please fix. more
Sometimes it works Nov 6, 2019

By Thome258

This app has to be the worst app for issues. Sometimes it works fine then they update it and it never fails that it causes issues. If you email customer service you get the same response every time. They tell you to delete the app and reinstall it. I don’t want to have to do that at least once a month because then I lose all the shows I’ve downloaded . I don’t have unlimited data so I like that I can download the shows I’ve missed onto the app to listen to in the car. I just wish it was more consistent and didn’t have an issue every time they put out an update. Right now the issue is that if I stop listening to a show and go back to it later it will restart from the beginning and not where I left off. Then I have to try to figure out where I was. I wish they’d add a forward button that only went like 20 seconds instead of having to either forward past a whole segment or slide to another part of the show but not knowing where you’ll end up stopping. more

Constantly stopping, requiring me to get my phone out to restart. This is very inconvenient if I'm working and my hands are dirty or if I'm driving. I've tried different phones with different carriers but it's the same story. Sometimes when it stops it will start up at a entirely different part of the podcast or whatever I'm listening to. This happens live and when listening to the On Demand selection. This app is so frustrating I'm ending my free trial early. more

Terrible app!!! It doesn't matter if I use Wi-Fi or cell network or which phone or tablet I use as the app just stops after a few minutes. This occurs with Android versions 8, 10, 12 and 13. None of the devices are set for restricted battery. Sometimes, the audio restarts on its own but most times I have to stop what I am doing and open the app to get audio again. The latest version of the app is by far the worst. more

App always drops connection and have to close and reopen to get it back. I was using it while riding my motorcycle but this issue makes it useless. Also has an issue with skipping back a few seconds that gives it an authentic feel when listening to classic vinyl. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but nothing has helped. Going back to my old mp3 player. more
Sirius Spyware? Aug 4, 2022

By W-T-F-???

The last few updates have made the Sirius app unreliable. I have an iPhone 12 Pro on iOS 15.6. I mainly use the app in the morning to listen to news episodes from the previous day. It’s a crapshoot if it will populate all the screens; Discover, Favorites, & Search usually take at least a minute to fill in all the boxes if they do it at all and frequently generate Error 2010. Retry rarely succeeds. Sometimes Favorites populate with the stations but don’t show what’s currently playing on the stations although you can tap in one and listen to it. Search gives Error 2010 the most. Sometimes it displays search results as black boxes then pops up the error. I’ve tried running the app with and without wifi. Thought maybe they did something to make it not work with a VPN so I turned that off. No difference. Rebooted the phone numerous times. Rarely, the app will start up correctly and everything works the way it’s supposed to, at least for a while. But it can and does break itself even after a successful startup, searching for episodes and listening to one. Then I search for something else and get the error 2010. Also, whenever the app is running the phone gets hot. REALLY hot. No other apps make my phone heat up. This all makes me question what the app is trying to do while initializing. more

App keeps crashing. While streaming the entire app will just close. I have made sure my app is up to date and I have a strong wifi connection when it happens. Maybe instead of telling people to make sure they are up to date it's time to figure out the issue. Not a good look when you constantly push how great the app is. Also, are we getting refunds because your app isn't functioning? We pay extra for a feature you are unable to provide. more
Awful, awful app Oct 28, 2020

By JohnnyW34

The app is awful. From what I’ve read about the app online, and from the many users who expressed the same complaints as me, I have a strong suspicion that the positive ratings on here are fake. Especially given the number of ratings versus the number of subscribers that Sirius has. I’ve had the app for a while now. Like many, I suspect, I only use it to listen to the “Howard Stern Show.” But the various functions on the app that are supposed to enable you to restart the show from scratch if you don’t tuning immediately when Howard begins, well those functions don’t always work. And if you pause the show at any point, and go back to it, more than half the time it does not resume where you left off. Sometimes, it doesn’t even happen after a pause. If you are walking somewhere listening to the show but not in real time, and you walk through a store’s WiFi or something, the play jumps to the live feed. I’ve read that these problems are very common. A lot of people with the app express this same dissatisfaction. I have brought it to the attention of Sirius, only to be told that I should delete the app and re-download it. Their customer service is as bad as their app. Frankly, because I am so reliant on the app to listen, I am strongly considering canceling my subscription altogether. more

The stations keep shutting off every few seconds. I have to close out of the app and reopen it to get it to play again for it to do the same thing a few seconds later. This has been going on for MONTHS. No update available. I just unistalled and reinstalled the app for it to do the same exact thing within seconds. Pleaaaaseeeee fix this 🙏🙏 more

App used to work fine for me, now just like everybody else it will stop playback, tell me it's reconnecting (when I have no internet issues) or just crash all together. The app is fully updated, and I've fiddled with as many settings I could, I've even deleted and reinstalled the app. The problem has not stopped. The fact this is still ongoing is agitating, given how big of a company this is. This kind of issue, for multiple people, should not still be happening. more

Function/connectivity continues to decline to the point that it is not worth bothering with any longer. Update: Reduced another ⭐. 👎 Developer... how about fixing the problem(s) with the app, rather than handing out "common sense advice" that doesn't resolve consistent issues! If we all try every recommendation (plus) and problems still persist... IT'S THE APP! ...not our phones! And to think, we're all paying for service, and other free (w/ commercials) apps function way better!🥴 more
App doesn’t work on iPad anymore Jul 1, 2022

By HerbieSyufy

Well, a few days ago, my SiriusXM app was working fine on my iPad. Then 2 days ago, Sirius “updated” the app, and now it’s completely broken. I get the blue welcome screen, then it goes to a COMPLETELY white screen, and locks up there. No buttons, no menus, no nothing. Pure white screen, top to bottom. I’ve cleared the app cache. I’ve deleted the app and reloaded. I’ve restarted the iPad. I cleared the cache on the iPad, and freed up more space by deleting apps and files. I’ve cursed. I even updated the iPad OS to the latest 15.5 version. Nothing works. I guess I’ll have to cancel my Sirius subscription, since tech support seems stumped. I can’t pay for a service that I cannot access. Too bad, because SiriusXM was a real bright spot for me during this little Covid hiccup… :( Update… more than a week later, tech support has seemingly abandoned this case. No replies from the Twitter support account, and no callbacks ever from “Advanced Technical Support” via telephone. Guess I get to try canceling my account. Too bad… I enjoyed SiriusXM when it worked. Okay. The account has been canceled. TL,DR: SiriusXM is WONDERFUL when it works. My review is for their app, which DOESN’T work. I’m sorry to have lost this source for music. :( more
