TheBlast.FM - Christian Rock

I'd have to say this is one of my two favourite internet stations, the other being Solid Rock Radio. Two things I'd love to see in the app though are: 1. Album art of current song 2. Previous song list - so you can look back and see a song name and artist if you wanted to write it down. If these two things were added I'd rate it 5 out of 5 :)

This app rocks! Works great every time, makes listening to the Blast a cinch so you can crank it up and listen full blast!

First run ad it crashed. Buffers very poor. Using the .pls link in mobile Safari is more reliable. App slow. I can't believe this passed the App Store standards. :( I love TheBlast but this app is a little bit embarrassing. Pls fix so I can recommend it to my friends.

I am so thankful for the upgrade of this app. I was checking at least twice a day to see if the upgrade had posted yet. It looks great on the dash in CarPlay and I can even see what song is playing on my Apple Watch. These set of stations are a big part of my daily drive and the user experience has taken a big step forward. I have not noticed any issues using the app so far.

This review is of the app not the radio station it plays. Like the previous reviewer mentioned the app doesn't give you music info on the home screen, you can't play/pause with your headphone controls. The UI is hard to use as the buttons are under the area you use to switch apps on iPhones with Face id (most iphones any more). And the interface is poorly designed, switching radio stations, playing and pausing and so on could be all immediately available on the main interface. Lastly the app no longer is working for me, it just won't play the radio stations 99% of the time even though the stream on the website works fine.

I love this app and theBlast.fm service. I especially love rocking in the Blastozoic era with my son. The interface could use a couple updates though. The biggest by far is that the menu and play buttons need to be moved up away from the bottom of the screen. Half of each button is in the zone that iOS interprets as the start of a “scroll up.” It would also be nice if current song info was transmitted over Bluetooth. When listening in my car, it’s not always safe to look at my phone to see what song is playing.

I absolutely love listening to this; especially on the road or my runs but it does need some adjustment. 1st - it won’t resume playing after I get an alert or some other pop up. Especially when I’m using a running app in the background. I have to slow down or even walk to restart the music playing. 2nd - the buttons are two low and hard to hit. I have to focus on exactly what I’m hitting as it won’t let me hit the buttons with out trying to “swipe up” the screen. 3rd - it would be great to see what is playing on the Lock Screen. And maybe a previous/next song. Fox these and I could easily give it a 5 Star! I only have it 4 instead of 3 because it’s one of the few apps that play without freezing up and gives me the ability to switch between Christian Genre depending on my needs! Please fix these and soon!!

I really like Blast Blender and this app is better than TuneIn because you can see what is playing. It also doesn’t have the resume issue, pressing play starts from the current song. That said, it could use some improvement. First, I wish the Lock Screen would show what is playing. I don’t like having to open the app to see what song is playing. Second, the play/pause button and the rest of the menu is too low on the screen and too small. It sits over the bar at the bottom and I usually end up selecting a song instead of playing. Some menu items don’t work. I would love for there to be an Apple Watch app that shows Now Playing, especially if it could play without my phone nearby.

This is the music I’ve been searching for. I recently discovered this station on my Roku and of course I wanted the app so I can listen on the go. Hey Colin, Sincere thanks for what you’re doing. All the best!

One star because it is not working on ios 11.4.1. Love the idea and would be great if it had worked by downloading from App Store but it don’t and now I’m left with a app that shows the black splash.
