Triode - Internet Radio

Seems to have a good selection of global stations, though the search is not very intelligent. However, it does not let you save ANY favourite stations without paying, which makes this app useless.

This is the only radio app I have found that is able to stream all the stations I want to listen to. The only defect is that it won’t play a CD quality FLAC stream where a station makes that available. If that can be added in an upgrade I would give it 5 stars.

My favourite radio app for iOS and macOS. Unfortunately it has been crashing consistently on iOS 15; hopefully it will get fixed soon.

This is a really good app, user friendly and works with Airplay flawlessly. Airplay sound quality is superior to Bluetooth. Ever since TuneIn had to remove overseas radio stations from the UK I have been “bluetoothing” web radio stations to my Marantz amp, which was too much piddling around. All my previous issues are resolved. I use it on my iPad and thoroughly recommend it to anyone who wants internet radio.

I downloaded assuming this was a free Internet radio CarPlay app, however very misleading as it only plays 30 present stations via Carplay. If you want to play your own choice of station then you have to manually switch from the phone, which involves pulling the car over to search for the new station before being able to drive again. I imagine some drivers might not bother pulling over to change stations from their phone rather than CarPlay, potentially dangerous. The 30 preset stations don’t include the one I want and unable to enter my own using CarPlay which is a shame as it’s nice looking and sounding player. This compares to a web browser limited to someone else’s choice of 30 websites.

This is how you build an app, this is how you get rave reviews. I’ve downloaded 3 apps this weekend that are quite simply perfect, The Calculator @£1.29 am, AnyList @£.99p am and this app, Triode; All worth every penny, whichever subscription price you go for. I highly recommend, best £.99p I’ve ever spent a month, when I’m flush again you can my £20!

…which was the one thing stopping this from being a five star app for me. Now that’s been added, this is just about everything I could ask for in a radio player.

Great app allowing to have all the radio stations I like in one place. Very quickly and easily able to make a Siri shortcut so the tunes kick in as soon as you say “Hey Siri play BBC radio 1” or some such

Do a watch app!

I bought the lifetime subscription a year ago. About 2 weeks ago some of my stations would no longer connect even though they were coming up on the search - I wrote to the developer with no response. I was able to manually remap the stations but as of today 3/25 the app gets killed in the background. I suspect that this is something to do with os 17.4 but I also suspect that the developer won’t fix this anytime soon. There is no explicit setting to allow this app background refresh. So now it’s a useless app that streams for 15 seconds and then gets killed.
