Live365 Radio for Android
Used on my desktop, laptop on overseas business trips, handheld android, and fell asleep daily from day ONE. Broke my heart to see corporatism again destroy democratic sharing the love of music & communication. GREED = EVIL (PERIOD) . From day ONE, I was supporting, yes for years. Still got my Live 365 Tee Shirt. I am bragging. I, am an old guy. I feel like I lost an old friend. I'm still mourning. Yeah, yeah, Pops, life goes on. Does it when this is the resulting crap result?
Really want to love this as the channels are fantastic but the streaming is really poor, constantly buffering despite trying all settings, makes no difference if on WiFi or mobile data, lets hope this is sorted as none of my other music apps suffer with this.
Since they haven't come to any arrangements with the Copyright Royalty Board, they had to shut down broadcasts at the end of January 2016. They have no way to contact them if you were a paid subscriber, for the premium services, and have left everyone hanging about refunds and cancellations.
Every time I click on this ap, which is downloaded to my phone, it never works! Always says "connection problem, try again later." I've checked my connection, it's fine. I've uninstalled the app, waited a couple of days, installed it again and still the same response. Please fix! I loved it when it was working. .
I dnt knw what happened, but all of a sudden its not working. I will rate 5 stars when/if it works again.
Was a great app, now Says poor internet connection when I am connected to WiFi. Try again and it starts and says there are no stations in any of the sun categories.
I've listened to Live365 for years. One of the best music apps with a wide selection of amateur and professional stations. I can always find something coming thru clearly no matter my bandwidth. Love it!
Live365 is "off the air" now. That's unfortunate for both the listeners and the broadcasters. There were a lot of great channels on Live365. I think the developer will pull this off the market.
Terrible never load music, never search, always say me that my broad band is very low.... Spotify and rhapsody play perfect. Uninstalling live365
Works perfectly, except there's no sound. That's kinda basic. On my new tablet it just goes round and round and never connects. Pity I can't give it zero stars.
I've been using this for years and paying for it too. Now I can only get it to play on my pc (using the old player - not the lousy new one). But on my android phone and tablet, the stations won't even load, and when they do it isn't long before they go back to 'initialize' mode again. I have deleted and reloaded the app several times. What the heck is up? I like this but right I'm paying for something that doesn't work well at all. hey...live365....can you reply? i pay for this!
From both the app and the Live365 website, it appears that the station/service has had its "time" and needed to move on. RIP 365. It's been nice knowing you.
This app will not work on my new Samsung s5 neo. I can use it on my old s3 mini and s3 tablet. I am very disappointed and missing my favourite station. reggae radio london.
Installed this app in Fall 2015. Worked great until Thanksgiving. Now the track info no longer matches the song on all channels and stream is interrupted several times per song even on excellent wi-fi. I don't understand. This review originally was 5 stars back in September 2015.
Uncle Alex Sanford, music is my life... I have the time, patience, knowledge and finance to reboot Live365 and make it better, more user friendly in terms of navigation, and enough people on board with what I'm already doing to help me. I'm begging you, and I don't beg. Let me prove to you that I can do this, that I'm not my father.
Thanks to royalty fee changes, the best streaming radio system in the world is being killed. IHeart and Pandora, with their computer generated play lists, suck. Big money wins again. R. I. P. Live365, You will be missed.
For the past few days I thought something was wrong with your station. Now I learnt that you are gone. .. sad day for me coz I really enjoyed the music you broadcasted. You are the best Internet music station I ever came across... thanks so much for all the good music. Really appreciate you!
... they decided to cancel programming. I had a lot of stations that I liked to listen to, especially traditional Catholic music. Now they're advertising stations I've never heard of. They could have at least sent an email to subscribers to tell them they were discontinuing programming. Such a shame ....
I am having issues of the app streaming for the past month...wifi or mobile it is not loading... I love the fact it gives you different options of music without having to hear the same music rotation on local radios. Please fix I would love to keep this app..
It was very sad when my favourite Live365 station 'the angel theory' closed down in 2011, but now all of it is gone. Live365 was one of my first experiences of Internet radio around 2003. The stations influence my interests in music to this day. The music I discovered on Live365 was and is precious to me. BTW I had started up an annual VIP membership again in August 2015 and paid the annual fee. Live365 shut down at the start of February 2016. The money is gone, I guess.
Everytime im going to open the app there is a message that is popping out saying I have a poor connection and that I will have to come back later. My wifi doing fine. Im the only one using it. If im going to search a station it stays there loading and loading. I cant use the app at all. Im sad because this is a very good app. I have installed it before. Pls fix this pls. I want to use this app. Thanks
I use to listen to this radio station on my computer and my old school Blackberry phone. Worked like a charm. I downloaded the app for my LG phone and now I cant play anything. So frustrating.
★Updating review again- Still 5 Stars! Very happy VIP user since 2012, and I will be for life! With hundreds of genres & thousands of stations to choose from, I never get bored. I take LIVE365 EVERYWHERE I go. Customer service has always been 100%. I have no streaming probs, even with slow data. The Android App is easily my favorite and most used app. I listen to lots of Old Time Radio Shows; Audible Shriek Theater, Old Time Radio Horror, and all KIBM stations are great. I LOVE MY LIVE365!
This company has gone out of service & will not be back. The app should be removed. Wish it was still going. It was a great source for old time radio.
I was a broadcaster and they left without warning. Just renewed for another year, took my money and ran. I will try disputing the charge but they will probably file chapter 7 with no further obligation, how rotten!!!!!
Top music approach around. Plays any genre's sorry to see a lot of stations go recently. That's not good
Gone but not forgotten. Everyone hopes it returns. I hope the reason that it is still in Play Store is that something may happen. PLEASE NO MORE NEGATIVE POSTS SINCE IT NOLONGER WORKS.
There's way too much touch-enabled geography on the screens. I inadvertently deleted favorites numerous times because the entire screen is touch-enabled during playback. The 4 functions that are there just aren't that important. Put them on a single toolbar or behind the more button. Same comment for the volume bar. There's no reason for the entire bar to be enabled; only the slider button. I've finally learned to check it first when the sound stops because it goes to mute if you get anywhere near it.
The company kicked the bucket, that's why the app doesn't work. Very sad, I used to listen every day a couple of years ago. Gonna miss Radio Vietnam.
I can't get this app to work? I have used it for a couple if years and just now it won't work..anyone else having its problem.....
Live365 rocks the small/medium webcasters and offers a vast selection of music, OTR and other spoken-word stations... I hope it will survive the current crisis.
I love live365! Been listening to the music here for about 12 years now. But when I got my new phone with my tax return it won't open or let me login or anything. When I can actually get into the app, can't login and stations are non-existant. I find this very upsetting with as old as my account is and would be incredibly disappointed if I had to learn how to use Pandora or spotify or some other sub-par internet radio. In fact, this is still continuing after making a support ticket over a month ago.
Got a new Samsung Core Prime. App will not play... uninstalled twice. Ridiculous. I used to listen to many great stations on another older Samsung Stratosphere and even a real CRAP LG phone. I'm disappointed beyond words. Very BADLY done Live 365 people! ALL my OTHER radio apps all WORK, hmmmm?
I can't use this app !!! Poor connection !! I deleted and download it again but still same problem!
If your going to try this app you better have lots of patients .the ads wow if you want to change stations .prepare to wait go take shower or wash your car. Music should be ready by then.if you here a song you love don't love it to long because it will stop.I hope paid version is better. I had this app for 24 hrs and made up 30 more swear words .one nice thing about it music is awesome .from what little time to here it
Leaving this at 5 stars though now Live365 is no longer. Thanks for the memories. In the years I have been a VIP member I have been introduced to so much music, so many artists, that wouldn't have even been on my radar but for the many varied broadcasters who streamed on this network. Live365 will be sorely missed.
In less than 2 years we have lost The Standards Channel with its incredible presentation of the Great American Songbook, the amazing Rdio, most recently Songza and now even the truly super and wonderful Live 365. And make no mistake about it the loss of it is profound on any number of levels. It is too bad that none of these ever told us well in advance the troubles they were in, because maybe we could have done something. I will miss Live 365 very much. And so will many others too. RIP!
THANK YOU, LIVE 365, FOR THE THOUSANDS OF HOURS OF ENJOYMENT YOU PROVIDED TO MY FAMILY, FRIENDS & ME THROUGH YOUR APP. IT IS A VERY SAD DAY INDEED FOR THE MILLIONS OF OTR FANS AROUND THE WORLD. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT HAS COME TO THIS. I THANK YOU ALL FOR THE GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE YOU PROVIDED. I PRAY GOD WILL PROVIDE THE WAY & MEANS FOR A SPONSOR TO REALIZE & CONTINUE THE LEGACY, HISTORY & DEMAND FOR OLD TIME RADIO PROGRAMMING.

Was the best radio app out there, not found anything even close to this good. Real shame. Hope someone re-invests in them so they can get up and running again.
