SomaFM Radio Player

Soma FM, the only good thing to come out of San Francisco since the 60's. Sad thing is that I have donated several times because I like the variety so much. Seems that all I need to do is start working with both hands and it mysteriously stalls, usually not restarting.

Been listening to Soma for years, but never used this app. Now I've solved my issues of trying to get groove salad onto my chromecast. Thank you, Soma, for the music and this app.

For the most part it works well. And is 50 times easier to use than finding streams in the winamp app or in the phone browser and doing various link copy/paste nonsense. I occasionally need to restart the app/restart the streams. Not often. Specific stations just never work. DroneZone specifically has never worked unless I switch to the low bandwidth stream. AAC is disabled. ( I know that didn't work on my phone - Galaxy S2) Most of the time when the app is running and I have gone to the home screen when I go back to the soma app it will reload, display the splash screen for a few seconds as if the app is starting for the first time. Music continues to play while this happens. Edit 2016-04-15 Downgrading to 3 stars. Music just stops playing all the time. I need to restart the stream, or close/restart the app. If I try to listen all work day long. I will need to restart 20-40 times. No difference on Wifi..

UPDATE!!!! THIS IS STUPID I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT AGAIN?!?!?!?! WHY?!?!?! i listened to this app daily, and now that i got a new phone i have to pay 8 bucks?!?!!?!?! no i'm sorry Soma, you may have just lost a faithful listener One of the best stations around been listening to somafm for close to 6 years now. Keep up the good work

The only time my phone restarts on its own is when this app is running. It also tends to stop playing regularly. Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime.

The design is a little bit of a letdown. The notification icon, the notification controls, the main UI look outdated.

Always in my groove salad! This app is great on battery life. Perfect app ! Don't change a thing! Agree with others about how unbloated this app is. So glad you included the option to donate.

Original review was a very long time ago. Happy to say the app is now a 5star for me :-) // Love Somafm but don't like the app. Buggy on my older version. Doesn't load sometimes and tends to lock up. An exit button would be nice. $4 is too pricey for this app bit maybe the donations will be used for an update.

Would be great if you could get a material redesign ;)

Been listening to SOMAFM since 2009. Great music, great dj's, no commercials. Love it.

I must say I love the radio stations on this app especially Groove Salad and DefCon radio but my god this is one buggy app, it also looks very dated and stops all the time, please fix and update!

Listen to drone zone every night at bed.

Thanks to SomaFM for updating their app, it now works like a charm on my phone.

Its far from being a great experience and streams get dropped often despite having an LTE connection, but even with those gripes and complaints I'll still support the SomaFM team with this app with the hopes of them improve upon its UI and connectivity issues. After all its the tunes we're here for, and for that alone they get my 4xSTARS.

Love the interface and features :)

Great app from a great station. If you like what they play, send SOMA some $$.

You will find all underground bands songs and the rare wonderful rock, alternative songs.

Unique Sound in all channels !!!! Change the LOGO please :)

Play Music streams perfectly for hours. You Tube streams perfectly for hours. Soma crashes every few minutes regardless of settings. Useless.

this is still the best way to listen to the best Internet radio network but gosh darn does it need a material design update along with fixes to stop the audio cutting out so much

Bug: Playback randomly stops

Awesome music range, just what I was looking for.

5*s Period. Words can't say it enough.

Nuff said

Excellent programming, both music-wise and app-wise. Glad to have Chromecast support now. Thank you!

Deep Space One and Groove Salad! <3

App keeps crashing amd can't stay connected

Excelent job ;)

Latest update sporiadically throws connection errors and cuts. Xiia Live plays the same stream without problems.

the best app here!

Love it.

Luv It

Gjj

Wow

Chill tunes, good times, great oldies! Excellent app to ensure you get the greatest music all of the time. Happy to have purchased this app so I get my daily dose of groove salad while I work!

If you install this app expecting to hear songs you know you will be disappointed. It's just songs from unknown garage bands. Uninstalled.

The music is fantastic! Sometimes music stream via this app does not reconnect when 3G is lost (driving car) Then pause and play needed to restart music.

Been listening for over years. Love the music, but the app often crashes my Note 4 and also locks it up momentarily on occasion.

The best of the best, one of the ORIGINAL internet radio stations. This company was streaming online stations back when many of the kids weren't even born yet. They made it through the DMCA, the copyright royalty wars, etc. Have to support them fully for bringing fresh indie chill out music.

It has a few bugs here and there, and is all around very ugly. ☺
