SomaFM Radio Player App Reviews

I’ve been listening to SomaFM for… a long time… has to be more than 15 years at least. They cover several genres and are a great resource to become exposed to new artists from all over the world. This app is totally worth it to be able to listen while on the go. User interface is good and allows me to add my favorite stations to a list for quick and easy access. If you like SomaFM why not support them by purchasing the app. If you don’t know what SomaFM is, go visit their website and start list

Excellent selection of music, with no ads, no surveillance. I’m happy to be the customer rather than the product. Refreshing in the music industry!

I love Soma.FM and I’m happy to be supporting them. The app connects to each station very quickly, and the song history is very convenient. I wish the option to look up a song on iTunes was replaced with Spotify and Apple Music, and I wish there was a “now playing” bar at the bottom, right above the navigation buttons instead of the button on the bottom right corner. Regardless, I’ll be using this app a lot!

…just one thing. If they added a ‘Sleep in 120 minutes’ setting like the iPad app has… then, for me, SOMA’s iPhone app would be perfect. Although I imagine this setting is not available possibly due to overnight battery drainage. In that case I think 60 and 90 minute settings would suffice.

Every software engineer needs this 🧑‍💻

Can you please add more sleep timer options, i.e., 30min, 1hr, 1.5hr, and 2hr? Just 30min is too short.

SomaFM is truly one of a kind. No advertising, no tracking. A pure rarity in todays age where even the most insignificant apps track and sell everything they can get their grubby paws on. I look forward to being a supporter for the foreseeable future.

A music app where u pay once and use for life??!! Yes please. One thing that bothers me is fact that the app needs better support for very low volumes for when AirPods connected. There’s a huge jump in volume going from 5% sound volume to 4%!

I’ve been a fan and supporter of Soma FM for years. What’s not to like? This commercial free, listener supported streaming music resource is a one-of-a-kind, diverse collection of ever-changing programming that never disappoints. Please, check it out, give it a listen, and support this original musical experience that has literally something for everyone. In case you can’t tell, I LOVE SOMA FM, and you will, too!

Greatest app for EVERY mood / event type. From Groove Salad channel for uptempo techno, to Boot Liquor for folk/country, and everything in between. Love the oddball stuff too, like the SFPD police scanner channel with groovy music in background! You discover new tunes and artists all the time. Fantastic.

When this app is installed, and Siri is asked for instance “play rhinestone cowboy”, she replies “I need to access your somafm data. Is that okay?” I tried this on my iPhone and my iPad. If you remove the app the question goes away. If you reinstall the app the question reappears.

I love the app and the music, but it kills my battery life. MUCH more than any other music app. I want to rate this higher, but my battery shouldn't be draining to empty in just a few hours. IPhone 13 Mini.

It's so nice to listen to real music in every genre. I donate every year to keep this going, thank you Soma for years of the best music

I just discovered SomaFM, which on one hand is great because I now have a 24/7 source of great music, but in the other hand it’s terrible because now I know that I’ve been missing out for years! Seriously, SomaFM is amazing!

Love soma but this app is still not up to its potential. No 128 kb/s Eats battery like crazy.

Anyone having issues with it not connecting? I music has been playing for about a week

I have listened to Soma for years. So many options and variety of stations and tastes. The app is so easy to just jump right in and go. I appreciate the work these guys do.

Simply the best online radio station out there. Feels like yesterday when I discovered GrooveSalad on Winamp about 20 years ago. Glad that some things never change. Thanks Rusty.

I love SOMA out of San Francisco. Been listening for years. The music offers an extensive & varied selection and they do an amazing job of putting playlists together. I highly recommend this app for an impressive and excellent music experience.

Soma FM is amazing and the phone app is good. I just really wish it offered an Apple Watch app so we could stream on a cellular Apple Watch without a phone.

Get this, no way to regret it. Every taste imaginable.

I love listening to the music SomaFM programs and was thrilled to see there’s a version for Apple TV, but it would be 💯 times better if I could save my favorite stations like on the macOS version.

Electro, jazz, independent at its best. Holiday naughty station makes the season tolerable. No ads. Just intelligent music.

Could you guys please add the iPhone X layout support?

Awesome selection of music without ads!

Got to be some of the best chill music out there always laidback tasty groove to get through the day or night always just right 😋

The Soma FM channel is the #1 channel available for ambient music. I have contributed a small amount of money to keep their programs free of commercials. Please try to help them if you are using this app.

I love, love, love SOMA FM! It truly is alternative in the best way and commercial free. You can pick from a wide variety of genres. The DJs are so talented. Radio at its finest.

I’ve been listening since engineering school. I love the NASA stream. It allows me to keep hope that I’ll go to space one day.

THANK U for creating a super cool app with thousands of options of different music right @ my fingertip! No need for an MP3 player or to waste money on buying music by singles anymore! Absolutely recommend!

The product descriptions says you can stream to AirPlay devices. I have such a device but couldn’t figure out how to get it to stream. Needs a (?) link for people trying to figure out how to use this app. Good music, though.

Was excited about Siri integration in latest version of the app. Told Siri, “Play IndiePop Rocks on SomaFM.” What I got was some random Goo Goo Dolls playlist from Apple Music. 😂

Why have chrome cast “integration” if you can’t turn off the screen or even change apps?? Seems pretty pointless. Otherwise great app but that is a pretty silly oversight.

Love SomaFM and I would even love it more if we can get this app to stream the high quality streams SomaFM ALREADY provides. Right now I have to use another radio app to get those streams. Please integrate it soon. Maybe as a Christmas gift? :)

We have been listening soma for 5 years now and we include music everywhere we go, friends, dinner, car, nature we just love going with the vibe and it always matches our vibe as well. Thank you so much.

Very few radios, which probably no one listens to.

I use this app on my Apple TV, iMac and iPhone....I think it offers one of the best ways to get good chill-out & relax ambiance/background music. I use it all the time.

I’ve been listening to Soma for years and it’s just so amazing. Favorite channels are 7inch Soul, left coast 70’s and the NEW reggae channel!!! Perfect for parties, camping, house cleaning, driving .... you get the idea. SomaFM rules!!!

I might listen to other ‘stations’ for a while. But I keep coming back to Soma FM.

works well and best of all it’s free! they rock

Tied with Books for most used app.

I have been listening to Soma for many years. It is amazing! Groove Salad and Digitalist are my favorite.!

There's a station or 5 for everyone.

I have enjoyed SomaFM since I discovered SquidRadio (now Groove Salad) way back in the early 2000’s! Now expanded with many more fantastic stations, SomaFM is an easy choice for any and all listening excursions! Highest recommendation!

Absolutely love SomaFM. Been a listener for almost 15 years now. Secret Agent, Illinois Street Lounge, Seven Inch Soul, so many more great stations. Love it and support it!
