An editorial reading of the saved reviews

iHeart is strong as a radio station aggregator and for accessing broadcasts from across the country, but as a music player it is weak: you cannot choose a specific track, the algorithm mixes genres arbitrarily, and there is no offline mode at all.

What people use it for

Traditional radio fans who need broadcast access while on the go

What reviews praise

You can listen to your favorite local station from anywhere in the country.

What reviews complain about

The catalog works like radio, not a player: no track selection and no queue management.

What users experience

3 excerpts from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

The app always crashes within 1-3 mins of opening in CarPlay. It crashes when it shares CarPlay space with another app (eg Waze) or apps. This needs to be fixed asap!

I like iHeart radio but I've been listening to Micheal Jackson and the Jackson 5 a lot and when the first song is done it puts on a random song other than Micheal Jackson and the Jackson 5. So what I want is just PLEASE put all Micheal Jackson and Jackson 5 in the radio other than random stuff.

I used to live on Cape Cod, and I listen to WBZ all the time on my commute. I live in Atlanta now, and it's nice. I can still listen to a little bit of Home.
