1. ★★★★★constant crashes and background battery drain

   Drains battery and overheats phone. This had been a great app at one point, and stations are great still if I try it, but the app is currently so poorly written that it drains my phone by 5% or more for just a single song, and overheats my phone with all the cpu it overuses. As an app it’s unusable in its current state.

2. ★★★★★constant crashes and background battery drain

   Too HOT. Can some fix the app please? Im on iphone 17 pro and this app overheats my phone and drains the battery.

3. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Drains battery even when charging. At some point there was an update that just kills this app. iPhone 15 gets hot and battery drains in minutes, and it’s only when using this app. Shame.

4. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

   App crashes on iPad and iPhone no response from support. LiveOne stopped working on both my iPhone and ipad support has not followed up as of yet

5. ★★★★★privacy and excessive permissions

   Drains and heats up the iPhone. Even after rebooting and going into settings-privacy,security-turn off all tracking improvements still drains the battery like crazy and heats up the iPhone. Please fix this.

6. ★★★★★constant crashes and background battery drain

   Drains the battery on iOS 26. After installing iOS 26 on both an iPhone 16 Pro Max as well as a 17 Pro Max, this app drains the battery crazy fast. This morning LiveOne used 45% battery with 1 min on screen and 1hr 34m in the background. That is beyond ridiculous. Pls fix, I love this app in general.

7. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   12 year long subscription ending.. It was good while it lasted. Affordable streaming service with quality music turned into a data collection service. I don’t know what you’re attempting to do but no other app on this phone makes my battery overheat. Moving on to Spotify. Buh bye.

   Great Music, Flawed App. I’ve had this app for years. Recently it’s developed a problem where it overheats the phone and the battery use is off the charts. 1% used per minute. Support is useless. I’m waiting one more cycle before canceling.

9. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Won’t load. Was working fine today, then suddenly stopped. Keeps buffering. Tried multiple stations, same thing. Tried updating. Tried Data and WiFi. Still buffers. Rebooted the app, nothing. More stars when fixed as I can’t listen. Wasted my free 30 minutes of unlimited listening.

10. ★★★★★constant crashes and background battery drain

    Drains batter and phone gets hot. Recent update will drain your battery in an hour just listening to downloaded audio, even in airplane mode. Major bug

11. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Poor streaming, worse customer service. Customer service was very unprofessional and rude when contacted regarding streaming issues. No issues during free trial, the. After I pay for a year, all kinds of issues pop up. Trash service, even worse customer service.

12. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Recent update. This recent update I noticed my phone gets hot whenever the app is on.

13. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    March update caused issues. Was a decent music app but thinking about cancelling my account now because of the recent update. The phone overheating and draining my iPhone battery so quickly is a big problem.

14. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Terrible customer service. I paid for one year of service last June. Today I wanted to upgrade so I could download some music. I noticed my credit card was expired so I hit cancel. It cancelled my account. I no longer have the subscription. No, it doesn’t end in June. It ended when I hit cancel, meaning cancel, don’t upgrade. I emailed them and no response. I tried to chat and apparently no humans actually work here. Bizarre they do not let you listen for the remainder of what you paid for, seems illegal. I live in New York so it probably is, being the overstepping nanny state and all. I will get Leticia James on it asap.

15. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    iPhone heats up. App makes my iPhone extremely hot when running

16. ★★★★★slow performance and long loading times

    Heat issue. I love the music but I am experiencing the heat and battery drain issues. Now I listen sparingly and maybe not at all soon.

17. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Used to be awesome. I’ve had this app for 10+ years and it was very good for a very long time. About 6 months ago they started messing with my algorithm and wouldn’t play my favorites. It took about 4 months but they seem to have that fixed now. The new issue that arose about a week ago makes the app unusable. The app now does something to your phone that nukes the battery. Your phone will get very very hot and you can watch the battery percentage drop like a rock. If this doesn’t get fixed soon they will lose a 10+ year subscription paying customer. Beware of serious issues with this app.

18. ★★★★★constant crashes and background battery drain

    Fix battery draining. Love selection of music but is over heating phone and draining too fast battery

19. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Subscribed to premium but still have basic. Purchased premium for $10.99 but app still shows basic, retrieve iTunes purchase does not work.

20. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Was good until now. Been a premium subscriber since Slacker in 2008 and stayed with the LiveOne platform throughout all these years. I found out today nearly half the music I’ve favorited and downloaded to play offline, over 500 are missing. Something about no license to play. I’m extremely disappointed. If the artists and songs missing don’t come back by the end of year you’ve lost a customer. Please get the licensing fixed

21. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Junk. Was good a few years ago. Now I cannot even connect with any account, Tesla account or personal. And just see what happens changing your password and you can’t login for 3 days. 💀

22. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Forced to use with Tesla. Broken for a month. Tesla’s streaming now requires LiveOne account. It’s been broken since and I can’t get streaming working. I used the app to register and this may be the problem. I’ve emailed support countless times but there are useless. Now I need to escalate to Tesla since these guys are clueless.

23. ★★★★★support does not respond or resolve the issue

    Took my money. Account doesn’t existing.. Tesla switch over to this and I upgraded. Took my money and I could not login. PW reset and my account didn’t exists. No response from customer support and it been several days.

24. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

    Rude customer support. Stopped using LiveOne which was Slacker then changed to LivexLive. Just wanted to delete my account after not using for almost 5 years now. Rude customer support keeps asking me to do a list of things which was already done before I stopped using the service and keeps insisting on doing these.

25. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    PLEASE JUST GET SPOTIFY. This app is TERRIBLE, if you want to play a specific song you have to either buy live one plus, or wait for it to come up on that song’s radio which sometimes isn’t for 10 or 20 songs!! Please don’t download Live One and just get Spotify instead.

26. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Like it except annoying features. I have used for a long time, nut i just hate that app has to stay open to listen to music. So im at the gym and i cant keep open. I lime curated station like alternative countdown, but Just give me spotify.. too annoying

27. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Better than nothing. I just canceled my account that I have had for 4 years. They repeated 5 times in less than an hour songs that I have banned. Last straw, I’m done.

28. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Adds Only. So you listen to the adds for 30 minutes uninterrupted and it plays 10 seconds then stops for an add again. I don’t know how anyone can use this app at all.

29. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Usage. I try to use this while commuting to work but always end back to Apple Music or pandora Which are easier to change stations and find the music I want to hear and NOT what X wants me to listen to. I keep trying but the main page is too busy and hard to do at a glance.

30. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Absolutely terrible. DO NOT BUY! ITS NOT WORTH YOUR MONEY OR TIME. Are you freaking kidding me this app is ridiculous it just keeps giving you ads and won’t leave you alone about subscribing wich you should not do it won’t let you back out you can’t even pick your song and you only have limited skips. and please developers of this stupid app please respond to me
