This app is not only incredible because its simple and entertaining. But because my favorite Radio Show is Elvis Duran and he is on there for me everyday. I only get to listen to the show for 45 minutes to an hour and so I rely ok n I Heart to play his shows, later after work I get to enjoy all of it.

I just appreciate your app and love the system. Thanks for making something as unique and a awesome app that has every single type of music, it has a variety of different elements that make it better than Pandora.

Thanks again

P.S. I need to add that the Amazon Customer Service Reps answering the phones (anytime day or NIGHT!) Are so professional, personable, and fast. Every time I've had an issue with my Kindle, Amazon has called me immediately and done everything they could to not only fix the problem but they show you thing's you may not of known about your Kindle and how to maneuver the apps and programs to make it suit your every day needs. They've never got impatient, sarcastic, or acted like someone needing help is a waste of their time. They are genuine and I can't say enough good things about my experiences. I myself am in the Customer Service industry and when someone treats me like there talking to a friend not a customer I want to continue to use and purchase whatever I may need from them and tell all my friends, family or business how great and easy Amazon is.

Thanks for your hard work and dedication to helping customer

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, and Much Better than Pandora!
Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2015

I was told to try iHeart Radio once Pandora started being a butthead. While Pandora is great, it started randomly shutting off on my phone, can take forever to load one song, or have an ad literally every other song. So I tried iHeart Radio. Why not? It's free. And man, am I glad I did! You can make your own station just from saying what one song you like, which is what I wanted, and you can tell it whether you like or dislike a song, so it will tailor itself to what you like. You get an ad when you first start your app, and then it plays smooth and as long as you want! I think my favorite part is that you can pin your favorite station straight to your home screen. I have an Android phone, so I can't say that it happens on Windows or Apple products, but I love just having to press the one button and have it open the station I want. It saves me a button press, and lets me just press the button and lock the phone to get to work. I think the only con for this app is I can't listen to stand up comedians, and I can't figure out how to make a Broadway Musicals station. For those, I'm stuck with Pandora, but I can deal with that. I don't listen to musicals and comedians as much, now that I have iHeart Radio anyway. It has only randomly shut down once, but it was playing for three hours straight, so I didn't think it was an app problem. It's smooth, doesn't take long to load, and offers lyrics for nearly every song!

It is really nice. I would recommend getting it. You can make your own playlists and everything, but the membership thing is really dumb. I can't skip songs, or play individual songs, and I also don't like how the app put songs on my playlist that won't let me take them off, but overall it is a really good app.

5.0 out of 5 stars Decided to try after hearing them featured on the radio
Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2014
Verified Purchase
I also decided to give listening to the iheartradio feature after seeing them featured online-through one of the local radio stations in the Washington d.c. area. Anyhow, as in Pandora, iheartradio carries a wide range of music and stations to listen to. It is hard for me to choose whether I like Pandora or iheartradio more due to both apps containing a diverse range of music. Additionally, iheartradio has played music that has been a major mood booster for me during times that my faith and trust have been tested. I also like that iheartradio recommends other stations to try as I’m listening to their music. I have over 30 music stations in my iheartradio profile due to my diverse tastes in music. For instance, the don’t stop dancing radio station came into my awareness after iheartradio featured it to me as a result of the different music I have already listened to on their site. The number of stations and musicians that I have featured in my iheartradio profile could take up another review. However, here is a sampler of the stations/artists that the iheartradio app and website have allowed me to save in my profile; Madonna, pet shop boys, deppeche mode, tiesto, armin van buuren, calvin harris, 2am ambient, pitbull,dancin 90s, Britney spears , adam lambert, euro-dance, Darren hayes, foofighters, the 90s unglued, one republic, lasgo, Swedish house mafia, ellie Goulding, Fergie, robin Williams and many more that could take up the length of the minimum words required for another amazon review. As you can see, the app and website of iheartradio is perfect for those who enjoy a wide range of preferences in music.
