★★★★★Oct 20, 2026

Does not cast to my echo dots. I used to listen to HR 3, Bayern 3, etc. all the time on TuneIn on my Alex. The functionality to cast it to my Alex devices doesn't work from this app when you are in the US. I tried various things and the app cannot connect to my echo dots. So for now I can only listen to my fav radio on my cell phone.

★★★★★Oct 15, 2026

Leider kann man nicht mehr Titel aus der Playlist kopieren. Bitte fügt dieses Feature wieder hinzu, um Songs bei Spotify, YouTube und co zu finden. Ider fügt einen direkten Link hinzu.

★★★★★Oct 12, 2026

Ich habe Probleme mit dem Offline Hören. Ich kann Folgen herunterladen, und diese angeblich abspielen. Aber sobald die Internetverbimdumg nicht mehr verfügbar ist, bricht die Wiedergabe ab. Evtl. in Verbindung mit der Nutzung des externen Speichers. Auch Queuing hat mir Probleme gemacht. Es wurden andere Folgen abgespielt als angezeigt. Ob das aktuell noch so ist, weiss ich nicht.

★★★★★Oct 12, 2026

Bislang ließen sich die Angebote der Öffentlich-Rechtlichen wunderbar über offene RSS-Feeds und Syndication-Dienste nutzen - bisher. Jetzt wird ein wunderbar funktionierendes offenes System deaktiviert und alle Leute gezwungen diese App zu benutzen. Nein danke.

Sounds war ein Fehler, es heißt Audiothek

★★★★★Oct 11, 2026

app is a data hog. do not use this app. it will consune 2x the amount of mobile data. side by side comarison between 2 competitor Apps. ARD Sounds consumes mobile data with rotating Image Ads which cannot be turned off.
