  Love it way more than pandora and iTunes Radio.

• Great Subscription Options

  by cmoore70

  Better options make this service a great alternative. Love the music it provides and the fact I can take a ton of music with me on my ipod without paying a small fortune for the honor.

• Great

  by Your boyyyyyyy

  Honestly just a great app. No nonsense, works when you want it, and has great music. Give it a try!

• Big rip off

  by chris ford

  I paid the $4 a month thinking that I would get all the features. Boy was I wrong. I will never use this app again. Also my subscription is canceled.

• Good App

  by Chester Honeycutt

  Goo music app. The user interface is ugly and cluttered...not good if you're a runner. But a pretty good app.

• Huge variety and selection of music

  by Tiorik

  I set up an account with Slacker to build stations with favorite artists, but I listen a lot to various pre-built station, and really enjoy them. Only issue is that it occasionally drops off and has to be restarted. Great app, with enormous store of songs from Slacker.

• Great music with great features!

  by 78rn

  The music is great but the "Fine tune" feature and the ability to cache stations puts this app above the rest.

• Love it, love it, love it!!!!!!!!!!!!

  by K5wilson

  LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!

• Slacker > Pandora

  by ProCSkidd

  First learned about this because it was integrated in my Tesla. At first, I was disappointed it was not Pandora. Then I realized, it is so much better than Pandora. Biggest +, it is not repetitive

• Always a good song!

  by Achia

  It's a great app for music and is much better then Pandora!

• My Vibe is the best!

  by skbeez

  I don't always know what I want to listen to, and may other stations have attempted to solve this problem but if think the "My Vibe" based on what I'm doing is the best answer!

• Great App

• If you're not a fan of Slacker then you're not a fan of music

  by ThaTipperSon

  I've been a premium customer 4 so long can't even remember and all I know is I don't burn CDs anymore cuz it's pointless I alwayz hear new music b4 anybody else i know and I don't know what I'd do without u guyz just keep it goin strong!!!!...much luv y'all=]

• Ads ads ads

  by Fleuristic

  As if the frequency of the ads wasn't enough you have to X out of them at the end. As much as I love reaching for my phone while driving this is clearly a deal breaker. Back to Pandora and iTunes Radio I guess.

• The best!

  by Alberto Jimenez

  I love this app. It's a must have for the eclectic music lover. So many genres!

• Vibe

• Awesome

  by luvleyleo23

  Much better than Pandora!

• Could use some work

  by Colten Dash

  It's better than pandora, but I still believe there are some things that could use some work. Love the playlist abilities, but unless you pay for the upgrade you may never hear songs you want. Other than a few small things, this is as good as its gonna get.

• Totally the best !!!

  by Pings78

  Best music streaming app out there plays better combinations and any song I could want to hear love it !!!

• Best music app ever!!

  by LucyMetalGoddess

  Other than a couple bugs in the system still, I rate Slacker the highest and best music app out there

• Loving Slacker

  by R86gnrare

  Used to swear by Pandora, but after using Slacker Radio once, I was hooked and have only used it ever since.

• Great app

  by SupErCaliFRAgiListIcEXpIalADoCIoUS

  Better than pandora. I love the song selection. Terrific app!!

• Love it.

  by Nydia_The_MUA

  It's absolutely fabulous. I like it way better than pandora.

• Not good

  by Boo-oob

  I used to be a huge fan of slacker but their horribly buggy app has pushed me to cancel my subscription. I've submitted bug reports and they reply after a few weeks that the newest update fixes them but it's almost never true. Every time I stop playback for more than a few minutes it loses track of what song it was playing and starts a new one. This has been ongoing for months. It's significant because it rarely plays my favorite songs even though I have that setting turned up. Recently It will just stop playing music. I have to go pull up the app.. It says it's playing but I have to stop and start it to get it to play again. Oh and whatever you do, don't add iron maiden to your station, it will go wild playing bad hair metal music and almost never actually play iron maiden music!

• Love It.

  by Segilman

  To all the negative reviewers who complain about too many commercials...pay the $3.99 a month and never worry about it again. I'm sorry that you feel they should not make any money in ads.They have to pay the bills. This includes royalities to ASCAP and the likes to broadcast the music you want to hear. Besides those of us who pay the monthly fees, they have to have cash coming in.They're out to make money just like anyone else in this world.

• Best music app ever.

  by Mertjk8

  I love this app. You can literally listen to anything here!! Highly recommend.

• 5 stars big time!

  by Benjibuttons

  Best music app. Better than all the other BS. Super easy to use! I love slacker!

• A non repetitive radio app

  by MachineGun831

  Being able to download your radio stations to listen to offline for $3.99 a month is actually a way better deal than pandora. Pandora doesn't allow that and their monthly fee is 3.99. This app is so convenient for me for the reason that I'm running it on my iTouch so I'm always on the go and I have my radio stations already pre loaded for offline mode! One thing that does bother me is that you can't go back and listen to the previous track you just heard :( and do that slacker is wanting 9.99 a month. I'm Kool..

• Simply Great

  by Granttheguy

  An awesome variety of music!

• Slacker - Glitches

  by _I_r_e_n_e_

  I love to use slacker all the time! Honestly I think it's better than pandora and one of the best radios here. But recently, for about one or two months every now and then it goes to a commercial and it shuts down on its own. It's really frustrating because I love to use slacker all the time.

• Slacker has more features

  by Kibbyr

  I especially appreciate the ABC news channel and the ability to cache stations for offline listening. I'm lazy and don't have time to mess with creating my own playlists. Slacker's stations make it easier to listen to the genres of music that meet my mood.

• The best!

  by RonZombie44

  Love slacker!! Sound quality is good and great selection of music. However, the latest menu could be improved some. Thanks for being available Slacker!!

• slacker and only SLACKER

  by Dwalsh0615

  I used to be tied to my iTunes account I am addicted to music - I was running a serious budget deficit ... But none of the other internet radios quite did it for me, they were either too repetitive or didn't have the functionality - the portability and flexibility that I needed to fuel my day with my music. Then one day I found slacker - and my budget thanks me!!! I pay for the premium membership and it is worth EVERY PENNEY. Making my own playlists, having queued content, being able to bookmark and play songs at will from all over time and space - PRICELESS. I can't tell you how many of my friends and family I have sold slacker to - for me seeing someone using something else means they haven't seen the light... (And they have fantastic customer service! Issues reported are fixed ASAP) thank you Slacker for an awesome product!!!

• Best music player ever

  by Bamn314

  Slacker is by far a lot better than pandora. I love how I can download all my favorite songs to a playlist. The reason I give it four stars is the songs aren't able to be kept in alphabetical order and you can't search through the songs you add to your play list. Another thing I'm really hoping you guys can fix is that if I add a song to a playlist that already has that song it shouldn't make a double of that song. If you guys fix these little things I will gladly give them 5 stars because everything else about slacker radio is much better than pandora or any other music app

• Turn off the freaking Do you live slacker? pop ups

  by Hammond Egger

  I mainly listen to slacker in the shower using a shower speaker. At least half the time I try to skip a track and can't due to the fact that a stupid Do you love slacker? window pops up which prevents controlling the app until you select yes or no. Kind of hard to do while you are in the shower. Is Slacker really that insecure that this is necessary? When are streaming services going to realize that people want an uninterrupted stream of music and the more they can provide that, the happier people will be?

• I love Slacker

  by Ripmaverick

  I listen every day. Love the customizable settings.
