I don’t know how I’d survive without Soma. I’ve been listening since the early 2000’s and I’ve put it on every single day since then. It’s given me so much exposure to music that I otherwise likely wouldn’t have found otherwise (special shout out to Illinois Street Lounge, Groove Salad/GS Classic, and Secret Agent). It’s second nature for me to turn it on while driving, working, cooking, cleaning, reading, you name it. Far and away the best radio ever and I hope it stays around for my entire lifetime because as I mentioned before I don’t know how I’d live without it. Massive thanks to Rusty and the rest of the Soma team, keep it up! Show more

A music app where u pay once and use for life??!! Yes please. One thing that bothers me is fact that the app needs better support for very low volumes for when AirPods connected. There’s a huge jump in volume going from 5% sound volume to 4%! Show more

SomaFM is truly one of a kind. No advertising, no tracking. A pure rarity in todays age where even the most insignificant apps track and sell everything they can get their grubby paws on. I look forward to being a supporter for the foreseeable future. Show more

Can you please add more sleep timer options, i.e., 30min, 1hr, 1.5hr, and 2hr? Just 30min is too short.

Greatest app for EVERY mood / event type. From Groove Salad channel for uptempo techno, to Boot Liquor for folk/country, and everything in between. Love the oddball stuff too, like the SFPD police scanner channel with groovy music in background! You discover new tunes and artists all the time. Fantastic. Show more

Update: Since I wrote the first review four years ago the default rate in the app has gone up to 128k. This makes me happy and I use it much more! Old: I love the SomaFM network. Love! I have a monthly donations set up and stations like Poptron, Secret Agent, and Suburbs of Goa power my commute. But why is the bandwidth on the official app so low? I have it set to “Always High” but most of the stations play at 64k AAC. I have the same station playing on a generic radio app and it’s 128 AAC. So the stream is there. Even with cheap earbuds the quality difference is enough to skip the app. It seems a shame. This would be one of my most-used apps if it simply played at a higher bitrate. Show more

When this app is installed, and Siri is asked for instance “play rhinestone cowboy”, she replies “I need to access your somafm data. Is that okay?” I tried this on my iPhone and my iPad. If you remove the app the question goes away. If you reinstall the app the question reappears. Show more

I love the app and the music, but it kills my battery life. MUCH more than any other music app. I want to rate this higher, but my battery shouldn't be draining to empty in just a few hours. IPhone 13 Mini. Show more

I’ve been a fan and supporter of Soma FM for years. What’s not to like? This commercial free, listener supported streaming music resource is a one-of-a-kind, diverse collection of ever-changing programming that never disappoints. Please, check it out, give it a listen, and support this original musical experience that has literally something for everyone. In case you can’t tell, I LOVE SOMA FM, and you will, too! Show more

It's so nice to listen to real music in every genre. I donate every year to keep this going, thank you Soma for years of the best music

When I use it to stream it kills my battery. Could you please loo into it. SOMA is great. The app so so

I just discovered SomaFM, which on one hand is great because I now have a 24/7 source of great music, but in the other hand it’s terrible because now I know that I’ve been missing out for years! Seriously, SomaFM is amazing! Show more

Still Number 1 :-)

... back in the days when the students did the programming, engineering, and announcing; bought the LPs, beer, and popcorn; slept on the tumbling mats liberated from the ancient gym; and played only music they were passionate about. Music that mattered. Music that just had to be shared with everyone within the area where the signal decided to travel. That’s what Soma brings to these uncertain days. And obviously I think they do it just right. Show more

I have listened to Soma for years. So many options and variety of stations and tastes. The app is so easy to just jump right in and go. I appreciate the work these guys do. Show more

Anyone having issues with it not connecting? I music has been playing for about a week

Simply the best online radio station out there. Feels like yesterday when I discovered GrooveSalad on Winamp about 20 years ago. Glad that some things never change. Thanks Rusty.

I've been listening to SOMA FM stations through other apps for years- i don't know why i suddenly thought to look for their own app yesterday. Finally!! It's so great. I have an update wish- on the Apple TV version : can you add 'Now Playing' to the top menu?? Show more

Soma FM is amazing and the phone app is good. I just really wish it offered an Apple Watch app so we could stream on a cellular Apple Watch without a phone. Show more

Love the app and great selection of music; listen to it a lot. It seems that a recent iOS update causes a conflict that didn’t exist before. Adjusting the volume on the app causes a similar adjustment to the master volume control for my iPhone. If Soma volume is turned down for drifting off to sleep, the phone won’t ring, etc. Missed some calls before got it figured out; easy to demonstrate. Using iPhone SE, some other phones may not be affected. Show more
