    I really love this app! Now my family and I can listen to songs that are family-friendly. I really love how many stations there are. I was wondering if you could add radio stations on there too...

    Anyway, a great app. I really recommend this app for kids of all ages. Or, perhaps, maybe just someone who wants clean music to listen to.

    1.0 out of 5 stars NOT FAMILY APPROPRIATE 🗣️🚩
    Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    I foolishly assumed this station was safe for my kids so I always let them listen to it. My kids were listening to it when Handclap by Fitz and the Tantrums came on. I never stopped to listen to the lyrics of that song but assumed it was safe since it was on the FAMILY station. Then I saw my 7 year old daughter mouthing the lyrics “ You're like a dr*g to me, a luxury, my sugar and gold. I want your s*x and your affection” 😡

    There are somethings I don't understand about this .So there are some songs that bleep out cusing ,but there was one song on one of the music channels that has the F-word and it's not even bleeped out.I couldn't even believe it was true.There is also a song that that has the B-word in it and it's isn't bleeped out either.I'm just confused ,because this a kids/family radio app .There is no consistency .There are some some songs that have practically the whole sentence bleeped out ,but there are other songs that don't even bleep out the worst of the curse words.If mean if your going to do something,go big or go home I always say.🤔😮😯😲❓❓❓:-(

    I got this specifically for the North Pole Radio station for the Holidays and was not disappointed. Santa coming on the radio every few seconds made it extra fun. Family friendly with not one problem. I have not yet listened to any of the other stations for long but am pleased with what I have heard so far.
