IHeart Radio has been sweeping the nation and all of my friends as a better alternative to Pandora so I decided to try it. I found the mobile app a little confusing, adding a playlist was easy but I didn't know what the other buttons were for and I "got lost" or kicked out of pages I wanted to stay on accidentally. I wish they had a brief tutorial in the beginning of using it so I didn't feel like a goof asking some of my friends how to work the app. I like a lot of music and I have very diverse tastes which is why I loved Pandora, it would select songs that would satisfy my needs for diversity. IHeart Radio just didn't get it right. I don't feel the software is as intuitive as Pandora is. Frequently I would create a playlist and I would skip so many songs I couldn't skip anymore, you are only allowed so many skips at a time on each station so I found myself creating unnecessary stations/playlists with similar artists just to find that I would have the same problem over and over. I like music that isn't mainstream and I got a lot of mainstream, already-played-out songs that all sounded the same! Using IHeart Radio on a computer is a lot easier for me as I can hover over a button and it will tell me what that button is for but it still lacks the ability to predict the music I like. I still use IHeart radio for a few of their pre-made channels like spin cycle for when I go to the gym but otherwise I don't use them.

I am in love with i Heart Radio-the name is truly accurate! I used to use Pandora, but I have found that iHeart Radio has fewer commercials, and plays different commercials instead of the same one over and over again! It is by far less annoying and better music. The variety of music on each station is excellent-it is exactly what you would expect for the station name. I like "caffeinated country" station and it is quite accurate-the station plays upbeat and energized country music from today and yesterday, creating a great variety while still keeping your interest with the genre of music. It does not use much data on my data plan (even unlimited data plans still have a maximum limit sadly so I keep careful watch of this) and it is free! It is quick and simple to download and I can listen to music for hours while at work or plugging my phone into the stereo in the car. iHeart Radio never lets me down!
