The honest half
Where it falls short
Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about iHeartRadio.
- Ad-free listening requires an iHeartRadio Plus or All Access subscription
- Unlimited skips and unlimited playlist creation require a paid subscription
- Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends
- Any unused part of a free trial is forfeited when a subscription is purchased
- The iOS app requires iOS 15.0 or later

Softwr does not host reviews and shows no star rating for iHeartRadio, because a rating we did not collect is not ours to publish. What is here is the pricing and platform detail from the vendor’s own pages, limitations we could state concretely, and alternatives a reviewer confirmed people weigh against it. Tell us if any of it is wrong.
