Used Trial, Then Bought it Because it Works Fine
I have to say, I haven’t used prior versions of this app because I’ve always used a separate browser like FireFox (use Safari or Chrome as my primary browser) to listen to Sirius XM channels when I’m not in the office. In the office we have a dedicated Grace Internet radio, so it’s nice to have something equivalent on the road or at customers and Radium uses a lot less resources than FireFox or some alternative browser. So, I found out about Radium and decided to give it a try since it’s a native Mac app that addresses a need I have.
Reasons I bought it after using the trial:
1. It works reliably while using office apps or games — never had it crash or act flaky.
2. It shows me a flash when the music changes while I’m in any app, which is a nice plus.
3. It keeps my most recent stations in the list window that comes up when I open it, which is all I need. A simple search for a channel I haven’t used in a while brings it up. The category and “nearby” options you see when you start to search are similar to our Grace Internet radio, which works fine.
4. It shows what’s playing in the menu bar, which is nice if I’m working and have a lot of windows open.
Every reason I read to not buy it in past and current negative reviews either did not happen when I used the app, doesn’t apply to me, overly-demanding/picky, or a forgiveable mistake on the part of the developer.
We need to support native Mac apps, especially like in this case when there have always been few to no apps available!
