Comments on ServeStream for Android

★★★★★ Thomas Hurst · Jan 20, 2020
Simple and open source web streamer. Perfect for those of us that already have the URLs of the web radio we want to listen to!
★★★★★ Evie Boleyn · Apr 2, 2024
Perfect for listening to my favorite shout cast streams, including my own auto stream
★★★★☆ mackisus94 ! · Jun 1, 2022
Nice streaming app! This will auto-connect your radio streams and play them over Bluetooth. Now, i don't have to fiddle with the phone every time I get back into my car, for the most part. It sometimes does not play for whatever reason, and you'll have to manually start the stream again.
★☆☆☆☆ Wally Malicki · Apr 18, 2020
doesn't work. I keyed in an ip address (which is more valid than any dns name url) and the app told me to key in a valid url. If an ip addr is not a valid url addr, i don't know what is! Useless...
★☆☆☆☆ John Gilmore · Aug 20, 2019
When given an url for a mp3 file over http, this app could not open it. The browser can, but this can't. Same when given a m3u file of urls. Useless.
★☆☆☆☆ Guy Fieri · Oct 24, 2020
Hasn't been updated for years. Constantly drops connection and fails to reconnect. This isn't a station or connection issue. Useless garbo. Tried it again, app still blows. Constant disconnect on Wi-Fi!!!
