SiriusXM - Music, Comedy, Sports, News

Introduction

I am a big fan of SiriusXM and have been subscribed to Sirius for about two years now. I listen to my favorite music, comedy and enjoy football games that are not streamed in my area from my Mac at all times. I am a loyal customer, to say the least. This is why I was excited to hear that they had an iOS and Google Android app. I knew I had to get the app because it would make things even more interesting for me because all I would need is my phone. Here’s my honest opinion about the app.

Features

Catch the hottest music from around the world with hundreds of stations to choose from. Now you can enjoy ad-free music at home, in the car, or anywhere you want. But that's not all because SiriusXM lets you listen to all your favorite talk shows, sports, entertainment, and comedy shows with a single touch of a button.

With On Demand programming, you can get access to hundreds of hours of content - seamlessly and in high-quality audio. Want a mix of your favorite channels and stations? Simply create a playlist of what you want and sit back and relax. Customize your listening experience with comedy and music channels or choose the live-only channels and catch up with all the latest news, sports, entertainment, and more. Looking for a specific channel or station? The enhanced search feature lets you find anything you want within seconds. Even when you don't know what you're looking for, SiriusXM makes suggestions based on your listening habits so you're never bored.

Unlike most radio apps, SiriusXM delivers a more detailed and more personalized listening experience. The reason behind this is the fact that you get a plethora of features that help customize your favorites. For starters, you can easily mix your favorite music and comedy shows to give you the opportunity to get the best of both worlds without having to switch back and forth between channels. The app also lets you stream live channels and listen to concerts, musicals, and other events as they happen. The On-Demand feature lets you select your favorite content and save them for later so you can listen to it when you have time.

Don't have the Internet to listen to your favorite talk shows? With SiriusXM, you can save all your favorites and listen to them later offline. Heard a new song and want to share it with your friends? You can easily do so with the various social media features available on the app. Share through Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and more instantly. Customize your search like never before with detailed search options and filters. Find your favorite content through artist names, genre, category, and more. Or, you can simply let SiriusXM make suggestions for you based on what you've been listening to.

Usability

When I got the app, I was hoping that it would help me fix the problem of losing reception that I was experiencing when using my Sportster radio. Every time my antenna would pass under an obstruction, I would lose reception, and it would take a while before I got it back. However, this is not a problem with this leading app because it doesn’t need an antenna. The sound quality is also phenomenal compared to my other devices. Last but not least, the App Store and Google Play app for this tool doesn’t have any performance issues. The developers have really done a great job at updating it with performance improvements.
