    First year I downloaded the Ap. Its just brilliant, and reception is great. Usually cant get it at home unless on Laptop, and you could.nt
    be carrying that around..... I had been using Spotify since Mid October, so just thrilled to have this with me in my pocket. And such a
    great cause.....

    You dont need ear buds to get reception, that is what really delighted me. It just would.nt be practical for me to use earbuds and have
    phone in pocket. I was just thrilled when I downloaded it and then opened it, and hey presto.....from the magic airwaves Queen was
    belting out Thank God its Christmas.....

    Turned on my kitchen radio yesterday at 1pm planning to tune in Christmas FM. But the minute I turned the radio on, I heard Christmas music. Turns out I have not used the radio in my kitchen since last Christmas and Christmas FM was tuned in.

    Thanks for the tip about the App - I find it hard to get it tuned in properly on the radio so I'm now in heaven listening in....

    I'm listening to Christmas fm via the app on my Samsung J3 phone as it's not available on fm in my area but every ten minutes or so the app keeps cutting out. I don't know if this is due to Wi Fi black spots or maybe a technical glich on the app. Has anybody else experienced any issues regarding the app?

    App is a bit buggy for me but I’m using an app called TuneIn and it’s coming through loud and clear on that.

    The app is a bit rubbish tbh. There's an internet blackspot outside my office and once it hits that I have to close the app and open it again. Other apps will just come back on once I'm through the blackspot. I'll definitely use TuneIn from now on. Thanks Loughc!

    Please remember they will continue live online and on the app until New Year’s Eve.

    They’re hoping to raise €15k more between now and then. But yes it’s very sad it’s coming off the fm :(

    Was at the Wild Lights in the zoo this evening. Got back into the car and turned on the radio to be greeted by ... silence :(

    Oh well, as Sharon Shannon sang a good few too many times this year: "We'll be doing it all over again, all over again" next year

    Is that the highest they've raised yet?
    Even so, a fantastic achievement.

    Brilliant. Don't mind admitting it was a charity close to my heart so delighted to see them break the 400k mark.
