Clear Channel has launched iHeart Radio for BlackBerry following their success with iPhone. WIth iHeart Radio, you can stream 150 of Clear Channel’s radio stations – all over cellular data networks or WiFi networks. The BlackBerry iHeartRadio application allows users to bookmark their favorite stations, tag songs and randomize radio streams. All music is broadcast in “high quality AAC.” The iHeartRadio BlackBerry application is currently only available on the BlackBerry Bold, BlackBerry Curve and BlackBerry Pearl. The BlackBerry Storm is listed as “Coming Soon.”

It doesn’t support Curve 8320! Misleading…
Which curves do work:
8900
8350i
8330
8310
8300
I cannot get my 8330 to work. I think it is only the 8900.
Is it just me or is the download page actually incompatible/unreadable on the Blackberry Bold browser? Kinda ironic I think.
I tried this on my 8130 on Virgin Mobile Canada.
It works.. but its REALLY choppy, and stops and starts.
Ok, one question, why would u say it works for curve if it doesnt work for a couple of models? Hmmmm…….is there a version coming out to work on the 8320??
Boy do I love to waste my time.
The link isn’t to the download page. When I finally found the right page, I tried for an hour, with EVDO full coverage, and my 8330 would not complete the download.
thought that I must have wiped the download function using max mem so spent 3hrs reloading os and apps… thought ththought
Working very well on my AT&T Bold…
I personally like moodio.fm there is no download and you can listen to a lot more than broadcast r
adio.
downloaded it on my 8330 worked ONCE. after several attempts at opening the app again it would buffer, then just exit out on its own. i tried uninstalling/deleting and re-downloading but to no avail. works well on my husbands 8330.. wtf?
I read that this app is still in beta phase so there probably have to be a few kinks to work out. It’s working on my Pearl fine.
Question, anyone know of a good radio station for us Canadians?
yessss!! it now works on my Storm. wooohoooooooooooo. if you have a Storm i’d try it today. seems to be working on this device now.
It is working great on my BOLD!!! This is is hot, they got some good shows in Florida, and San Diego. You should DEF check it out. http://www.iheartradio.com/blackberry
all it does on my blackberry is fetching stations and nothing else happens
I just downloaded the app to my blackberry 8330 and it goes to open up and then shuts down and throws me back to my main menu. I removed the application then downloaded again but it still doesnt work?? Im pretty sure I am not doing anything wrong. Is there something else I can do to make it work???
I tried this on 4/1 with my BB Curve 8330 (US Cellular) and it noted that it was incompatible. I tried in again yesterday and it downloaded seamlessly; it plays beautifully! I’m a fan
Anyone had any luck on a Pearl 8130 using Verizon? I was able to download and install the program and it runs (provides a nice list of stations). However, every attempt to play says “Buffering” followed by “unable to connect to stream.”
Works great on my 8330, but while iheartradio is running it ignores my headphones (earbuds that came with the Blackberry) It kinda takes me back to ‘66 and my GE transistor radio except that little earphone actually worked. Unless it can be used privately with headphones it is pretty useless.
Try Flycast Radio or Slacker Radio. Both are free, do not require synchronization with a computer, AND WORK GREAT ON THE STORM 9530!
Oh how I love to install/and unitstall apps that should be free anyway…love the blackberry!hate the Bull?@-)I am headin to att.for an Iphone enough is enough
I installed to my bb, and the app installed just fine (so I thought) when I tried to access the application it acts as if its starting up, and once in says fetching stations it brings me back to my bb home screen. I unistalled reinstalled quite a few times, same problem : ( maybe it just doesn’t like sprint the app seems to work quite well on all of my friends t mobile devices (sigh)
Hey I went to thisink on my storm but what do I do next?
I’m having same problems as most people here. Using 8900 Curve with .206 OS. Just plays for a couple secs and stops and continues to buffer a long time and then repeats the process.
I have installed and uninstalled iheartradio countless times and can not get the cussed thing to work on my storm. When I access the app it appears to work, but then stops and returns back to the app page. What do I need to do to get this thing to work?
FOR ALL OF YOU ALL WHO CAN’T GET THIS TO WORK FOR YOUR BLACKBERRY GO INTO YOUR APPLICATIONS AND EDIT PERMISSIONS TO ALLOW, IT SHOULD WORK, ME AND MY SISTER INSTALLED OURS BOTH, MINE WORKED FINE AND THEN COULDN’T GET HERS TO WORK, I MESSED AROUND WITH HERS FOR A MINUTE WITH INSTALLING AND UNINSTALLED CHECKED HER PERMISSIONS AND SET IT TO ALLOW AND WHALAA IT WORKED!!! GOOD LUCK!
I HEART the iHeartRadio application for my Blackberry and of course I’m a fan of it on Facebook. A couple of days ago on the Facebook fan page I found an iHeartRadio widget that let’s you stream your favorite radio station or side channel right from your profile. I immediately grabbed it and put it on my page. It’s soooo cool! You can get it here….http://apps.facebook.com/iheartradiostream/ Spread the word! Happy Listening!
What the hell..it don’t work for the 8320..how dose it work for the 8310 and the 8330??so yall just jump over the 8320… That sucks. Most have the 8320.
the app keeps freezes my 8330 when i go to the stations tab, i turn it off and back on, annd it works fine until i want to navigate back to that page
Works for a few seconds then stops. restart same results each time.
Have a 8330. Installed fine, but only works for 1 minute to 5 minutes and then stops. Restart and the same thing happens again. I do think it might have something to do with another app doing something at the same time (i.e. incoming email)… Not sure.
OMFGGG ! THiS iS GETTiN ANNOYiNG CAN SOMEONE SEND THE LiNK…BEEN TRYiN TO DOWN LOAD FRM THE 8350i FOR A WEEK PLLZZ HELP
I can’t download app to blackberry tour..it says it’s done but i can’t find it
Downloaded app on Blackberry Storm and when I click All Cities Iget a “find” box instead of a list of cities. Same as formats – this is blank too. I’m pretty sure I’ve allow permission to the application. ANy other suggestions?
Does it work on the tour? I keep trying to download and it doesn’t do anything!
Do you want to give the green light to a system of government which ignores its own rules and discourages direct democracy? ,
I have an 8900 and certain stations I keep getting the same message “cannot connect to stream” I have set all permissions to allow?? There is no answer on the truble shooting page, and I cannot find any help in the app on my phone. Any assistance would be appreciated.
