Ratings and Reviews
Casting is difficult
What happened to the “cast symbol in the app? It’s very difficult to get this app to connect to a Bluetooth speaker now. Using iPhone’s setting isn’t always effective. Most radio apps have a readily apparent cast symbol to send to Bluetoth. Otherwise, always appreciate the programming on Calm.
Privacy issue: King FM reads your clipboard
Beginning with iOS 14, I get an iOS popup ("King FM pasted from <app>") whenever King FM version 3.2.1 moves to the foreground, telling me that King FM is reading my clipboard. This is even though I have not tried to paste anything into it. Since King FM hasn't been updated in about 2 years, it has been doing this to all of us for at least that long, and silently before iOS 14 started telling us. I'm sure that we all copy and paste information that is no business of King FM's developer, yet this developer has been silently slurping it all up until recently, for undocumented purposes. Because of this, I am deleting this app until 1) the developer Jacobs Media (jacapps) comes clean on this practice, tells us precisely why and for what purpose it has been doing this, and posts an update that fixes this privacy problem; or 2) Apple releases an updated iOS that gives us the ability to block this type of behavior. These actions may not be enough, given that Jacobs Media has already abused its trust. Do you copy passwords or other sensitive text to your clipboard? Do you copy photos with sensitive GPS location information in them? If so, then you should worry about this too.
Developer Response ,
We are so sorry you experienced this in 2020. We released a new version this year with many fixes and updates and we hope you will be able to try it and let us know what you think. We do not copy information from your device with our app or read your clipboard.
New version only works on iPad bought in the last 21 months
The new update requires an iPad that has been purchased after October 2022. News flash, I don’t buy a new iPad every 2 years so the ipad I bought 3 years ago, no longer works with your app.
And yes, I did see an option to select if my ipad was older which I selected and the app still doesn’t work.
Thankfully, there are other apps that are as good as yours, and better, and won’t require me to be so incredibly wasteful as to have to buy a new device every few years.
