iHeartRadio more like iHeartLies

[ChocoMingo]

Looks like iHeartRadio has been lying to us this time around. Now they require an account to listen to their stations, but this is only on the app. You still don't need an account on the iHeart website. This only counts on the app, I found this out, because there is no maybe later option or no thanks option anymore on the app. iHeart has said that you don't need an account to use the iHeartRadio app, but nope! They are lying. You do need an account on the app, but thankfully not on website. Is this a bug or something? iHeart secretly requires account as there is no mention of you needing to register to even use the app. iHeart, let people listen without having to register! I don't know if it's for both phones as I only have an Android.

Maybe it was a bug, I guess?

My experience is if only one person is complaining, it's probably something unique with that one person, not the entire service.

In the login screen, it asks to either log in or create an account, and no maybe later option, where I would skip logging in so the Note 4 version (I guess) requires a login, unlike other versions on other phones, here is a snapshot from my smartphone, see that there is no maybe later option or something like that.

No, not that. I wanted or I meant the real iHeartRadio that everybody knows and loves. So it's not a different version, I was talking about the original iHeart app.

There should be a help button somewhere. Otherwise, try deleting the app and reloading it.

Nope, I used what you said and it didn't work, there is no help button, and when i uninstalled it and reinstalled it, same result, iHeart really does require an account nowadays, as I used it before with no need to register or log in. It still forces me to log in.

If you don't see a help link, there's something wrong. They don't require an account unless you want their deluxe version. Maybe your phone only allows that version.

I only see it as a deluxe version disguised as the regular one.
