    Last year I had to go out to get lunch when it launched and the app wouldn’t work. This year I’m taking no chances. I have my salad at the ready and I’ll listen on my laptop instead.

    105.0 in Kerry currently off air, so those of us in the south west missed the launch. The weather being a grinch this year.

    I'm drinking a mug of tea and listening to Christmas FM. I promised myself when I finished this tea I'd turn it off and get back to studying...

    I'm taking the teeniest tiniest sips!

    Just downloaded the App, very excited! Then tuned in to hear bloody Mariah! (Only Christmas song I HATE). On the upside, once it's over I won't have to listen to it again for another few hours :D

    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?
