2.99/month.
Hey anon, If you get it for free you aren't a customer. You're a freeloader. Try you logic at your grocery store.
complainers....
anonymous, does Verizon or AT&T give you ringtones with your subscription? Nope, it's $3.99 a month, and your phone bill is a heck of a lot higher than what your currently paying or will ever pay for Sat Rad!
2.99/month Premium??
I waited for this app for a long time. I downlaoded and deleted the app as soon as I found out that they are charging 2.99/ month. They should have given it for free to keep the customer loyality.
