RadioApp - A Simple Radio App

Question ois

Very clean interface that lets you access streaming ratio stations - if that station has a streaming radio URL. It is unable to “tune” to some stations in my area that I know have URL links for audio streaming, but there is a submission link which I presume is to let the developers know so they can add it. Some stations did come up in search but were not available to listen to. This may be a fault of HOW that station’s streaming URL works? The radio station’s stream of course has ads. The free app doesn’t seem to insert additional audio ads before playing the stream and there are no annoying video or pop up ads on the interface. Favorites is limited to 10 favorites in the free app. AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT: (1) Given the worldwide scope where different stations use the same frequency in a different city, it would be helpful if the interface displayed the city/region of the current station being listened to and not just the station name and frequency. Station names cannot be edited and naming convention is inconsistent. E.g. often they don’t include the station call letters or name. (2) The app identifies my location as simply California not my city or local area. So when using the tuner, I get stations all over CA which is annoying. It would be nice if there was the option to limit the tuner to just my local area like a real radio would do. (3) the interface is buggy. Several times while searching for a station to build my favorites and switching apps to reference a search result, I would come back to the app and it would be stuck and unresponsive.

Radio station is very live…feels like I’m back home

It’s a blessing having this radio

Es una app bastante buena que por el momento no cuenta con muchos anuncios. Realmente ofrece una gran variedad de estaciones y es fácil de entender.

Hi ! Thx for keeping me sane at work👍🏼

Been using this app a few years now. I recommend it to people often! Thank you for following good UX principles! I think I’d only ask for a bit more consistency throughout (favorites list, etc). It’s such a clean app otherwise!

as of Aug 2025 there are 2 problems: at times a radio station becomes suddenly unavailable without even trying to buffer (in case of slow internet traffic). The other problem is the constant slamming with multiple commercials that interrupt the broadcast at random times. You listen to the news and then in the middle of the sentence they slam you with the commercial… Awful experience.

Loving this app generally. I especially like the fact that it identifies the song that’s playing and gives you a quick shortcut to save it to your Apple Music library. The emphasis on local stations is also really good. However: the more I use this in my car, the more limiting and distracting I find the CarPlay interface. It requires several taps to pick a specific station, and for some reason you cannot skip backward to a previous station, only forward. The whole thing needs to be redone and simplified so the user can pick a specific station without tapping through multiple screens while driving.
