Live stations from cities worldwide, on one phone
Pick a country, pick a genre, press play. Radio that starts in seconds, keeps going in your pocket, and switches itself off at night.
No stream URLs to paste, no account wall before the first song. Open the app and the last station you had on is one tap away.
Move from a talk station two time zones away to a late-night jazz stream without typing a word. The directory is sorted the way people actually look for radio.
Save the station from home, the one you found on holiday and the one you work to. They sit in one list at the top of the app.
Lock the screen, answer a message, follow the map. Playback stays alive with controls on the lock screen.
Choose how long you want it on, put the phone down, and it stops on its own instead of streaming all night.
The screens you'll spend your time on.

I keep one station from home and three from places I've lived. It opens straight into whatever I had on last, which is the only thing I wanted.
Background playback is why I switched. It carries on while I'm in maps and the lock screen controls work properly.
Sleep timer every night. The phone isn't streaming at four in the morning any more.
