## What is Air Drift?

Air Drift is live radio from anywhere on Earth: more than 58,000 stations in 241 countries, one tap away.

DRIFT
Press Drift and land on a random live station somewhere in the world, or drift by mood: jazz, chillout, classical, news, 80s, electronic, reggae, soul, folk or ambient. Every landing shows you where you are, what the station plays and what's on right now.

BROWSE
Popular stations, updated through the day. Around 160 genres grouped into families. Every country in the directory. Search by station, genre or country.

YOURS
Star the stations you love and find them again under Saved. What you played lately is on the first screen. Favourites, history and settings stay on your phone, with no account.

LISTEN PROPERLY
Plays in the background and on the lock screen, with the station's logo and the song that's on. Headphone and Control Center controls. A stereo panel with live meters on stations that allow it. Share any station with a link.

EVERY STATION
Many stations still stream over plain http, which a web page can't play. The app plays them all.

Air Drift adds no adverts of its own. Stations are live broadcasts from their owners; some carry their own adverts. The station list comes from Radio Browser, a volunteer-run public directory, refreshed every day.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1 — 2026-10-04

Air Drift on Apple Watch: drift, pick from your saved and recent stations, see what's on with its cover, skip, save, and turn the crown for volume. The watch drives your iPhone, so the radio plays where it always has.

In the car: song covers now change with each song even with your phone locked, and the car's own play button no longer restarts a station that is already playing.

### 1.0 — 2026-10-02

No release notes.
