## What is Radio Adfree?

Radio Adfree is your radio companion with over 40,000 stations from all over the world. Radio Adfree shows no ads in the app – not even in the free version. Ads that radio stations and podcasts include in their own programming remain unchanged. Whether rock, pop, jazz, classical, electronic, blues, grunge, you name it: Find your perfect station in seconds - no waiting, no banner ads or annoying videos in the app, no ad tracking.


Song titles as you listen: many stations send the current title along with their stream, and the app shows it automatically. For unknown songs, just tap to identify them with ShazamKit (Premium) – right in the player, without switching apps. Discover new music effortlessly and find recognized tracks instantly on Spotify, Apple Music or YouTube.

RADIO STREAMING Stream over 40,000 stations from around the world, supported by the community database radio-browser.info. Search by genre, country or language — or use voice search and the interactive map to discover stations near you or on the other side of the world. Background playback with full lock screen controls keeps the music playing wherever you go.

PODCASTS Discover trending podcasts from Apple's top charts or search millions of shows on iTunes. Subscribe to your favorites, track your progress across episodes, and pick up right where you left off with Auto-Resume. Adjust playback speed, fast forward or rewind, and earn completion badges for finished episodes. 17 genre categories from art to true crime ensure you'll always find something worth listening to.

SONG RECOGNITION (Premium) The highlight feature: song recognition with ShazamKit. One tap is all it takes to identify the song that is playing. Recognized tracks link directly to Spotify. Don't like a song or artist? Blacklist them with a "thumbs down" – the app automatically switches stations as soon as a blocked song is detected.

STREAM RECORDING (Premium) Record broadcasts as MP3 for private use, directly in the app. New: Schedule recordings once, daily, weekly or monthly – the server records them for you, even when the app isn't running.

CASTING & AIRPLAY (Premium) Stream your radio to the big screen with Chromecast or wirelessly to Apple devices via AirPlay. New: Connect the app to your Sonos account and stream directly to your Sonos boxes and groups!

LIVE BOARD (Premium) What’s currently playing on your channels? Quick overview of the now playing information of your favorite stations - without playing each one individually. Play directly with tap.

RADIO IN THE CAR (Premium) Control your radio in the car directly via your multimedia system and Apple CarPlay.

PERSONALIZATION Choose between light, dark or automatic theme. Switch to the DAB+ vintage radio interface for a retro experience. Enjoy the audio spectrum visualizer (Premium) while listening. Save up to 10 favorites for free or unlimited with Premium, browse your listening history (unlimited with Premium) and set the sleep timer so that the music fades away gently.

CLOUD & SYNC Sign in with Apple, Google or email to sync settings, favorite stations, discovered songs and listening history across all your devices. New: last.fm scrobbling – the songs you listen to are added to your last.fm profile automatically.

SIMILAR STATIONS (Premium) Check out stations that also play the current song or band or similar music genres.

AUDIO Player Play any audio file (e.g. MP3) from your device in our Radio Adfree player.

MUSIC CHARTS Look at the current charts in various genres and see which stations these or similar songs are playing on.

Available in German, English, Spanish, Italian, French, Turkish, Polish, Romanian, Portuguese, Dutch and Indonesian. No in-app advertising. No ad tracking, no analytics SDKs. Simply radio, as it should be.

### 2/5 — Gratis Version mit wenig Funktion

*2026-09-06*

Leider sind in der Gratis Version weder CarPlay/ Android Car, noch das Streaming auf einen Lautsprecher / chromecast etc möglich. Also faktisch nur Musik am Handy. 60€ für einen Einmalkauf sind erheblich zu teuer. Ebenso das Abo. Schade. Dann eben doch wieder zur Konkurrenz mit ein bisschen Werbung.

**Developer response:** Danke für dein ehrliches Feedback. Die kostenlose Version umfasst neben dem Radiohören auch Favoriten, Geräte-Synchronisierung, Song-Erkennung mit Verlinkung zu Apple Music und YouTube, Podcasts und einiges mehr. CarPlay, Android Auto und die Wiedergabe auf externen Geräten gehören zur Premium-Version. Die App wird unabhängig und ohne Werbung finanziert. Dafür bieten wir neben dem Abo auch einen Einmalkauf an. Ich verstehe, dass dieses Modell nicht für jeden passt.

### 5/5 — verdiente 5 Sterne

*2026-09-06*

Super App, die ständig überarbeitet wird. Tolle Funktionen, wahnsinnig viele Sender. Und das ohne nervige Werbung aus der App. 
Mein Dank an den/die Entwickler. Weiter so! Tolle Arbeit!

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für die lobenden Worte!

### 1/5 — Р

*2026-08-27*

Радио не воспроизводится самостоятельно после восстановления интернет соединения

**Developer response:** Да, приложение всегда пытается перезапустить передатчик после прерывания интернет-соединения. Пожалуйста, сообщите точную информацию о версии приложения и станции в разделе info@radio-adfree.de.

### 5/5 — Super komfortabel und individuell einstellbar

### 5/5 — Neuer Favorit

*2026-05-24*

Die App ist vor allen Dingen sehr toll,da man keine Werbung hat und sehr viele verschiedene Sender rund um die Welt hören kann. Die Funktion das man Lieder die man schon zu oft gehört hat,,disliken’’ kann auch st auch sehr hilfreich. Mein neuer Favorit in Sachen Radio.

### 5/5 — Mehr Musik, weniger Werbung

*2026-04-27*

Was für ein Komfort Gewinn, wenn nicht beim Starten eines Senders jedes Mal eine und meist dieselbe Werbung kommt, wie es bei vielen anderen Radio Apps der Fall ist. Die CarPlay Integration ist super.
