Quick to open and select station. Plays live radio just fine. Most of the stations seem to be there. Just what you need to give the iPhone an FM Radio like many cheap mobiles have. PLUS this gives you get DAB Radio Stations too. ### One app plays them all. Only drawback is you don't appear to be able to rewind to listen to a bit you missed again. Unlike streaming services as in BBC Sounds. But this app is one I leave installed to get FM & DAB stations like BBC World Service and Times Radio on my phone. ### Just found another bonus - it has a simple sleep timer. Try it you will find it useful. ### 5/5 — Nice *2025-07-08, version 1.5* Nice ### 5/5 — Awesome free radio *2025-07-06, version 1.5* Fab free radio ### 5/5 — Perfect *2025-04-17, version 1.5* Flawless!!

It’s actually become unusable…works well till the screen goes off on any watch… ### 2/5 — Cannot turn off location 👎🏻 *2022-11-25, version 1.5* The app does not appear under phone settings and is therefore impossible to turn off location, accurate or not. Ads are annoying. ### 2/5 — Issue *2022-10-20, version 1.5* Not connected to all station! ### 2/5 — Works, but poor UI *2022-07-31, version 1.5* Needs some UI tweaks to make it more usable. It should start with the Favourites screen (or at least have that as an option). Most people are going to have a set of favourites and want to start with that rather than a list of every single station. Secondly, when I select a station, it should start playing without me having to press a "Play" button. Why would I have selected it if I didn't want to play it? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Five Stars *2026-08-07, version 1.5* Absolutely Love this Radio Station it inspires gives healthy information energy vibes globally as all Indians love their music and culture influences information ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-07-30, version 1.5* Nice to see an app that’s free to use, with no in app purchases and works great.
