This app does that and so much more! I would like a way to add a shortcut on my phone right to my favorite station, but this app is great! ### 5/5 — The Best *2015-09-03, version 6.1* Just a beautifully designed, faultlessly reliable app. I've been trying a bunch of apps for listening to online radio streams, including the expensive options like iTunes. This one is just the best, easiest to use, most comprehensive, most stable, easiest to read one of them all. Like all of these apps, you have to know or guess where in the catalog to look for particular stations , but they have the best catalog and they make it super easy and reliable to find your favorites once you've got one you like. I am also grateful that they keep older versions available here so both my old iPod touch and my iPhone 6 can run it. ### 5/5 — Best streaming radio app! *2014-09-24, version 7.4.2* I listen to streaming radio in my car. Having to click on "skip this ad"while driving just doesn't work for me. I've tried them all - Radio is the one app that keeps playing, without ads in the way. It doesn't say "bufferring" and never come back; it doesn't skip backward 10 minutes when it loses a stream. It does lose a stream occassionally, but it comes back quickly and in the same place. You can actually listen to it! I recently had a problem with a version upgrade on my iPhone 5S, and the developer stayed with it, and stayed in touch, until he reproduced the bug and fixed it. Thanks, Marco! Great app! ### 1/5 — Don't spend your money *2014-09-23, version 7.4.2* I tried several shoutcast stations and it kept buffering so you only hear a few seconds at a time. I was on wi-fi so there was no reason for the delay. ### 5/5 — Great with iPhone 5 and iOS 6.0.1 *2012-11-18, version 6.1* Just downloaded on m new iPhone 5 and it worked perfectly. Great selection of stations,including my favorite sorts and talk. And it includes Howard! Well worth the 99c. I am not having an issues with iOS 6. Maybe guys need to re-dowwnload? I have had to do that with several other apps. ### 5/5 — Awesome with 45,000 radio stations! *2012-08-22, version 6.1* This app rocks! Works great with iOS remote controls. For just 99c I get SHOUTcast, the iTunes radio library stations, hundreds of public radio stations, all hazard weather reports and a gazillion of foreign radio stations. And Howard Stearn of course, which is icing ion the cake. I could not find any other radio app that features Howard. Great for me. ### 5/5 — Good reception, nice layout *2012-05-14, version 6.1* I have several internet radio apps, and I consider this one in the top 2 that I own. I certainly have paid more for a lot less. The price is more than reasonable for the content and quality of the app. 40,000+ stations is a huge database. I have only scratched the surface so far. And the ability to listen to Howard is worth 10 time this price. ## Frequently asked questions about Radio ### What does this radio app do?
