Nice design, but local support doesn’t work

This app has many cool customizable designs and radio types, however I find that the local broadcast mode is completely useless because despite it showing my correct zip/location, none of the radio stations it picks up are actually the ones in my area. This is a real shame because it’s the one thing that would make it feel more like a true radio. I would also appreciate if there was NOAA weather band (WB/WX) support.

Thank you for the feed back, I will look into this and see what could be causing the issue, please look out for an update, I will surely look into NOAA part too , thank you again

Has potential but where’s local stations?

I personally think RadioApp is wayyy better! It gives you that nostalgic feel of “static” when tuning, and has almost all my local market stations. If I ever want to I can sort by country, state, and city as well. This app is just useless unless you’re in one of the few cities it has.

Response from developer

Thanks for the response , please check the latest version which allows you to select location based on GPS , zip , postal code by country, hope that helps!

Vintage radio

I like to play the radio when I go to bed. I have this app on my phone’s sleep screen. It lets me stream radio stations without distractions. Just like using a 1960s transistor radio.

The developer is responsive to the community and already adding more stations and features, but keeping the interface simple.

I highly recommend.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for this wonderful review. Reading that RadioStar has become part of your bedtime routine really means a lot to me. The goal was to recreate the simple experience of listening to a real transistor radio without the distractions of modern apps, so I’m glad that came through. Thank you as well for noticing the updates. I’m always listening to feedback and will keep improving RadioStar while staying true to its simple, vintage spirit. I really appreciate your support! ❤️

Fun app

Slowly tune the dial wait for a station to pop in! Reminds me of my short wave radio hobby.
