## What is Skywave?

Skywave is live radio, made simple: 4,000 official stations from 20 countries, sorted by genre, one tap away. On your iPhone, in your car with CarPlay, and in your Mac's menu bar.

EVERY STATION, ONE TAP AWAY
• Rap, hip-hop, R&B, pop, rock, electro, jazz, classical, reggae, afro, latin, news, talk and more
• Pick a country: its local stations come first, then the whole world
• Official streams from the broadcasters themselves, checked every week
• Search any station by name, genre or country

MADE FOR CARPLAY
• Big, simple lists designed for the road: Recents, Favorites, Browse
• Your last station starts as soon as you plug in, unless you paused it
• Steering wheel and Siri controls, song and cover on the Now Playing screen

KEEPS PLAYING
• Reconnects on its own when the signal drops in a tunnel or a dead zone
• HD streams play with a 30-second buffer to bridge short drops
• Steps aside when a call, Siri or your car's own radio takes over

THE SONG ON AIR
• See the song that's playing, with its cover, on the lock screen, in Control Center and in the car

YOUR STATIONS
• Favorites with a heart, your 10 latest stations always close
• Opens on your last station

ON MAC
• A native menu bar app: one click on the wave, no window in the way
• A discreet banner with the cover when the song changes
• Sleep timer, AirPlay and the play/pause key on your keyboard

No account, no ads, no tracking. Your favorites stay on your devices.
