A CHAT FOR EVERY STATION
Every station has its own live room with the people listening to the same thing as you, right now. Switch stations, switch rooms: the chat follows what you're playing. Private messages, friends, Wizz, and WAVE Together to share a station in real time. Built-in filters, blocking and reporting.

Identify the song that's playing with Shazam, open it in Apple Music or your favorite service, read synced lyrics and discover the artist's profile.

TUNEMAP
Explore a web of artists: tap a name to see who sounds like them, hear 30-second previews and find stations in the same style. Search a record label too, to browse its artists and releases.

PODCASTS
Search, charts by country and by genre (History, News, Comedy…), favorites, downloads for offline listening, playback speed and silence skipping. Add any podcast by its RSS address or import an OPML file.

MAKE IT YOURS
12 full themes with animated scenery, the accent color of your choice and 17 visualizers that dance to the music. An app that looks like you.

RADIO PASSPORT
Collect the countries you've listened to, catch Today's Signal and keep your listening streak going.

WHEREVER YOU GO
CarPlay, Apple Watch, widgets, Lock Screen, Siri and Shortcuts, Chromecast and AirPlay.
