Big hair, bigger hits. Maxi 80 streams the greatest songs of the eighties, live and non-stop, straight from France's favorite 80s radio.

Press play and the hits keep coming, over Wi-Fi or cellular. A history you can flip through. Missed what just played? Swipe back through a gorgeous Cover Flow carousel of the last songs and their album covers. Album art in glorious high resolution. Every cover, crisp and full-size. Always know what's on. Artist and song title, right there, always up to date. Your 80s road trip soundtrack. Full CarPlay support, so the hits ride shotgun. Beam it around. AirPlay to your speakers or Apple TV in a tap. On the big screen. A native Apple TV app brings the hits and full-size cover art to your living room. Share the moment. Love the track that's playing? Send it to a friend instantly.
