LISTEN LIVE Tap Play and you're on the air in a second, always live, never minutes behind. KNON keeps playing in the background and with the screen off, with controls on your lock screen and headphones. A dropped connection picks back up on its own, and a phone call just pauses it.

Coming up shows what's next, with each show's DJ. WHAT'S PLAYING The song on the air and its cover, and the show's playlist so far, as the DJs log them. Tap a song to find it in Apple Music, or hear the whole show again on Spinitron for two weeks. THE WHOLE WEEK Every show and DJ for the next seven days, starting with what's on now. Search by show, DJ, or kind of music: blues, Tejano, gospel, metal, and everything in between. Tap a show to open its page on knon.org.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Texas Frightmare Weekend at 86% against KNON's 38%. KNON's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 11 months). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
