All the radio in one app: 10,000+ live FM, AM and internet radio stations from 130+ countries. Open, tap, listen — no clutter, no fuss. Radio FM has been on air since 2013. Millions of listeners, a small team that reads every message, and a player that simply works — on the bus, in the car, in the kitchen and on a weak connection. WHY LISTENERS STAY • 10,000+ radio stations: music, news, talk and sports — from local FM to the biggest world broadcasters • Starts in a second and keeps playing in the background, on the lock screen and with headset buttons • Adaptive streaming: the player adjusts to your connection speed, so the station stays alive on slow mobile internet • CarPlay and Apple Watch: pick a station from the car screen or right from your wrist • Light and dark theme, and a design that picks up colors from the album art FIND YOUR STATION • Browse by country and region, or search by name • Genres: pop, rock, jazz, classical, electronic, hip-hop, chillout, retro, 80s, 90s, dance, lounge and more • Popular, New and Recommended — based on what you already listen to • Save favorites to "My stations" and switch between them in one tap ANY STATION FROM ANY WEBSITE Can't find a station in the catalog? Paste a link to its website — the built-in scanner finds the audio stream and adds the station to the app. Any site, any country, no limits. RADIO PLUS — MORE THAN A PLAYER • Alarm clock: wake up to your favorite station instead of a ringtone • Sleep timer: fall asleep to the radio, the app switches itself off • Equalizer: auto mode plus 20+ presets, from Bass Booster to Spoken Word • Track history and liked songs: see what was playing and find the song on Apple Music, Spotify or YouTube Music • Album art, track info and a look that adapts to every song • Relaxing video backgrounds and sound effects for focus and sleep • No banners in the app MADE BY REAL PEOPLE We have been building this radio app for over 12 years.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Radio FM at none against Радио онлайн's shown. Radio FM also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (182 vs 8). Радио онлайн's advantage is review sentiment (89% vs 55%) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.6). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Radio FM sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Радио онлайн sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
