If you have a stream URL, StreamRight will play it. No sign-ups. No subscriptions. No ads. Open the app, paste a link, and listen. HOW IT WORKS Add a stream in seconds. Tap "+", name your station, paste the stream URL, and it appears as a one-tap shortcut on your home screen. Tap to play, instantly. StreamRight connects, buffers just enough audio for smooth playback, and starts. A pre-buffer progress bar shows exactly when sound will begin — no mystery spinners. A stunning Now Playing experience. The full-screen player shows what's playing in real time. When a station broadcasts song metadata, StreamRight shows the song title with the artist beneath it, and fetches album artwork automatically. A lively now-playing screen. An animated visual pulses while audio is playing, giving the player a sense of motion and a clear at-a-glance sign that your stream is live. Listen everywhere. Full lock screen and Control Center controls. Works with AirPlay, Bluetooth headphones, and standard audio accessories. Keeps playing in the background while you use other apps. KEY FEATURES - Universal stream support: MP3, AAC, HLS (.m3u8), FLAC, and Ogg/Opus - One-tap playback from saved station shortcuts - Live song metadata (ICY for Icecast/SHOUTcast, ID3 in HLS segments) - Automatic high-resolution album artwork - Animated now-playing visual that shows at a glance when audio is playing - HLS quality selection, or automatic best-quality - Live bitrate display (e.g. "128 kbps", "HLS 52–211 kbps") - Smart reconnection with intelligent backoff, plus instant retry when your network returns - Configurable pre-buffer (2–15 seconds) to balance fast starts vs. smooth playback - Lock screen & Control Center controls (play, pause, stop, now-playing) - Background playback - Light and dark modes; the player takes its colour from the album art - Playful status messages instead of generic "Connecting…" - Song title and artist shown on their own lines, easy to read - Built-in diagnostics log for troubleshooting streams - Mini player bar on the home screen - Portrait and landscape support - No account required — everything stays on your device WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT Most radio apps lock you into their own directory, push ads, or require an account. StreamRight plays your streams, whatever they are, with no strings attached. Under the hood it's built for resilience. Live streams are fragile — connections drop, servers hiccup, networks change. StreamRight monitors the connection and reconnects automatically with exponential backoff, detects Wi-Fi/cellular switches and retries immediately, resumes after system interruptions, and uses a watchdog timer to revive streams that silently stall. You press play, and the music keeps going. Made by DazzleAppz.
