About

Escutando

Features
Read full description

Thirty thousand radio stations. One app. And an AI that actually understands what you want to hear. Escutando connects you to over 30,000 live radio stations from every corner of the world โ€” organized by country, filtered by genre, and searchable in plain English. Type "something mellow for a Sunday morning" or "high-energy Latin beats" and the AI finds the right station. No menus to dig through. No guessing. Every station comes with an AI-generated cultural briefing: the city it broadcasts from, the community it serves, the music that defines it. It turns a random frequency into a window onto somewhere real. Escutando classifies every stream by audio quality โ€” HD, Standard, or Low โ€” so you always know exactly what you're hearing. Audiophile Mode filters the catalog to only the highest-quality streams. Live ICY metadata surfaces the current song and artist in real time, updating as tracks change, right on your lock screen. The Now Playing screen is built for long sessions: lock screen controls, AirPlay support for speakers and receivers, and a sleep timer with a gentle fade-out. Whether you're working, cooking, or winding down, Escutando stays out of the way. At the end of each month, a personalized listening report reflects back what you explored โ€” hours logged, countries visited, genres favored โ€” with a short AI-written insight that makes the numbers feel like something worth reading. Escutando is completely free. No trial period. No premium tier. No ads anywhere in the app. No subscription, now or ever. It's made possible by a single sponsor โ€” PCA Airworthiness โ€” whose support keeps the experience clean and the catalog open for everyone. The world is on the air. Tune in.
