Simple Radio by Streema 1.3.9

Listen to your favorite radio station by using this simple app
People often tune in to their favorite radio station when they get tired with the music they usually listen to or need to relax while listening to the news. However, there are many radio apps available on Google Play Store and it's quite difficult to pick the one that suits you the most.

Still, there are some alternatives, Simple Radio by Streema is one of them. It features over 25,000 stations divided by genre, city or country. Considering the how much content it offers, the app is definitely worth a try.

Simplistic interface with some features at hand

The app launches directly with the section in which it urges users to favorite stations that they like the most, so that they could later access them easily from the favorite section.

You can search for stations by name, dial, call sign, city, country or genre. It doesn't come with any instructions or a tutorial to show new users how to access all features that the app has to offer. The search bar is conveniently located at the top of the screen, as to make it easier to access it.

Listen to all of your favorite stations

Simply search for your favorite station and then tap on play to listen. You can check out stations from all over the world, divided by genre and name. However, some stations don't really work and you'll have to search for others to listen to.

The app only comes with a pause icon, but it's also available in the notification bar and lock screen. It doesn't come with the option of rewinding the stream with 15 seconds, but it does display the name of the playing song. But the app does have some issues even with this feature. The app comes with Chromecast support.

Some shortcomings

You can't skip to the next radio station and the app doesn't let you search for stations based on the song playing. It does however provide you with some basic information on the station, like the city where it's based and the country. It's also missing an equalizer but the sound quality is quite okay.

In addition, the app is missing one key part of any Android application, a settings menu. It doesn't have any settings whatsoever, not even a section about the developer and the current version. Still, it comes with ads which you can remove if you pay 1.79$.

Editor's Review
VERY GOOD

It's a nice app with plenty of stations to choose from but it desperately needs more features.
